1.) A story between a lovers who are in love but also had conflict and get separated because the girl which is "Tanya" went to Europe to work and find opportunity while the guy which is " Leo" is the breadwinner of his family because his mother left them while his father had a diabetes and cannot provide the needs of his family especially of his hobby " Cock Fighting" and Leo's brother which is "Pol" who lied that he is attending class but in the end he changed and find a work.
2.) It is a great movie with good example of character. It gives moral lesson that brings enlightenment to your life. The strength of the film is when Leo gives advice to his father to go on with his life even if his wife left them. Leo gives support and help his Dad to support the family. it gives lesson that family must stick and help with each other no matter what trials in life. The weakness is when Tanya left Leo even their love is strong and has bonded, Tana chooses to go to other country to look for better life.
3.) Leo and Pol are the characters that have strong personality in the movie. Leo is hardworking, independent and good son in fact he provides the needs of his family. He also have patience especially to customers who are hard headed. In another side, Pol is the brother of Leo where in he always uses the name of God. He is also a liar because he kept secret that he is not attending class to his brother ad kept the money for his own satisfaction rather than spending it in his studies.
4.) In my opinion, the director's intention is to give lesson for people to be more responsible and equal in terms of Family and your personal relationship. It is related to our Philippine culture especially to people who are the same as Leo being a provider at the young age of his life. Like Leo and Tanya, they separate because they want to give good life in their own families rather than their personal wants and needs.
5.) THUMBS UP...... ;)

1. The film Endo is a shortcut term for "End of Contract". The film rotated on the life of Leo, lead actor, wherein his life is under the series of terminable contracts. He wasn't able to finish his studies and was forced to become the family's breadwinner due to his sick father. In the middle of the film, he fell in love with Tanya and soon became lovers but their love affair didn't last because Tanya chose to work abroad to grab the opportunity to have a better life. 2. The film depicts the typical life of a Filipino family. It is a sad reality that almost every Filipino has to undergo several contracts to be able to provide the needs of their family. I find Tanya's scene of pursuing her life long dream rather than settling with Leo as the strength of the movie. But then, the sudden shift of storyline confused me. I can no longer tell which is the real subject of the film - is it the end of contracts or the love life of Leo. 3. I can relate well with the characters of Leo and Tanya. They have the desire, determination of getting what they want. They know what they want in life; they have dreams and they will do anything and everything just to achieve it. 4. I guess the director's message is that, we Filipinos are strong-willed. No matter what happens, we will do whatever it takes just to get what we've always wanted. 5. Thumbs up!

1) A story is entitled as "ENDO" which means of End Of Contract. The Story is about the two lovers which Leo is the simple guy who is always tired to work for his family (brother(pol) and father) and Tanya a girl who has a dream to work at the cruise. Every relationship that Leo had is always having a conflict and ended up upon breaking relationship by having Endo at First w/ candy and Lastly w/ Tanya that really breaks his heart for tanya's dream is very important than him . 2) The movie is so very unique as it is about for self, relationships, families and friends that is very fulfilling especially about life. The strength is about the love of Leo and Tanya for each other and the weakness is the Endo of tanya in the mall and her dream that's why their relationship is remained unclear... 3)Leo the Hardworking Son he said that he doesn't have any dreams only to survive is that i'm happy and have live in a simple life and Tanya who has a dream that is too high to achieve for a long time to make her family live out of the country. Leo is a simple hardworking person who is happy to survive each day and Tanya who is has a high dream for her own and her family in the future. I think they are the main characters. 4)That everything has an End as like as the End Of Contract . It relates about Hospitality it is related because it's about customer service as do Leo work in the Fast food Chain, Department Store, Supermarket as a merchandise keeper and finally a restaurant manager and Tanya who works in Department Store, Hotel as a Housekeeper and finally in the cruise. 5) THUMPS UP!!! ;D

1. The story was ENDO which means "end of contract". For me, it was a story of two lovers who decided to separate because of their own dreams and goals in life. Leo which is the main character who supports his brother in his studies and his father that has a diabetics. he fall in love twice, first with candy, but she left to go to Las Piñas to work. and tanya his second love left to fulfill her dreams in the cruise. 2. the film has many lessons, specially in thinking first about your own family. It also gives a lesson to us, people who's studying , not to waste the money our parents giving to us for the tuition, because they work hard for it just to give this life and opportunity to study. not all people can go to school, let;s worth the handwork of our parents. STRENGTH- it when Leo does everything for his family, and when we know that they are working to achieve their dreams. WEAKNESS- is when he knows that his brother is not enrolled in school and when his love ones needed to left him. 3. Leo. even if he didn't finish his studies and even though his father is still there, he is the one who supports his family and leads good model to his brother, even if his brother Pol lied about his studies. He is a good role model to others of being such a responsible person. 4. For me, the intention of the film was, you should be ready in every happenings in our life, specially when the end comes. it teaches us also on being a responsible, good model. Every people should work hard to reach their own dreams and goals in life. The key to success in our lives is on our own hands. 5. THUMBS UP! ;D

