At ginawa at ipinalabas lamang ang mga ito sa nakalipas na dalawang taon. Sa yugtong ito ng UK cinema, mistulang <span> </span>inaatake ng nostalgia ang bagong henerasyon ng English filmmakers. Sa paglaganap ng pelikulang Hollywood maging sa mga lokal na sinehan sa Inglatera, hindi katakatakang nagbaliktanaw ang mga batang filmmaker sa dekada 80 bilang panahong kanilang kinagisnan.</span><span id="more-135"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Pinakamatingkad na katangian ng Inglatera noong dekada 80 ay ang laganap na kahirapan bunsod ng kawalan ng trabaho sa ilalim ng panunungkulan ng konserbatibong si Margaret Thatcher. At katulad ngayon, ang tropang Ingles ay sumabak noon sa isang gera, ang Falklands War. Tulad ng pagiging di popular na pagsali ng UK sa Iraq War, marami sa mamamayan ng England ang di pabor sa pagdedeklara ng gera ng Britanya laban sa Argentina para igiit ang karapatan nito sa Falklands. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Lumawak ang hanay ng mga uring manggagawang walang trabaho bunsod na rin ng maling prayoridad ng gubyernong Thatcher. <span> </span>Nagresulta ang ngayo’y tinaguriang Thatcherism sa malawak na pagkadiskontento ng mga mamamayan. Sa ganitong panahon umusbong ang iba’t ibang subkultura sa England gaya ng mods at skinheads. Gayung may hibo ang ilan sa mga subkulturang ito ng subersyon at pagiging progresibo, ang polarisasyon sa mga mamayan ay nagbigay din ng pagkakataon para lumaganap ang mga grupong ultra-nasyunalistiko, pasista at neo-Nazi.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Ito marahil ang dahilan kung bakit ilan sa mga bagong dugo ng UK Cinema ay nagbabaliktanaw sa 80s England bilang mayamang inspirasyon para sa kani-kanilang mga gawa. Makikita sa bawat pelikula ang mga tema ng <i>isolation, </i>kawalang-pag-asa, depresyon, desperasyon<span>  </span>at, sa kabilang banda, ang <span> </span>pagpupunyagi sa <span> </span>ng kawalang pag-asa. Pinagyayaman din ang bawat pelikula ng <i>distinct</i> na musika ng 80s England.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>&#8212;</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;" class="MsoNormal"><span>4) <span> </span><b>Starter for 10</b> (2006)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_lQVFfyLu1dQ/R9039AyjOlI/AAAAAAAAAGs/ZL_tZ1yHDOE/s1600-h/sft.jpg"><img src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_lQVFfyLu1dQ/R9039AyjOlI/AAAAAAAAAGs/ZL_tZ1yHDOE/s320/sft.jpg" style="display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;margin:0 auto 10px;" border="0" /></a><span>Bagamat nasa tradisyunal na pormula ng romantic-comedy, dinala ng first time director na si Tom Vaughan ang mga manonood sa isang nostalgia trip gamit ang musika ng 80s. Tampok sa pelikula ang pangunahing tauhang si Brian (James McAvoy, Atonement),<span>  </span>na bagamat galing sa uring manggagawa, ay determinadong makapagtapos sa isang unibersidad at matupad ang pangarap ng kanyang ama na mapasali siya sa isang popular na quiz show. At tulad ng tradisyunal na rom-com,<span>  </span>tampok sa pelikula ang pagkalito ni Brian kung sino ang iibigin sa pagitan ng nakaaalwang teammate na si Alice at ng aktibistang si Rebecca.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;" class="MsoNormal"><span>3) <span> </span><b>Control </b>(2007)<br />
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_lQVFfyLu1dQ/R903FAyjOkI/AAAAAAAAAGk/PiysIne8AIE/s1600-h/control_film.jpg"><img src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_lQVFfyLu1dQ/R903FAyjOkI/AAAAAAAAAGk/PiysIne8AIE/s320/control_film.jpg" style="display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;margin:0 auto 10px;" border="0" /></a><span>Pinili ng tanyag na MTV director at videographer na si Anton Corbijn ang talambuhay ni Ian Curtis, <span> </span>nagpakamatay na bokalista ng bandang Joy Division, bilang unang pelikula niya. Sa paggamit ng black and white na sinematograpiya, nagawang ni Corbijn na ipako ang pokus ng manonood sa ligalig na kinasasadlakan ni Curtis (na magaling na ginampanan ng baguhang aktor na si Sam Riley) sa gitna ng biglang kasikatan at gumuguhong relasyon sa kanyang asawa (Samantha Morton).Tila elektrisidad na pinakawalan ni Riley ang kanyang rendisyon ng mga kantang pinasikat ng Joy Division na lalong nagpatingkad ng atmospera ng England sa unang bahagi ng dekada 80.