EOE, M/F/Disability/Vet SENIORS AND RESIDENTS OF North/Northeast Portland Also Encouraged To Apply Decem ber 31, 2014 from page 9 is a Brit, Sean Ellis, who had never been to the Philippines before visit ing with a friend not long before writing the screenplay. He wrote the film in English, and then hired Fili pino actors, who translated most of it into Tagalog. It's an interesting and significant choice for the film maker to direct the film in a language that he doesn't speak, and it contrib utes to the sense that the film is sunk into Filipino culture. While that de cision may have dimmed the film's commercial prospects, it makes for a much more authentic experience than the usual Hollywood fare. The choice to shoot in Tagalog also feels more respectful. We in the so-called "first world" don't spend much time thinking about the experi ences of people at the margins of our own society, let alone those in parts of the world most harshly affected by globalization and power imbalances. If you added up their numbers, people at the margins far outnumber those whose cultures dominate movie screens and other barometers of at tention. This film presents such a visceral look at the realities of life for people like Oscar and Mai that I felt absolutely wrung out after two hours watching it. I also felt a bit ashamed to think of how much stress I experi enced merely affording some atten tion, in the comfort of a movie theater, T erry F amily F u n era l H om e to experiences that people actually manage to survive, if at all, only at great personal cost. The filmmaker has made some smart plotting choices that aid re flection on what options really exist for smart and good people like Os car and Mai. It doesn't seem too much to ask us to reflect on what the stakes truly are for people realistic enough to discern that the survival o f everyone they love is not in the cards that life has dealt them.
