Aerial view of Manila, dull and Morne with its sea of tin roofs and electrical lines entangled, opens Khavn dela Cruz and sons of God by Michael Noer. Isn't Mondomanila, exist a filled waste metropolis filled with joy, living situations poorest can only be composed by Khavn. It's of Manila, the city where the stories of migrants fatedly sad Lino Brocka films are defined, the city where the stories of men of the brilliant Mendoza cinema verite corrupt and corruptible. However, Khavn and Noer, a Danish filmmaker instead of likewise in the desperation of the severely depleted housing aims at their hope thriving. From heaven high, they lower their vision of an annual event, the Festival of the black Nazarene, where most of the faithful, who are also probably the poorest, in Manila are converging within the walls of the Church in Quiapo to relay their desires and needs be a so-called replica ancient of Jesus Christ, darkened by time and circumstances. To call this disorganized gathering the cluelessly well, inexplicably ugly evil predator and the Carnival is an understatement. Son of God, transported on a throne decorated, is paraded in the grounds of the Festival by two bulky men wearing masks ceremony. Picture is too ridiculous to be believed, but the buffet table of Jesus-bad imitations made desperate men and women whose miracles hunger can only match their hunger for real food, it should be, right, won for itself a multitude of followers.He has also acquired a critique, a documentary filmmaker (superbly played by Noer) whose disbelief invites to follow the self-proclaimed worker miracle to reveal at the end of account fraud think is happening. It raises issues of son of God. all leading the response it seeks, the son of God is the Act of money. Yet sons of God replied their with monstrous reverence, dodging any involvement of ill motive. It documents the miracles occur too. A mother has her sick baby unconscious. When the son of God touches the baby, baby breaks out in movement. The lines are blurred. Faith to faith is tested. Is the son of God the son of God? the question is of course only a dilemma for the unfaithful filmmaker. Khavn viewers and Noer are registered to deliberate on the merits of the son of God. It is false, an actor pulled from somewhere in the city to be part of one of the biggest farce in Philippine cinema. Khavn and Noer places emphasis on the word "mock" mock-umentary and colours of the film, from beginning to end, with an attitude of malicious, a noticeable notion that the entire movie feeds not by a desire to be seriously sacrilege, but by a desire to have fun by pushing holes in both the faithful and the infidel. Indeed, the film is stimulated by the manifest flavored who works as its cornerstone. More hilarious movie moments occur when all pretenses to move closer to truth and reality are thrown out the window, such as when a real heart glass jar inside is brought to the attention of the son of God to make it his own faith issue him leading a quest where he dresses donations which could be a suit in the war stars George Lucas to climb a mountain to resume his faith and his healing powers. Filmed in the same style as dramas in time real brilliant Mendoza, images acquire more importance comic, life of Brian's Terry Gilliam has totally funny not only due to the played jokes, but also because he was shot and executed as a Christ of extravagant Zifferelli - God pageant.Son, more everything works like a humorous satire still shallow on the ludicrousness of being too faithful offers mechanical why poor Filipinos and faith are not strange associates. Faith exists here because there is a need of it in the absence of everything else. Faith is equivalent to hope hope which equals happiness despite having nothing. In the eyes of a foreign filmmaker who has everything, this immense faith is odd, especially when there is no display of his presence. What else is faith then when the world provides abundance? The miracle of the film is that, in their exercise of turning derision faith, Khavn Noer, intentionally or not, has preached the truth.(Cross-published in the lessons of school of inattention.)