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;" class="MsoNormal"><span>2) <span> </span><b>The History Boys </b>(2006)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_lQVFfyLu1dQ/R905UAyjOmI/AAAAAAAAAG0/rQhSzocmKkY/s1600-h/history+boys.jpg"><img src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_lQVFfyLu1dQ/R905UAyjOmI/AAAAAAAAAG0/rQhSzocmKkY/s320/history+boys.jpg" style="display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;margin:0 auto 10px;" border="0" /></a><span>Tungkol ang The History Boys, ang patok na dula ni Alan Bennett, sa pagpupunyagi ng isang grupo ng mga matatalinong estudyante mula sa isang grammar school sa Sheffield, England na makapasok sa mga prestihiyosong unibersidad sa Oxford at Cambridge sa tulong ng kanilang mga dalubhasang guro sa general studies at history. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Sa pagiging diverse ng grupo, naipakita nina Bennett at Nicholas Hytner ang demograpiya ng lipunan sa England noong 1980. Umupa ang headmaster ng isang baguhang guro para kinisin ang kakayahan ng mga mag-aaral. Ipinakita sa magkasalungat na pamamaraan ng paghahasa at pagtuturo ang banggaan ng makaluma at makabagong kaisipan sa Inglatera sa dekada 80 kung kalian malaganap na ang halina ng kaisipang postmoderno.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;" class="MsoNormal"><span>1) <span> </span><b>This is England (</b>2007)<br />
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_lQVFfyLu1dQ/R905wgyjOnI/AAAAAAAAAG8/1Z3tHLIfRa4/s1600-h/this-is-england.jpg"><img src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_lQVFfyLu1dQ/R905wgyjOnI/AAAAAAAAAG8/1Z3tHLIfRa4/s320/this-is-england.jpg" style="display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;margin:0 auto 10px;" border="0" /></a><span>Matagumpay na naisalarawan ni Shane Meadows ang hitsura ng 1980s England sa perspektibo ng 12-year-old na si Shaun (Thomas Turgoose). Matapos maulila sa amang namatay sa Falklands War, nakahanap ng pagtanggap si Shaun isang grupo ng mga skinheads. Unit-unting lumubog at namulat si Shaun sa kultura ng mga skinheads at sa reyalidad ng lumalaganap na ultra-nasyunalismo sa gitna ng krisis pang-ekonomya sa bansa. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Epektibong naipakita ni Meadows, gamit ang isang coming of age film, ang ugat ng rasismo at pasismo sa panahong ang Inglatera ay nasa gitna ng gerang agresyon laban sa Argentina. Pinagyaman pa ang pelikula ni Meadows di lamang ng paggamit ng angkop na musika ngunit maging ng mga documentary clippings ng mga kaganapan sa England at sa Falklands upang maisakonteksto ang kwento ni Shaun at ng kanyang mga kaibigan. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Itinanghal ang This is England na Best British Film ng Bafta (katumbas ng Oscars sa UK) para sa taong ito.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>galing kay eleyn ang post sa ibaba, rebyu ng dokyumentaryong Fidel! (brightightsfilm.com)</p>
<p>kay tagal na hinintay ng US ang pagkakataong ito. ilang beses na ring pinagtangkaan ng US/CIA ang buhay ni castro. sa kanyang pagreretiro, hindi raw siya namamaalam at manaatiling mabangis na kritiko ng imperyalismong US.<span style="font-weight:bold;"></span><span style="font-size:85%;"><b></b></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://www.brightlightsfilm.com/39/39_images/fidelhead2.jpg" alt="papa fidel" border="0" height="326" hspace="0" vspace="0" width="266" /></p>
<p class="teaser">Estela Bravo&#8217;s documentary offers an affectionate,<br />
in-depth portrait            of the enduring world leader<br />
who stood up to the U.S.</p>
<p class="byline">By <a href="http://www.brightlightsfilm.com/bealy.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Joanne Bealy</a></p>
<p class="body">Over the course of the last 40 years, the CIA has tried to murder Fidel              Castro with such frat boy antics as exploding cigars, poison pens, and              arsenic-laced milkshakes.<span id="more-131"></span></p>
<p class="body">Jesse Helms, North Carolina&#8217;s controversial, right-wing senator and              co-sponsor of the Helms-Burton law that codified the U.S. embargo against              Cuba, told Congress he didn&#8217;t care whether Fidel Castro left Cuba vertically              or horizontally. &#8220;Let me be clear,&#8221; he shouted, &#8220;he <i>will</i> leave.&#8221;</p>
