Anak (2000)

A big hugs to all parents out there!

I just recently watched it on Youtube because I was only 1 year old when it was released. Even though it is a Star Cinema production, I expected it to be more dramatic than light drama. But it is nice to found out that it has comedy which is like Star Cinema movies today.

Even though it is a light drama, I cried several times while watching it. Even though it is focused on the mother and the oldest daughter, her other two children were still given a heart-touching scene. Each child has a separate scene with their mother that I cried. On a technical aspect, I didn't like the voice-over in the movie. It felt redundant because aside from it is seen in the scene there was a voice-over narrating what happens.

Watching it made me realized how it is difficult to be a parent. Being a parent doesn't end by giving their financial needs, emotional support is also important for the children.
