Pelikula at Lipunan 2006 pays tribute

The screen divas, past and present, take centerstage in a special film festival dubbed as "Pelikula at Lipunan 2006," sponsored by the Mowelfund Film Institute. The filmfest is showcasing the best movies of the leading ladies in cinema at Cineplex 5 of Gateway Mall in Cubao from February 24 to March 19.

"Pelikula at Lipunan 2006" opened with a gala last Feb 22 with the presence of two movie queens Susan Roces and Amalia Fuentes, together with some of filmlandia’s finest leading ladies: Lilia Dizon, Delia Razon and Boots Anson Roa. They were awarded with a medallion of recognition, and honored with a screening of the oldest surviving film feature in the Philippines,

Zamboanga, and snippets of three film classics that were considered lost for the past fifty years: Ang Banga ni Zimadar, and the original Dyesebel and Darna.

Also seen at the event were comedian Metring David, Alma Concepcion, Leopoldo Salcedo’s daughter Yvonne Salcedo-Jones, former Miss Philippines Myrna Borromeo, German Moreno, Robert Arevalo, Eddie Romero, Quezon City Mayor Sonny Belmonte, Caloocan City’s first lady Purificacion Echiverri, Cecille Guidote Alvarez and Marichu Maceda.

"In this festival, we decided to highlight the image of movie actresses in view of the recently concluded centennial of feminism in the Philippines," said festival director Nick Deocampo.

The tribute however went beyond the female leads. In her speech, Susan Roces extended the accolade to the film producers of her time, "While we pay tribute to the actresses, we shouldn’t also forget that the leading producers of our period are also women— Dona Dolores Vera of Sampaguita Pictures, Dona Sisang de Leon of LVN, and Dona Adela Santiago of Premiere Productions."

Some of the actresses whose films are being exhibited in the festival are: Edna Luna ("Dyesebel"), Daisy H. Avellana and Naty Crame Rogers ("Portrait of the Filipino as an Artist"), Anita Linda ("Sisa"), Rosa Rosal ("Anak Dalita"), Gloria Romero ("Pinagbuklod ng Langit"), Lilia Dizon ("Sanda Wong"), Susan Roces ("Gumising Ka Maruja"), Amalia Fuentes ("Aguila"), Nida Blanca ("Waray-Waray"), Rita Gomez ("Pagdating sa Dulo"), Gina Pareno ("Working Girls"), Gloria Sevilla ("Badlis sa Kinabuhi"), Nora Aunor ("Tatlong Taong Walang Diyos"), Vilma Santos ("Relasyon"), Mona Lisa and Hilda Koronel ("Insiang") Amy Austria ("Brutal"), Gina Alajar ("Orapronobis"), Sharon Cuneta ("Bituing Walang Ningning"), Maricel Soriano ("Hinugot sa Langit") and Judy Ann Santos ("Sabel").

HINDI lang ABS-CBN ang kumikilala sa pagiging bagong reyna ng pelikula at television ni Judy Ann Santos. Buong industriya ang umaamin na angat si Judy Ann Santos sa lahat ng mga kasabayan niya.

Kung sinabi ni Direk Trina Dayrit ng Sa Piling Mo na "Judy Ann Santos and Piolo Pascual transcends all other loveteams in the past 'til now," at ang ABS-CBN naman ay ipinapangalandakan sa kanilang TV plugs na siya na nga ang "telenovela queen" o "soap opera queen," ang industriya naman, sa pamamagitan ng Mowelfund, ay nagkumpirma na siya nga ang nag-iisang "superstar" sa telebisyon ngayon.

Kahapong Biyernes (March 10) 9 p.m. ay ipinalabas ulit, sa pamamagitan ng Mowelfund, ang nagbigay kay Judy Ann ng una niyang Best Actress award mula sa pinakaprestihiyosong award-giving body sa bansa ngayon, ang Urian.

Sa Gateway mall sa Araneta Center Cubao, Quezon City napanood ulit sa pilak na telon ang Sabel sa direksyon ni Joel Lamangan.

Ang pagpapalabas ulit ng mga natatanging pelikula ng mga "reyna" ng pinilakang tabing ay isang proyekto ng Mowelfund. At nakasama nga si Juday sa mga "reyna" the likes of Vilma Santos and Nora Aunor.

Kaya may karapatan talaga si Alfie Lorenzo na tawagin na Young Super-Mega-Diamond-Star-For-All-Seasons si Judy Ann.

