A review of the MMFF film 'And the Breadwinner is', highlighting its ability to evoke both laughter and tears through a masterful blend of acting, direction, and storytelling.
LIKE I shared yesterday, we try to see as many MMFF (Metro Manila Film Festival) movies during the Christmas season as our discretion allows. By the way, say 'many' if you're describing countable nouns like movies and 'much' for uncountable nouns like time. So, say, 'too many movies' or 'too much time.' Anyway, as I was saying, after 'Green Bones,' we went to see 'And the Breadwinner is' on Day 2.
Surprisingly, I cried as much watching this dramedy as I did watching a serious and purely dramatic film. Which leads me to ask, food for thought, what for you makes a good movie? If the movie made you cry, would that mean it was good? I wouldn't say exactly. There are a lot of other factors to consider in rating a movie, like the direction, story, cinematography, screenplay, musical scoring, and of course, acting. All these elements were done masterfully in this film. The story was simple but carried a lot of emotions, and it made you wonder why such a universal theme was only used in a movie just now. It was a far cry (no pun intended) from all the Vice Ganda films in the past which, now that I think about it, shouldn't have been a surprise because this was a Jun Lana film after all. Vice Ganda outperformed herself. What a stellar performance. The genius of this movie (or Vice and Eugene Domingo themselves) is in how it manages to make you laugh while crying or cry while laughing in many instances, it really was a roller coaster of emotions that ended on a high note. Literally and figuratively
