The exciting thing Kinatay Brillante Mendoza, is not the murder and the expeditionary force by women victims of drug dealers (played by Isabel Lopez). Ran from flat tire at the end, an amazing moment for Beijing, the main character of Coco Martin.
The film begins with a wedding. Peiping and his partner, Cecille is played (Mercedes Cabral) happily running through the streets to go to City Hall for an appointment with the magistrate. Which meanders through theNeighborhood Barangka frantic Mandaluyong City.
Brillante Mendoza film begins with an upbeat rhythm of high expectations. Peiping and his girlfriend have deposited their child with a neighbor. That is about to legalize their status. There is no trace of Peiping guilt, trying to right a wrong in his relations with his girlfriend. And 'some' as a natural process carried out at the end: you can now get married Cecille, his mistress, waiting for his fullPoliceman with a career ahead of him. He is on the threshold of a new life as a husband. He is on the threshold of his future career as a policeman, a childhood friend of dream which he claims to have already there.
A good part of the beginning followed by Beijing through the ritual of marriage bleached of any religious affiliation. And 'the secular state in the Sala della Pace (played by Lou Veloso), which together with the control and the legalization of binding to Beijing and his wife. As isTown Hall on his appointment, is witness to a scene at high voltage between a man like Humpty Dumpty perched on a steel structure near Edsa and his mother was desperate, hysterical and called his son, come down from the beam. This image of a precarious self-destruction is seen in the midst of joyful expectation, if not euphoria, Peiping, Cecille and family on their way to the wedding and reception.
The next episode in the history Brillante Mendoza brings Peipingattend school in a class of aspiring rookies. The excitement of the wedding, which was infected only happens in the morning, everyone in the class. There are a lot of jokes among his classmates and teachers.
After school plays (Abiong by Jhong Hilario), his friend, informed Peiping an urgent task in the same night: The boss wants.
Here are the shifts of Brillante Mendoza film dark depths of the city. A female drug dealer (Isabel Lopez) is taken from a bar-night cluband dried in a van. A journey through Roxas Boulevard and Edsa, lands on the NLEX in a remote town in Bulacan and Pampanga.
The female is interrogated and beaten in the van. Most of these scenes are filmed in dark shadows, with a continual barrage of side-car and street noise.
At the safe house, the victim is dragged into a basement of a bucket of water on his back, and on over his faults, interrogated, betrayal, and failure to deliver the promised money.During all the time, watches the proceedings Peiping helpless in a corner. Play The Deputy Chiefs (Head of Julio Diaz), he says, along with Abiong to buy cigarettes and a lighter. Take the truck to town. Abiong hands him a gun. Says Cape said it was a gift to Beijing for his personal use. Agitated and confused, Peiping task considered his friend. He slipped away secretly tried to take a bus to escape. His cell phone rings. Abiong wonders whereis? Returns reluctantly to his companion to fulfill.
Brillante Mendoza is how the history of the safe house, Peiping made in the basement with cigarettes. In this trial, the victim desperately to negotiate with some of the Cape. Instead of his friend, Abiong, they raped. The horror effectively increases due to the fact that the scene in the scene objectively and sobriety. Not to resort to melodramatic effect. Screaming for their lives, you can feel the panic among the black shadows, "Huwag n'yoI patayin kong anak ako! "(Do not kill me, please, I have a son!"
You will be killed, and then cut, limb by limb, body part by body part. Brillante Mendoza stages of this episode in a single house style, showing the effectiveness of the murderess, the executioner. He is committed to a dramatic pace of the brutality of a choreographer, taking into account the feelings of assembling all stakeholders. The lack of melodrama is sustainable. A far cry from Hollywood. To me, this is a typical Pinoy Cinema!
Brillante Mendozaus back to the city now ... It's almost dawn. The body parts that are covered in plastic, one after the other, or throw rubbish various websites.
Back in town, somewhere in Grace Park, the team remains on the line for breakfast. Peiping this time stunned the nightmare. He apologized. He can not eat. The boss allowed him to return home. He gives the money to take a taxi.
