Philippines
The Philippines ( ), officially known as the Republic of the Philippines (), is a country in Southeast Asia in the western Pacific Ocean. To its north across the Luzon Strait lies Taiwan. West across the South China Sea sits Vietnam. The Sulu Sea to the southwest lies between the country and the island of Borneo, and to the south the Celebes Sea separates it from other islands of Indonesia. It is bounded on the east by the Philippine Sea. Its location on the Pacific Ring of Fire and its tropical climate make the Philippines prone to earthquakes and typhoons but have also endowed the country with natural resources and made it one of the richest areas of biodiversity in the world. An archipelago comprising 7,107 islands, the Philippines is categorized broadly into three main geographical divisions: Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. Its capital city is Manila.

Yes, I feel like a mammoth today
Like I'm going to die
Yes, it seems I am lost anyway
And I'm finding out why
Maybe tomorrow
Stone age arrival
Maybe tomorrow
I'll be alright
Have you been like a mammoth sometimes?
Do you know what you felt?
Dare you speak about the social crimes?
You can feel the ice melt
Maybe tomorrow
Stone age arrival
Maybe tomorrow
Spare me the suspense
Spare me the suspense
I got the current seat, but I'm heaven sent
So spare me the suspense
Just spare me the suspense
Hey lady, wait
I so hope you try
You're late,
Baby know it's your time
Below that, you said bye
So call in the kid night
Alone, you can't make amends
Now won't let you sit by
So call in the kids
Now we should dance like two fucking twins
Just spare me the suspense
There are seven ancient pawn shops along the road
And the seven aching daddies you may want to know
Oh, right on
Lady rain
Oh baby, I can't deny
I gotta taste, a taste, a taste and it's time
But I won't let you sit by
So call in the kids
Now I'm alone, you can't make amends
Now I won't let you sit by
But so call in the kids
Now that's enough with this fucking incense
Just spare me the suspense
There are seven ancient pawn shops along the road
I know seven aging daddies you may want to know
When you've played your heart out
It paid eternal route
Oh, right on
Wait, baby froze in the night
You're late, there's a hole in the sky
No haste, no lesson to lie
Gotta taste that I can't deny
And you wait til you know that it's time
You wait til you know that it's time
You wait til you know that it's time
You wait til you know that it's time
You say that you said black lies, do you know?

Mammoth is a 2009 Swedish film directed by Lukas Moodysson, about a successful New York couple experiencing conditions related to modern day globalization. The couple is played by Gael García Bernal and Michelle Williams, in the roles of Leo and Ellen Vidales. The title superficially refers to the mammoth ivory pen Leo receives as a gift. In addition it relates loosely to a quote from one of Moodysson's poetry collections: "Our Savior buried like a Mammoth."[1]
Contents |
Plot[link]
Leo and Ellen are a successful New York couple, totally immersed in their work. Leo is the creator of a booming gaming website, and has stumbled into a world of money and big decisions. He has to board a business flight to Thailand in order to sign a contract. What ensues in the next few days is a critique on the social dilemmas that result from globalization.
Ellen is a dedicated emergency surgeon who devotes her long shifts to saving lives. During her work, she becomes attached to a dying boy who had been stabbed in the stomach by his mother. Leo and Ellen have an eight-year-old daughter named Jackie. Due to her parents' lack of presence in the household, she spends most of her time with her Filipino nanny Gloria, who introduces the girl to her Filipino culture and reads about Jackie's favorite subject, astronomy. Even with the little time that Ellen has for her, Jackie often prefers to be with Gloria, which provokes jealousy on Ellen's part.
Gloria has two children of her own, young boys residing in the Philippines with their grandmother. The older boy, Salvador, who misses his mother dearly, makes frequent phone calls to her and begs her to come home. His grandmother scolds him for calling his mother so much; she urges her daughter to stay in America to make money for a better life for her family. Salvador tries to find a job so that Gloria does not have to work abroad. One night Salvador is robbed by homeless children then lured and molested by a pedophile who saves him from his attackers. Next morning he is found unconscious under a bridge, and is rushed to a hospital. When Gloria is informed of this incident she quits her job immediately, and leaves to the airport to return to her country.
In Thailand, Leo finds out that his colleague has to negotiate additionally, which buys time for him to explore the country. Leo's trip so far has been uneventful. At a club, Leo meets a prostitute named Cookie, and pays her to not have sex with any client that evening. Later on Leo reluctantly has a romantic fling with the girl, but he regrets it afterwards. He has his colleague accept the terms offered, so that he can finish the work and return to his family in the US as soon as possible. We find out at the end that Cookie is a working class single mother who is also living apart from her baby girl.

Release[link]
On 23 January 2009 the film premiered in Swedish theatres. The international debut followed on 6 February at the Berlin International Film Festival, where the audience showed loud dissatisfaction with the film.[3] It was released in the United States on 20 November 2009 in a theatrical run exclusive to the IFC Center in New York City.[4]
Reception[link]
The film was attacked in Swedish media for what has been perceived as misogyny. "Working women lead to unfaithful men and dead children at home as well as at work," journalist Per Gudmundson summarised his interpretation of the film's message in Svenska Dagbladet.[5] Moodysson would later respond that "They assumed I was trying to say that mothers should stay at home. That was never on my mind.", declaring that the theme of the film was the shared difficulties of characters of very different social backgrounds in coping with both work and spending proper time with their children.[6]
Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times found both positive and negative aspects in the film, commenting the character of the nanny who has left her family for work in the United States: "The film intends to make us feel guilty that such people care for us and not for their own. I don't buy that." Ebert particularly praised Michelle Williams' performance, being impressed by her ability to convincingly play completely different kinds of roles: "Wendy and Lucy was so effective as establishing her as a helpless innocent that it's sort of a shock to see her here as a cool, competent ER surgeon." Eventually he summarised: "Mammoth is a perfectly decent film. Too bad it isn't more thoughtful. It's easy to regret misfortune if all you do is regret it."[7]
