SHAME... Dapat Bang Ikahiya?

Nang ipalabas ang Shame (Regal Films, 1983) , marami ang nagulat sa handog na ito ni Elwood Perez. Taglay ng pelikula ang mga di-mapagpalayang imahen ng kababaihan tulad ni Charley (Claudia Zobel), na naging panggulo sa buhay ng mga lalaki at sa nanahimik na relasyon ng mag-amang Berting (Robert Arevalo) at Nonoy (Patrick de la Rosa) pati ang katawa-tawang pa-intelektuwal ni Dickie (Dexter Doria) ang nahuhumaling na direktor at nagkalinga kay Charley. Bagamat nakasentro ang dulang pampelikula ni Iskho Lopez sa animo boluntaryong pagkilos ni Charley, ang pag-usad ng kuwento ay mahigpit pa ring nakakawing sa mga motibasyong pang-lalaki at maka-lalaki. Pangunahin dito ang panata ni Berting sa pagganap bilang Kristo sa taunang pagtatanghal ng senakulo at ang pagkawasak ng kanyang mga pangarap para sa anak na si Nonoy. Kaakibat nito ang pagsibol ng pagkalalaki ni Nonoy, ang kanyang pakikipagsapalaran sa lungsod, pagmamahal at pagkabigo kay Charley.

Sumusunod ang lente ng kamera sa bawat pitik, galaw ng katawan at mukha ni Claudia Zobel pati na rin ang kanyang mga nakakasalamuha habang ginagaygay nito ang pasikut-sikot ng baryo. Kumunoy ng trahedya ang situwasyon ni Charley lalo pa't tila wala siya ni katiting na kamalayan sa kinalulubugan. Sayang at hindi napangatawanan ng palabas na ito ang diskurso ng naratibo. Mapapansin na pagkatapos maipundar ang milyu, hindi na alam ng direktor kung paano paandarin ang istorya. Sapat nang ipasubo ang bida sa mga kung-anu-anong situwasyong nangangailangan ng paghuhubad. Ngunit maliban sa pagtukoy ng kahinaang ito na siya naman talagang bumalda sa Shame, ibaling na lang natin ang ating pansin sa makapal na tekstura ng pelikulang napapalooban ng mga nakalilibang na sangkap tulad ng maingay na sabunutan, sampalan, iyakan, sigawan at ang walang humpay na hubaran at higit sa lahat, ang malinaw na mensahe. Sa panahong napakahalaga ng midyum ng pelikula upang hindi lamang ipakita ang nangyayari sa buhay kundi magbukas ng mga posibilidad na baguhin at mapaunlad ito, nakakabulag ang mga pelikulang tulad ng Shame na nagkukubli lang sa mga pahayag na makababae ngunit kumukontra naman sa higit na pagpapalaya ng mga kababaihan.

Learn to play and sing the songs that have keept your fondest memories alive! Jingle SongHits Favorites brings you timeless classics that have always warmed our hearts. Let these songs take you back to all those wonderful years. It's yesterday once more.

THE SOUND OF SILENCE
Artist: Simon and Garfunkel

Dm                        C
Hello darkness my old friend
                           Dm
I've come to talk with you again
          F          Bb      F
Because a vision softly creeping
                       Bb       F
Left his seeds while I was sleeping
        Bb                            F
And the vision that was planted in my brain
               Dm   F            C        D          
Still remain          within the sound of silence.

Verse 1:
                             C
In restless dreams I walked alone
                          Dm
Narrow streets of cobbled stone
           F       Bb       F
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
                          Bb       F
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
        Bb                                       F
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
                       Dm   F                 C        Dm
That split the night          and touched the sound of silence.

Verse 2:
                         C
And in the naked light I saw
                          Dm
Ten thousand people maybe more
       F           Bb       F
People talking without speaking
                   Bb        F
People hearing without listening
               Bb                      F
People writing songs that voices never share 
                  Dm   F             C        Dm
And no one dare          disturb the sound of silence

Verse 3:
                        C
Fools said I you do not know
                      Dm
Silence like a cancer grow
        F            Bb          F
Hear my words that I might teach you
                   Bb          F
Take my arm that I might reach you
       Bb                          F
But my words like silent raindrops fell
Dm       F             C       Dm
     And echoed in the well of silence

Verse 4:
                         C
And the people bowed and prayed
                     Dm
To the neon god they made
        F                Bb      F
And the sign flashed out its warning
                     Bb      F
In the words that it was forming

And the sign said 
    Bb                                              F
The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
                     Dm       F                C        Dm
And tenement halls        and whispered in the sound of silence

Can you identify this Makati building?

Our good friend Eric Vasilik has been sharing some really good photos with us here at Nostalgia Manila. Check them out if you haven't seen them, they're fantastic!

Eric's Photos:
Rizal Park, Manila Photos '60s-'80s
Sulo Restaurant, Makati Photos '60s
Rizal Park, Makati, Manila Hotel, American Cemetery, The Army Navy Club Photos '60s-'80s

Now we need a bit of help identifying this building. We're not sure where in Makati these photos were taken, and aren't even sure if the building still exists today. The first photo was taken in the 60's; the cars in the foreground give away the decade this photo was taken. The second photo was taken in the 80's when two floors of the building burned down. Eric's father had an office in the building, and it's been rumored that the cause of the fire was arson.

Does anyone have a clue where in Makati these photos were taken, and the name of the building? Is it still around today?

Super Gover at The Barber Shop Sesame Street Video

Nostalgia Manila is proud to present: The Sesame Street Lunchbox! Featuring video clips of all your favorite scenes from the original Sesame Street series.

Sesame Street played a big role in educating the younger generation during the '70s. Many agree that the original series was far more imaginative and educational compared to the one you see today. This is for everyone who grew up with the original Sesame Street. Enjoy!

Super Gover at The Barber Shop
"Ten wind-up toys!"

Ayaw ni little Willy magpagupit sa barbero dahil akala niya masakit magpagupit ng buhok. Narinig ni Super Grover ang iyak ng bata kaya dumating siya para tulungan ito. Natutunan ni Willy at ni Super Grover sa mabait na barbero, na hindi nga naman masakit magpagupit ng buhok. Dahil napanuod mo ito noong bata ka, hindi ka na natatakot pag binibisita mo ang barbero.
