Atsay vs. Rubia Servios commentary
In 1979, Isagani Cruz of
TV Times commented about
Atsay and
Rubia Servios. He states: "
Rubia Servios is
Lino Brocka's film;
Atsay is
Eddie Garcia's. Nora does an excellent acting job; but so does Vilma Santos, and
Rubia is a much more demanding and difficult role. Edgardo M. Reyes is an established literary figure, but
Mario O'Hara is much better screenwriter. Overall,
Atsay may be much more impressive than
Rubia Servios. In terms of challenging our moral and legal convictions, however,
Rubia Servios is much more significant." ==References==
