Viva Films is actually gambling and hoping for the best with this biopic.Presidential Award for Vilma Santos-Recto Famas Lifetime Achievement Award for Gloria Sevilla Fernando Poe Jr. On the latter, I think the piece is well researched and I don't think well-known celebrities who happens to be also Iglesia ni Cristo members would take part in something that will give shame to either their church or its leaders. In addition, this biopic walks a very risky and thin line as it tends to get more criticism from both the believer and non-believer of the religious organization: (1) Criticism from the non-believers as they might not be open for it and may very well call this as a propaganda or agenda (2) Criticism from the believers in terms that they might not like how their beloved leader will be portrayed, or how the film will take some liberties from the actual history of their leader. It is like most costumes are straight out of a Filipiniana contemporary tailoring shop which can sometimes draw one out of the supposedly 1900 period. If I were to nitpick, one observation I noticed when it comes to Philippine produced period pieces is that the costumes are too neat and clean. I for one am particularly interested to see this film out of curiosity of the life of the religious leader and how they are able to execute the 1900 Philippine setting. The biopic is also a period piece that gives us sneak peak on what life is like in the late 1800 to early 1900 here in Philippines of the struggle of "Ka Felix" in founding a religion in a Roman Catholic dominated (in terms of religion) country like the Philippines. One can immediately say that the biographical film of one of the most influential religious leaders of the Philippines has a good production value. The Felix Manalo Biopic teaser trailer looks excellently shot. Guess it is a thing with teaser trailers for biopics whiich can also be observed with the Kid Kulafu (Manny Pacquiao Biopic) teaser trailer when it was first released.
So instead of actual lines that could give us a preview of how the writing is like in the film, we are instead presented with the film's potential good musical scoring.
