This masteral thesis examines how the all-time super heroine Darna has been treated in film throughout time. Specifically, this study seeks to understand three things: (1) identify the image of the body of Darna on screen; (2) explain how Darna was created by Ravelo; and (3) present how the Darna filmmakers used the audience-characters within the narrative to illustrate Darna as a “socially and morally” acceptable pornographic identity. This thesis looks into the available Darna films in the UP CMC film archive and analyzes them using the shot-by-shot and feminist textual analyses. This thesis concludes that the media construction of the body of Darna as prescribed by Ravelo has been used by the capitalist system that commodifies women like a pin-up image. Darna is an alien super heroine that masquerades women empowerment. Visually, sexually and culturally. Darna represents misogyny conditioned by film to be applauded. In the process, the study is able to provide new avenues on how to view women as text in front of the camera. This thesis recommends further study on critical discourses on violence against women; some may be through Galtung’s triangle of violence in looking into film as a cultural artefact.