<p class="body">With Helms retiring early in 2003 and Castro still unvanquished, it              seems Jesse spoke prematurely. But what <i>is</i> this psychotic obsession              the United States has with Fidel Castro? And why do we insist on demonizing              the man hailed elsewhere as hero?</p>
<p class="caption" align="center"><img src="http://www.brightlightsfilm.com/39/39_images/fidel1color.jpg" height="269" vspace="3" width="277" /><br />
Addressing the United Nations</p>
<p class="body">Estela Bravo&#8217;s new film puts it all in perspective. Born in New York              nearly 70 years ago and resident of Cuba since 1963, Bravo is a self-taught              director of 30 documentary films, many about Cuba. Her latest film,              <b>Fidel</b>, was commissioned by Channel 4 in Britain, won the Distinguished              Achievement for Excellence in Documentary Filmmaking from the Urbanworld              Film Festival in New York, and played the Toronto International Film              Festival to sold-out crowds despite the fact that it opened three days              after the September 11 attack on New York and Washington. It has played              in arthouses and repertory cinemas throughout the U.S.</p>
<p class="body">After previewing the film, I have only one piece of advice: see it.              Really. It makes no difference whether you&#8217;re for or against Castro,              Estela Bravo presents us with a piece of history that we owe it to ourselves              to see. <b>Fidel</b> is the definitive word to date on Castro.</p>
<p class="body">&#8220;I would call this the untold story,&#8221; Bravo said in a recent telephone              interview from New York. &#8220;As a close observer of the revolution and              the man, I knew it was necessary to tell the story, especially given              what&#8217;s being said in the United States.&#8221;</p>
<p class="body"><b>Fidel</b> covers 40 years of the Cuban revolution and is unprecedented              in providing its viewers with an understanding of Cuba and its leader.              Ms. Bravo uses exclusive archival footage and a remarkable mix of interviews              with Fidel. She includes such luminaries as Harry Belafonte, Aleida              Guevera (Che&#8217;s daughter), Alice Walker, Ramsey Clark, Sydney Pollack,              Angela Davis and longtime friend of Castro, Nobel Prize-winning writer              Gabriel Garcia Marquez. We hear from journalists, both in Miami and              Cuba, guerrillas who fought in the revolution, politicians, writers,              musicians, scientists, old teachers, family and friends. There are priceless              and touching exchanges between Nelson Mandela and Fidel Castro. Alice              Walker, as only Alice Walker can, talks about her great admiration for              the man then breaks off, puzzling over the fact that she&#8217;s heard he              can&#8217;t dance.</p>

With friend Gabriel Garcia Marquez</p>
<p class="body">Philip Agee, former CIA agent, lends credence to the often summarily              dismissed assassination stories. They began, according to Agee, with              the most renowned of those attempts, the 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion in              which President John F. Kennedy sent 1,400 Cuban expatriates onto Cuba&#8217;s              shores. When Castro squelched the attack within 72 hours, what had been              an overt war against the country became a covert war against Fidel.</p>

(sampung pelikula ng pag-ibig at pagpapakasakit sa linggo ng mga puso)</p>
<p>Pagbilang mo ng sampu, hubad na ang mga hanger sa nakabukas na cabinet. Nauna nang kumaripas ang anino palabas ng ibinagsak na pinto. At ang langitngit ng kalawanging gate ang tumapos sa usapan. At ikaw? Iniwan kang nagmumukmok ng kasawian sa iyong kwarto. “Not again,” sambit mo sa sarili. Sinu ba kasing nagsabi na ang pag-ibig na wagas ay katubusan sa mga nanampalataya dito? Pag-ibig ang marahang dampi ng balahibo sa pisngi. Ngunit pag-ibig din ang labahang susugat sa iyong leeg.</p>
<p>At bilang pakonsolasyon, nagluto ka ng paborito mong pasta. Nilabas mo ang pinakamahal na alak mula sa pantry. Sumalampak ka sa sopa. Inabot ang remote. Humarap sa telebisyon, at humanap ng karamay at kasalo sa pighati at kasawian sa mga tauhan ng masikip, mumunti at kwadrado mong mundo.<span id="more-129"></span></p>

Walang      lenggwaheng katulad ng pag-ibig ang higit na nauunawaan ng bawat lahi sa      mundo.