THERE was a time when feminists complained about the representation of women on the big screen. Either one was pictured as a martyr or a vamp, a virgin or a w h o r e. True enough, once when I got involved in a book project that assessed Filipino films of the 1980s, we found out—in the course of gathering the synopses of the films of that decade—that some 70 to 80 percent of the topics centered on the FPJ-inspired vendettas after an earlier massacre of one’s own family or of the whole community, and of village damsels in distress running away from home to escape from the clutches of lecherous stepfathers or uncles or hometown suitors only to end up in the big city as disgraced prostitutes.

The images were worldwide; in fact, it was a Western feminist film critic who first pointed an accusing finger at the patriarchal male gaze of directors and producers as well as of male moviegoers as responsible for placing the female actor stripped of her clothes as an object of desire, and the character that she portrayed as a martyr of the hearth. That was a subconscious masculine desire and design brought out onto surface consciousness and naturally, things were bound to change as years passed, somehow. Now, women are showing more strength in disposition and will; now they are flexing some muscles.

The local big screen is no different, if we were to watch the romantic dramas and comedies of mainstream cinema, notably those coming from the foremost movie outfit Star Cinema. I wish to focus on several of its films in the initial years of the new millennium and the stars that appeared in them, notably Kailangan Kita (2002), Milan (2004), You Are The One (2006), You Got Me (2007), and Kasal, Kasali, Kasalo (2006). For some reinforcement, let’s also include Regal Entertainment’s Sabel (2004), remotely a genre film, however, since it may be more properly classified as a private, visionary film.

*snipped*

Judy Ann Santos, who incidentally is celebrating her 20th year in the business, has her share of strong women film characters. A pragmatic, strong-willed advertising executive in Don’t Give Up On Us, romantic love takes a back seat even with a gorgeous and assiduous lover boy like Piolo Pascual who portrayed a more artistically inclined free spirit. In the Metro Manila Film Festival blockbuster Kasal, Kasali, Kasalo, Juday certainly was no pushover wife to Ryan Agoncillo.

Earlier, she portrayed what could probably be considered the turning point of her career in Regal Films’ Sabel, as Vilma Santos did in Burlesk Queen. There Judy Ann’s character refused to play the traditional gender role assigned to women. There, too, in fact, she was freely expressive of her sexuality, and forever exploring as she continues to pursue her own individuation as a woman and her own person, from being a religious in prison ministry who “willfully cooperated” with the success of her rape by an inmate, to being a prime suspect herself in the murder of a real-estate-development lawyer who had violated her lesbian spouse. Quite a milestone indeed for an actress whose star persona had earlier been sweet, conservative and traditional.

Juday, Claudine and Toni, to a certain extent, had been built up as stars in the usual leading-lady mold—sweet and nice, proper and demure, conservative and traditional. But their handlers and the stars themselves had found it wise not to sustain such an image in keeping with the times. Leave the syrupy and lady-like images to the Tita Durans, Gloria Romeros and Susan Roceses of the past for, after all, even Susan Roces had been caught lambasting a President of the Republic on national television and had taken to the streets! The portrayal of the young actresses of roles that are a far cry from the api-apihan pubescent in television soap operas somehow signify a paradigm shift.

share ko lang from Top 7 Great Actresses thread...

I finally saw the film and I will gauge it as a representative sample of the artistic work of Judy Ann Santos.

The film:
In its entirety, the film can be said as one attempt to create a remarkable film but fell short of its promises. The blame should lie squarely on the script that is full of loopholes. This is one work of Ricky Lee that is really butas-butas na puwede mong atakehin in almost all sides. And as a director, how could Joel Lamangan rescue it kung ang script nga ay butas-butas. Voila, ang resulta ay isang pelikula na puno ng ambisyon pero ang kinalabasan ay isang mediocre film na puwede mong kalimutan one day after you saw it.

Ano ba ang problema ng Sabel? Well, it is all about an attempt by the scriptwriter to create a very complex character na hindi niya naman kayang suportahan ng valid claims and scenarios ang monster na gusto niyang likhain. Sa isip ni Lee si Sabel ay isang taong mabait pero demonyita, wagas at malinis pero malibog, straight pero lesbian, at kung anu-ano pang paradox. With this premise, he created scenarios of contradictory claims based on different accounts of various people who know/knew Sabel. In the end, hindi naman kayang suportahan ni Lee ang mga contradictory claims na ito and in the end, hindi mo nga alam kung sino ang tunay na Sabel.

It should be recalled that Lee was the same person who penned Salome (directed by Laurice Guillen, starring Gina Alajar). Nagtagumpay si Lee sa paglikha ng isang babaeng may-asawa na nakapatay ng isang lalake. Sa una, sabi ni Salome ay gusto siyang gahasain ng lalake kaya niya ito pinatay. Sa isang scenario naman ay ibang Salome naman ang ikinukuwento ng kanyang asawa. Sa ikatlong parte naman ay ipinakita na si Salome pala ay isang malibog na babae na pinatay si lalake dahil gusto na nitong hiwalayan ang huli. Matagumpay ang Salome dahil ang tinatalakay ay kung ano ang totoo kung bakit napatay (or pinatay) ni Salome ang lalakeng ito.

