Worth seeing just to see what Manila looked like in 1982

I was very curious to see this movie. It did not particularly impress me from my point of view. The main character walks on the street and admires the very beautiful women from that part of the world. With many of them he flirts, with some of them he takes a step further in the art of love. The most erotic scene of the film takes place in a night club where a woman does strip teases and some other things that are a bit difficult to watch for a more reluctant viewer with exaggerated eroticism. A somewhat unexpected scene considering the development of the film up to that point. The greatest value he gives to the film are the images shot on the street through the city of Manila in 1982, both during the day and at night. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would give this movie a 6.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
