It was also nominated for Best Supporting Actor (Mario OHara) and Best Supporting Actress (Laurice Guillen)The story is good. All the ideas presented in the movie were all great. It has good twists and it is made to convey a message. Its also another way to awaken people about what is happening in the society. It is the reflection of what is happening.When it comes to cinem atography, it works just fine as I consider the course of study it was made. I was only bo in that respectd about the musical scaling when Berto sees Kuala lying somewhere focusing her legs. The scoring does not suit the situation. It doesnt help to manifest ones emotion. We all know that sounds are another factor that surprise, terrify and excite people about the scenes.While I am notice the film, I read the subtitle at the same time. I wonder if how we see the movie as great would be as great as viewers from other countries can see it because there are dialogues said that are different from what is written in the subtitle. there are some parts where some of what the actors say are different from what the subtitles are implying.When it comes to the actors, I find them real great. Eddie Gutierrez did great in this film as wellspring as Christopher de Leon. Eddie Gutierrez opposing scenes are truly effective for me. It made me feel like he is in truth the devil in the story. Christopher De Leons soft voice helps the way he is in the story. I think he is really a good actor for the role. Evangeline is also good. She portrays to be a good girl and rancid out to be a foolish one. I was irritated by the way she takes Junior for given(p) and the way she flirts with another guy, but it is a good thing. Lolita Rodriguez on the other hand is very very good. We all know that being a main actor on a film and at the same time portraying a role of an insane is a very challenging matter. You shoot to deliver everything up to the end with only few words to say. It might be the hardest role in this film because she has to make people believe not with the words shes going to say, but for the actions shes going to show. Its very convincing, she is very convincing. I also see the consistency of her great surgical procedure in this film. She has this legendary performance as the town lunatic who is Kuala.Mario Ohara is very effective as I pity him for his status. Whe n I was watching the film, it made me feel like I am on his part. I hate the way people treat him and I pity the way he was treated by the people. The lines he delivered in the story come out very natural. Thats why when he was shot by one of the policemen, it made me ask the question whats wrong with the society? and made me feel like Hey it is happening all the time. That made me cry. I only find vagueness in the character of Milagros. After having an intercourse with Junior, she was out of the picture. For me, it wasnt given a closure. There may be the reason maybe because she also has to go to Manila but the answers about where she is is vague. a huge production with a pretty large cast, and no one drops the ball. I really love the story of Tinimbang Ka Ngunit Kulang not only because it is dramatic but because it made me realize what kind of people we necessitate in our surroundings, what kind of government we had before and asking myself if Am I one of the alienated in the soc iety or.. Am I one of the oppressors?As I watch the film, I found out that there are people who are alienated in a certain environment and there are oppressors. There are people who are outcasts and there are people who enjoys being pukka to another. We know that people enjoys being superior because some people let themselves be inferior. The government we had in this movie is with Marcos Regime. It happens during the martial law as some of the actors says that there are curfews.I can see oppression in the film as Junior has this good status in life but found his dark side. He is indeed a lost boy. He is a son of devil wealthy parents but his father is nothing but a womanizer and his mother is a nagger. They have this Christian women association but are sort of villains too in the film. Yes. They said they are after God but how can they make rumours about people, judge them and let Berto be an outcast of their own place? They are leading the entire place to make a better society b ut was not actually what is supposed to be.It made me realize a lot of things, we have seen marginalization that Philippines had and the untruth of the people around us. Some of them are even into a religion. Because of the inhuman judgments, the film disturbs and touches me. Its a exciting movie, all in all. It made me even ask myself about my stand in the society. What the film implies is also what is present today. There are social injustices, and no matter how good we serve others, our thoughts and action will always be twisted by others. Whats sad in the film is not the corruption of a government or anything but thse corruption of men.After all the wrong things we made, it hurts to helplessly contemplate as we see innocence being shattered. The ending of the film says a lot of things. Junior is the only one who embrace the lives of two social outcasts whose attitude overpowers their physical and mental shortcomings and Kualas nightmare of the abortion turned out to be a new h ope as Junior walked outside the house of Berto with the newborn queer facing all the guilty townspeople. Its a very good movie. Lino Brocka didnt fail to shed a light on our countrys social ills in this film.
