Maybe Mulawin is a made up place, even in the film itself. It’s an early 20th-century caged torture facility for people who tried to escape the place.
It’s just so ironic how this film has metaphors of corruption during the Martial Law period, but Philip Salvador (who plays Narcing) learned nothing by running as Senator and being in line with what is considered as a corrupted political slate.
Maybe he did method acting and had never let go of the vulnerable mind of his character since.
Plus, the person considered as a freak in Mulawin actually has more heart and actually knows how to love than the Mulawin’s previous captain and the Esquivel family’s patriarch and his son.
I love the restored version, but the unrestored version uploaded by a couple of channels on YT which is also the same on the DVDs and VCDs of Karnal somehow makes the film more brutal, chilling, and alluring.
