Ibinahagi ni Julia Montes na ang dahilan ng kanyang pagpayag na maging bahagi ng 2024 Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) entry na Topakk<\/em> (English title: Triggered<\/em>) ay ang pagtalakay nito sa post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), isang isyu na sa tingin niya ay hindi nabibigyan ng sapat na atensyon sa Pilipinas.<\/p>\n

Ang pelikulang Topakk<\/em>, na gawa ng Nathan Studios, Fusee, at Strawdogs, ay ipapalabas sa bansa sa 50th MMFF matapos nitong tumanggap ng internasyonal na pagkilala sa Cannes, Austin, at Locarno film festivals.<\/p>\n

Sa direksyon ni Richard V. Somes, ang pelikula ay umiikot sa isang dating special forces operative na dumaranas ng PTSD at nagkrus ang landas sa magkapatid na tumatakas mula sa isang krimen. Tampok sa pelikula sina Arjo Atayde at Julia Montes, at tinutukan nito ang \u201cthemes of redemption, mental health and corruption, as told through intense action sequences and emotional depth.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ibinahagi ni Julia na nang malaman niya ang tema ng pelikula na nakasentro sa PTSD, naramdaman niyang mahalaga itong gawin. \u201cIt\u2019s about time that PTSD will be discussed here in the Philippines because it\u2019s not being talked about here,\u201d<\/strong> ani Julia sa isang press conference.<\/p>\n

Binanggit din niya na maraming Pilipino ang nakakaramdam ng mga sintomas ng PTSD ngunit madalas na binabalewala ito. \u201cFor sure, some of us have already felt it. Sometimes, it would cause palpitation, feelings of loneliness na wala namang currently na nangyayari but you feel something. But we, us Filipinos, got used to thinking like, (especially) old folks, \u2018Tulog mo lang yan,\u2019 or no one listens to us when we want to say something.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pinuri rin ni Julia ang pelikula dahil sa mensaheng nais nitong iparating sa mga manonood. \u201cWe need to be more open because every character in the film has a story,\u201d<\/strong> sabi niya.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you watch it, every character may hugot. All of us have hugot and are going through something,\u201d<\/strong> dagdag pa niya, sabay pag-asang magiging mas maunawain ang mga manonood pagkatapos panoorin ang pelikula. \u201cBe more kind sa mga nakakasalamuha natin because we don\u2019t know what their struggles are every day and kung may nakikinig ba sa kanila.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Inilahad naman ng direktor na si Richard V. Somes na ang Topakk<\/em> ay naisulat noong panahon ng pandemya kung kailan maraming tao ang nakakulong sa kanilang mga tahanan dahil sa lockdown. \u201cWe were all bombarded by the news on TV, pandemic, death, war, famine, away ng lahat,\u201d<\/strong> naaalala niyang sabi.<\/p>\n

Para sa direktor, ang pagsusulat ng pelikula ay isang personal na proseso. \u201cAt the same time, looking back on the time that I wrote the script, I realized that it was my topak<\/em> after all. Sarili kong multo ang sinusulat ko na sa lahat ng mga takot. And then I just realized that I needed to make it into a film.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Idiniin din ni direk Richard na mahalaga ang pagtalakay sa PTSD sa kulturang Pilipino, dahil madalas itong hindi napag-uusapan. \u201cWe have medical practice also on studying PTSD but of course, Filipinos are known na resilient na species. We are known as matibay. The reason why Filipinos are collective if one is suffering from mental illness, PTSD or anything, that causes harm to you (because) we are more of a community.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s why if you have problems, if you have something na may dinadala ka, we are used to (like) gather everyone and then we\u2019re OK. We\u2019re like that. We\u2019re very collective (in nature) like, \u2018Tol, let\u2019s drink, I have a problem.\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Samantala, ikinuwento ni Arjo Atayde na gumaganap bilang sundalo na may PTSD, ang mga paghahandang ginawa niya para sa papel. Ibinahagi niya ang mga \u201ctwitches\u201d na ipinakita ng kanyang karakter bilang senyales ng trauma. \u201cThe twitches that I had (for my role), direk actually helped me with it,\u201d<\/strong> ani Arjo.<\/p>\n

Ipinakita rin ng aktor ang hamon ng pagganap ng isang taong pinipigil ang galit, na isang reaksyon sa PTSD. \u201cI remember since we started the film, I said, \u2018Paano kaya ako yung parang pigil na galit na?\u2019 Yun kasi obviously, especially the people who are very aware of the condition, \u2018pag nag-spa-spark, they try to get out of it because it\u2019s very traumatic.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pinasalamatan ni Arjo ang direktor at ang buong produksyon para sa maingat na paghubog sa kanyang karakter. \u201cDefinitely every angle of the character was thoroughly thought about. And of course, with the guidance of direk Richard and the whole production,\u201d<\/strong> pagtatapos niya.<\/p>\n

