Huling Tawad (Last Haggle) – 180 Microcinema Festival
Narito ang ilang Komento:
"This short film challenges the individualized "perception" of the viewers. It raises this fundamental question: what lesson(s) on humanity the film delivers? I saw a "buyer" and a "seller" haggling on the price of the guitar. And yet, in a very subtle way, the Director implies a bitter-sweet "past" between the two principal characters. He then uses that item (guitar) as a medium/bridge/link in allowing these two individuals to cross path, meet in a new time and place, reconcile and patch up things under the spirit of forgiveness. Great "theme planning" on the part of the writer/director and a very realistic portrayal by two principal actor/actress." -Francis Banaynal
"Huling Tawad (Last Haggle) is a concise but multidimensional film. Breaking down scenes would reveal a meaning or two that support the story and each theme aspect [Somehow shows (a journey towards) Matthew 6:12 and the obvious, the difficult art of haggling (for love/courtship or a good guitar)]. It is visually, acoustically, and semantically meaningful." -April Hazel Gay Dela Cruz
"The story is simple but heartwarming naiyak ako....but forgiving the one you love for whatever misgivings he had done is all that matters....(ang pagpapaTAWAD ikanga ay higit pa sa TAWAD.)" -Josphine
"Wel-thought-of; It is really from the heart, Awesome!" -Oneeleventwo010
"Kakaiba ito ah. Pinag-isa yung paghingi ng tawad sa pagtawad sa presyo ng gitara. Ibig sabihin, may nakaraan sila. pwede pala yun? ok ah." -LJC Nelnav
"Great Job. Well done!" -Evelyn Mills
"Pretty good micromovie! Perfect." -Oneeleventwo010

"Wow. #lasthaggle's has effectively shown in a short film every love story's bitter sweet reality... :)" -Zita Buena
"Very direct to the point - how the lady empathized with the customer who did not have enough money to buy the guitar. It was the start of a relationshiip that would last a lifetime. Very simple yet powerful message. Very humane. Less dialogue but powerful message." -William Ong
"Touched me." -Malou Nocedo
