I didn't expect I'd be watching a fullhouse during a 3:25pm wednesday at G4. I love the crowd in G4 cinemas, they clap, they laugh out loud, they're such great movie goers! Those people can really make me enjoy more on the movies I watch.
SPOILER ALERT BEYOND THIS POINT!!!
Going back to Babae sa Septic Tank, the main cast which is Ms. Eugene Domingo as Mila is a mother of 7 children who lives in the depth of squatter area, a shanty beside a pozo negro. She has nothing to feed her children except 1 pack of noodle split to 7 mouths + hers. The movie evolves in the scene where Mila divides 1 pack of noodle into 7 cups.
The movie is a bit of like a docu drama + reality + comedy. It was a bit dragging at first but you'll see how the story begins to turn to a new topic when they started looking for Ms. Eugene Domingo. This movie has tackled the real thing, the dream, the pride, the arrogance, the ignorance and also, the addiction to social networking.
This movie has also shown the reality vs the movie vs the reality turned to movie. The 3 segment change in this movie has shown how Mila affects the screen when they are filming Mainstream, reality show/docu drama and Indie film. That's why Eugene's acting was really tried and tested in this film.
The part that caught me most was Eugene's 3 kinds of Acting:
1. “Elevator” (tamang comedy w/ body sway up & down)
2. “TV Patrol”(walang kasing drama, OA, End of the World to!)
3. “As is, Where is” (Emotionless acting. hindi OA, tamang sambit ng dialogue lang)
This part was so hilarious as these 3 are trademarks of Eugene as an actress.
In the end, a shock and streak of laughter from the whole cinema has echoed as Eugene started her day for sequence 7.
You'll know... if you watched. :)
Kudos to Mr. Chris Martin :)
