Personality assessment

The Southeast Asian amorous feelings in Brillante Mendoza's works are a fresh element in world movies. However, because he likes to show bloody and dirty scenes intuitively, he often uses documentary-style shaking shots, so it takes a certain visual endurance to watch his works (Phoenix Network Review).

Brillante Mendoza's films are independent and realistic, paying attention to the bottom people. Gender and politics are the labels of Mendoza, and his films have always challenged the viewing experience. In the movie Hostage, Brillante Mendoza comprehensively analyzed the whole incident from the perspectives of society, religion, politics and humanity. Depth, sharpness and reflection are excellent. From a technical point of view, both visual effects and picture editing are impeccable. The superposition of all this, concentrated in the two-hour film, spared no effort like carpet bombing, pounding the hearts of the audience over and over again, knocking their nerves, leaving people nowhere to hide, no way back. Fatigue and depression are the feelings of most viewers who have been baptized by Mendoza movies for two hours (Netease Review).
