                    >'Trabaho' is the first film I watched since the opening of
                    CineManila
                    >7 last 12 October 2005. I find the film very real and
                    insightful. In
                    >fact, I can very much relate to what the characters went
                    through
                    >during their days as 'bums' (I was unemployed too for quite
                    awhile).
                    >Also, most of them are UP people so I personally know the
                    feeling. Oh
                    >well, this is what we get for being too idealistic -
                    reality bites
                    >and it sucks bigtime!
                    >
                    >Anyway, the digital film was done very good. There were
                    some scenes
                    >were the dialogue was muffed by an instantaneous background
                    noise
                    >(i.e.: hammering in a construction site) and the soundtrack
                    was a bit
                    >weird (I don't know if those were Chinese or what?) but
                    overall, the
                    >movie did ok. As for the actors, I particularly liked the
                    girls
                    >because they are so transparent with their characters. The
                    boys also
                    >look good onscreen. Nice casting work.

                    >The whole Muslim-angle to the story was quite new for me. I
                    agree
                    >that such kind of prejudice does exist in this country but
                    I didn't
                    >know that it would extend up to that scale where such
                    information
                    >could lead detrimental to the job applicant. At least I
                    know that in
                    >the government agency I work for, it doesn't matter what
                    sect
                    >or "cult" you belong to.
