I have watched an interesting film so I am going to share my review of it with you here.
ユネスコの世界遺産として登録された、棚田郡でしられるバナウェからのある家族は、生計を立てるためにメトロマニラまで上京しました。
A family from the province of Banaue, which is widely known for the Rice Terraces and registered as a UNESCO World Heritage site, came to down to Metro Manila to make a living.
Oscar, the father of the family as well as a farmer who used to serve as a solider for four years, was hired by an Armed Truck Company after his struggling in Metro Manila.
彼の命はたった一日で500ペソの価値、彼はその仕事で危険に晒らされるなど知る由もありませんでした。
He never knew that he would be exposed to the dangers of his job, and the equivalent of his life is just 500 pesos a day.
彼の妻マイはようやくあるバーでダンサーとしての仕事の機会を得るが、それは彼女にとって望まない仕事でした。しかし、夫の収入だけでは生活できないので、そのバーで働くことを決めました。
His wife, Mai, also grabbed the opportunity to work as a dancer in a bar, which was an undesirable job for her. However, since the family cannot survive with only her husband's income, she decided to work at the bar.
この映画のイギリス人監督であるシーン・エリスは写真家でもあります。なのでこの映画は芸術的要素も含まれています。映画冒頭シーンでの棚田郡の景色は息を呑むほど芸術そのものでした。
Sean Ellis, the British director of this film, is also a photographer, which explains the artistic aspects of the film. The landscape of the Rice Terraces shown at the very first scene of the film was a breathtaking art itself.
しかし、この映画はもっとメトロマニラの暗い部分、金、貪欲、性産業、裏切り、そして殺人などを焦点に当てています。
But, the film was more focused on the dark side of Metro Manila; money, greed, the sex industry, betrayal, and murder.
オスカーは純粋で忠誠な男性として描かれていますが、同時に騙されやすい男性としても描かれており、その性格はトラブルの元になっていました。
Oscar was portrayed as an innocent and loyal man, and at the same time, as a naive man, a personality that caused him trouble most of the time.
時々貧困は人々から理性を奪います。それは犯罪に繋がるような破滅的な行動を誘発させるかもしれません。
Sometimes poverty deprives people of reason, which might induce desperate actions that would end up to committing a crime.
私たちは貧困から抜け出すために犯罪を犯した人々をどう裁くことができるのだろうか?生きるために娼婦になった人々をどう判断できるのだろうか?あなたはこれらを悪と見なしますか?それとも善と見なしますか?
How can we judge those people who committed a crime to escape from poverty? How should we judge people who became prostitutes for a living. Do you see these things as vice or virtue?
This film makes me think and poses a lot of questions at me.
最近の見た映画の中で、一番素晴らしい映画でしょう。
The best movie among the recent ones that I have watched so far.
METRO MANILA
