@asongsigbinatmgakaibigan: This queer short film entitled "Si Astri Maka Si Tambulah" by Rappler Act One hits hard. Love is not always loud; sometimes, love endures in silence. The short film captures the essence that loving is also about letting go. It is noble to sacrifice your own happiness for someone you truly love, but it can also be cruel and unfair to both of you. It made me wonder, is sacrificing your own happiness worth letting go for someone you truly care about, or is it selfish not to hold on out of filial piety? #astri #queermovies #fyp #fypシ

a man who's willing to run away with you and also a man who's willing to sacrifice his freedom so you can run away and enjoy yours. a man that saves you no matter what. that is love.

Arkeer_Yatra, Rsw :

it was filmed here sa zamboanga city. their tribe are sama bajao. i am sama banguingui. so kataw ko bang ayyan pamungan nila eehh😁

🍎 :

sa ending nakuha ni astri yung freedom na gusto nya, di sya nakulong sa kasal na ayaw nya pero sa araw ng kasal na yun totoo nga bang malaya na talaga sya o ngayon ay magiging bilanggo naman sya sa mga alaala at pagmamahalan nila ni tambulah?

I rarely watch films na spoil na ako but this was too beautiful to pass up. Start pa lang iyak na ako ng iyak until the end. I just stared at the blank screen for 5 minutes after finishing. God, it felt like they ripped my heart out and tore it into a million pieces.

SiN :

short but top tier indeed 🥺

all we ever wanna do in this world is love

Lūlù :

I don't know if I'm just too woke or not but...I don't think this is only about love anymore. It's the way society is shaped and seen as this mechanical and transactional way, specially marriage. Marriage is nothing but a contract and it is still romanticized and even I just realized it in college and I hate it because I want a family too and be in love. I don't see this film as queer film, I just see this film as the definition of freedom to be ourselves and love is sacrificial in nature. I wish we could live in a society where we can be happy the way we want to be.
