A masterpiece;
Tinimbang ka ngunit kulang1

Directed by Lino Brocka for Cinemanila, 1974
To choose just one film from Brocka is always an exercise of foolishness. Most people would choose Bona or Maynila sa mga Kuko ng Liwanag or Insiang or Kapit sa Patalim–but Tinimbang Ka Ngunit Kulang speaks to me more for some reason. Brocka famously set about to film this in his old hometown that once ostracized him, wowing them by bringing in big stars–and then slyly makes the town as the very backdrop for his searing tale of small-town hypocrisy. Talk about the ultimate revenge. In it, the young Christopher de Leon becomes our stand-in. He plays the innocent hero who must become his own man as he struggles with the scathing drama of ordinary corruption.
