"Hinalughog ko ang buong Maynila pero wala si Ligaya." Tagos sa puso ang linyang yun.

I'm from india and i saw two of Brocka's masterpiece. Insiang and Manila in the claws of Light. I rate those movies 10/10.

The Tagalog used in older films is just immaculate, modern-day Taglish lines don't compare at all!

Ganito ang buhay nung panahon ni Marcos. Huwag nyo sasabihin yang Golden Age na kalechehan na yan. Kung totoong masarap buhay noon, hindi magkakaroon ng mga ganitong pelikula. Lahat ito shot on location. Maski yun mga sa squatter. Hindi pa uso CGI nun

Jay Ilagan was supposed to play Julio but Lino Brocka fired him because he was overweight . He did not look like a fisherman. The movie is now part of The Criterion Collection. Martin Scorcese is a huge fan of Lino Brocka.

I watched this when I was still in first year college. Was strolling around UP Theatre. DAMN! this movie is solid

[megancastro]

Mr. Bong Joon Ho took inspiration from this film to create his renowned films, including "Parasite".

I restore ang mga mahahalagang lumang mga pelikula para mabuhay Ang patay na industriya nang pelikulang pilipino ngayon

[langelodidio-goaldo]

Capolavoro del cinema filippino, pellicola davvero molto drammatica, di denuncia sociale, girata con tensione e con uno sguardo crudo sulla realtà di una metropoli filippina, con sequenze di crudo squallore. Un finale drammatico.

[firefirefire]

Hate ni Imelda ang movie na to noon kasi masyadong lantad sa movie na ito ang kahirapan sa Maynila noon.
