Topic: The Nora Aunor Thread

[loonzhaus]

correct ka diyan friendship! bigla ko rin naalala 'yung Rock en Roll... pinaka-favorite ko 'yung last episode the 70's with Mark Gil. gustung-gusto ko 'yung scene na nagti-trip si Mark then na-imagine niya si Ate Guy na kinakanta ang A Little Help From My Friends ng The Beatles... sayang di ko napanood ang Kuh By Special Arrangement. anyway kinanta din naman nila 'yung Beh! Buti Nga! as a part of their Manila Sound Medley sa Power of Two di ba?

'yung sa kuh before, it was in video form din na halos may pagkakatulad sa ginawa nila ate guy sa Ibalik ang Swerti......sa Channel 13 ko ba napanuod ito?  hindi ko na rin matandaan, hehehe....tumatanda na me talaga.....

'yung sa kuh before, it was in video form din na halos may pagkakatulad sa ginawa nila ate guy sa Ibalik ang Swerti......sa Channel 13 ko ba napanuod ito?  hindi ko na rin matandaan, hehehe....tumatanda na me talaga.....   

so para palang music video 'yung ginawa ni Kuh. mas gusto ko pa rin 'yung kina Ate Guy sa Ibalik Ang Swerti dahil they shot it in a studio with an all white background. magandang tingnan sa screen. nakakatuwa pa dahil si Ike Lozada ang parang professor nila at silang lahat ay mga estudyante.

Our deepest condolences to the family of Peter Gan who passed away yesterday. He produced some of Ate Guy's memorable movies including Bakit Bughaw Ang Langit?, Nakaw Na Pag-ibig & Gaano Kita Kamahal to name a few.

Hi, Brod Jojo!

Wow, wala akong masabi besides reiterating the cliche of my gratitude. I wish there's another way of saying, "Thank You!" All I can do is offer prayers for you. Excited na akong mapanood ang mga ipinadala mo.

Congrats din sa ating lahat dito for the recent onslaught of recognition that Ms. Nora has received so far this year: 1) The Woman Today magazine citation as one of the Five Women of Substance in the country 2) the S Magazine award as Actress of the Year on top of the laurels from Balatca, Gawad Tanglaw (and hopefully Pasado, Enpress, Star, and Urian...)

Indeed, 2005 will be another banner year for our Superstar with prestige projects in the offing.

God bless us all.

Our deepest condolences to the family of Peter Gan who passed away yesterday. He produced some of Ate Guy's memorable movies including Bakit Bughaw Ang Langit?, Nakaw Na Pag-ibig & Gaano Kita Kamahal to name a few.

Peter Gan? Wow.

Sad, sad case of a producer willing to take real risks, coming up with real works of art who had to leave it all behind.

He had balls, that man.

[jdv1229]

Peter Gan? Wow.

Sad, sad case of a producer willing to take real risks, coming up with real works of art who had to leave it all behind.

He had balls, that man.

you know what Noel? i called General Norie Sayo Ate Guy's manager to tell them about the sad news... when i talked to her i can sense the quiver in her voice when i told her that Peter Gan passed away. i could tell that she was really saddened by the news.

he was a risk taker with projects such as Bakit Bughaw which really had no commercial appeal and was killed at the box office by Mga Basang Sisiw but inspite of his loss he still went on and produced quality films... he will surely be missed!

In defense of Nora Aunor

Posted 09:34pm (Mla time) Mar 04, 2005
By Nestor Torre
Inquirer News Service



Editor's Note: Published on page A2-2 of the March 5, 2005 issue of the Philippine Daily Inquirer

NORA Aunor's loyal followers are ticked off by "reports" about the superstar's "woeful" existence in the United States. They include her allegedly being so broke that she is living in the homes of fans and borrowing money from them; her losing a lot of money in casinos; the immigration service being on the lookout for her for overstaying, etc.

What irks Nora's fans even more is the way that these "reports" are being made, practically delighting in her misery. How gleefully cynical can you get?

To balance the picture, Nora's friends hasten to debunk the rumors: Her career may not be at its peak, but she's enjoying herself in the US, performing in shows for Filipino communities, and savoring her respite from Manila's b**chy show biz scene.

