A Film Review of “Telenobela
ni Juan at Luzviminda” and “Hanapbuhay”
(Comparison and
Contrast)
Both short films were directed by
well-known film makers such as Emerson Reyes and Henry Frejas. For complexity,
I can say that Telenobela ni Juan at Luzviminda is far more complex than
Hanapbuhay because it shows many symbolisms which are not easy to figure out.
Unlike the first one, Hanapbuhay can be easily understood by ordinary people although
it will lead you to a wrong expectation like what happened to me and most of
classmates because it didn’t follow the mainstream format, A B C.
In terms of originality, both films
were created based on trending social issues today and from the point of view
of both film makers so I would say that both short films came with their own
originality.
For coherence, Telenobela ni Juan
at Luzviminda shows mainly graphic arts and as what I have mentioned earlier,
these graphic arts also shows many symbolisms unlike Hanapbuhay which do not
contain any. Both films can drive you emotionally because of its artistry and
creativity.
All in all, both short films were good and are presented in a way
that audience will love it and isn't boring. Director Emerson Reyes and
director Henry Frejas deserves a round of applause for creating these appealing
short films.