Kasama rin sa Topakk<\/em> sina Sid Lucero, Enchong Dee, Kokoy de Santos, Levy Ignacio, Bernard Palanca, Paolo Paraiso, at Vin Abrenica.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Somes na ang Topakk ay naisulat noong panahon ng pandemya kung kailan maraming tao ang nakakulong sa kanilang mga tahanan dahil sa lockdown. \u201cWe were all bombarded by the news on TV, pandemic, death, war, famine, away ng lahat,\u201d naaalala niyang sabi. Para sa direktor, ang pagsusulat ng pelikula ay isang personal na proseso. \u201cAt the same time, looking back on the time that I wrote the script, I realized that it was my topak after all. Sarili kong multo ang sinusulat ko na sa lahat ng mga takot. And then I just realized that I needed to make it into a film.\u201d Idiniin din ni direk Richard na mahalaga ang pagtalakay sa PTSD sa kulturang Pilipino, dahil madalas itong hindi napag-uusapan. \u201cWe have medical practice also on studying PTSD but of course, Filipinos are known na resilient na species. We are known as matibay. The reason why Filipinos are collective if one is suffering from mental illness, PTSD or anything, that causes harm to you (because) we are more of a community.\u201d \u201cThat\u2019s why if you have problems, if you have something na may dinadala ka, we are used to (like) gather everyone and then we\u2019re OK. We\u2019re like that. We\u2019re very collective (in nature) like, \u2018Tol, let\u2019s drink, I have a problem.\u2019\u201d Samantala, ikinuwento ni Arjo Atayde na gumaganap bilang sundalo na may PTSD, ang mga paghahandang ginawa niya para sa papel. Ibinahagi niya ang mga \u201ctwitches\u201d na ipinakita ng kanyang karakter bilang senyales ng trauma. \u201cThe twitches that I had (for my role), direk actually helped me with it,\u201d ani Arjo. Ipinakita rin ng aktor ang hamon ng pagganap ng isang taong pinipigil ang galit, na isang reaksyon sa PTSD. \u201cI remember since we started the film, I said, \u2018Paano kaya ako yung parang pigil na galit na?\u2019 Yun kasi obviously, especially the people who are very aware of the condition, \u2018pag nag-spa-spark, they try to get out of it because it\u2019s very traumatic.\u201d Pinasalamatan ni Arjo ang direktor at ang buong produksyon para sa maingat na paghubog sa kanyang karakter. \u201cDefinitely every angle of the character was thoroughly thought about. And of course, with the guidance of direk Richard and the whole production,\u201d pagtatapos niya. Kasama rin sa Topakk sina Sid Lucero, Enchong Dee, Kokoy de Santos, Levy Ignacio, Bernard Palanca, Paolo Paraiso, at Vin Abrenica.","og_url":"https:\/\/balitangpinas.net\/mmff-2024-entry-topakk-tinutukan-ang-ptsd-at-mental-health-awareness\/","og_site_name":"Balitang Pinas","article_published_time":"2024-12-17T09:53:45+00:00","og_image":[{"width":1280,"height":720,"url":"https:\/\/balitangpinas.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/maxresdefault-4.jpg","type":"image\/jpeg"}],"author":"BPnet","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"BPnet","Est. reading time":"4 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/balitangpinas.net\/mmff-2024-entry-topakk-tinutukan-ang-ptsd-at-mental-health-awareness\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/balitangpinas.net\/mmff-2024-entry-topakk-tinutukan-ang-ptsd-at-mental-health-awareness\/"},"author":{"name":"BPnet","@id":"https:\/\/balitangpinas.net\/#\/schema\/person\/17506722c99cf19aefdcc826a3fa1a19"},"headline":"MMFF 2024 Entry Topakk Tinutukan ang PTSD at Mental Health Awareness","datePublished":"2024-12-17T09:53:45+00:00","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/balitangpinas.net\/mmff-2024-entry-topakk-tinutukan-ang-ptsd-at-mental-health-awareness\/"},"wordCount":766,"commentCount":0,"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/balitangpinas.net\/mmff-2024-entry-topakk-tinutukan-ang-ptsd-at-mental-health-awareness\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/balitangpinas.net\/staging\/7131\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/maxresdefault-4.jpg","keywords":["2024","ang","awareness","entertainment","entry","health","mental","mmff","ptsd","tinutukan","topakk"],"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"CommentAction","name":"Comment","target":["https:\/\/balitangpinas.net\/mmff-2024-entry-topakk-tinutukan-ang-ptsd-at-mental-health-awareness\/#respond"]}]},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/balitangpinas.net\/mmff-2024-entry-topakk-tinutukan-ang-ptsd-at-mental-health-awareness\/","url":"https:\/\/balitangpinas.net\/mmff-2024-entry-topakk-tinutukan-ang-ptsd-at-mental-health-awareness\/","name":"MMFF 2024 Entry Topakk Tinutukan ang PTSD at Mental Health Awareness -