1. Endo is a story about a simple man who has a simple family who face tragedy like his mother leave their family, his young brother didn’t study well and his father had an accident that caused him to stop in his studies and start to work. He is a boy who fell in love 1st time with a girl but break him but it does not affect him and still move on life. he fell in love again with a girl accidentally and after a long time of being with each other the boy fully loved the girl but the girl has to leave to fulfill his goal to go to Europe in a ship to work there and must leave him too. 2. It’s a great indie movie. It shows many values to learn in our life and it reflects too many people in the world with 2 different people meeting with their faith. The strength is when the boy support his family even they have so many problems and the weakness is when the girl left the boy to work abroad for her better life. 3. Leo and pol are the characters I identify with. Leo is person who is very hard working and very supportive son while pol is leo’s brother who always uses the name of god but in contrast he is a liar person that he is not attending class. 4. In my opinion the director intention is to give a message that we must be responsible to our actions we do and to be a independent person and not to depend on his family. It is related to our era especially to people who are the same as Leo being a breadwinner at young age of his life and Like Leo and Tanya, they separate because they want to give good life in their own families rather than their personal wants and needs. 5. Thumbs up!

1. ENDO is about the story of a guy "Leo" which has a life living in the contracts. Leo is the breadwinner in his family and in every end of contract he face in his job he also faces a problem that the girl he love inside that job will leave him because Leo doesnt believe in long distance relationship. Even though Leo faces so many problem, he doesnt give up because his only inspiration is his family. 2. The movie wants us to see the life of some filipinos who is not lucky enough to have a life full of opportunities. The story gives us an idea what will happen in our life when we will not finish our studies. I believe the strength in the story is when leo accept the the truth when candy wants to break up with him and go on with his life while the weakness is when leo and candy make up again while leo is in a relationship to tanya. 3. the character of leo is a good example of a filipino which he loves his family so much that he can sacrifice his wants just to help his father and brother to get what they want. 4. i think the directors intention is for the filipinos to have a great respect to the family and to pursue their dreams and always work hard. The directors message is "even though nothing is permanent, we must always pursue and work hard because after the end of contract, we can always find a new one to apply with.,just wait,., 5. thumbs up!!!!

1. Is a movie that tells the story about a Filipino named Leo who is the breadwinner of his family (father and brother). He fell in love with a spirited dreamer named Tanya and finally gave him a taste of security and permanence.
2. This movie tells a lot of strengths, one of those is the brotherly love. It is the scene when Leo got mad when he had a knowledge that his brother Pol didn’t enroll. After a day they made up with each other without talking about the problem by just talking about other matter. Weakness is the time when Leo is dating with Candy when he already had an affair with Tanya.
3. Leo though he didn't finish his studies, looked for a job in order to finance his needs and his family. Also his characteristic as a typical person who doesn't have grouch with what he has. Though being typical doesn't mean his contented with what he is, he is still pursuing for his dream.
4. I think that the director's intention is that he wants to show the typical life of a Filipino. Unable to finish one's education doesn't mean you can't do anything much. You just have to have motivation, perseverance and reason. Problems in life can be solved if you do an action. Don’t let problems let you down. Keep moving forward.
5. Thumbs up.

Rosil Joana M. Lupac ia05407 1.) The story was entitled ENDO which means "end of contract". It told a love story set in the world of contractual labor, where people are trained to accept that everything is temporary. It’s a heartbreaking little tale that says so much with so little. 2.) one strength that i could find in this movie is that all of the artists did a great job in doing their roles. another one is when Tanya still pursue her dream to work in Europe despite the fact that she will be million miles away from her love one,Leo. One weakness that i notice is when pol, left their house because he got into a fight with his brother. 3.) Tanya. Her determination to pursue her dreams. she knows what to do with her life and how to get up from setbacks and trials. 4.) The story wants us to know that we should be responsible for every action that we make. and from the title itself, i think that this wants us to realize that everything come to an end. everything is temporary. 5.) thumbs up

1.) It is primarily a love story; a well crafted one at that. It is the kind of independent film that one can really get behind and fall in love with.
2.) strength is all the actors really act well, including supporting roles and bit players. weakness is that the pacing of the movie was rather slow.
3.) Leo. his character in the movie shows that he can sacrifice for the sake of his own family.
4.)the director's intention was to tell everyone that everything is temporary.
5.) thumbs up!

May C. Dimaculangan IA05407 1. ENDO is about the story of the workers who has their End of Contract. they are not permanent in their work. it was also a story about lovers who faced trials. 2. it was a great film, it can easily understand what the film want to express. the actors/actresses did a great job. the weakness for me is that in the end, for me it was left hanging. but indie film was created for the viewers to think so maybe that's why it was left hanging. 3. Tanya, because in the film, she have many dreams that want to pursue. she never gave up even if she was facing problems. and she taught Leo to dream, and made it come true. 4. i think the director want to express that you have to dream and pursue it. you have to work for it. it was related to Philippines Culture because some of the Filipinos forget how to dream, especially the lower ones, but you have to dream in order to get out of that position in the country. and it was related on the era it was made because nowadays, the work of the people is contractual, and it is rare to have regular job. 5. Thumbs UP!!
