Marianne de la Riva ... Evelyn's Mother I really felt the seventies in this film. Too bad, this one didn't qualify for an Oscar Award in 2002. But it doesn't matter at all. This is really and excellent film. Vilma Santos once again acted like a superior actress who kbows no bounds. Christopher de Leon was okay. All their children did a good job acting. I also admire the make up designers of the movie who made everything fit to the seventies: the house, the furniture, the clothes, the hairstyle, the fashion and etc. I also liked the ending as well and the soundtrack song. It was really touching.People who like based-on-history films should really watch this one.

Dekada '70 is the story of a family caught in the middle of the tumultuous decade of the 1970's, which chronicles a middle-

class Filipino family who, over the space of a decade, become aware of the political policies that have ultimately led to repression and a state of martial law. Vilma Santos stars as Amanda, who realizes the implications of living within a dictatorship after sorting out the contradictory reactions of her husband and five sons. Julian, her husband, supports his eldest son's efforts to rail against the government while simultaneously refusing to condone Amanda's wish to find a job. Her first son (Piolo Pascual)was an activist whose concerns is about the freedom of our country,the second son (Carlos Agassi) is in the US navy. The third son (Marvin Augustin) writes illegal political exposes. The fourth (Danilo Barrios) fell victim to a corrupt police department, and her youngest (John W. Sace) is still a boy. The oppressiveness of the Marcos regime made people become more radical. This shaping of the decade are all witnessed by the female character, Amanda Bartolome, a mother of five boys. While Amanda's sons grow, form individual beliefs and lead different lives, Amanda reaffirms her identity to state her stand as a Filipino citizen, mother and woman. Dekada '70 introduces the new generation of Filipino readers to the story of a family of a particular time in Philippine history. It tells about,A mother raising Her child in times were there is no assurance.

Si Amanda Bartolome (Vilma Santos) ay isang babaeng nagsisikap matunton at maunawaan ang tunay na kahulugan ng pagiging isang babae sa gitna ng masalimuot na kalagayan ng bansa noong dekada '70 sa ilalim ng Batas Militar. Siya ay kumikilos bilang isang ina (sa limang anak na pulos lalaki) at asawa ayon sa dikta ng lipunan at ng asawa niyang si Julian (Christopher de Leon). Bagama't tradisyonal, umiiral sa pamilyang Bartolome ang kalayaan sa pagpapahayag ng damdamin kung kaya't lumaki ang kanilang mga anak na mulat ang kamalayan sa nangyayari sa lipunan. Dahil dito'y sumali sa kilusang makakaliwa ang kanilang panganay na si Jules (Piolo Pascual), naging makata at manunulat naman si Emman (Marvin Agustin), at nahilig sa musikang rock n roll si Jason (Danilo Barrios). Si Gani (Carlos Agassi) naman ay malayang pinasok ang pagiging US Navy bagama't taliwas ito sa paniniwala ng mga kapatid. Nanatiling matatag ang pamilya Bartolome sa kabila ng napakaraming pagsubok ng panahon. Dito rin nasubok ang katatagan ng pagsasama nina Amanda at Julian, kung saan si Amanda ay nagnais na matunton ang sarili bilang isang babae, malayo sa dikta ng lipunan at ng asawa. Ang Dekada '70 ay isang mahusay na adaptasyon sa pelikula ng nobela nitong may parehong titulo. Napanatili ang kaluluwa ng nobela sa pelikula sa kabila ng limitasyon ng pelikula bilang isang audio-visual na medium. Marahil, nakatulong ng malaki ang pagkakaroon ng iisang manunulat lamang. Naging maayos ang takbo ng pelikula na tulad sa nobela nitong nahati sa mga taon ng

dekada '70. Mahusay ang pagkakaganap ng mga pangunahing tauhan (maliban kay Carlos Agassi) na nakapagbigay hininga sa mga tauhang noo'y nababasa lamang. Naibalik ng pelikula ang larawan ng dekada '70 sa mga eksena nitong nagpapakita ng mga demonstrasyon, protesta at rallies na tunay na nangyari noong panahon na iyon. Ang musika at tunog ay madalas na akma at nagpapaigting sa emosyong nais ipahatid ng pelikula. Naging mahina lamang ang disenyong pamproduksiyon ng pelikula na hindi naging masusi sa make-up, at kasuotan ng mga tauhan sa pawang hindi parating umaangkop sa panahon. AngDekada '70 ay isang pelikulang puno ng kahulugan, lalim at pagtatanong sa tunay na kahulugan at kalagayan ng kababaihan sa lipunan. Bagama't maliwanag na ang manunulat na si Lualhati Bautista ay nagmumula sa feministang pananaw, hindi naging radikal ang kanyang pagtrato sa isyu ng kababaihan. Sa halip mas pinaigting pa ng pelikula ang kahalagan ng papel na ginagampanan ng isang ina sa pamilya. Mamumulat ang mga magulang na makakapanood ng Dekada '70 sa tunay na papel na kanilang ginagamapanan sa mga anak. Sa kabilang banda'y mas mauunawaan ng mga anak ang kanilang mga magulang na nagsusumikap na maging gabay sa anumang kanilang naisin sa buhay. Sinasabi ng pelikula na walang perpektong magulang o anak sa anumang panahon, ngunit mananatiling matatag ang isang pamilyang may tunay na pagmamahal at pagmamalasakit hindi lamang sa kanilang sarili kundi maging sa ibang tao at sa bayan.

law. Vilma Santos stars as Amanda, who realizes the implications of living within a dictatorship after sorting out the contradictory reactions of her husband and five sons.

MORAL OF THE MOVIE: It’s a film that full of meanings,and question about the standing of the Filipino women during Martial Law.Personally by watching this film,I feel so much engrossed and interested ,because its historical and really happened nowadays.I got inspired of the role of Vilma Santos as a “meek” mother,patient and understanding one,whose latet,stand with her dignity not because she’s a mother,but because of Her “voice for freedom” as a person,which no one could measure and explain how it feels to be yourself,and do good “deeds” for our country.
