    Film Chosen: Ordinaryo Pamilya


    Film Theory: Structuralist Film Theory

    “Ordinaryo Pamilya” was the film I chose in order to discuss how well it analyzes
    Structuralist Film Theory out of all the other film theories there are. After watching
    the film directed by Eduardo W. Roy, I noticed the various topics and scenarios that
    were being brought up by the director regarding real life situations when it comes to
    poverty and how people live upon it. With the definition of the Structuralist Film
    theory, the film varies different codes and conventions that aims to instill through
    complex and situational visuals and emotions on the audience that watch movies. It
    seeks to demonstrate to the viewers how to perceive, comprehend, and connect to a
    movie's smallest nuances. I believe that the film mentioned is one of the many
    Filipino films out there that lies under Structuralist Film theory as it demonstrates the
    struggles of two young parents who rely only on crimes such as theft to meet their
    requirements each day as they reside on streets. This movie displayed us on how
    our society is evolving while also educating us on the variety of social challenges
    that our nation faces. The audience was able to sympathize with Jane, the main
    character, as she dealt with a series of devastating and upsetting complex situations,
    from the overall losing her baby portion to the traumatic sequences in the police
    station where she was sexually molested. There were also certain parts of the film
    where her emotions were a bit blank yet there is a sense of worry and anxiety as the
    viewers watch it. The audience were definitely more open and educated about the
    possibilities and experiences one can have when living in the streets, or just in
    general how dangerous it can be with our society constantly changing everyday.
    Makes them wonder if it is ever safe to go outside alone knowing that there’s people
    performing crimes every time. The film opened up on triggering topics which is why it
    falls under the aforementioned theory. It manages to capture viewers' attention and
    piques their curiosity, causing them to feel connected to the film's themes and—most
    often—grimacing scenes, as well as the actor's representation of a protagonist, in
    order to empathize with themselves, their lives, and their daily lifestyles (such as how
    the movie depicts the way of life of Jane and Aries). On the topic about Structuralist
    Film theory, another movie that I have watched that may also lie under the said
    theory is “Seven Sundays”. The film was directed by Cathy Garcia-Molina who also
    directed other films that can be under the said theory. TThe focus of the film is on
    how family distance may influence relationships and bonds. I chose this movie as
    another reference because of the subtle messages it had, whether they came from
    the characters' portrayals of how they were viewed as children or how they
    communicated their emotions and concerns in a way that the viewers could identify
    with. The movie touched viewers' emotions and inspired individuals to be more
    vulnerable when it comes to families because it depicts family relationships in an
    empathetic way.
