Recently, many people have discovered many "treasures" Philippine movies. Those small-made works are quite like the style of "neon" movies in the early years of Japan and South Korea. So many people say that this is the Filipino filmmakers following Japan and South Korea and have also begun to produce this type of work. In fact, this statement is not "fair" to them. As early as the 1980s, people had already filmed works that could cause a "sensation" in Asia and were banned due to the influence of Hong Kong's "Fengyue" films.

But now streaming media is emerging, they have taken advantage of this east wind to produce these works in a large number of video network platforms under a loose review mechanism. A few days ago, I also introduced their most famous platform, Vivamax, which has attracted many famous directors and actors to work for them.
Although there are many small-scale films in the Philippines nowadays, when it comes to the most classic and socially meaningful one, it has to be traced back to the 1980s. The movie is still talked about by many people today. This movie can be said to be the best among the "cyan" movies. It is not only a colored political metaphor film, but also the most YELLOW in the political metaphor film, at least one of them.
This movie can also be regarded as the originator of the same type of film in the Philippines, because they had never made independent films like this with themes and bold picture quality before this movie.

After this movie, almost all movies of the same type, their shooting method, can be regarded as cheap imitations of this film. Because it looks good and has connotation, it was remade twice later, but the two subsequent remakes failed to fully demonstrate its essence, which can be said to have let down its predecessor.
This movie is "Night of Scorpio", which tells the story of an adventure of a young man, Danny. This is not an ordinary adventure, but an adventure about a person's most primitive instinct, that is, X adventure.
Danny is a young man who seems to be unable to control his desires. He is at a young age. There are always some cat claws in his eyes and heart twitching him, so he likes to be a snoop. Downstairs of the apartment he rented, a couple moved in, and the two became the object of his observation.

Danny, who is very brave, not only observes, but also always fantasizes about entering their homes and finding out. Unexpectedly, this situation really happened. One time when he accidentally entered the couple's room, he was mistakenly thought by the other party's wife for his husband and came back. The two naturally had a taboo "love". But the tragedy also happened, and this steaming love affair became an obsession, which eventually led to the death of all the protagonists. This is just the general plot of the film. In fact, the interpretation of the film involves a lot of realistic things and is also very interesting.
The first reason why this movie is good-looking is that it is bold enough, and the other is that it is its background. This film is set in the Philippines martial law period and tells the painful life of those living at the bottom of society. In that environment, people can only use other ways and bold and extraordinary behavior to please themselves and others.

At the bottom of Philippine society in the 1980s, people lived in dilapidated attics. When violence and crime, criminals colluded with the government, drugs and corruption were rampant, women could not survive without dependent on men, men could not stand up without dependent on the powerful, and the way for civilians to enjoy themselves may be to return to human instinct. If material things cannot be satisfied, then start with the spirit. Therefore, the chaotic relationship and life constitute the general impression of this film, but the film's metaphor for politics is self-evident. So there is the sentence at the beginning of this article: It is both a colorful political metaphor film, and it is also the most YELLOW in the political metaphor film.
