    CAIN AT ABEL

    Directed by: LINO BROCKA

    The film Cain and Abel is a modern-day retelling of the biblical story. Just at
    start of the film, it is stated that there is a complicated relationship between the
    brothers Lorenzo and Ellis, as well as between the mother and son Lorenzo and
    Senior Pina. At the beginning of the movie Cain and Abel, the brothers Lorenzo and
    Ellis, who perform the protagonists, have such a misunderstanding. The siblings and
    their mother have been started referring to as Cain and Abel. Lorenzo is Senior
    Pina's eldest son; he chose not to attend college because he must manage their
    land. He and his mother had a difficult relationship.

    He always seems to be frustrated or disapproved to anything Lorenzo asks or


    says because he believes Lorenzo is a hinderance who creates issues for their
    family. Ellis, while on the other hand, is the opposite of Lorenzo. Ellis is their
    mother's favorite; she ends up getting whatever she wants from her mother. The
    big issue appeared with Ellis' come back. Lorenzo was frustrated because of
    property he must have spent so much time for so long seemed to be likely to be
    transferred to his brother Ellis. Lorenzo also couldn't understand all these, and as
    direct consequence, he was becoming angered as well as chose to leave their own
    property. In this scene, I felt annoyed and pity for Lorenzo because, after all, he
    was the one who established their land, and now it is being given to another person.
    as such I do not even understand why Lorenzo did and why he is angry with his
    mother Senior Pina. I was enraged by the fact that their mother did not see their
    siblings equitably, going to result in sibling disagreement. After all, his mother
    would be to blame due to her unequal treatment.

    Cain and Abel have both strengths and weaknesses, and the movie's
    strengths are not always noticeable. Its main disadvantage is its theatrical
    characteristics, that also involves it to constantly engage its audiences for the
    film's heavy political and social comments to be fully understood. The strength of
    the film can be seen in the skill of each character that gives people a remarkable
    thrill, the ability of each character shows strength especially when it comes to
    their storytelling, that each of their performer and compare in each scene will
    indeed amaze each viewer. The movie Cain and Abel's weakness can be seen in the
    scene where other characters in the movie are not suitable for what should be
    done. There are also some parts of the film that are inappropriate for children, as
    well as some scenes that are improperly captured. Every character in the film is
    excellent and their actions are commendable. The set design, props, and actors in
    the movie Cain and Abel are good and clean, especially in the part where they shoot
    brothers and fight, the design and acting are good. Life isn't always fair. The story
    of Cain and Abel teaches us an important lesson about living sincerely.

    Cain and Abel's screenplay or theme and context is good because the idea is
    good, and the movie wants to convey it. The movie's context is also good because
    each scene is beautiful because it shows what is going on inside the movie. The
    preparation and time during which a movie takes spot are referred to as the
    movie's context. It also appears to contribute to the emergence of an emotions;
    therefore, the audience knows what to prepare for while viewing it.
    MAYNILA SA KUKO NG LIWANAG
    Directed by: LINO BROCKA

    My reflection on the film "Manila: Sa Kuko Ng Liwanag" is the film "Manila: Sa Kuko
    Ng Liwanag," which explores the darkest corners of the country's capital through
    all the eyes of a provincial, Julio Madiaga, who's really searching for his girlfriend,
    Ligaya Paraiso. The screenplay writer implies at the deliberate symbolic meaning
    that's also indicated to the viewer through to the identities of the characters
    featured in the film. My insights on the film Manila: Sa Kuko Ng Liwanag can be
    observed in the film how difficult life is nowadays, allowing us to truly agree that
    life is different in the province and in Manila.

    What I noticed in this movie is that it talked different social issues which the
    country is still dealing with, such as poorness, that can be seen in multiple scenes in
    the film "Manila sa mga Kuko ng Liwanag"'how far more economic inequality is
    increasing and spreading when it happens to come to Manila that even some people
    would much rather work than learn and practice how learning is defined the
    solution to poorness, In the film, there is also a saying, "isang kahig isang tuka,"
    which states that if you really shouldn't work, you won't have anything to eat.

    This also clearly shows a few real duties in the film that takes priority the
    wrongdoing over everyday necessities. Even as Julio aggressively searches for
    Ligaya, the city starts to change him, as well as he is converting into a living
    creature imperiled to continue living for only living in a wild. Different lifestyles
    are depicted in the film, as well as the differences between everyone. The various
    habits of Filipinos are depicted. Everyone in the film does an excellent work of
    storytelling. When it comes to shots, the angle of this film is different from the
    shots and angles of today's films; you can see the difference in the use of cameras
    in them than in nowadays, which is perfectly clear and excellent. Nowadays, the
    sounds used in movies are distinctive.
