I was counting my crochet stitches so I wasn't paying attention. Why I looked up and to catch them kissing like they not FATHER AND SON?????? The way I SCREAMED "AW HELL NAH!"
The mom in this is wild cuz you'd 100% need to institutionalize me if I found out that my husband was sleeping with my adoptive son who in turn was sleeping with my daughter. 😭
And then he offs himself and her kids drive off into the sunset and she's just sitting there with all of this knowledge that she can't share with anyone! O_O
If I were her I would've taken all my riches and worldly possessions and moved to the Scottish Highlands to become a mad bog witch with my pet magpies who steal whimsical baubles and children's teeth for me. I would have also hired contract killers on the dark web to set the old house in the Philippines on fire.
That woman is clearly dead inside. Every scene she's in she just seems so lifeless. She looks dry AF when her daughter is crying about being pregnant and when she confronts Robert, she looks like she's crying because someone said that's how it should be done.
I know JonTron is controversial, but I couldn’t help but think of one of his bits. “Papa…(plays trumpet badly)…I can still hear the screams, papa…(plays trumpet badly)”
Kissing your adoptive dad right over the grave of your actual deceased dad who also f'd your adoptive dad is a form of disrespect I never expected to witness
It's taking me everything to not take that clip and insert it into the anime with spliced lines of Kennie saying, "That's right, I'm Kira" or whatever the English equivalent is. SHE REVIEWED THE DUMPSTERFIRE THAT IS THE NETFLIX DEATH NOTE 'FILM' IT WOULDN'T EVEN BE HARD TO FIND GOOD LINES
The mom is so dead inside, she just wanted an average family but instead got an adopted son who slept with a majority of the house, a pregnant daughter who is dead set on sexually loving her adopted sibling, and a closeted gay man who raised his own lover.
I don't even blame the son for this. He was obviously coerced by the daughter into a relationship and was possibly even groomed by the dad, who literally got with his own adopted child.
@@asimplemoth5342Agree, like, step families are not seen as family structures like any other that deserve to be shown and respected, but as mere pxrn categories for people who don't know how step families work, to get off to.
... There are a lot of things in the world of fiction that should not be common tropes. - technically not related - daddy kink - bad boy / good girl - somnophilia (at least on ao3) - beastiality - blatant misogyny - romanticised abuse - questionable power dynamics - rape to consent....??? - jealousy portrayed as romantic - curing depression with sex/romance - suicide/mental health as an aesthetic - Fix 'em with love/sex - Normalisation of substance abuse/alcohol abuse - Drunk sex ... and the list goes on...
Human beings are unfortunately famously not always very discerning when it comes to “taboo sexy.” We’ll really just take something and run with it, for better or worse (often worse)
@@alleahffrancisco2922I've been in a film museum in Manila & our stuff's been Wild since the beginning(1940s?). So they keep having to crank up the drama.
Bruh that’s a horrible ending. I rather see the movie end with the scandal of the adoptive son’s dad and daughter be exposed to the public and that he doesn’t end up with either of them
We saw this in theatres AND LET ME TELL YOU. The moment the dad got assassinated in the world's slowest boat in that river, we knew it was an experience. The awful dollar store set design, the stilted dialogue, the LONG ASS SEX SCENES. It felt like something they'd play to create a rift in reality and send you to straight to the backrooms. The audience were dead silent the whole time (probably out of sheer shell shock). You can hear people shifting in their seats, some were cursing under their breath. Then the scene where the daughter walked in on them in the graveyard, and everyone just started losing their collective shit. There were screams and horrified laughter throughout, it felt like that scene in Midsommar where Florence Pugh was crying in sync with the cult. When the dad's gigantic glam photo popped out for the funeral procession, the laughter just became more manic and deranged until the credits rolled.
What is the theater going experience in The Philippines like? I'm curious. Do other movies get a similar response or is that a rarity because I heard that theater experiences in other countries tend to be vastly different then here in the US
@@devonmunn5728 For the most part, it's pretty normal, but people can get reactive in certain movies. The most fun I had in theaters is during horror movies because it can get loud and you can just hear people curse loudly. This movie was a special case because people thought it was gonna be a serious drama because it was showcased at a film festival. Instead we got... whatever this is lol
I wanna agree with you, but at the beginning of the ad she said it was co-founded by Ray J… if you know ANYTHING about that man, this tracks honestly. 😩😆
Wait til u see that one filipino movie where two sisters' husbands cheat on them with each other and then the sisters do borderline illegal shit for revenge I still have yet to find the title 😭✋
@@yourfavoriteoompaloompa139 her scream is funny. I was screaming with her until my mama heard and ask me if I was ok which I tell her no and that im physically and emotionally in pain
I was expecting some anime nonsense like the mom falling for the daughter, but wait! It's not incest! You see, the son is actually a product of an affair between her and HIS father, and the daughter is just some random kid they adopted 😭
As someone who has a step sister and step dad, it disgusts me so much that movies like these say explicitly or implicitly 24/7 that step family isn't "real" family and thus incest is acceptable. It just tells me that the people who write these trash doesn't know the slightest bit of how step families are and that we are just a pxrn category for their entertainment.
