FAMILY HISTORY (2019)

(source)

Written and Directed by MICHAEL V

When plans for the day did not come to fruition, dad, mom, and I decided to watch a movie instead.  We've seen most of the blockbusters, and the others were Horror Flicks(not really our cups of tea, with some exceptions, of course) so we were left with no choice but to watch FAMILY HISTORY.

Boy, were we surprised. The style and treatment were done before, but we were so impressed by the flow of the story, the acting, the injection of graphic arts, the cinematography, et cetera, most especially the direction. 

The topics aren't new, and  they are all very relatable, but how the characters dealt with the different situations proves that the writer/director/producer/composer, MICHAEL V, is a genius.

DAWN ZULUETA, KAKAI BAUTISTA, MIGUEL TAN FELIX, BIANCA UMALI, PAOLO CONTIS, JOHN ESTRADA, EUGENE DOMINGO, DINGDONG DANTES, MIKOY MORALES, NIKKI CO, JEMWELL VENTINILLA, VINCE GAMAD, and NONIE BUENCAMINO, played very important roles, and they all did their jobs more than well.

There were serious matters made light because of the humour, the theme song, the special effects, the thoughts/imaginations, and so much more, but they are still very thought-provoking.

Dad, who is very choosy about the local films he watches, surprisingly added this to the list of WORLD CLASS FILIPINO FILMS. I agree with him.  Need I say more?

Such a beautiful song that pulls some heartstrings Thanks for your time!
