The movie Ang Larawan is an adaptation of the story The Portrait of the Filipino as an Artist written by National Artist Nick Joaquin, an honor given by the government to outstanding artists.
The story is about two sisters Candida and Paula who were lucky to have been born to wealthy parents during the pre-second world war. They have grown to be decent middle aged women although sheltered that they struggle through life hindered by morals, customs and traditions. They blame their father that they do not have life skills to live independently nor they have the social skills to be married to wealthy men. Their father a noted painter paints his obra maestra for his two daughters.
He gets bedridden from an accident when he fell from the balcony to the ground. An article written by a frenchman about the painting drew droves of onlookers. He painted Aineid carrying his father on his back.
First of all I would pay to see Bernardo Bernardo sing. I have read this story in my college days. I guess i know how to kill rats, the skill of Candida. Joanna Ampil is impressive however Rachel Alejandro shone the brightest at the end. I love the music throughout although the screenplay has to improve. SHOW THE GD PAINTING! It also irritated me that they shot mostly on the house and their father showed up only at the last part. What was that? I was wondering what was Mikee Cojuangco's role is until the credits rolled. How unimaginative.
As a screenwriter myself i suggest you mention what were those reporters doing outside the house. Then repeat. Repetition is the key to understanding.
