Magnifigreat

I saw the trailers and posters of "Magnifico" posted all around when it was still showing nationwide butnthat was a long time ago. I even thought that Lorna Tolentino was the main subject and that her character was the one who does fgreat things. I thought that this is just like another Filipino movie that experiments on new special effects devices and a story that lacks its main essence.

At class I saw the movie and I can say that it is one of the best pieces that the local cinema industry came up with. According to the discussions at class I knew that coming up with a good story considers a writer of having to create somthing phenomenal with only the thingsn that writers possess. Those things can probably be the writers, interests, experiences or lessons learned from school. The story of "Magnifico" revlves around a low budgeted production, but with manipulationof the director, the main characters portrayal of their role made the environment of the story not affect the essence of the story. The great part is that beside from having a simple production, the director was able to come up with something remarkable that made all of the conflicts on the story flow together in one mode that makes undeniably one of the best peices that the local industry has to offer. Unlike other big budgeted action movies in the Phlippines with all the stunt crash settings and stunt performances, Magnifico was able to prove that makig stories is much more of the essence and not the elements.