Step families are basically like adoption, so if people see adopted relatives are seen as actual relatives I don't see why it's not the same with step family members
Step families are absolutely families. My dumb aunt told me my half sister wasn't my REAL sister bc we have different dads, and I just screamed in her face. Like, lady? Get lost.
True, but don't get it twisted, there's more than too much of them doing this with actual incest, especially with twins. There was an entire marvel comic series where Wanda and Pietro were madly in love with each other. The anime Ouran highschool host club flaunts two male twins being very erotic with one another and it's one of the more popular animes out there. Not to mention the infamous Cassandra Clare and her obsession with "forbidden incest love". And with this kind of media, it's not even romanticizing, it's fetishizing. Romanticizing is when someone thinks "oh my god look at how wonderful this thing must be, I wish I could live it" while not taking reality into account and how it does not work this way, while fetishizing is "look at how hot this fcked up thing is, I want to have a very out there sexual fantasy about it because I want to experience a disposable scenario without consequences". The problem comes when the movie is very obviously the latter and insists it has deeper meaning. If it was a silly parody, it could've actually been a decent movie through making fun of the kinds of people who romanticize incest, but it basically shows how little these directors and writers care about what message they actually send and how poorly they think of the audience's intelligence.
@@toxihex876I mean, I would argue that not only are your definitions of romanticized/fetishized incorrect, but also that an intelligent audience would understand that this is weird, laugh and move on (like most people who watched this video). if anyone is 1) genuinely mad at this movie for not being the moral compass you're looking for, and/or 2) looking for your moralities to be present in every film that exists... I think you're then overestimating the audience's intelligence
@@registeredjopper So you're not going to elaborate on why you think my definitions are wrong? You're just going to stop by to express superiority and not back it up? Because I think I summed it up pretty accurately in the given context. The people involved in the making of the movie pretend it paints a deep moral picture in interviews, how can you say "not everything has to have a moral bla bla" at someone who discusses it when it's literally a point in the video?
This movie ended like the evil all along was just being gay. It was like the two dads relationship was so contagious and bad that it was getting in the way of true love between a brother and sister! Everyone has a sobbing meltdown over a gay affair and completely brush over all the incest involved?! He knew that boy as a child! That would be horrible even if he had no hand in raising him! Kenny please watch adore starring Naomi Watts and Princess Buttercup. I am permanently scared and still think about it despite only ever seeing it once a decade ago. I need the catharsis of seeing my pain understood by someone else 😂
A therapist for each, a family therapist, then one couples therapist for the parents, an exorcist from every religion, chamans, reiki healers, sage by the bucket, wizards....
I... I can't fathom wanting to sleep with someone who you considered a father figure AS YOU'RE KNEE DEEP IN THEIR DAUGHTER aka someone you considered your sister. this movie is hell lol
Seeing something you would normally only see as a bad wattpad fanfic in movie form with real ass actors, crew and budget makes me realize we really living in the worst timeline
You know we are in for a treat when Kennie starts the video in dead silence. Always makes me want to buckle down and I know I'm going to relisten to some scenes because wtf did she just say
That's just to start. Let's add 1) sister screwing...no really 2) dark-skinned Filipinos getting some love but not how you want it 3) incest but not really but fr fr cause adopted kids are family too 4) Don't get mad at the author-you clicked on this now we're both going to hell.
It’s Filipino drama full on package Cheating, pregnancy, gay, the most insane tropes looking back from now as a kid growing up to these dramas how tf did pll find this cute😭😭
I feel like this was a common issue in early queer films. They would tie queerness to some horrible thing that would be bad because on it’s own it’s bad (like cheating on a spouse or an age-gap relationship between a student and teacher) but then try to make the movie about the ‘struggle of being gay’ which is not the actual problem…like consensual relationships between single queer adults are fine. ‘Being gay’ is somehow a problem they always wound around OTHER problems that were far more severe. But the two were so entagled in the plot some straight viewers could walk away thinking they were so lucky not to have gay-people problems.
