Dolly De Leon and what the Triangle of Sadness term origin


Wazzup Pilipinas!?



The Triangle of Sadness film, which won the Palme d'Or at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival, and even got Dolly De Leon nominated for a Golden Globe, is a satirical black comedy set against the world of fashion and the uber-rich in which we get a glimpse of social hierarchies, gender-based power dynamics, conflicting political ideologies, financial inequality, and race power structures.

Ruben Östlund’s wickedly funny Palme d’Or #WINNER, social hierarchy is turned upside down, revealing the tawdry relationship between power and beauty. What first appeared instagrammable ends catastrophically.

Filipina actor Dolly De Leon got one of her biggest ever parts in the widely acclaimed movie "Triangle of Sadness." She plays Abigail, a cleaning lady on a luxury cruise who takes orders from Paula, the head of crew. 

Unfortunately, she did not win the Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actress.

But she made history as the first-ever Filipino to be nominated for a Golden Globe and BAFTA for her performance as Captain Abigail in ‘Triangle of Sadness’ and also won a FAMAS award for her performance in ‘Verdict’ in 2020.

Though, to recognize her invaluable contribution to the Philippine Film Industry, the FDCP is set to give the Annual Achievement Award to Dolly De Leon, along with others (Soliman Cruz and Martika Escobar) at the "Parangal ng Sining" which will be held on April 23 in Seda Hotel.

“Parangal ng Sining” (Honor of the Arts) is FDCP’s initiative to recognize Filipino filmmakers, artists, and institutions who continue to achieve and work for excellence, leading to acclaim in international film festivals across the globe.

Dolly De Leon has already wrapped filming her scenes in 2 of her Hollywood projects

• ‘Grand Death Lotto’ with Simu Liu, Awkwafina, and John Cena dir. Paul Feig

• ‘Between The Temples’ with Jason Schwartzman

She is raring to work with screen superstar Kathryn Bernardo in their recently announced Star Cinema film "A Very Good Girl."

“Kinikilig ako kasi galing na galing ako kay Kathryn. She’s really a very good actress. Napakahusay niya, at saka napakabuting tao. I’m so flattered and I’m really excited to work with her.”



"The Triangle of Sadness" is real-world term for the area between the eyebrows and the very top of the nose bridge. 

From high atop Mt. Privilege, the uber-rich prove just how absurd and clueless they are. And yes Gwyneth, if those Prada boots fit, wear ‘em! But when the super-yacht goes down, it’s the lowly “toilet lady” who schools the assholes in power. 

The "Triangle of Sadness" is a term used in the equestrian world to describe a specific area on a horse's head where excess skin and fatty tissue can accumulate. This area is located between the horse's eyes and just above the bridge of their nose, forming a triangle-shaped depression. Although it may seem like a minor anatomical feature, the Triangle of Sadness can actually have significant implications for a horse's health and well-being.

The Triangle of Sadness is not unique to any particular breed of horse and can occur in both males and females. It is thought to be caused by a combination of genetic factors, such as the shape of the horse's skull, as well as environmental factors, such as diet and exercise. Horses that are overweight or obese are more likely to develop excess fatty tissue in this area, as are horses that are not exercised regularly or that spend long periods of time standing in a stall or paddock.

While the Triangle of Sadness may not pose an immediate threat to a horse's health, it can be a sign of underlying issues that should be addressed. Excess fatty tissue in this area can put pressure on the horse's nasal passages and sinuses, leading to breathing difficulties and other respiratory issues. It can also be a sign of an imbalance in the horse's diet or an underlying metabolic disorder, such as insulin resistance or Cushings disease.

In addition to the physical implications, the Triangle of Sadness can also have emotional implications for horses. Horses are highly social animals that rely on facial expressions and body language to communicate with one another. A horse with a deep Triangle of Sadness may be seen as less attractive or less desirable by other horses, which can lead to social isolation and a decreased quality of life.

Fortunately, there are several steps that horse owners can take to prevent or address the Triangle of Sadness. The most important step is to ensure that the horse is receiving a balanced and appropriate diet, with the right balance of forage, grains, and supplements. Regular exercise, both under saddle and through turnout, can also help prevent excess fatty tissue from accumulating in this area. In some cases, veterinary intervention may be necessary to address underlying health issues or to surgically remove excess tissue.

In conclusion, the Triangle of Sadness is a unique anatomical feature of horses that can have significant implications for their health and well-being. Horse owners should be aware of this area and take steps to prevent or address excess fatty tissue in this area. By doing so, they can help ensure that their horses remain healthy, happy, and thriving for years to come.


The Triangle of Sadness is a thoroughly entertaining, delightfully wicked fable about structures of power that are only one shipwreck away from going belly up. A perfect parable for an age of excess.

The movie is an impressive satirical drama that takes aim at the super rich and has strong language, sex, drinking, and smoking.
