And the Breadwinner Is...

This movie is a masterpiece and special to me what a great movie Vice and the people who's behind in this production.

My father is battling stage 4 prostate cancer and a spine tumor. It's hard in a way na isa ka sa inaasahan sa pamilya not just physically but financially sometimes you think of giving up pero Hindi pwede kase your here because of them, I cried, laugh and smile a lot watching this masterpiece. Nakaka relate ako sa bawat eksena. This movie gives me hope in every difficult sitatuation.

Despite the pain, this film give me strength especially na ako ang panganay. Thank you meme vice.

I am fond of good and heartwarming stories about family: 'Four Sisters And A Wedding', 'Seven Sundays' and 'Tanging Yaman'. 'And the Breadwinner Is' is certainly one of them for it delves deeper connections that are opulently gratifying and fulfilling especially the story is very special to my heart-about breadwinners.

A family story based on reality. The story is filled with characters that embodies typical Filipino practices, sensibilities, family issues, and beliefs such as love of one's family. Everywhere the story goes seems to show how representative the movie is of the Filipinos and the Philippine culture. Because the goal of the movie is to have a connection to its audience, and I was able to relate.

I was amazed with Vice Ganda's impeccable performance. This is the first time Vice steps out of her comedic comfort zone to showcase her dramatic chops. The Unkabogable Star's perfect balance of comedy and drama will leave viewers a lasting impression.

The exchange of dialogue in the intense confrontational scenes was filled with true to life emotionally charged statements and sentiments interwoven of the film's lead protagonist as a Breadwinner.

These heartfelt lines by Bambi in one heavy scene literally hit me hard:

"Hindi ka pwedeng magpahinga. Hindi ka pwedeng huminto para huminga..."

"Sabi nila breadwinner ako, pero bakit talunan ako ngayon?"

"Pu**ng ina! Sino ba'ng nagsabi 'pag breadwinner ka, dapat isa lang?"

Overall, 'And the Breadwinner Is' captures the complexness of family life and the struggles of breadwinners. Indeed, the best movie of Vice Ganda so far!

It's hard to explain how I felt while watching the movie, though, kudos to the movie casts and crews, and I want to thank those who wrote this masterpiece. For me, it's an eye opener for filipinos, that working abroad, away from your family is not an easy thing to do, especially if your whole family depends on you. As an OFW myself, I could say that some of the scenes where Vice is in Taiwan, is true. Even though I don't experience it myself, some of my co-workers would work day and night just to provide for their family, and it breaks my heart every time. I hope filipinos would realize someday that OFWs are not your ATM machines. Their money is not unlimited, their future is not promised too. Visas could expire and end anytime, and if that happens, who would be their for them?