As someone living in the Philippines, watching the actors in this movie go around different TV shows to promote this and the hosts of those shows act like this was bound to be the best movie of the decade was so wild to me. They marketed this as a regular old BL movie and even celebrated that the trailer went viral after it came out. I was not surprised that this movie tanked so badly. PS: It was released on Christmas Day as part of the Metro Manila Film Festival. It was only shown in theaters for two weeks, I think.
@@gabiluch87 the actors said it's a different kind of "love story". And that it would also highlight different family dynamics and values. All Filipino movies that have affairs in them always say the same bullshit. The director said this was based on a true story. He also said "not all gay stories should be positive or else that would be "unrealistic" or "romanticism"". Then said people would learn a "good lesson" from watching the film. 😬
@@dpdlvmflf ... I was operating entirely on the assumption that these filmmakers knew very well that his was the trashiest, nastiest thing they could make, solely out of a desire to cash in on infam and push as many boundaries as they possibly could with zer oregard to whether the story was believable, or grounded in recognizable human psychology. With this dded context I must either presume the films crew who hyped this up were either SUPER-LYING, or they genuinely believe the hype they tried to spread which is most certainly the WORSE option.
@@Jen-uk6ly the director himseld couldn't give one specific "good lesson" tbh lol it's just a thing filmmakers in the Philippines like to say, no matter how stupid or messed up their projects' plots are.
There’s not enough Sweeney Todd rerun marathons to cure the PTSD this movie gave to Kennie. When she went offscreen I thought she was gonna come back with a bottle of tequila or something 💀
When I saw trailers for this movie, I assumed that Matthew and Mica were already in a relationship and she introduces him to her parents and he starts an affair with her dad. This is so much worse!! (Also, men's consent matters too!!)
She's telling people about her music instead of having people hunt for it on their own like weirdo stalkers. That's a thing I like to call...GROWTH.❤❤❤❤ And the album is phenomenal!😊
Released on Christmas? A true holiday story 😂 I just imagine someone watching this for Christmas and needing to take a walk, a shower and call a therapist.
This movie traumatized me. At some point I thought the wife would fall for the son too. I'm sorry. This movie made me go back to being a Cristian. I'm gonna go die now.
I am so sorry but those absolutely guttural screams that Kennie had sent me 💀 24:24 That slow realization to straight up painful insanity laugh is the highlight of my day
You know. It's hard to guess how bad things are gunna be when we open on sibling incest and Kennie's like. Oh no. That's bad, but it's not the worst thing that happens in this movie.
and for the dad-son relationship, at some point it literally doesn't even matter if the younger guy is his adopted son. you don't have a sexual relationship with someone when you were around them as an adult for their ENTIRE CHILDHOOD, PERIOD. the fact that thats his adopted son and that he literally raised him are just two more sick and horrific elements to a relationship that is already inherently predatory 🤢
To your knowledge what is the average Filipino persons opinion on these movies? I know obviously some people in a group can't speak for all but is there some sort of consensus in these soap opera films?
@@devonmunn5728 this is my opinion only so other folks are free to chime in, but I feel like this movie (and others like it) missed the mark in exploring otherwise taboo topics and focuses instead on the shock value/drama. Which doesn’t help the already bleak regard most (not all) heteronormative/religious Filipinos have for the LGBTQ+ community 😅 There was a lot of hype for this one show a few years ago, My Husband’s Lover (didn’t watch it personally but it gained a lot of praise in the mainstream), where you had straight actors playing gay men (same goes for this film, at least to my knowledge) and with similar plot points, so it’s not even a new concept. The actors in this movie Kennie covered are also very recognizable since they’re on multiple primetime dramas, so I think it’s probably going for the same audiences… All of this to say (and to highlight another comment’s point) Filipino cinema is a treasure trove, but there are also those that end up on Bad Movies and A Beat 😂
Same cuz im pretty sure people who let this happen did some nepotism and power tripping cuz this??? Fuck no Our movies have been such a trash for years just close the cinemas 🙃
When Ken says that "Who's better in bed, her or her father?" line, and she looks in the camera, you damn near hear the glass shatter in her mind. That was the moment she broke. Lmao.
When Kennie said 'oh god' at 26:33 I was half expecting to hear her say that they moved on from kissing to getting down on the dead fathers grave. I would have honestly not beed surprised if that's where it went.