Public scrutiny
In the States, Nora can go back to enjoying the simple things in life, away from nitpicking public scrutiny and comment. This may be something her cynical and materialistic detractors will never understand,    
but there it is.

Nora's defenders also nix the rumors about Nora living off her fans, pointing out that she has bought a home in California. As for her lack of income, she's earning from the shows she does, and has in fact been booked for more performances until August.

For our part, we are saddened by this latest controversy in Nora's life, because it shows a grievous lack of respect for her. Many thoughtless people with the memory of a flea and the gratitude of a shark appear to have forgotten Nora's many exceptional contributions to Philippine entertainment.

As a very young singer, she touched millions of listeners. With her memorable big-screen performances, she set such a high standard that some film buffs even want to eventually reward with a National Artist title.

To us, however, her most important contribution was her practically single-handed feat of neutralizing the colonial mentality in show business. Before she became a big star, most of our entertainment luminaries were tisoy types. After Nora made it, more Filipino-looking talents were also able to do well in show business.

Self-esteem
Corollary to this, Nora gave millions of "masa" movie fans somebody they could truly empathize with. She "represented" them proudly and well, and thus added substantially to their self-esteem.

These are major contributions, so people who now try to ridicule Nora and b**chingly delight in her "problems" should go fly a kite--preferably at the Arctic circle.

Naglalayag (Angora Films, directed by Maryo J. de los Reyes and written by Irma Dimaranan) is an insightful and heartfelt presentation of the life of a Court Of Appeals Justice, who finds herself in the dilemma of dealing with the intensely personal issues of being a woman, mother and lover at the same time. The film makes few precious concessions to today's formulaic approaches to film storytelling and production and yet manages to affect both heart and mind of its viewers by the strength of its convictions and brave sympathy for the plight of its lead character.

Nora Aunor delivers a remarkably competent and mature performance, exhibiting not only skill and talent but fine dramatic sensibility as well. Aunor envinces an acting style that is sure keen and affecting. Her fortitude and daring to star in this type of film, manifests rare artistic insight into the problematics of social change. In the much talked about funeral scene, Aunor saturates the screen with the pain and courage of a woman on the brink of the darkest despair. Yul Servo's smoldering passion and repressed aspirations lift the film to its heights, his performance in fact maps out the film's journey from the thickets of conflict to a most soulful destination. Servo avoids the well trodden path of facile tearjerker techniques and cogently reiterates the tenderness, helplessness, violation and rage that consume his character.

The writing merits of Naglalayag offers solid characterization that sustains momentum and surges into a tour de force conclusion. The screenplay's achievement rests on its skillful appropriation of the conventions of a commercial feature in its earnest effort to come up with a truly artistic, purposive and serious motion picture. The film moreover exposes the complex processes by which people are lured into, weakened and trapped in a web of crime and poverty, from which death becomes the only possible escape.
Cinematographer Odyssey Flores whose well controlled camera work is marked by unerring directorial command and precision. Jess Navarro's astute editing work has a keen sense of dramatic tension. Maryo J. de los Reyes' competent direction painstakingly deals with the discourse of love and the pleasure romance, of true love even. The film retraces the steps of this form of journey which gives rise to fluid feelings and emotions of displacement and rebuilding, of leaving and finding, of loss and fulifillment.

Naglalayag is a film which tells its story with the cinematic aesthetic in mind and heart. The film is filled with emotional rigor through which the affairs of the heart are dealt with, and dealt with intelligently. Naglalayag tackles a complex range of human relations premised on romance but problematizes it quite so rigorously so that love, though central in the lives of the characters is continually reread and therefore rewritten.

bakit naman ayaw mong matuloy ang trip mo sa Shanghai? sayang naman... kahit may work na involved at least you'll be out of the country... you deserve a little break marami ka nang nagawa for the church.

take care always sis!

huwag mo na silang alalahanin this year... for sure naman may natutunan sila from you on how to handle the way of the cross... this is also a chance for you to rest kahit work related pa rin ang pagpunta mo sa Shanghai (ala Madonna) remember Shanghai Surprise?

salamat nga pala for texting the winners sa PASADO kanina... it really made my day!

take care sis & God Bless!

