Cannibal tours very much. I was hoping to learn more about the dynamics within the village‚ such as the role men and women play‚ do they marry from within the tribe‚ and how big of a family sleeps in one hut. I did not expect to see such amateur filmmaking for instance every time a lady was in a bathing suit the cameraman used up 30 seconds to a minute filming her.

A. The Golden Age of Philippine Films The 1950s were considered a time of “rebuilding and growth”. But remnants from the preceding decade of the 40s remained in the form of war-induced reality.