In the taxi, Peiping drew his pistol from his pocket. And while we hear him staringexplosion. The cab had a flat tire. Crazy, Peiping be slightly out of the cab and tried hail another taxi. Meanwhile, the driver changes the tire. Once set, the driver commands again in E 'a time for Beijing in the grip will come to him. Then he goes on at this point, increases Brillante Mendoza, the excitement and drama. It reminded me of the story of Kafka's "Metamorphosis." Beijing has as Gregor Samsa. In the story of KafkaGregor Samsa wakes up in his bed, and discovers that it was a mistake. The horror of this story is not that has been transformed into an insect. The horror is that he and his family for granted. At the end of the story, Kafka describes Gregor's room opened, in bed with the window wide bedroom. Vladimir Nabokov, Russian writer, the analysis of history was too confused to ask if Gregory was an error in his bed, with a window open, because it has wings to fly offFreedom?
Brillante Mendoza Peiping was a reincarnation of Gregor Samsa. Completely disoriented and psychologically dislocated, Peiping looks at his new weapon for him that night. The film begins with hopes and expectations. Images of self-extinction (the suicidal Edsa) interrupted his rite of marriage. The experiences of brutality and violence stopped destroying his marriage with his self-esteem. Peiping has lost its wings. Is this temporary or traumaDuration?
Brillante Mendoza film beautifully crafted this nightmare in a bold palette of light gray ash on the pitch / coal black, with a shot unexpectedly occasional scarlet (the victim's clothing) between the Grays. The whole film is carefully calibrated in terms of color, to dampen the atmosphere. The choice of coffee on the road Tapsilog with the towering structure of the LRT as the background reminded me of Piranesi prints of arcs endless prospects for confusion. The sceneattention turned to catch the morning with only a promise little spot of dawn the morning.
Brillante Mendoza is a rare Pinoy Administration. He is one of the few who deliberately builds metaphors in his films. This was already in his first film, Masahito where he compares his protagonist a joy to his dramatically contrasting male customers and those with a duty to wash and clean the corpse of his father, so to equate pleasure with the state ofDead. And the craft is aware of what helps and does its job poetic and exciting for me.
Brillante Mendoza Kinatay is not just a terrible story of a woman killed. And 'rich layers of meaning. And art, art is the culmination of history. When the victim's cries for mercy to save his life - has a family, a child - the whole scene is a whole new meaning in retrospect. Presence scene Peiping, witnesses of violence. Notonly the woman physically, as an exception in disiecta States, which in greek theater is torn sparagmos. Symbolically, the soul of Beijing (and perhaps even spectators) will also be cut into pieces. The hymen of innocence is torn. Beijing is the silence screams in it, "Me anak rin ako!"? Must participate in the crime? Brillante Mendoza film is not just discover a police brutality and corruption. And 'the drama of a moral dilemma of the spiritual habits-how insidiouslyand thin, we enter into rage when the prevailing moral leadership and moral ambiguities disappear.
When the police that embodied by the boss (played by John Regala) decides to run for the sacrifice in the name of the company, which embraces the efficiency and pragmatism. But tear them apart, we share in a sacred ritual. Parts of their bodies throughout the city, we share in the scandal and perversion of the sanctity of life. Literally binabasura ang Buhay! Depreciation and shareDesecration of the divine aspect of human life.
Peiping wedding ceremony ends can end up in a bath of blood, tears, perhaps destroyed completely self-esteem. We are suddenly turned upside down and with him on the heights of isolation, as an image at the beginning of the film lies, led us to the precarious balance between self-destruction and efforts should be seen as having a joke: to survive and overcome the horror . In a sermon recently at Don Bosco Church, the pastor saidGospel of the wedding feast. He said that means in Christian iconography, a festival banquet, like a painting in the middle, the theme of the end of time. Peiping is really on the threshold of a new life metaphysics. Let me now cite Edith Tiempo "(the symbol), a notice, in line with the prophetic declaration of doubtful many people" forever balance between self-annihilation, and live coverage of what the long term. "
Brillante Mendoza ends with a sunsetPhotos of his wife gives him a breakfast fried rice with eggs. The marriage is over and start a new life, or rather, the agony begins. The greek theater, after sparagmos is agony. The ambiguous image of hope that the values of family, claims to be clear.