Natatanging Artista ng Taon                    -           Sharon Cuneta

Natatanging Guro ng Taon                      -           Maryo J. Delos Reyes

 

Layunin ng PASADO na pag-ugnayin ang akademya at industriya ng pelikula.  Objective rin ng grupo na patatagin, pagtibayin at pagyamanin ang diwa ng PASADO – makilala ang kahalagahan ng pelikula sa pagtuturo at magamit ito sa pag-aaral ng mga estudyante.  Ang tatlong tinanghal na PinakaPASADOng Pelikula ay siyang patuloy na pag-aaralan sa mga pamantasang kasapi sa PASADO all over the country.  Sa ngayon, may pitumpung miyembro na ang grupo.

 

Sa mga magtatanong, ang Natatanging Artista ng Taon ay ibinibigay ng PASADO sa artistang kanilang unang pinarangalan bago ito napansin sa ibang bansa.  Ito ay isang special award bilang pagpapatunay na tama ang pananaw at paraan ng pagsuri ng PASADO.  Si Sharon ay gagawaran ng Natatanging Artista dahil siya ay unang piniling PinakaPASADOng Aktres ng grupo para sa Crying Ladies bago siya nagwagi sa Brussels International Film Festival para sa nasabi ring pelikula.  Eto ‘yung panahong walang ibang nakapansin kay Sharon para sa pelikulang nabanggit.  Mahal nga raw ni Direk Maryo ang grupo dahil isa ito sa mga naunang nagparangal sa Magnifico bago pa ito umani ng papuri sa ibang bansa.  Pararangalan din bilang Natatanging Guro si Direk Maryo sa taong ito bilang recognition sa naitulong nito academy.

 

Pinabulaanan din ng PASADO na ang grupo ay Vilma Santos Country.  Katunayan, inamin nila na LANDSLIDE ang pagkapanalo ni Ate Guy sa taong ito.  Itinanggi rin nila na binalak nilang magbigay ng tie sa Best Actress to play safe.  They reiterated na paninindigan nila ang kanilang desisyon sa kanilang list of winners.   Binanggit din ng isang miyembro sa forum na makailang-ulit siyang tinetext ng isang Willy sa grupo ni Vilma (eto rin ba ‘yung nabalitang nagte-text sa isang YCC member nuon?) tungkol sa kanilang resulta nguni’t hindi nga niya masagot dahil sa presscon pa ito ia-announce.  Katunayan, inimbitahan niya ang mga ito upang dumalo rin sa nasabing presscon nguni’t hindi na sila sumagot nang malamang dadalo ang ICON.  Segurista ang grupo at ayaw yatang dumalo kung hindi sila siguradong pasado sa PASADO.  Samantalang pinuri naman ng nasabi ring miyembro ang ating moderator na si Vonnel dahil nang i-text daw niya ito kung gusto nitong dumalo sa presscon, nag-text back ito ng “Win or lose, susuporta kami sa grupo ninyo” without any inquiry kung pasado ba si Ate Guy o hindi – ang galing galing mo talaga kapatid!

 

Nakausap din ng ICON ang isa sa officers ng ENPRESS, si Ms. Nora Calderon at ito mismo ang nagpapatunay na hindi totoo ang insidenteng may mga nagmurang Noranians sa kanila nu’ng nakaraang Sabado.  Nagpasalamat pa nga ito sa suportang ibinigay ng mga Noranians sa ENPRESS at kay Judy Ann Santos.

 

Muli, nagpapasalamat ang ICON sa PASADO sa karangalang ibinigay nila kay Ate Guy.  Salamat po kay Prof. Emmanuelle Gonzales, Chairman; Dr. Letty Pagkalinawan, President; Prof. Victor Tomas, Board Secretary; Dr. Lakandupil Garcia, Chairman ng Film Review at Prof. Elma Betudio.  Ang adviser ng PASADO ay si Ms. Boots Anson-Roa.
