Compare and Contrast of Himala: The Musical and Pan’s Labyrinth
The stage performers acted professionally as the actors and actresses in the movie. Yet, compared to the movie, the projection of some actions in the theatre were exaggerated than in the film. The music and songs sung by the actors and actresses were suitable to the scenes they were in. The melody and rhythm of each song played depends on the mood of the scene just like in the film. The musical and the film portrayed different moods such as despair, sadness, hope, misery, and gladness. To emphasize more the emotion of the situation in the, the audios were supported by projecting different colors of lights. Bright colors such as yellow and white represent neutral or happy moods while dark colors such as red, blue and green, represent dark moods or scenes with negative emotions. In the film, to support the emotion of the scenes different shades of lightings were presented together with the focus and angle of the camera. In the theatre, to show the sequence of two story happening after the other, two scenes will be presented, the actors in first scene to happen will act first while the other group pauses. While in the movie, scene after scene will be flashed solely in the screen. Using the historical analysis to analyse Himala, the musical represented the misguided fanatiscm of Filipinos about religion which was the negative attitude passed on by the European friars during the Spanish occupation. It showed how religion was used to gain power, fame and wealth, which is one of the very erroneous deed done during the Dark Ages. It also showed the very stereotypic views of the Filipino about success, that in order to be successful or to have a good fortune, you have to please the heavens for a miracle to fall on you, but if you do otherwise you’ll be damned or cursed for good. This is supported by the current socio- economic situation of the country, which is buried in poverty and corruption. Filipinos