What in the mid 2000s yaoi ova is going on here? The title alone feels like a title you’d see in a doujin you’d accidentally stumble upon on RU-vid in 2008 while nightcore plays and the whole thing is in a rainbow filter
This one left a sour taste, no wonder you were screaming 😂reminds me of the worst gay trope movie I'd ever seen, about two French sisters, who were maids and killed their lady. Oh and were lovers cause incest is totally not weird right 😢😢
Sooo...the adopted sibling thing is extremely creepy (the whole movie is), but I've read enough classic literature to know that a "ward" of your parents might just have ended up being your spouse...but I can't handle it in a modern context 😂
I mean, there's Mansfield Park, in which the lead character is taken in by her aunt and uncle when she's a similar age as the kids in the movie because her parents are poor, and when the idea is first suggested to the aunt and uncle they're like "what if she falls for one of our boys though?" (cousins weren't considered weird back then) and the response is literally "of course they won't! they'll grow up together like siblings", and they then proceed to treat her so differently from their own kids that of course they don't actually feel like siblings. So like, a story written back when wards were more of a thing and literally about two cousins ending up together still made a point that "they weren't actually raised as siblings tho cause that'd be weird"
Yeah very creepy this guy knew him since he was a literal child (and the dad was an adult) and then was able to turn around and be sexually and romantically attracted to him
Yeah in the medieval era it wasn’t uncommon for fathers to essentially force their ward to marry their bio kid (this was particularly common with male wards and their bio daughters). Granted wardship wasn’t 100% comparable to adoption because wards weren’t necessarily folded into the family structure in the same way, and it can get really complicated when you factor in estates and inheritance and all that. Having your ward marry your kid was a strategy to preserve your own lineage while also gaining access to the ward’s inheritance from their own (deceased) family. Like a lot of things in history it comes down to greed and maintaining social/economic/political power.
The emotion this movie invoked in me is indescribable. Also kissing your dead friend who was also your gay lover's son in front of his grave and your daughter who's simultaneously pregnant with his child caches you doing so is the most nihilistically hilarious thing in the world.
I am so so so sorry that you had to watch this. My friend who is obsessed with BL tricked me into watching this with her because the movie summary was so vague that I had no idea what I was walking into. I also screamed and left the room when the daughter caught them, and luckily, I missed the part when she asked him who was better in bed 😅. I'm pretty sure I dissociated during the seggs scenes because thankfully I don’t remember them lol.
Kennie I watch your videos every week and I would PAY to see you review a movie called The Black Room. It's the weirdest horny horror movie about an incubus (the male version of a succubus, basically) and it is SO BAD. It's the very first movie I ever worked on as a French translator, and I legit thought the studio was hazing me at first, but it was legit on Netflix for a while. (It came out in 2017 and was made by Rolfe Kanefsky). I'll cross my fingers to see you cover this one day, it would be hysterical. Love your videos!
@@kitt3nbones581 It's sooo bad haha I hope you find it!! And if you do, please think of me and remember I had to watch every second of it repeatedly to translate it! 🥲
I had to re-read that 6 times to figure out you weren't saying the daughter was cheating on her husband with her dad. Anime and this movie have broken me.
it's actually kind of shocking to see the foster dad or whatever's actor in this film because it's not like that man is some d-list in the philippines who needs this sort of movie shock value to get his name out there wtf. guess you gotta do what you gotta do to pay the bills.
also this is giving me Nollywood esque ghetto except instead of the gay theme it would be the mother sleeping with Matthew. You'll find at least 3 Nigerian movies with this kind of trope😭😭😭
Just looking at all the trigger warnings, I said out loud "Welp... this one is gon be a doozy lol". And not Kennie saying the same thing 20 seconds into the video lol
As a queer Filipino, this movie just isn't it. T_____T I watched your content and I didn't realize this was Filipino (in the title) until it started. SKSKKSS. You are SOOOO mother. Please watch Nocebo (2022) and/or Adan (2019). They are both horror/ thriller films. :>
O______O When Kennie said "in what way do you miss him?" I was saying out loud to myself, "No, stop. Please tell me it's not gonna go that way.. it can't go that way.." and then it went SO FAR that way, I had to pause the video to collect my jaw up off the floor. Whyyyyyyy 😭
😬 Their story will happen again in the future, since he's gay and he learn how to cheat from both of his dads and she learn how to conform just like her mother....
How did they expect the audience to respond to this? Were we supposed to support Mica for wanting to *bond* with her adopted brother, the lesser of two evils, or ignore all reason and decency just for some BL 🌽? The brainwashing that must have gone on behind the scenes to convince anyone this would be a successful movie with a well-received ending scares me 😳
