Juana C. The Movie

 

Juana C. The Movie:
The Sexy-Comedy As A Weapon By Jessica Zafra

I have been one of the chosen to watch the premier of Juana C and somehow it shows how people on our society specially those who are in position does their dirty and wrong doings in an elegant way that’s one of their assets which most of the foreign viewer would not understand or assessed.

It’s the first time how such film with intense showing of the wrong doings and Immoral acts of most of the political personalities their lifestyles ect.  This group of actors and actresses wanted to promote good governance and independence especially on film making and other aspects of society. . 

There is a lot of sex in Juana C. the full-length film debut of the political
critic/YouTube phenomenon. Kinky sex, sex for pay, boy on boy, girl on girl,
group and something called vroom vroom. Why is there so much sex in a
movie that wears its advocacies on its XXL sleeve?

Because if we devoted 1/10th of the time we spend thinking about sex to
discussing the issues that affect our country, we would have a more
rational, responsible, better-educated society. An informed society is
harder for corrupt politicians and opportunists to take advantage of. And
because what the politicians and businessmen do to Juana Change in the
movie, they are doing to us. Our nation is being screwed by the very
same people who are supposed to protect us.

In the first offering from Laganap Productions, Juana Change is a girl who
comes to Manila to attend a prestigious university. Her townmates from
Barangay Kaploc are counting on her to lead the fight against the
corporate interests which are stealing their resources and killing their
village. But the impressionable Juana falls in with the high-living crowd
and winds up seriously in debt. How is she supposed to pay?

By selling her own natural resource: her body. And Mae Paner as Juana
Change makes an all-out bid to become the first heavyweight sex symbol
in local cinema. Socially-aware is the new sexy.

Under the tutelage of Peaches Tanquintera, the most powerful mistress,
pimp, influence peddler, and secret keeper in the Philippines, Juana meets
the people who pull the strings: the judge whose judgement is for sale,
the politicians who treat public funds as their petty cash, the military who
do their bidding, and the clergy who condone corruption. And when she
opens her legs, she learns to open her eyes and her mind to the urgent
problems of society. She gains access to information that must be
brought to the people, information that could cost her her life.
