Critical Experience

Sometimes, actors put in much effort to make sure their scenes come out realistic and believable. Today’s viewers are always quick to lambast or make fun of poor acting. Harsh memes and tweets will subsequently flood social media and actors involved cannot really do much to stop such embarrassment. Hence, production heads must ensure that actors and other production aspects meet standards.

Meeting acting standards was not even a problem when the cast of a forthcoming movie was being planned. Award Winner (AW) and Tested Talent (TT) signed up and the production team was elated that the two accepted their roles. Thus, acting was not going to be a problem, as the two can deliver. Both have done many roles that tested the limits of their skills. Moreover, beyond their professional skills, their personal experiences have contributed to the depth of their acting.

A major scene was rolling and AW and TT faced their roles with professionalism. Suddenly, TT screamed “Cut!” and the production stopped. TT burst into tears and the shoot was stopped. One of the heads talked to TT and tried to pacify her. TT said that she felt violated, as AW started mashing her breast and touching her privates too realistically. Although she knew the sensitivity of a rape scene, she was shocked as AW seemed to be doing the movements intentionally.

AW said that he was instructed to make the scene as realistic as possible and his actions were done with no other intentions. As a veteran actor, he knew how to breathe life into a role. Then, he added that TT was exaggerating her claim. No one among his previous leading ladies had ever complained that he took advantage of his role.

After discussions, TT stood her ground and said she will no longer finish the movie and will file a case against AW. The producers said TT can do whatever she wants and they will file a case of breach of contract if she refuses to fulfill the terms. Thus, the incident became “his word against her word.”

The incident reached TT’s relative, who has a name and reputation in the entertainment industry, and she was very furious. AW is a well-known actor and is among the respected ones in the industry. Although AW is not perfect, the relative could not understand why AW behaved that way toward TT. Thus, she has expressed her support once TT decides to take the legal route. So far, nothing of the case has been heard, as the fate of the movie is up in the air.

  1. Not sure who are they, but for sensitive scenes, shouldn't they discuss this first with each other? At least for the actress to know beforehand what to expect, and for the actor to know the limits or boundaries of what he can do with the actress?

    1. True - nasa contract dapat kung saan lang sya pwede hawakan, pano hawakan. Even sa angles and what shots can be included in the movie - like right cheek lang. Back shot lang. But it's a very misogynist industry so this isn't surprising

    2. Meh, she read the script di ba. She knew what the scene was about.

    3. 2:10 Wala naman sa script Ang pagtouch sa private parts. You can act a rape scene without being physically violating the woman. Kahit naman Ang pagbubugbog hindi kailangan totohanin

    4. Binabasa ko ang comments. Halatang may pakawalang troll/s ang camp ni AW dito. 🤨 Wala pa nga masiadong details kung pano siya hinawakan sa privates, pero kamping kampi na agad sa actor. Halatang halata ang mga kampon dito.

    2. Di ba usually may cover talaga nilalagay sa breasts and vajayjay areas when it comes to sensitive scenes like these? Wonder why wala nilagay si TT.

      She should proceed with the filing of the case. Sexual harassment yan.

    3. @ sept 25 2:53. Yes may covers talaga pero I doubt naka topless siya o ano, we don’t that here di gaya ng other countries or back in the seiko film days. The way I see it si TT ang nag isip ng malisya. The director nga di nag pa hinto eh, siya lang. Sana d siya pumayag s rape scene kung ganyan pala siya. 🤦🏻‍♂️

      Delete
    4. May linagay for sure pero she felt that he was too rough on her even if the usapan was to make it realistic. Ngayon she wants to sue him? Ano ba talaga? Diba pinaguusapan yun eksene before the shoot? Tas pag ayaw mo na kakasuhan mo nalang? Ganun ganun lang?

  3. if the actress felt something was wrong to the point of cutting the scene and crying, then there was something. the producers couldve supported her a little bit more instead of threatening to sue also..

    6. When you accept a role that calls for a sensitive scene, kasama ba doon na totohanin kang ma rape?

      So kung kasama sa role na bubugbugin ka, totohanan na pagsusuntukin ka hanggang dumugo ka ng totoo?
      Obviously, you just post so people will notice you and reply to your post, is it not so?

    7. Uy wow ha, just to make it realistic parang totohanin na? At failings pa talaga ng babae yan? That's the failing of the production staff. A lot of such scenes can be done artistically without the real thing. Being violated is a traumatic experience. No excuse is acceptable for that.

  13. I'm a feminist and I support women's right, but this makes no sense! Wasn't it discussed before the scene? So, alam na ni girl na guy will touch her, pero feeling niya medyo rough si guy kahit ang instructions ay to make it look as realistic as possible. Tapos ngayon umayaw si girl at gusto kasuhin si guy? Wow ha, she can quit the role kung ayaw nya talaga, but suing someone because he was instructed to touch her at ALAM NIYA NA HAHAWAKAN DIN SIYA abay mali dito si girl ah? Ano naman ikakaso nya ky guy?

    1. She has expectations that it wouldn't be that to the extent where she will feel violated. Even if they agreed on the scene, once a person feels umcomfortable and violated, she or even he has a right to say NO. You are being part of the problem if you justify such dirty advances on people.