<span style="font-style:italic;">-Dylan Thomas, Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night</span></div>
<p>kina Sir Nick at Sir Rene, maraming salamat.<span id="more-126"></span></p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>Tatlong Tula ni Monico Atienza</p>
<p>KAIBIGAN XIV</p>
<p>Bawat salita’t panalita<br />
ay may teorya, maiteteorya;<br />
maipaliliwanag, malilinaw,<br />
ibig sabihin.<br />
Pagtulang biseral o serebral,<br />
meron din; di nakakaiwas<br />
pati paglulubid ng buhangin.<br />
Pagkapayaso ko’t tangkang tulain<br />
sa silong teorya’y salikop din;<br />
kundi nga, di na ta konsistent.<br />
Salita’t panalitang nakararami,<br />
di dapat pigilin dapat alamin;<br />
mapaglimi, usisain.<br />
Sila ma’y may sasabihin,<br />
sinabi na nga—maging<br />
ang pinakamunti, pinakamangmang.</p>
<p>Pigilin ang teorya’t pinatay mo sila.</p>
<p>29.VII.93</p>
<p>KAIBIGAN XV</p>
<p>May salita ang maliit at mangmang,<br />
di lamang sa DESIDERATA—<br />
sa totoo at lipunan man,<br />
maniwala ka Kaibigan.</p>
<p>Mas madalas ay may puntirya,<br />
nakaangklang kamalayan,<br />
minumunti man, minamangmang.</p>
<p>May teorya nga’t pagteteoryang<br />
tuntunga’y riyalidad,<br />
bumabago at nagbabago<br />
sa praktika ng buhay,<br />
produksyon at pakikitalad;<br />
di nga pormal dahil di akademiko,<br />
di “panlibro” dahil panalita.<br />
Ng kontekstong karanasang<br />
sapupunan ng pagwika.</p>
<p>Ang sa aki’y panagimpan,<br />
sa payasong paninimbang—<br />
pagpilosopo ng mangmang.</p>
<p>29.VII.93</p>
<p>KAIBIGAN XXIX</p>
<p>Batas-buhay ang sigalot,<br />
mula maliit tungong malaki<br />
ng daigdig at lipunan:<br />
wika mo nga kay Ibarra—<br />
may nais ding pagbabago,<br />
sistemang walang galit<br />
bawat isa’y nasisiyahan;<br />
Iyong mawiwika: ng langit sa lupa.</p>
<p>Di nagbait ang lipunan,<br />
walang patid ang pagtugis<br />
sa repormang ninanais.<br />
hanggang dulo kung magngalit;<br />
Walang pintong di pininid,<br />
mga sinta’y pinagsakit;<br />
hinati ang mga ina<br />
mga ama’y pinipilan;<br />
Kalupaa’y di naglangit<br />
sa susog ng panaginip;<br />
paghahari’y nagpatuloy.</p>
<p>Kalaguyo ang sigalot.</p>

<p>Tagulaylay ng Republika<br />
(Sa SONA 2006)<br />
Rene O. Villanueva</p>
<p>Bawat singasing ay lagim ang hatid ng motorsiklo –<br />
Bawat sibad: luksang-lambong sa dinahas na panimdim!<br />
Bawat ungol ng makina ay halakhak ng salarin<br />
Ng estadong kumukutya sa konsensiyang tumututol<br />
Sa kawalang katarungan, kalayaang isinangla.<br />
Itong baya’y walang habas, walang awa kung gahisin!<br />
Ayy!<br />
Ilang buhay pa ang dapat ibuwis ng mamamayan?<br />
Ilang hibla ng hininga ang dagliang puputulin?<br />
Ilang murang pangarap pa’ng papaslangin nang pataksil?<br />
Ilang dugo ang dadanak? Ilang ulit kukutyain<br />
Ang daing ng abang bayang walang awa kung paslangin?<br />
Ayy! Ayy!<br />
Bawat haginit ng punglo’y malupit na kamatayan;<br />
Bawat sibad na palayo, nakatakas na kriminal;<br />
Bawat taksil na harurot – pagtakas ng motorsiklo;<br />
Bagong utang nitong buktot na gobyerno ni Arroyo!<br />
Panibagong kasalanan sa lugaming taong-bayan,<br />
H’wag na h’wag lilimutin: Magbabayad ang may utang!<br />
AY! AY! AY!<br />
Pahirin na ang panimdim: dalamhati ay tiklupin.<br />
Di luha ang magbabangon sa pinaslang nang pataksil.<br />
Hindi panimdim ang tugon ng nabalo’t naulila –<br />
Kundi suklam, galit, poot: nagpupuyos, maniningil.<br />
Lahat tayo ay tumindig at marilag na usigin;<br />
Buktot-taksil, pagbayarin! Araw na ng paniningil!<br />
Ay! Ay! Ay! Ayy!</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="huge" style="font-size:100%;">- Che Guevara</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:100%;"> <br /><a href="http://haligingasin.blogspot.com/2006/12/ultimate-survivor.html">Magpapasko rin noong nakaraang taon</a> nang humahangos kaming <a href="http://wrongbee.blogspot.com/2006/12/sir-nick.html">sumugod ni B</a> sa PGH para dalawin siya. Kahahatid pa lang ng ambulansya kay Sir Nick galing sa unang ospital na pinagdalhan sa kanya. Hindi pa siya naaadmit sa ospital kaya hindi pa siya nakakabitan ng aparato. Salit-salit ang mga dumalaw sa kanyang unyonista, guro at estudyante sa pagbomba ng hangin sa kanyang baga para makatulong sa paghinga niya. Sa oras na iyon, kahit bisperas ng pasko, hindi ko magawang magsaya. Umuwi ako sa aming iniisip pa rin siya. Pakiramdam ko kasi hindi na magtatagal si Sir Nick. