Direk Mac C. Alejandre voices his thoughts on the contribution of sexy, nude scenes in filmmaking

Director Mcarthur ‘Mac’ C. Alejandre voiced his thoughts on July 21 on the contribution of sexy and nude scenes to filmmaking.

At the media conference for the Vivamax original series Wag Mong Agawin Ang Akin, Alejandre clarified that sex scenes are just one of the means to relay a film’s message to its audience.

“Ang paghuhubad ay isa lamang pamamaraan para ma-achieve ang isang objective. Hindi siya end. Ang end is not the paghuhubad, ang end is a good scene so sa akin– ano man ‘yan, paghuhubad man yan, or action scene man ‘yan, suntukan man ‘yan, or nagtatawanan ‘yan, or sampalan ‘yan ang end lagi is to make sure that the scene works and the scene contributes to the totally of the film. 

“Ang paghuhubad ay isa lamang sa pamamaraan para maipakita ang mensahe, at ang pamamaraan na ito ay kahalintulad ng pamamamaraan ng paggawa ng eksenang aksyon o katatawanan. Mas mahirap lang siya. Pero magkakahalintulad sila.”

He then recalled his friends’ reactions to some of his previous work as examples of how a nude scene conveys a movie’s theme.

“Silip sa Apoy, napanood ng mga kaibigan ko, habang pinapanood nila si Angeli, at graphic ang mga sex scenes doon. Ang sabi nila, ‘Hindi ko naisip ang sex scenes, awang-awa ako sa kaniya.’ Nahuli ko, ‘yun ‘yung objectives, ginamit kong metaphor ang sexual positions to show oppression at ‘yun ang nakita nila. 

“Mayroon akong pelikulang lalabas, ang title May December January, sabi ng isang kaibigan kong nakapanood, ‘Alam mo may love scene ka nga, alam mo umiiyak ako ang nakita ko damdamin nila, ‘yun ang naramdaman ko.’ ‘Yun ‘yung objective, but the platform, the means is a love scene.”

As part of his filmmaking process, Alejandre said he follows a three-set rule, which starts with not forcing an actor.

“May mga set rules ako. Ang unang set rule ko is that wala akong ipapagawang hindi nila gusto nila gawin. Naniniwala ako na ang katawan ng bawat tao ay karapatan niya. So kung ayaw niyang gawin, hindi ako mamimilit. Malinaw na malinaw ‘yun sa akin, walang pilitan.”

He also noted that his second rule on set includes explaining the value of the sex scene to the movie.

“Number two, pag umayon sila, kailangan ipaliwanag ko kung bakit kailangan nilang gawin. Kasi kung hindi kailangan gawin hindi ko ipapagawa.”

He then added his third rule, which stresses that only essential people should be present while filming the sex scene.

“Ngayon, pag pumayag sila sa paliwanang ko, at gagawin na namin, sisiguraduhin kong ang mga tao sa set ay ‘yun lamang kailangan na kailangan sa set. Walang taong hindi kailangan sa set. 

“Tapos ako wala ako sa set, nasa labas ako, may monitor ako, wala akong katabi. Lahat ng mga tao, malayo, nagpapahinga sila. Siguro masaya sila kapag maselan ang eksena, kasi nagpapahinga sila. Kung dalawang oras ko shinoshoot ‘yung eksena, dalawang oras pahinga nila.”

He also stated that he only works with people he worked with before, citing the value of trust between the director and the actors. 

“That’s one more thing, sa lahat ng pelikulang ginawa ko, mula ‘My Husband, My Lover,’ I would be working with the same people kasi ‘yung mga taong napagkatiwalaan ko noong una ay sila na lang para hindi ako paliwanag ng paliwanag sa mga bawal, kasi maraming bawal eh. Hindi lang dahil sa pandemya, kung di dahil sa maseselang eksena. 

“Malinaw sa akin na malaking– it takes a lot from the actors to bare their bodies, kailangan kong igalang ‘yung, kailangan kong suklian ng ganoong klaseng tiwala. At napapanindigan namin ‘yun at patuloy namin paninindigan ‘yun.”

Mcarthur ‘Mac’ C. Alejandre’s Wag Mong Agawin Ang Akin stars Felix Roco, Angeli Khang, and Jamilla Obispo. The Vivamax Digital series streams via Vivamax starting July 31.
