FILM ANALYSIS AND REVIEW: ANG SAYAW NG DALAWANG KALIWANG PAA
Ang Sayaw ng Dalawang Kaliwang Paa, a film by Alvin Yapan, embraces art, poetry and dance and focuses on the feminist agenda. It tests the viewers to fully understand the context of different poems from Merlinda Bobis, Ruth Elynia Mabanglo, Joi Barros, Rebecca Anonuevo, Ophelia Dimalanta and Benilda Santos which all center on feminism.
The movie takes a different form as it was used by Yapan to extend his academic instruction using film, the scope of which is literature, music and dance.
The way how the film delivers its message works, despite the use of peculiar mediums such as poetry. The first few minutes has good dialogues, verses, music and dance that strengthens the film. It was edited according to the narration of the film’s protagonist.
The use of feminist poetry by Alvin Yapan was revolutionary since the focus of Ang Sayaw ng Dalawang Paa is of feminism. While the film hints homosexual longing, it also envisions romance as absolved from different views of gender and sexual preference. Love was treated to be free and free of labels. Marlon longs for Karen, notwithstanding the difference in age and position. Dennis longs for Marlon, notwithstanding the difference in sexual preference. Even if the poems used were of feminism, they were expanded and were not taken literally. The poems encompasses the emotions of two male characters.
The final image of Ang Sayaw ng Dalawang Kaliwang Paa, despite its mastered choreography of dance and use of feminist poetry, will doubtlessly result in complaints. Somehow, it was expected to be like other gay-themed or homosexual films whose screenplay is more obvious unlike the hidden story in this film. The final scene in the film should be upgraded since it might be taken to literal and so not to waste the use of literature to enrich the story between the three leads.
A tear is not just an object of sadness or despair, love or admiration. It is also an object that neutralizes all labels present in our society and communicates the freedom of expression and one’s capacity to express without hindrance.

So I’ve watched Deathly Hallows part 2 for the second time. This scene never fails to make the audience clap til their hands bleed.