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:100%;">Pero lumipas ang mga araw, linggo at buwan, tila ba mahigpit pa rin ang kapit ni Sir Nick sa buhay. Tila ba itong huling laban niya ay hindi rin niya magawang isuko katulad ng marami pang laban na kanyang sinuong. Hindi siya yumukod sa gitna ng Sigwa ng Unang Kwarto. Hindi siya natinag ng diktadura ni Marcos. Hindi siya naigupo ng tortyur at pagkakakulong. Hindi siya napatumba ng ambush. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:100%;">Pero mahirap kalabanin ang panahon. Pero nagawa ni Sir Nick. Pero hanggang saan lang ba kayang ilaban ng mortal ang kanyang buhay? Lumisan siyang hindi isinusuko ang anumang laban. Hindi malilimot ang mga alaala, aral at labang iniwan ninyo sa amin.<br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:100%;">Salamat Sir Monico Atienza. Propesor. Manunulat. Aktibista. Rebolusyonaryo.<br /></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:100%;">&#8212;</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center;" align="center"><span style="font-size:100%;">He is not your kind of poet.<br />His language smells<br />of the elemental earth,<br />wind &amp; fire<br />&amp; harvest of fruit trees<br />by men &amp; women huddled<br />at the edge of the land<br />talking of the coming of the rain.<br />He knows the city<br />like the palm of his hands<br />but he wouldn’t text<br />of the dark alleys<br />&amp; the secret meetings<br />of angry hearts<br />who defy the state holocaust…<br />He doesn’t have to write his poems,<br />really.<br />He lives them anyway.<br />He is not your kind of poet. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center;" align="center"><span style="font-size:100%;">III</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center;" align="center"><span style="font-size:100%;">Too light is the crown<br />on the heads<br />of young bucks<br />who croon about their secret pains;<br />too cheap is the applause<br />of state lackeys that grates their ears;<br />&amp; too brittle<br />are the plaques that adorn their walls.<br />Poetry takes a long, long time.<br />Like life itself.<br />A neat lesson for those<br />who claim the title<br />so quickly, so easily.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center;" align="center"><span style="font-size:100%;">He has an eye for beauty,<br />of course<br />but he would quip about it<br />in a low voice<br />as if such were a difficult struggle…<br />He would laugh,<br />as though to rub an aching bone<br />of impossible desires.<br />Does he know the limits<br />of his passion?<br />But his persistence<br />to change the order of things<br />envelopes all.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center;" align="center"><span style="font-size:100%;"><br />He missed his father’s<br />death throes by a few hours.<br />But probably it was by some crazy design:<br />He sees him still very much alive<br />in his mind.<br />The illusion must persist.</span></p>

<p>sa loob ng 2 araw, tinapos kong panoorin ang <span style="font-style:italic;">infernal affairs </span>trilogy. swerteng nakakuha ako ng kopya sa community pirata sa highway (to boot, kasama pa sa 22 in 1 dvd ang <span style="font-style:italic;">the godfather trilogy, american history x, traffic </span>atbp., ansaya!). adapted sa istorya ng unang infernal affairs ang 2007 oscars best picture na <span style="font-style:italic;">the departed</span> (na kasama din sa nabili kong dvd). pero personal kong paborito ang infernal affairs 2 na prequel ng naunanng pelikula kahit na hindi it tumabo sa takilya at ng awards.</p>
<p>sa mga di pa nakakakapanood ng the departed, ang pelikula tungkol sa pagtatanim ng mga espiya ng mga puwersa ng kapulisan at triad sa grupo ng isa&#8217;t isa. higit akong nagandahan sa infernal;l afffairs kaysa the departed dahil sa mas malalaim nitong tinalakay ang saloobin ng mga tauahan at ang konsepto ng &#8220;inferno&#8221; o hell. ipinakita sa pelikula na walang tao conscious na nagnanais na malubog sa kumunoy ng impyerno. ngunit ang mga pinili nating panig ang nagtatakda ng lugar natin sa kasaysayan. naisip ni ming (andy lau) na sana siya na lang ang good cop (tony leung).</p>
<p>isa lang naman siguro ang puna ko sa infernal affairs series: sa huli,  denial ito ng katotohanang sistematiko at entrenched sa isang colonial gov&#8217;t (ipinakita pa nito ang hong kong handover nung 1997) na nagpapanatili subservience ng mga nasa gubyerno sa colonial masters. na iilan lang ang bugok sa pamahalaan at maari silang alisin. pero ang totoo ay systemic at systematic ang violenece and corruption sa pamahalaan sa isang kapitalistang lipunan (perfect example ang hk bilang isa sa mga tampok na globalization centers sa timog silangang asya).</p>
