This runs contrary to my faith that in God, all good things, as well as salvation, are possible. He struck me as a very intelligent and highly principled man. It's a shame because Dr. Tiongson is a moderate, who had very concrete plans on how to help curb the trend towards sexually explicit films, and he is intellectually strongly opposed to pornography. It didn't make me want to view a live toro performance, for one. Secondly, I didn't find the sexual acts passionate, or a turn-on.
Sex is presented as a last resort for individuals who have no other means of making a living.
The photography and lighting in no way try to romanticize their acts. The actors never give the impression that they are enjoying what they are doing. In the scene where the toreros and toreras are made to perform at a private, supposedly upper-class party, the message is very clear that the people in the audience are very callous and just want to satisfy their curiosity. The film is very depressing. Nobody who watches this would wish to have the life of any of the main characters portrayed by Klaudia Koronel, Ana Capri, and Paolo Rivero had.
