Sa Pusod ng Dagat

Ang pelikulang Pilipino na Sa Pusod ng Dagat, na humigit-kumulang maisasalin sa Ingles bilang “In the Navel of the Sea”, ay pinagbibidahan nina Elizabeth Oropesa, Chin Chin Gutierrez, at Jomari Yllana. Dinerek ni Marilou Diaz-Abaya ang pelikula noong taong 1998 (Isang libo siyam na raan at siyamnapu’t walo), na nakatanggap ng maraming mga gantimpala at mga parangal sa buong mundo.

Itinakda ang pelikula sa isang malayong isla noong de kada sikwenta, at si Pepito, na ginampanan ni Yllana, ay pinag-aaralan ang hanapbuhay ng kanyang ina. Ang ina ng batang lalaki ay ginampanan ni Oropesa, at siya ang tanging komadrona sa komunidad. Habang bata pa lang siya, ikinatutuwa niya ang pag-aaral ng hanapbuhay ng kanyang ina, ngunit habang tumatanda siya, mas sumasalungat na siya dahil naging tradisyonal na papel ng isang babae na tulungang manganak ang iba pang babae. Gayunpaman, sinasabi din sa tradisyon na ang papel ng komadrona ay ipapasa mula sa isang henerasyon patungo sa isa pang henerasyon, at si Pepito ay ang nag-iisang anak.

Sa pagpapatuloy ng takbo ng pelikula, ang ina ni Pepito, isang byuda, ay nabuntis ng isang lalaki na naging matalik na kaibigan ng kanyang asawa, na nagkataong may asawa na. Sinubukan niyang ipalaglag ang bata dahil magdadala ito ng labis na kahihiyan sa kanilang pamilya, lalong-lalo na sa kanyang anak na si Pepito. Walang kabuluhan ang lahat ng kanyang pagtatangka sa pagpapalaglag, gayunman, kaya naman humantong siya sa pagpatay sa sarili upang iligtas sa kahihiyan ang kanyang anak sa pagkakaroon ng kapatid na putok sa buho.

Pagkatapos ng kamatayan ng kanyang ina, si Pepito ay kalaunan nahulog sa pag-ibig sa isang guro, na may asawa na din. Syempre ang ibig sabihin nito hindi maaaring magtagal ang relasyon na iyon, ngunit sa pamamagitan ng kanyang mga karanasan sa relasyong iyon at iba pang mga pangyayari sa pelikula, kalaunan ay hinarap niya at tinanggap ang kanyang papel bilang "komadrona" ng komunidad.

Sa Pusod ng Dagat (In the Navel of the Sea)

The Filipino movie Sa Pusod ng Dagat, which roughly translates into English as In the Navel of the Sea, stars Elizabeth Oropesa, Chin Chin Gutierrez, and Jomari Yllana. Marilou Diaz-Abaya directed the 1998 movie, which received numerous awards and honors around the world.

The film is set on a distant island in the 1950s, and Pepito, who is played by Yllana, is learning his mother's trade. The boy's mother is played by Oropesa, and she is the community's only midwife. While he is still a young boy, he enjoys learning her trade, but the older he gets, the more he resists because it has traditionally been a woman's role to help other women deliver babies. However, tradition also said that the role of midwife should be passed down from generation to generation, and Pepito is an only child.

Through the course of the movie, Pepito's mother, a widow, becomes pregnant by the man who had been her husband's best friend, who also happens to be married. She attempts to abort the baby because it would bring a great deal of shame on their family, especially on her son Pepito. Her abortion attempts were all in vain, however, so she ends up killing herself to spare her son the shame of having a sibling born out of wedlock.

After his mother's death, Pepito eventually falls in love with a teacher, who is also married. Of course this means that the relationship cannot last, but through his experiences with that relationship and other events in the film, he eventually comes to terms with and embraces his role as the community's "midwife."
