Nagbabalik-pelikula ang beteranang aktres na si Hilda Koronel para sa historical-thriller na “Sisa,” na ipalalabas sa mga sinehan sa Marso 4.

Sa kaniyang guesting sa “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda” nitong Huwebes, nilinaw ni Hilda na hindi si “Sisa” ni Jose Rizal ang kaniyang role, kundi isang babaeng espiya na binansagang si “Sisa” sa Filipino-American war noong 1902.

“Si Sisa is, she went crazy. Let's face it. Because war, as far as I'm concerned, is hell.
Whether it's before, whether it's now, it's happening all over the world. And lahat ng tao, civilians, children, women, are affected. So ang nangyayari si Sisa, medyo nasira rin ang ulo niya in a sense. But she was really focused on gusto niyang gumanti. Gusto niyang kahit pa paano makaganti siya,” kuwento ni Hilda.

Paglilinaw niya, “They have a misconception na Sisa ito ni Rizal. It's not. Because it's in 1902. This is the Philippine-American War already.”

Ayon kay Hilda, nagkukunwari lamang ang kaniyang karakter (na baliw) kaya binansagan siyang si Sisa ng mga kasamahan nitong babae sa concentration camp.

Ibinahagi ni Hilda kung paano niya pinaghandaan ang kaniyang role.

“I have Spanish lines with the commander, which is really hard for me because I don't speak Spanish… I had to memorize it first in English so I can understand what I'm talking about. Because I cannot just memorize the lines in Spanish without really understanding, so I can give it emotion,” anang aktres.

Dagdag ni Hilda, nahirapan siya sa pagbabago ng tono ng kaniyang pananalita para lagyan ito ng emosyon.

“What was hard was the inflection more than anything else. The memory wasn't so bad but 'yung inflection was really hard for me. It was difficult,” ani Hilda.

Ang “Sisa” ay sa direksyon ni Jun Robles Lana.

“Very modern, very fluid. Ibang klase, 'yung mga scenes niya medyo may pagka-stage. Tuloy-tuloy, tuhog. At saka, ibang klase 'yung story niya. I love his stories. Meron kang natututunan. He teaches you a lot about what's important. He makes you think. Hindi lang 'yung story mo interesting. It's a thriller. But at the same time, you're learning something from it. And like Sisa, the women are very strong,” sabi ni Hilda tungkol sa kaniyang direktor. – FRJ GMA Integrated News
