User Reviews
Dekada '70 is a beautiful film and a wonderful novel that provides a
glimpse of Filipino family life in the '70's though perhaps not so accurately.
16 August 2006 | by alexisixixi – See all my reviews

Dekada '70 is as pop as the 70's is propagated today. The setting, costumes, props even the
role assignments in the family is made to be iconic. Chito Rono made an aesthetically
wonderful movie with the color complements and quite theatrical acting of the characters.
Nonetheless, i felt that the actors are a bit short or rather over in their acting. Although I
admit that I got very taken by Vilma's monologue to Christopher, it still lacked authenticity to
fully captivate the audience. The roles are played exactly but lacked genuine emotions from
the actors. Considering the book is made to capture the sympathy of its readers, which it does,
for women of the 70's as well as the sufferings of the Filipinos during martial law I expected
the movie to draw the same amount of passion if not even more especially since the best of
Filipino cinema are employed. The acting however on an overall analysis felt practiced/
mastered rather than felt from within. Nonetheless, the movie is rendered wonderfully plus the
screenplay is quite informative.
