“Ploning”, as we all know, is a movie rich in culture because of its setting which is far from urbanized places. That is why it is not difficult for the people who live there to preserve and maintain their culture. Each individual in the movie depicts a certain cultural acts. Each person generally speaking was overshadowed by their culture
Comparing the people in the movie and today’s generation I could say that we, as the people of this generation, are lost. We are totally lost. It is the development of the technology that we are becoming lost who we really are.
At first I wanted to portray the image of Ploning, a girl and the main character in the movie “Ploning”, in my reflection paper but I told to myself maybe it is the same person also that my classmates wanted to portray. Because of that I prefer to choose and portray the image of the elder brother of Lito, specifically his role in the last part of the movie.
In the last part of the movie, Lito, unknowingly, met the sons of his brother. And at that part of the movie Lito found out immediately that it was the son of his brother because when Lito told them to go to the sea to wash they immediately replied that their father would be angry and punish them when they saw the two of them in the sea. Why? The two boys explained to Lito that their father has a younger brother who lost in the sea because of their father’s carelessness.
The attitude of Lito’s elder brother portrays a cultural characteristic that he doesn’t want to happen again to his children what had happened to his younger brother because of his carelessness. Although their place is near the sea Lito’s brother prohibited his children to go to the sea. Maybe Lito’s brother is very open to the possibility that it would happen also to his children. We could say that this could be and possibility as kind of culture in their place. They are open to the possibility that the tragedy that happened before will happen again.
And Lito’s brother also portray in the movie how important is his brother, Lito, for him. Even in the last part of the movie, for how many years have passed, Lito’s brother still never forget what he did to his brother and probably I believe that everyday of his life Lito’s brother spent time at the sea hoping Lito to come back. It is because of that hope that we are able to wait. It is because of that hope that we become patience.
To conclude, I could that, based to the character which Lito’s brother portrays, there are cultures that is partially good and bad like not taking a risk and but to avoid things that might happened again. But what is essential is their being was able to be defined by their cultures. Their wholeness of person was able to be noticed among others because of their culture which is different from the others.
