A MOTHER'S STORY

A Mother's Story i should say is a movie worth watching...well mahilig kase akong manoon pero pinipili ko ang mga pinapanood ko. Maganda ang movie na ito ni Pokwang, and of course pag sinabing pokwang may mga patawa din naman sya kahit drama ang effect dito ng lola. Totoo naman yan, pag mga anak mo na ang paguusapan parang ang hirap at ang sakit ng mag desisyon. Iisipin mo na lang kahit wala ng para sa iyo, magkaron lang ang mga anak mo. Kahit anong hirap haharapin mo para lang sa kinabukasan ng mga anak mo at ng buong pamilya mong umaasa sa iyo. Maaring OO HINDI KAMI HANDS ON sa mga anak namin, pero it doesnt mean na nagpapakasaya kami dito sa abroad. Mahirap sa abroad, maganda lang pakinggan at maganda lang tignan sa picture pero hindi madaling manirahan sa abroad.

Medy (Pokwang), a make-up artist, was given the chance of a lifetime to accompany a concert star to the United States for a performance. She promised her family that she will return after a week. However, while in America, she stumbled upon a former classmate Helen (Beth Tamayo) who convinced her to stay for good in the land of milk and honey. She initially refused, but eventually gave in, when she got a call one night from her husband that they need a big amount of money to bring her youngest daughter to the hospital. America has not been the friendliest to her and our story begins with her coming home to Manila literally with nothing. Medy’s two kids, King (Rayver Cruz) and Queenie (Xyriel Manabat) are now 19 and 7.

King struggles with the return of his mother. Animosity, resentment, shame, and anger are issues he has built with Medy. For the young Queenie, it’s getting to know the mother, who she thought would one day come out of a Balikbayan Box. And as for her husband, Medy discovers something she least expected.

MY PERSONAL RATING: 9 stars a must to see movie ng mga kamag anak ng OFW

Actually pd ko na sana itong bigyan ng 10 stars rating kaso pumangit yung storya sa dulo, nung ipakilala ng anak nyang si King ang girlfriend nya na magiging isa ng ina. Sana inayos na lang nila yung script ginawa na lang nila na may ipapakilalang girlfriend and gusto na nilang magpakasal. Hindi yung ipinakilala kase buntis na. Ayun kase ang hirap sa mga klase ng palabas sa atin, dahil pinapakita sa buong kapuluan akala na tuloy ng mga nakakapanood, lalo na ng mga kabataan eh ok na yung ganon. Tama na yung ganong mga napapanood nila. Pero, in fairness pa din sa movie na ito... maganda sya as in.. ang ganda ganda nakakaiyak at makatotohanan.