<p>malinaw ang tema ng pelikula, kapag tinahak mo ang landas patungong impyernmo, there&#8217;s no turning back. point of no return sabi nga ni carina lau. at literal ngang translation ng mandarin title ay &#8220;the non-stop path.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>katatapos ko lang manood ng <span style="font-style:italic;">babae sa breakwater</span>. malagim at nakaririmarim ang ipinintang hitsura ng maynila sa pelikulangito ni mario o&#8217;hara. hindi miminsan na inihalintulad sa impyerno ang kamaynilaan dahil sa lumalalang kahirapan, gayundin ang karahasang inihahasik sa kanayunan.</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>hindi man ako sang-ayon sa military take over, lehitimo ang panawagan nina trillanes at lim sa makati seige na naganap kanina. hindi matitigil ang mga agnitong uri ng pagkilos at sitwasyon hangga&#8217;t nakaluklok si gloria arroyo sa malakanyang. lalung lumalala ang mga ksalanan ni gloria habang tumatagal siya sa pusisyon at habang desperado niyang pinuprotektahan ito. long overdue na ang resignation.( putcha, naunahan ko pa siya.) matagal nang hinusgahan ng kasaysayan at ng taumbayan si arroyo.</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>silent night.</p>
<p>ipinatupad ni arroyo ang curfew sa gabing ito. higit pa lang mas madilim ang gabi kapag tahimik ito. hindi ako makatulog.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size:100%;"><a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_lQVFfyLu1dQ/R0W9pnfffkI/AAAAAAAAADk/kVEfvpbKc6w/s1600-h/FastFoodNation.jpg"><img style="display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;margin:0 auto 10px;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_lQVFfyLu1dQ/R0W9pnfffkI/AAAAAAAAADk/kVEfvpbKc6w/s320/FastFoodNation.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /></span>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:100%;">&#8230;eto siguro ang bersyon ng mga kritiko ng fast food industry ng slogan na “there’s blood in your coffee.”<br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:100%;">Bukod sa literal na pakahulugan ng “shit,” higit na nakaririmarim ang ibang napalalaman sa mga sandwich bukod sa hamburger patties. Illegal migrants, unfair labor practices, sexual harassment, corporate accountability, improper nutrition at iba pa ay ilan lamang sa mga isyung tinalakay ng pelikulang <i>Fast Food Nation </i><span> </span>ni Richard Linklater. Naging <span> </span>katuwang ni Linklater sa proyektong ito si Eric Schlosser, ang sumulat ng librong <i>Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal.</i><i><br /></i></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:100%;">Maraming nag-aakusa na dahil fictionalized ang pelikula, nalalabusaw daw ang talim at talas nang libro ni Schlosser. Pero hindi naman naging ganito ang tingin ko. Sa tingin ko, nabigyan ng pelikula (oopppsss, wala palang point of comparison kasi di ko pa nababasa ang libro) ng human (at animal) face ang mga isyung inilantad ni Schlosser sa libro.<br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:100%;">Naging malinaw sa akin kung bakit big deal ang usapin ng fast food industry hindi lang sa US, maging sa mga third world countries tulad ng Pilipinas. Ang industriyang ito, tulad ng iba pang industriya, ay manipestasyon ng krisis ng global capitalism. Tulad ng iba pang basic necessities ng tao, kapag nilangkapan ng kapitalismo at konsumerismo ang pagkain, higit itong nakasasama sa human race kaysa nakatutulong ito.<br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:100%;">Isa pang bagay na na nagustuhan ko sa pelikula ay ang recurring theme ni Linklater na suburban life. Tampok sa pelikula niyang subUrbia ang pagusbong ng komersyo sa suburban communities sa porma ng mga mall (parang marikina ito ah!) at fast food chain habang napag-iiwanan ang kalagayan mga mismong mamamayan ng komunidad. Ipinakikita ni Linklater ang animo’y “trapped” o walang patutunguhang mga buhay ng mga kabataan sa suburbia. Ito ang kakatwa sa isang “borderless world” at may ilusyon ng mobility dahil sa na rin sa pag-unlad ng teknolohiya. Mukhang usapin pa rin ng FOP (forces of production) at ROP (relations of production) ang kahahantungan<span>  </span>ng usaping ito.</p>
