From Pinoyexchange:
Loonzhaus: That was what exactly Albert Sunga saw in that particular scene -- 'yung tingin daw ni Ate Guy ay may kislap ng pang-unawa at pagmamahal. Du'n nga daw siya nagsimulang mahulog kay Bobby.
At saka talagang ultimong maliliit na characters mula duon sa bading na nag-o-offer ng lollipop hanggang duon sa mga nag-iinuman at nanay na may karinderya, magagaling lahat. May ikinukuwento si Direk Mario na si Bb. Collantes daw na siyang nagsulat ng istorya ay matandang matanda na that time at pinilit lang niya talagang magsulat. Ayaw na nga daw kasi nanginginig na ang isang kamay pero sabi ni Direk sa kanya, hangga't may isang kamay at makinilya, kaya pa niyang gumawa ng isang obra. At ito na nga ang kinalabasan. Tuwang-tuwa daw siya sa character sketches ng pelikula lalo na dun sa character ni Babette na itinulad sa isang cactus na kahit isang patak lang ng tubig ay mabubuhay na at mamumulaklak kahit may katagalan. Parang si Babette, sa isang patak ng pagmamahal from Bobby, biglang namulaklak at nagdesisyong tumayo on her own.....na-inlab yata ako sa movie na ito.....by the way, first time ko lang siyang napanuod.....
(You know, that was exactly what Albert Sugna saw in that particular scene--that look of Guy (Nora Aunor) had a spark of understanding and love. He said that's when he started to fall for Bobby (Dennis Roldan)).
And even the minor characters, from the gay offering a lollipop to the men drinking and the mother at the neighborhood store, they're all great. "Direk" Mario told a story about Ms. Collantes who wrote the story, that she was old at that time and that she forced herself to write. She didn't want to, because one hand was already shaky, but "Direk" told her, as long as she has the other hand and a typewriter, she can do one more work. And this was the result. He was delighted with all the characters in the film, especially Babette, who's likened to a cactus that with just a drop of water will flourish and flower, given time. Babette, with just a drop of love from Bobby, suddenly blooms and decides to stand on her own...I seem to have fallen in love with this picture...by the way, it's my first time to see it...
Napanuod ko rin ang Condemned at masasabi ko na talagang napaka-credible ng presentation ng pagmamahalan ng magkapatid na Nora at Dan. Hindi ko alam how to say it pero parang si Mario O'Hara, kaya niyang gawing intimate ang eksena kahit "napakalaki nito." Alam mo 'yung eksenang nag-aaway na si Babette at ang nanay niya, malaki siyang eksena in the sense na andaming taong nakapaligid at umaawat sa kanila....pero sa batuhan ng mga salita nu'ng dalawa, it's as if silang dalawa lang ang tao sa screen at naglalabasan lang sila intimately ng mga tunay na saloobin......parang ganun ba......siguro nga kaya magaling si Mario ay dahil pinahahalagahan niya ang character sketches na siya niyang bukambibig sa forum.....at kaya niyang i-detach ang kanyang sarili sa artista para magawa ang tamang timpla ng characterization......
(I also saw Condemned and I can say that the presentation of sibling love between Nora (Aunor) and Dan (Alvaro) is highly credible. I don't know how to say it, but Mario O'Har can make the scene intimate even if it's a "big" one. You know the scene where Babette and her mother are fighting, it's big in the sense that the scene involves a lot of people surrounding them...yet in the exchange of words between the two, it's as if they were the only ones around, and they're expressing themselves intimately and honestly...something like that...maybe why Mario is so great is because he values the character sketches he mentioned in the forum...the same time he's able to detach himself as an artist to create the right mix of characterization...
