1. Chapter 5
Presentation, Data Analysis and Interpretation of Data
In this chapter, all the data analysis, results and findings that the researchers had after all the generated data
had been collected will be discussed. It will start from tabulating until the interpretation of the results. All of the
results of the data gathered, analyzed and interpreted will also be discussed in this chapter, in order to provide a
more comprehensive and organized explanation.
The data generated from the study: Each of the movie are watched three times in order to generate
the needed data. Each specific statement problems were separated and placed tables. Each table contains the titles of
each film per column. Then the generated facts were written one by one in each movie. This is also done in the rest
of the specific problem statements. After the all the needed data were gathered each situation (with the Characters of
the movie) in every movie where identified according to its similarities and differences. Then each situation was
discussed and explained in accordance with the Review of Related Literature Materials and Theory and became the
basis for the conclusions and recommendation.

2. In frame number4, Medy has been giving birth to her youngest, named Queenie. The doctor was come to
tell that Queenie is suffering from illness called “wet lungs”, but it will not affect either her growth or development.
So, Medy will need money for medications for her daughter.

days, and aside from being Medy was her favorite make-up artist, she convinced again Medy to earn money for her

An Excerpt of a research entitled how does the Mother-Daughter Relationship Affects Communication
between Life Mates & Female Peers? Fingerman shared the same ideas as Rosenberger. She said, "In many cases,
the same situations that underlie pleasure also contribute to tensions. Mothers and daughters face the task of
balancing their desire for intimacy against their needs for autonomy". This pertains to that even though how close a
Mother and Daughter relationship was there will be instances where this maternal relationship can be affected by
what is happening around them.
Major Findings:
There are primarily five communication situations the Mother and Daughter in the films often engage in
namely: saying goodbyes, Confiding, Exchange of Messages and lastly, Problems, Issues, Misunderstanding, and
Arguments.
Each of the five communication situations were categorized by the researchers to show the unity and
disunity of the content and theme of the movie.

Confiding, Exchange of Messages, Sharing and Updates and Problems, issues, Misunderstandings,
Arguments, Confrontation – can be found in Anak, Inang Yaya and A Mother’s story.