<p>Ngayon lang din ako nakapanood ng isang mainstream na pelikula na may call to action. Pinakita rin nito ang tila defeatism sa disorganisadong mga aksyon sa pagsusulong ng adbokasya. Bahagya ring pinahagingan ng pagkutya ng pelikula ang Patriot Act bilang represibo at di makatuwirang batas.<br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:100%;">Isa rin sa kinatuwa ko sa pelikula ay ang pagtatahi ng isyu ng human rights at animal rights. <span> </span>Madalas kasing pagbanggain ang mga isyung ito. Pero ang malinaw ay sa age ng late capitalism, dispensable ang rights ninuman, hayop man o tao, para sa ganansya at tubo.<br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:100%;">Tama nga ang catchphrase ng pelikula, “the truth is hard to swallow.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;"></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>mula sa blog ng isa sa mga pinakarerespeto kong tao, naks!. &#8216;pag ganitong usapin talaga, nakikita ang tunay na kulay ng mga tao, ang ubod, ika nga. naaala ko tuloy ang yung gasgas na metapora ng mga tibak sa keso de bola&#8211; pula sa labas, dilawan sa loob. pero siyempre, pana-panahon pa rin naman sumasapul si de quiros, huwag lang sa usaping  ideyolohiya at paraan kung paano babaguhin ang lipunang ito.</p>
<h5 class="itemtitle"><a href="http://pangkulitan.motime.com/post/677111">Injustice </a>(by kr guda)<br /></h5>
<p>De Quiros, in his <a target="_blank" href="http://opinion.inquirer.net/inquireropinion/columns/view_article.php?article_id=86236">new column</a>, joins the chorus of applause for the Dutch government’s arrest of Jose Maria Sison. He says this: “If it is true that Sison has committed these crimes—and there are witnesses aplenty, not the least of them the widows of the dead, to testify so—then his arrest is indeed a giant step toward peace, a victory for justice and the rule of law. Then there is indeed every reason, from the perspective of freedom, human rights, and all that democracy holds sacred, to be very excited about it.”</p>
<p>What’s wrong with this statement?</p>
<p>De Quiros apparently is not even sure that Sison commited the crimes – if they were indeed crimes – imputed upon him. My <a target="_blank" href="http://pangkulitan.motime.com/post/676759">previous entry</a> argues that the accusation goes against reason, and that people who only give credence to such accusations either: (1) dislike Sison and the national democratic movement, like De Quiros and the Inquirer; (2) or is politically-motivated to prosecute Sison, like the Dutch, US and Philippine governments.</p>
<p>How on earth can prosecuting Sison for really, really flimsy charges ever be a “giant step toward peace and the rule of law”? How can De Quiros conscientiously approve of the arrest when he is not even sure of Sison’s guilt?</p>
<p>The question that should be asked is: Given the military record of both Tabara and Kintanar, is the killing of Kintanar and Tabara a crime at all? As legitimate combatants (i.e. engaged in armed confrontations) in the civil war between the Philippine government and the CPP-NPA-NDFP, they should have very well known that they were legitimate targets by their enemies.</p>
<p>The problem with this state – whose ideological framework De Quiros embraces – is that when its armed agents kill enemy combatants (i.e. NPA, MILF, MNLF), there is no crime, only casualties. But when enemy combatants kill soldiers (i.e. killing of 12 Marines in Basilan, and killing of Kintanar and Tabara), they cry out to the heavens for justice, demanding and enforcing the arrest of those enemy combatants.</p>
<p>Joma is not even a combatant. Yes, he is the chief political consultant (not in quotation marks, as De Quiros so maliciously writes) of the NDFP, representing the revolutionary organizations, including the NPA, that are directly engaged in combat. But precisely because he is a consultant to a party to peace negotiations that we must make the distinction. This is precisely the rationale behind the Joint Safety and Immunity Guarantees that both the Philippine government and the NDFP signed: negotiators cannot be targetted in the armed conflict. They are there precisely to end the armed conflict.</p>