  14. I'm for the actress. given that it's a role that they have to portray, pero may kanya kanyang limitation yung tao. kung pra sa ibang actress na nksama na ni AW ok lang yung realistic acting niya, kung pra kay TT is sobra, den sobra. any emotional and physical turmoil is subjective. hindi porke sa iba is ok, ok na din sa iba.

Sobra na siguro yung ginawa ni AW to the point na maiyak pa si TT. To think na alam nya na sexual yung scene. Dinismiss agad nila yung feelings ni girl

  21. actors- acting nga eh. if you can't deliver the role realistically without resorting to actually doing the act eh di kung Sino na lang na tao nilagay diyan dahil di na kakailanganin umarte nun dahil totohanan na. ang dami na ganitong excuse ngayon na kesyo kailangan realistic kaya tinototohanan. kung tototohanin sabihin sa co-actor Hindi ganyan. pati director dito parang may pagkukulang.

  23. Sa mga nagtatanong bakit di kinampihan ng director ang actress - hindi si direk ang batayan kung may abuse na nagamit. And besides, the instruction came from the director so naturally hindi sya kakampi sa babae. He's a douche. Talentless hack na di kaya magdirect ng rape scene without actual rape taking place. That means voyeur si direk and hindi totoong director.

  24. Sa mga nagsasabi na agad dapat paniwalaan ang babaeng nag-akusa ng sexual harassment at yung mga di naniniwala ay bumalik sa 1890s, at yunh mga nagdudunong dunungan sa batas dyan, makinig kayo, kahit kailan di maluluma ang presumption of innocence.

    Binigyan ng role si lalake na kelangan nya gampanan. Heto si babae at willing sa scene. Kung ginawa lang ng lalake ang inutos sa kanya ng director eh unfair naman na kasuhan sya. Dapat gumawa muna ng written limitations si babae bago nagshoot para may notice naman yung kapareha nya kung anong bagay ang di nya pwede gawin

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Your mindset is absurd. That fact that she felt violated should not have been dismissed. Realistic portrayal does not need to be doing the act 100% true. There's what we call movie magic or even making it look real but not actually doing the deed. It means the actor intended to do it. There's clear malice and intent. When a person is violated, that person has the right to say it.

      Delete
    2. Eh di mas lalong hindi paniniwalaan ang babae kung babalik sa 1890’s. Lagi naman talagang babae ang sinisisi at hindi kinakampihan kahit na-harass na nga.

  26. A rape scene should be shot in a suggestive way. No need to show what is physically being done to protect the actress. Usually facial reactions, screams, struggling female hands, or just the shadows would suffice. Let the audiences use their imagination.

    1. Yes to this! Who in their right mind would do a rape scene that exactly shows how its being done. Usually nga screams and shadows lang, diba? Unless they are trying to do an adult film that i think is illegal here in ph.

    2. Kelangan laging ganyan lang ang pagshoot ng rape scene?

      May kanya-kanyang style at hinihingi ang palabas. May rape scene na pang-parental guidance lang at pangteleserye. Yung sinasabi mo bagay don.

      Eh pano kung hard-hitting na pelikula ang ginagawa at ang gusto ng script at direktor eh talagang makatotohanan. Alam ng babae kung ano ang klase ng pelikulang pinasukan nya. Di naman to school play lang na anything goes. Dumadaan sa mga kontrata ang lahat bago matuloy ang mga ganyang project. Kung hindi handa si babae, dapat nilagay nya sa kontrata ang mga limitasyon nya. Kawawa naman yung co-star na sumusunod lang sa script

      Delete
  27. Instead of apologizing, the actor came in defense immediately. First thing to do is secure you're co actor is comfortable and rights are not violated. Though the call was to make it "look" realistic, it doesn't really have to be realistic and touch her inappropriately. She has a right to say it when she feels violated not because you think you are doing it realistically. The Director is at fault too for not even listening to her or direct it in a way that no inappropriate advances were made. As the director, he should make sure all his actors feel safe. Making it look realistic is no excuse. Call it method acting or whatever but there are definitely ways that it can be suggestive but not graphic. Remember MTRCB still has to censor it, knowing that they should have made it suggestive and not actual. The director run out of creative juices or is part of the scheme to take advantage of the actress.

  28. I honestly don’t think may case si girl. It was in the script. And when you’re in the moment , esp Kung veteran actor ka na, you’ll get lose in the role. I don’t think it’s intentional. But having said that, she has every right to stop the scene and even not the movie once she realize she not up to it emotionally . And the producers should understand. Wala din sila case kung their actress is emotionally not fit to continue.

  34. usually ang mga babae, may gut feel; if something is off, mararamdaman mo eh. Kapag ganyan, sana ang presumption is there’s something wrong talaga and it’s for the offender to prove na wala siyang masamang ginawa. Good for TT for calling out the excessive act of AW. The industry is harsh for women – unequal treatment, prejudice, victim shaming, ano pa ba? Sana may briefing and debriefing lalo pa na sensitive iyong scene. I don’t think may masamang motive or oa si TT since she is known to be professional naman.
