"Cultivate Your Own Unseen Treasure"
"Then he said to him, 'Child, you have always been with me, and all the things that are mine are yours; but we just had to enjoy ourselves and rejoice, because this your brother was dead and came to life, and he was lost and was found' ". - LUKE 15:31,32
It was a frantic, mind-blowing dramatic film that conveys a religious pact family bondness each Filipinos would love to have. It proves to be a rare treasure which adapts suitable theatrical representation of an contemporary version of the parable of the prodigal son. It leads every audience to feel the reality that has been portrayed in the movie with a painful cancer to our mind that has been cured by our deep faith mixed with an unconditional love of our God.
Personally, I have seen this dramatic movie many times but the essence is still going strong and moving that would definitely lead you to another world, a world full of sympathy, happiness and love. I always feel the great pressure which the cinema bestowed upon me. It makes myself to fall in a huge intensity which covers my whole body.
In the first part of the movie, which shows a typical, ordinary scenario in a church, my ears keep hearing the overwhelming music of the sound track. My eyes were closed but my ears were opened. Then several thoughts have come to my mind while I was enjoying that sound. This time, I have realize what do I have to be precious and to be treasured. Do I have something to cultivate inside of me that lie deep within myself? Unseen treasure? Curiosity then follows to the fact that the title of the film expresses a mysterious but unified idea: to appreciate and be thankful to what you have possess , either unseen or a visible treasure.
Dialogues were deeply moving. The acts were committed to be exceptional. All of the cast were all well-trained and developed with striking lines and words. In accordance to this is the emotional uplifting, heavenly musical accompaniment blended in the movie which adds the poignancy and to the story of the film itself.
It is indeed a simple family oriented saga but an unforgettable work of art. Everyone is all dramatically in focus; antagonists became protagonists. Message, story, idea of the cinema expressed... all of them shows how our identity and culture truly was.
The things that would remind me a lot when I have just finished watching the film were the idea that we, Filipinos, gave much high value on our religious belief and love our God wherever and whenever we face difficulties and struggling circumstances. We always built our faith strong enough to cope up for the big battle. We always stay close to Him. Though we all witness long-suppressed pains and successive resentments, we frequently believe that God is always be right there.
At last, whenever you would feel that you like to experience the same as I had experience, just watch the must-see movie and discover for your own sake what these "unseen" treasures lie deep and buried in yourself and into your life!
