ANG HULING HAPUNAN

 



     In this short film by Paolo Enrino Pascual, where it shows a story of a mother abused by her husband – under threat that her child will be taken away from her, what shocking in the story is the disappearance of his husband and then having meat in their table. At first, we can see how abusive his husband with the bruises that the woman has which leads to another scene where the couple fights because of the action of the guy and how he wanted to bring his son to Manila.

      In the last part, the guy got lost and his sister is finding her, then the woman served the dish to them that made me realize that maybe she killed his husband and used his pieces of body to make that dish she served.  What I’ve realized is that people can do anything and can think clearly when they are mad and for the sake of getting what they want even if it leads to killing someone.

TALKING ABOUT LOVE

       Love is a very complicated thing to describe and in this film by Hasoka Andagama, shows how Love is explored and showed in different aspects, types, levels, as well as experiences when it comes to it, and as we all know love is a thrilling thing to be felt, but it showcase how love is not just happy moments, it gives us   a lot of fear, decision-making, hardships, and sacrifices, not just romance and happiness.       I love how the director think of a great transition where frame by frame looks connected to each other. And how it looks complicated yet, you still understood the scenarios being presented by the director. I also noticed how simple the frames where taken and how natural lighting gives a much more realistic scenarios in the film.        Moving on to the storyline, where they emphasizes the statement   that we laughed out of fear, and how we cry out of happiness. It’s intricate how they express their feel...

A world without China

Can you imagine a world without China? A world without those contributions that they did? With the technology, food, architecture, religion, and a lot more things? With the pancit, siomai and siopao that you are eating, down to the Horoscopes that you believe in.   Way back then China is already playing a bigger role in the world specifically in the economy, for they are one of the world's fastest growing countries and the tenth's largest exporter. China is also a significant recipient of foreign aid and a major borrower on international capital markets and it is attracting vast amounts of foreign direct investment. China is considered an emerging Global Superpower in economy, military, technology, diplomacy and soft power influence. Superpower in this context is defined as a state with a dominant position that is characterized by its extensive abilty to exert influence or project power on a global scale. And we can attest to it, because most of the countries specifically Phili...

HUROP HUROP

HUROP HUROP My understanding to Kristian Sendon Cordero’s short film is that most women wanted to be consider with their hardship and sacrifices. Based on the first part of the film it was stated that all sacrifices and sufferings has an end and salvation will come. One of the women also mentioned that there is hope with the book of Ibong Adarna.   While watching the short film, the first thing that comes to my mind is the equality and freedom of women. The director of the short film  is very creative and artistic for using ceramic dolls that represents women’s thoughts and desire. This film made me realized that they are women these days are not heard and recognized. At the end of the film, the guy took the egg and use it as his breakfast and the ceramic dolls were broken which I believed that it represents about their broken hopes.
