(Reaction Paper)

Thy Womb is a film that is worth watching for. This film indeed tells the reality of living. The reality in which people do have different cultures as well as their way of living that was affected by the things or events in their surroundings. This reality is also experienced by us in our lives but in different circumstances. For myself, as I watched this film confusion did take place but when I finished this film somehow everything just turned out to be connected with the vision and the objective of the director Mr. Brillante Mendoza as he tells this film with a third-person point of view.
This film is indeed interesting as its story is about Muslim Culture that is rarely shown to public. It shows the rich culture of Muslims that is unknown to public also the unfortunate side.
Shaleha, the character portrayed by Nora Aunor is indeed the most interesting for me. It’s very unusual to see a wife go searching for another lady to be his husband’s second wife. Shaleha truly shown that her love for her husband, Bangas-An, was fascinating. She has gone to some hardships just by knowing that her husband might really turn his back to her.
This film was actually caught in Tawi-tawi, one of the southernmost parts of Philippines, which have become infamous for being the site of warring government and the Muslims terrorists. This is a great place for the film to be taken especially featuring the beautiful sceneries, and some of the very unusual events to be seen by public. Such elements were truly important for the film makers to make this film as at it was.
Within this film, such values were essentially portrayed, like the undying love of Shaleha to her husband Bangas-An, the couple’s faith and persistence to really make it up to the dowry required by the other family is strongly portrayed as the couple willingly sell their things and asked help from the other communities.
The people within this film or rather the Muslims has this will

    Absa's use of untrained actors/actresses works well in this film by giving it a flavor of reality. I would recommend this movie to anyone interested in seeing things from a non-western point of view or anyone wanting to see how different cultures interact and intertwine. If you do not like subtitled/foreign films, I would not recommend this movie unless you have a grasp of the French language. There is some fun poked at the differences involving Islam and Christianity, so if you are not tolerant or can't find humor in religion, you may be slightly offended.…

    The novel begins with the main character, Tita, being born on the kitchen table. Tita had no need for the usual slap on the bottom, because she was already crying as she emerged; maybe that was because she knew that it would be her destiny to be denied marriage. Tita was literally washed into this world on a great tide of tears that spilled over the edge of the table and flooded across the kitchen floor. Although this is included in the film with tremendous accuracy, the movie begins with a different scene. The movie opens with Tita’s father going to a bar to celebrate the birth of his daughter. On the way a friend informs him of his wife s, Mama Elena, affair with a man having Negro blood in his veins. The terrible news brings on a heart attack killing him instantly. In the book, this information is not given until the middle chapters.…

    The purpose of the movie was to inform us about Islam and Muslims, and how they were created and who the leader of the groups were. The movie was good because it had informed us about stuff we wouldn't even know about. The content in the movie was a little dull and boring but we did learn and that's all that matters. We learned about the five leaders and how they had changed the land and its people forever. The movie was pretty boring and it didn't cover all of the information in about them and how they changed everything.…

    The main subject and purpose of the movie was about the Islams and the Muslims, and Muhammad plus the Christians and Sulleyman. The good thing about the movie was that it was educational. I think that it could have been better, it was boring I had a hard time staying awake. If I was to rate it it would be a five out of ten because although it was educational it was also very boring. The only thing I had problems with was that his accent was more kind of British or Australian and it's hard to understand what they are saying.…

    The guitar concert last September 7 2012 was indeed a show not to miss. It presented various styles and techniques that created a very wonderful piece of art. There were many factors that made the concert more than pleasing to the spectators that were present that night. First was the aura that the concert created, it was calm yet powerful which in my point of view really made the concert not boring or easy to fall asleep. The way the guitar, violin and the Chapman stick were played together was truly above the normal capabilities of a trained person. It was really harmonious as if the players were unconsciously playing their instruments. It was really like it was a part of their body.…

    Those opposed to the Bill assert that the Philippines does not have a population problem and that the focus of public policy should instead be on the corruption problem. They argue that a large population resulting from rapid population growth is, in fact, good for the economy. They add that attempts to slow population growth are ill-advised as they would only hasten the onset of the “demographic winter” or the problem of ageing currently experienced by the advanced countries in Europe. Moreover, the Catholic Church hierarchy and conservative religious groups assert that the RH bill is pro-abortion and is thus anti-life. This is because, in their view, modern contraceptives – which the RH bill proposes to make available along with the traditional methods (including “natural family planning”) – are abortifacient.…
