"Kagandahan, katotohanan ang panlaban ko sa mundo."

— "Ang Larawan" (2017)

My rough translation: Beauty and truth are my weapons in this world.

between hill house and ang larawan, 2017 was a really bad year for gothic adaptations. not gothic enough or not focused on women’s strain against patriarchal expectations enough.

#ang larawan #the haunting of hill house #and keyword is adaptation. you cant call yourself an adaptation and be defensive about being compared to the original story #which in this case. has virtually no resemblance and has opposite themes

not sure if i mentioned this before, but one of my electives this term is a film class! my prof often lets us watch films during class, and earlier this week he showed us Ang Larawan (The Portrait)! This one is up for free so it's accessible to non-PH peeps!

the film is adapted off the locally famous play A Portait of the Artist as Filipino, and takes place months before WWII comes to the Philippines. the two main characters live in an ancestral home in what used to be the central city of the philippines, where they try to take care of their aged father amidst loss of funds, peckish neighbors, and enthralled academics looking to catch a glimpse of the father's magnum opus - a self portrait.

as may be apparent, this film is a little bit of a history lesson, a little bit of a look into the problems that still persist in the country today (particularly with ancestral houses and families not being able to cope with it. hahahah). this is conveyed in a really interesting way, given that the film is actually a musical! while my friends and i laughed a bit because almost all of the dialogue is sung, i'm glad that the actors really sold it well too, and that the writing was really tight.

other than that, the set design (tho mostly taking place in one house) and the costuming are so great. in terms of and choreography cinematography too, the film has really impactful compositions and placement of elements!

while i think that the subtitles don't do the dialogue justice, i do hope that whoever decides to watch this will enjoy!

#bleats #ang larawan #musicals #ngl this film feels like it was made for me #i don't know a lot of musicals but i have dipped my toes into it a bit with the malloysicals #anything about old manila is also one of my genuine interests which this film just feeds into #to share a bit of ideas for eo and cr #i always felt like our ancestral cities could serve as inspiration for armoroad / hollyberry kingdom #my drawing of gutrune (while v undetailed oogh) is supposed to kind of allude to that #and i always thought of flowdia having those big ternos worn by the older neighbors #the thought of eva and micah having a big ancestral home in armoroad appeals to me too #like the clutter of both brothers flooding out of the room and into the hallways #though the ending of the film isn't really _sad_ sad #a part of me was reminded of the great comet and its closure oooh #and i almost cried during class #that's another recommendation from me! great comet! really good 10/10 cried #oki i go back to my cave now #thankyuberimuch #Youtube

Jun 27: The Artist’s Eye

Is there a painting or sculpture you’re drawn to? What does it say to you? Describe the experience. (Or, if art doesn’t speak to you, tell us why.) I can only think of this. I was totally fangirling when I saw this at Pinto Museum. I love the movie-musical, “Ang Larawan” and I also watched the play when I was either in grade school or high school as part of a school trip. The painting “The…
