Directed by a young film-maker, Emerson Reyes, Telenobela
nina Juan at Luzviminda talks about how the Filipino people cries out for real
democracy in the country and why they are not yet ready.
The film is seems light at first glimpse, comic but at the
same time, a soft-awakener.
ORIGINAL. So far, this
is the first film that I have seen that has this concept: A man named Juan
(representing the Filipinos) married to a woman named Luzviminda (representing
the motherland) and asks her for a their first born— democracy .
DEVELOPMENT: The
story develops, even though at some point is seems as though it doesn’t. The exchange
of lines of the characters are interrelated. In the end, Luzviminda grants hope
to Juan that democracy will be granted when he is ready.
What I personally like about it most is that it attacks the awareness
of the audience in a way that the audience must have to think beyond the words
spoken by the characters and read between the lines. One must have to think the
symbolisms used over to get a clearer picture of what it really tries to tell
the audience.
