A movie about faith, healing, belief, curse, and miracles. This movie’s name is Himala directed by Ishmael Bernal. It was released on 1982 with the time duration of 2 hours and 4 minutes.

The props were also fit in the film because they are used by Elsa in her healing, just like the “magic healing water”. In most scenes in the film, the most used angle is wide angle because it emphasizes the large crowd around Elsa’s house, and the wide barren land where she prays. I personally believe that it was appropriate to use that angle because if they used angles with smaller scope, it wouldn’t show the large crowd and it may not be able to portray well the scene’s
