magnifico

I was never really a fan of wholesome family films. Furthermore, i had this thing against filipino movies (most) because every time i watched them, they always had the same theme. Some were even worse especially those slapstick comedy flicks. But my perception suddenly changed when I saw Magnifico. It had some of the elements of a typical pinoy movie but at the same time, it also had substance in it. I didn't really expect to be moved by it. The movie reminded me of Pay It Forward. A kid who was genuinely nice trying to help others by doing random little things. Magnifico gets the best of you through its meaningful and emotional content. I was really touched when he started going out of his way just to take her little sister to the carnival. It showed love and service for others. You rarely see movies like that nowadays moreover in real life. In our society today, people tend to be selfish and have this mentality of serving themselves first before others. I find it kinda tragic how bad things happen to good people.

I think that Maginifico is a brilliant movie that can teach people good moral values. Best thing that I learned from it is that you don't have to do kind deeds to others while expecting something in return (or if you owe someone something). A little good deed will go a long way.
