[arleeneremocal]

1. If I’m not mistaken this was the third time I had watched that movie, every time I watch this one definitely there would be a crying time that will happen. I love watching this movie because you can recount to the movies flow and the role of a woman on society.
2. Yes, I do agree with the main theme that the film wants to convey, because the film shows the real love of a mother for her children just to get a blissful life for then.
3. I knew that this is also Lea’s story, I like the character of Lea because she never standstill for the decision of her children’s happiness. As a mother, she knew what is best for her children.
4. I have learned that our role as a woman on the society is not just taken for granted, we know how to love and care our selves and others. The movie’s theme wants us to understand that woman is for someone in good hands. It is not easy to live out our pain and aches we are taking part. We need also someone to care and understand us.
5. All of the participants in the film even the producers and movie writer who wrote do good job in playing the theme of the movie and the scenes were excellent.
6. For me it is almost a perfect movie, not just for the couple and women but for a family. Family always revolves in every movie. Right?. They are the one who will understand you and will live you out if you’re still inside the shell of your own imagination.

REACTION (BATA BATA, PAANO KA GINAWA?)


As you read the title of the film, it is interesting. The film was great. I already watched the movie tears ago but it is clearer to me, I understood it better and I got the lesson of the story. The film was touching, after the movie I realized so many things like the importance of the family, the role of the husband and wife for their children’s good, and the importance of parent-child relationship.

The actors and the actresses were also great, the artists fit well on their characters and on the role that they portray especially the main character, Ms. Vilma Santos, ever since she’s been a good actress, she can depict different roles and she can make people touch through her acting.

It changed the way I love, I learned that I should love my parent more and always think that all they want us to do is for our own good, they never want us to suffer. I also learned that we should be open to our parents in whatever we feel, and tell them if we encounter some problems because they can help, we should also make friends with them and not only treat them as an older one but with respect.


GOD BLESS

reaction sa movie

My personal reaction to the movie
“Bata, Bata Paano Ka Ginawa?”


The movie is great and it gives blissful events as it partakes to the sequential scenario. First thing that comes to my mind when I first heard the title, hmm it is interesting, why is it entitled Bata, Bata Paano Ka Ginawa?. It has been three years if I’m not mistaken when I first watched the movie. As the movie scene production continuously presented, every little words that I’m hearing makes sense, every words has its meaning. The movie speaks about the role of a mother portrayed by Vilma Santos, who is willing to give everything for her two children and her husband and live-in partner.

For me love can still wait, it will never fade away, just like the sand on a beach because it is not a thing that you eventually can threw away, it is a sensation which you are suppose to not let go over it. Children needs a love of a true father and a mother, the love that can’t be found through the journey, it can be find within the caress of a simple warmth hug of a parents. Even they doesn’t have yet the right to make and ask clearly all the problems of a family if they can see it through their eyes they will have eventually knowledge in their minds and ask for themselves why are they struggling or why their voices are too loud.

For a part of a single mother, it is very hard to just let yourself arrange all the things that are mess up. Example, the care and love that a child wanted to have, she can’t just give it every hour because she needs to work hard for them to live heart fully. The movie reviews that you can’t just let go over it without the advice of someone but still it is in your will the true happiness you are finding. Mother knows the best, they are the one whom we let our problems clear off, and they are the one who knew things first before us, they have much experience than us.

The role of a female is to love and comfort their love ones, we are precious enough, we could do anything that will give the relationship goes to a smooth flow, rather some males makes the love a game, they are being bitten by attractions or hallucinations of some people and then they’ll go and follow to the wrong path. Every human finds a true love, choose the best or not the best, but rather those that you think that you can rely on and give you happiness not pain. If you are being hurt by the first one, then still forgive him but if he or she still have done that again give him or her another chance, who might know the third chance might be the real truth that you belong to each other. Pain can be still cured but heartaches can no longer be cured even by love.

[Febbie Keene Vivas]

1. Did you like this film in general? Why?

I like how Lea deals with her problems in this film.

Just be yourself. Stand for what you think is right. Don’t let other people ruin your life just because of the mistakes that you’ve done, prove them that you can make it up again.

5. Did the author/actors/director do a good job in the film? Why or why not?
Definitely yes, this film was really a big hit.

6. What particular changes would you like to recommend to further enhance the quality of the film? How could it be further improved?

[christine joy ong]

1. Did you like this film in general? Why?
I really liked the film. I love the characters and how the story goes. It is fun to watch because of some comical characters like Maya. I never get bored while watching the film. It also made me realize how to appreciate my parents more.

2. Did you agree with the main theme/purpose that the film wants to convey? Why or why not?
I do agree with the purpose of the film. It will be a good way to help the viewers realize important things in life.

3. What specifically did you like/dislike about the film? Why?
What I don’t like about the film is the “censored” and “not for children” words or actions. For me, the film is for young people especially the children so it is not appropriate to have “strong words” in the script.

4. What lesson or insight have you learned from the film?
First, I learned that one person should be loyal to his/her partner. Second, there should be always trust in every relationship. And the most important thing is how we should appreciate our parents even though they are not perfect.

5. Did the author/actors/director do a good job in the film? Why or why not?
Thumbs up for all the actors and also to the author and director of the film. The actors did a good job portraying their characters well and for showing deep emotions in the film. The author is amazing for writing a great story and also the director for handling the scenes.

6. What particular changes would you like to recommend to further enhance the quality of the film? How could it be further improved?
Maybe I’ll minimize the use of “bad words” so that young people who will watch the movie will avoid using those words in real life.
