The Dekada ’70 is an excellent movie adaptation of this novel with the same title. Maintained the soul of the novel the film beyond the limits of film as an audio-visual medium. Perhaps, helped a lot having only one writer. Well become the trend of movies like this novel split in the year of the 70s. Great rendition of the main characters (except Carlos Agassi) which gave breath to the characters then read only. Returned film in the 70s pictures of the scene shows its demonstrations, protests and rallies that really happened during that time. The music and sounds are often illustrious fit and would be transmitted to the emotions of the movie. Design became weak only pamproduksiyon movie was not scrupulous in make-up, and costumes of the staff were not always fit in time. — www.cbcpworld.com
