Movie Review: Hiblang Abo
“Hiblang Abo” speaks volumes of muted memories and infinite struggles
among four men in their twilight years, confined in a hospice facility
or home for the aged. Their gray hair grows and fades unnoticed, their
lives enter the void of oblivion. Everything unfolds so naturally into
their swan song until their body pains and heartaches yield the same
intensity, when their hearing and their feelings become permanently
impaired; and when their blurry vision and memories become “clear” signs
that the inevitable state of death is as fleeting as the vibrancy of
life itself.
