I saw this Indie film at Cinema One yesterday and somehow it got me thinking of so many issues that women face. The disrespect that men (husbands) give outright and directly to women who never asserts her rights and happiness is too much as depicted in this film. And quite frankly, it does exist in our society. Women who are unable to face the core of their problems would instead confront problems in the home that she is able to confront, much like Margaret's obsessive compulsion to keep dirty dishes, ugly stains, and disorderly appliances in order instead of focusing on her husband's infidelity and lewdness. She shuns away from the fact that her children are affected by the moral issues that confront the business dealings of her husband, or the fact that her husband thinks it disrespectful every time she speaks her native dialect and obviously shows disgust in front of the kids. Such demeaning acts, plus the fact that her kids do not communicate with her makes her lonelier and shut from the world that the rest of her family is living in.
And of course, the very obvious fact that communication is indeed the best weapon of all is highly magnified in this film. Social issues & women's issues that the film is trying to open the eyes of the viewers with is much appreciated . What do you think?
Today I signed up for MTV Emerge. Hehehe, a rising star eh? Not quite. MTV Emerge is actually a platform for unsigned music talents in the Philippines to showcase their work and to be given an opportunity to win a one-year recording contract with Jeepney Music. It's an MTV, Jeepney Music, and Department of Tourism collaboration that aims, not only to hunt for the hottest unsigned music talent from all genres of music (Indie, rock, hip-hop, R&B, metal, solo artists, DJs, etc) but also gather an online music community where new music from the Philippines can be discovered. Sounds cool?
All the participants from any music genre are encouraged to register and upload their profiles, photos and original music on the MTV Emergesite during the contest submission period. Their entries will go through a public voting process, where, a total of seven grand winners will be selected from the top entries on November 20 by a panel of judges including Apl.de.Ap, one of the members of the sensational Black Eyed Peas, who is actually the founder of Jeepney Music...
All seven grand winners of MTV Emerge will win a one-year recording contract with Jeepney Music and mentorship under Apl.de.Ap. OMG! I hope I will win.. uhmm.. I wish.. hehehe... What's more promising is the fact that the contract includes artist management and promotion, digital distribution of 3 – 6 songs and a strategic marketing plan for the signed artists to break into both the Philippines and international markets.
As for me, well, I think I will have to think of something to contribute for my entry. In the meantime, I must tell you about the unsigned artist I voted for. She is CHARMI SANTOS. I like the song she sang and the lyrics kinda hits me.. It's entitled Tinkerbelle's Theme... Vote for her too. She's good...
