Pelikulang 'Angustia,' Rated R-18 ng MTRCB
Nais linawin ng Creative Programs, Inc. (CPI) na R-18 rating at hindi X-rating ang ibinigay ng Movie Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) sa pelikulang "Angustia" ni Director Kristian Cordero.
Ang "Angustia" ay isa sa mga kalahok sa kategoryang Currents sa nakaraang Cinema One Originals Festival 2013 na pinagbibidahan nina Alex Medina, Jazmin Llana, Vic Loquias, Mitch Smith, at Maria Isabel Lopez. Ipinalabas ito sa tatlong sinehan noong Nobyembre 13 hanggang Nobyembre 19, 2013.
Ang "Angustia" ay kwento ng isang batang pari na sa gitna ng kanyang misyong gawing Katoliko ang isang komunidad ay napaibig sa isang babaeng katutubo. Mula sa isang banal na misyon, kalaunan ay tinahak ng batang pari ang buhay na puno ng ligalig at pagkakasala.
Binigyan ng MTRCB ng R-18 rating ang pelikula dahil sa pagkakaroon nito ng mga sensitibong nilalaman kabilang ang usaping relihiyon at pananampalataya.
Ang mga sumusunod ay nakalagay sa Permit to Exhibit ng MTRCB:
"A young priest pursues his missionary calling to convert the native population. His quest for religious conversion leads him to anxiety and crime.
"The Committee unanimously rates the movie R-18. The film contains or depicts religion-related images and/or scenes characterized by sexual content and faith-related contradictions. There are disturbing scenes and language that may offend religious sensibilities.
"For proper discernment and consideration of adult viewers which will likely include Christian believers, this advisory must be reproduced and printed not only in the permit, but also in all publicity materials and collaterals.
"The Committee makes the following remarks:
· The priest is a consecrated person and therefore should be depicted with proper respect. The portrayal of any weaknesses of frailties in regard to this character must be subject to careful discernment, and thus, merits a mature audience.
· Baptism is the sacrament by which a person becomes a child of God. Its portrayal in any compromising manner must be done very carefully.
· The host is sacred and should be treated with the highest respect as being the Body of Christ -- Christ himself, under the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist according to the Catholic faith. Subjecting it to any compromising or adverse depiction must necessarily be done before a very mature and discerning audience.
· Some scenes in the film are unsettling for those below 18 years old or those in their formative years. (In fact, even adults, if not secure in religious and doctrinal formation, may also be shaken by sensitive scenes). We in the Board are mandated to look after the welfare of the youth. These are scenes which might misguide and provide a wrong impression of Catholicism. The concern here is serious and urgent as the film is not a catechetical work, and there is hardly any room for correct and adequate religious or doctrinal instruction, or even information to non-believers as to the true import of matters of belief."
Alinsunod sa mungkahi ng MTRCB, nais ipabatid ng CPI sa mga manonood na ang pelikulang "Angustia" ay may mga sensitibong nilalaman na nararapat bigyan ng angkop na pang-unawa.
