The Act of Killing by Joshua Oppenheimer

This documentary about killers, their actions fifty years ago and the impunity they have enjoyed ever since has been almost universally acclaimed: it was nominated for an Academy Award in 2014 and has won more than 70 international awards including a BAFTA (2014) and a European Film Award (2013). The Act of Killing lets the killers explain their actions in an unusual way. Director Joshua Oppenheimer takes viewers on an unsettling journey through the history and psychology of men who killed without justice or remorse, who not only prospered from their deeds, but remain in power to this day. One of the more excruciating recurring motifs here is the sight of present-day civilians doing their best real-life acting whenever these gangsters are around. Indonesia may have returned to a semblance of democracy after strong man Suharto's resignation in 1998, but the murderers still control politicians and business leaders. Between camera setups on the historical film, Congo's neighbor Suryono shares a story about watching the death squads abduct his communist stepfather. Quick to reassure the gangsters that "I'm not criticizing what we're doing," he describes finding his stepfather's body under an oil barrel the next day. The act of killing shows the weirdest ways on how civilians get killed. This film depicts a global story, this is not only the story of Indonesia but the story of the citizens around the world.

MAYNILA SA KUKO NG MGA LIWANAG

    One of the greatest works of Philippine cinema, Maynila sa mga Kuko ng Liwanag The story is straightforward enough—Julio (Bembol Roco), a young man from Marinduque, travels to Manila in search of his lover, Ligaya (Hilda Koronel), who has been scammed into prostitution. Knowing that the Philippines had 24.4 million in debt. The film moves to the alternating beats created by its characters' hopes and their miseries, by their talk of a different kind of future and the crushing reality of their present circumstances. Make no mistake, “Maynila” is no walk in the park – this is a heavy story to take on the best of days, with sex (of all kinds) and violence playing vital parts in the narrative, and those expecting a fairy tale resolution would be better served watching something else. But therein lies Brocka’s main conceit in trusting that the audience viewing his films would have the intelligence and tolerance levels necessary to accept that his films, like life, didn’t always end on the best of terms.

          The cinematography captures the real story of this film, the real life poverty of the filipinos, the prostitution, the enraged people. This film would not come out beautifully with its cinematics. The film's inclusion in the list of the world's greatest films shouldn't come as a surprise given that the people involved behind the camera are among the most influential Filipino filmmakers in the industry.  Mike de Leon produced the film through his Cinema Artists Philippines outfit and was also the cinematographer. The script was written by professor Clodualdo “Doy” Del Mundo Jr., who adapted the story from the novel in Tagalog by Edgardo M. Reyes. Before it was published in book form, Reyes wrote it as a series from 1966 to 1967 for Liwayway, a weekly magazine in Filipino.

Six Degrees of Separation from Lilia Cuntapay

SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION FROM LILA CUNTAPAY

             This film by Antoinette Jadaone is about a veteran extra , Lilia Cuntapay who was starred extra in Filipino Horror Films. This film showed the life of Lilia Cuntapay who worked very hard for her roles as an extra. Many people recognized her and seen her passion in acting. Lilia Cuntapay is not like any other actor. She’s smart, witty and friendly. I loved how she was so driven to make a speech for the award that she was nominated for, even if she did not win. It just means that Lilia work really hard for everything she wanted to have. 

          Six Degrees of Separation from Lilia Cuntapay is another proof that many recognize her. And with Lilia Cuntapay’s passing, the film had some benefit screenings at Cinema 76 last August 25 – 28, 2016.

     For me, the best thing in Lilia Cuntapay's story is what happened after this film. She won her first acting award for this mockumentary, received new acting projects, and was introduced to a younger generation through a popular TV series ('Forevermore'). While she spent the final days of her life seeking medical and financial assistance, I'd like to believe that she died remaining committed to an industry that finally returned her love and recognized her legacy.

     Besides than that, her poverty and lack of recognitions  were questionable. At the start of the film, Direk Antoinette Jadaone asked random strangers and celebrities who worked with Lilia. Some of them don’t know Lilia, some of them weren’t sure who Lilia was, so on and so forth.

       The used of camera angles were purposely awkward that satirizes the whole film, and for it to be funnier. The cinematography was purposely for the feel of the movie, it showed the house of Lilia which was at the squatter’s area which was very realistically implied, especially to us Filipinos.

       Lilia Cuntapay proved that she could also be a lead actress, and she was more than an extra in a horror movie film. It broke my heart to see her still at that position in her life where she was financially unstable, but she was working very hard to get there someday. It just showed how hard it is to be in the acting industry. Most of the time they only pay you half as much as the other actors, and most of the time don’t even get recognition.

       The last part was a very heartbreaking, realistic scene where she did not win the AFTAP award, and I could feel her embarrassment. Lilia Cuntapay worked so hard for her speech to be the best speech she could possibly ever say in an award show and she did not win. It was a brilliant film, because I did not have many expectations in this film. This film surprised me, made me laugh and cry. If I could rewatch this, I definitely would. This film also showed that not  all people who work hard in the industry get paid, and treated equally. This is heartbreaking.

    The emotions of the actress and her ‘neighbors’ were real, I could feel as if I was just sitting with them everytime. It’s a good film because, it inspired me that even a woman who was hired so many times by the star business worked very hard and proved that she was different from all the other extras. The film was realistic, and implicit. It talked about a literal meaning that Lilia Cuntapay was a hard-working supporting actress. Lilia Cuntapay was one hell of an icon in the film industry.