Ang kaibahan ng Sabel ay sangkatutak ang contradictions na gustong likhain ni Lee: na si Sabel ay mabait ngunit malditang anak, na si Sabel ay maka-Diyos (siya'y madre) pero hindi ito sincere at paraan niya lang ito para takasan ang isa pang demon sa katauhan niya, na si Sabel ay naaawa lang or totoong nagmamahal sa character ni Wendell Ramos, na si Sabel ay heterosexual (at malibog pa nga) pero iyon para ay homosexual (lesbian), na si Sabel ay may topak (one highlight in the film is when she said, 'Hindi ko alam ang gusto ko!') and capable of leaving her partner with no qualms whatsoever then iyon pala ay totoong minahal daw yung lalake niya. In the end, sino ba si Sabel? Ang sagot: ewan, pati ang scriptwriter hindi niya masagot till the very end. Kung hindi mo mainitindihan ang character, aber, ano ang simpatiya mo sa character na ito na pawang kathang-isip lang ni Ricky Lee.

As far as Lamangan is concerned, mahilig talaga siya sa mga grandiose na materials pero madalas ay kapos. Ang character ni Nora Aunor sa "Sidhi" ay punung-puno rin ng mga superlative sacrifices na sa huli ay hindi na naging credible dahil wala naman talagang ganoong tao. Ganoon din ang kaso ng complexity ng character ni Sabel. In short, pretentious ang 'Sabel'. Pero kung susumahin, ang buong pelikula ay kapos, kulang.

Meritorious works:
Sa technical area, magaling ang sound ng Sabel. Akmang-akma ang sound sa bawat eksenang nagbibigay ng account ang ibat-ibang tao sa personalidad ni Sabel. Mabilis ang pacing and there is no boring moment dahil magaling ang film editing. Mahusay ang cinematography.

Sa acting department, ang pinakamahusay sa pelikula ay si Wendell Ramos. You really can sympathize on his character not just because he really acts well and with convictions but also because his character is polishly penned. This is my first time seeing this actor, and yes, magaling siya - no overacting, no underacting - suwabe lang talaga. The next praise should go to Sunshine Dizon, ang physician, lesbian lover ni Sabel. Maikling lang ang role ni Sunshine Dizon but she delivered a tour de force performance during her rape scene - ang galing! The third mention goes to Judy Ann Santos, who played the role of Sabel. Ayos lang siya, not outstanding pero not bulok.

Judy Ann Santos performance:
Kung hindi magaling si Juday sa Sabel, isa sa mga culprits ay ang butas-butas na script ni Ricky Lee. Hindi ko rin ma-dig kung bakit nanalo si Juday ng Urian best actress for this film over Nora Aunor in Naglalayag. Malabo talaga. Ang tangi ko lang na maisip ay sadya yatang may bias against Aunor dahil sa mga kapalpakang gawa nito nitong huli on her personal life that has nothing to do with the merit of her artistic performance. But what else is new about Urian. 1983 pa sila bulok. Hindi pa sila ang nagpapanalo sa bulok na performance ni Vilma Santos in Relasyon over Nora Aunor's performance in Himala. Blame it on anti-Aunor forces that are now in full force all over Urian.

Anyway, back to Juday. Magaling naman talaga si Juday. She shows pain, agony, longing and passion with conviction. Credible ang kanyang facial expressions and delivery of lines. No overacting. No hysteria. Tama lang. Kaya lang, sa parteng madre siya, masyadong relaxed and easy-go-lucky ang interpretation niya that she appeared not credible at all as a nun. Ang isa pang weakness sa Juday performance ay napakadali nitong umiyak, parang balde-baldeng luha ang umagos sa mukha niya that in the end, you'll ask, aling pagluha ba ni Sabel ang totoong luha, alin ang credible na luha? She reminds me of young Julie Vega and Janice de Belen na wala nang ginawa noon sa boobtube kundi ang umiyak sa AnnaLiza and Flordeluna.

Of course, when they say that Juday may probably follow the footsteps of Nora Aunor in acting greatness, I may probably agree with it. For one, she looks plain like Aunor, and I love that. Sa drama, usually kasi hindi credible ang mga mestiza. So that's one. The other is the depth and subtlety of her performance. Wala talagang hysteria and overacting sa Sabel and that is one shining attribute of Juday. Bravo!

Juday is the best in her generation and is destined to be one of the greatest actresses ever if she continues this way. She needs challenging roles, yes, but not from a butas-butas script like she had in Sabel.
