Dinig Sana Kita: Movie/Film Analysis
Theme: The movie’s theme would be only appropriate to say that, it is of a love story in nature, with the typical love hate relation ship at first. The twist of the story would be that the attraction is between two people, Niña and Kiko, of opposite poles. Kiko, being a deaf-mute who is an ambitious dancer; and Niña a rebellious, rocker girl who is abusive of hearing. The two leads being two opposite poles, will find a common ground beyond them – music.

Plot of the story: The film is a love story between a deaf boy who loves to dance and a troubled rocker girl who abuses her hearing. One lives in the world of solitude and silence, the other in noise and fear. One intense night, they both got into trouble. Unfortunately for Niña, the school administration was all ears regarding her whereabouts for her rebellious behavior and decided to kick her out. Crossing paths in a Baguio camp that mixes deaf and hearing kids. Kiko remembers her face. He was a bit attached and intrigued with Niña. Both find that they have more in common with each other including a love for music.

Dinig Sana Kita is a movie where in the love aspect is not the entire focal point. Given that the characters have attitudes, the problems arise not merely in connection to the possible love between the two but also with their interrelationships with the people around them.

Acting/Casting: Zoe Sandejas, the girl who played the female lead – Niña, played the role well, she portrayed that angst-rich rebellious girl act very believably and naturally, its like she exudes that kind of personality herself. Romalito Mallari, the guy who played the role of the male lead – Kiko. Romalito is a real deaf-mute aspiring actor and dancer. The male lead played the role well, being that the role required the actor to play deaf; it was made natural due to the real-life condition of the actor – being deaf. Sufficing the requisite of the role, Romalito gave something more that enhanced the role of the male

    Rarely has a film impacted an audience and held the test of time as the film Gone with the Wind. I have always been curious if director, Victor Fleming and producer, David O. Selznick and screenplay writer, Sidney Howard knew what they were creating a masterpiece and how this film would have such an enormous impact on audiences for years to come. Interestingly enough there were some who thought the film should not be made, as Irving Thalberg said to Louis B. Meyer in 1936, “Forget it Louis, no Civil War picture ever made a nickel” (Ten Films that Shook the World). This romantic melodrama was released in January, 1940, yet it was at the 1939 Academy Awards that Gone with the Wind was nominated for thirteen awards, the eight awards that were won were Best Picture, Director, Actress, Supporting Actress, Screenplay, Color Cinematography, Art Direction, and Editing (Ten Films that Shook the World). ”If the total income for Gone with the Wind were to be adjusted for inflation, it would be considered the most successful of all time” (Ten Films that Shook the World). When you think of “Gone with the Wind” from a film criticism standpoint, it’s hard to judge it by the Auteur Theory, which states that the director is supreme overlord of a films artistic merit because in the case of Gone with the Wind, Fleming takes a back seat to Selznick. The film chronicles the grandeur and splendor of the Old South, how it crumbles during the Civil War and the New South during reconstruction. The characters are basically simple folk living a simple life until their world is shattered by the Civil War and this devastation creates a new world, one which will require courage and resilience to survive. Selznick genius in the aspects of cinematography lighting, sound, costumes and societal impact and genre…

    The most common contemporary understanding of theme is a main idea or an underlying meaning that is central to the story in a film. If a plot refers to the sequence of events of a story, this is the surface of a film or what we see and hear. The theme then would be what’s under the surface, or the idea or point that the audience receives from watching the film. A director or writer of a film may make themes very clear and sometime these lessons or messages can be very subtle. Themes can be exemplified by mise en scène, either by the use of acting style or a characters thoughts that can give us the aspect of human dilemma that will explore the theme of the film.…

    “In this bright future you can’t forget your past.” Sweet, simple, and to the point was this quote said by Jamaican reggae artist Bob Marley. The major theme of this movie is returning to the past to understand your future. In the beginning of the film the protagonist starts off as Mona, a self-centered model oblivious to her surroundings, and its importance. She stood on the very ground where many of our ancestors were chained and held captive until voyage, yet all she did was smile inartistically into the camera. Later while exploring she found herself trapped in a slave trade, and she became delirious. As the slave masters proceeded to pull her back into the dungeon for branding she screamed “I’m not like them, I am not one of them”. I find that in today’s society without blatantly screaming it, the African American culture is doing just that, separating ourselves so we’re not like them.…