<p>Let us grant for a moment, though, that Joma, is indeed a combatant, and that he did order the killing of Kintanar and Tabara. If the widows of Kintanar and Tabara indeed feel that they have been wronged and that their spouses were unjustly killed by the NPA – who in turn declared they did so to punish them – the first thing that they should have done is to file a complaint in the Joint Monitoring Committee for the implementation of Carhrihl (Comprehensive Agreement for the Respect for Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law). This is the organ, composed of representatives of both the Philippine government and the NDFP, which monitors violations of the agreement signed by both parties declaring their respect for internationally-recognized human rights laws and standards.</p>
<p>Filing a complaint in either the Philippine or Dutch courts goes against the very spirit of this landmark agreement. The NDFP, which claims to have its own judicial system, does not recognize Philippine or Dutch laws. But it declares commitment to Carhrihl. How can the widows make the NDFP accountable under a system that the latter does not recognize? The right thing to do is to make the NDFP accountable under this agreement that it committed itself to.</p>
<p>This is precisely why the NDFP says arresting Joma virtually kills the peace talks. The Carhrihl was signed by both parties as a step towards eventual cessation of hostilities. In assisting in the arrest of Joma, the Philippine government flouts the agreement.</p>
<p>“Frankly, I don’t understand what people are doing marching in the streets, banging heads with fully shielded and truncheon-wielding cops, to protest Sison’s arrest,” writes De Quiros. But of course, the militants have every reason to march in the streets to protest the arrest. Joma is a patriot, someone who spent his entire life for a revolutionary cause. He is innocent of the charges. He is being politically persecuted. The question is why De Quiros is not out there with the ralliers.</p>
<p>A quote from Pastor Martin Niemoller after the Second World War that De Quiros might have used before might be of use to him now: “First they came for the Communists, and I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a Communist. Then they came for the Social Democrats, and I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a Social Democrat. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn&#8217;t speak up, because I wasn&#8217;t a Jew, Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak up for me.”</p>
<p>Avid readers of De Quiros’ column know by now his distrust of Jose Maria Sison, and by extension, the national democratic movement. He is entitled to his opinions. But to applaud the arrest and trampling of the rights of a man whom he is not sure is guilty in the first place but nevertheless dislikes is a betrayal of the very thing he claims to fight for:</p>
<p>Justice.</p>

<p>pag nakakapanood ako ng the simpsons, hindi pwedeng hindi ko maalala &#8216;yung isang byernes na bumaha sa amin nung grade 2 ako. tumirik yung kakaragkarag na kotseng minamaneho ng nanay ko kaya pinasundo niya ako sa pinsan ko. at bilang malilimutin, nasa bahay na kami nung napansin kong naiwan ko pala sa parking lot yung bag ko. kaya bukod sa pag-tow sa kotse, na-hassle din ang mga magulang ko para balikan ang naiwan kong bag sa school. at habang nagaganap ang patung-patong na kamalasan na iyun, prenteng-prente akong nanonood ng mga noo&#8217;y isa sa mga unang episode ng the simpsons. lampas 15 taon na palang nung nangyari yun. ngayon ko lang din na-realize na antagal pala bago nagkaroon ng movie version ang paborito kong cartoon&#8211;17 years. pero magkagayunman, hindi pa rin tumatanda sina bart at lisa, hindi pa rin nagdidivorce sina marge at homer, at di pa rin nakakapagsalita si maggie ( at may subo pa ring pacifier si maggie. pero antabayanan ang first word niya sa history ng the simpsons).  </p>
<p>di naman nasayang ang paglalakad ko sa ulan papunta sa community cinema (hehehe) sa may amin para manood ng the simpsons movie. wala pa ring nagbago, andun pa rin yung biting sarcasm at pagtalakay sa mga nagbabagang isyu sa amerika (nagawa ko pa ngang i-connect sa anti-terror bill ang pakahulugan sa pelikula, hehehe). and i must say, i really love it. at mabuti na nga lang mag-isa lang ako sa row, kasi iyak lang ako nang iyak sa kakatawa at sa nostalgia. </p>
<p>eto, ang isang glowing <a href="http://film.guardian.co.uk/News_Story/Critic_Review/Guardian_review/0,,2133231,00.html">review</a> ni peter bradshaw ng the guardian. at eto naman ang isa pang <a href="http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/film/2007/07/breathe_a_sigh_of_relief_the_s.html">blogentry</a> tungkol sa pelikula.</p>
