Lolo e Kid

This movie is probably not easy to watch if you are someone who has never struggled, experienced lost or know the depths of living in the streets.

Even though Lolo knew one way to survive the streets, he managed to overcome what I assume to be a deep depression and addiction in order to provide for a child that wasn't his.

I cannot imagine giving up the only thing that has brought hope to your life, but that is what this movie is about. The purest form of loving is letting go.

The child was an amazing actor and I am truly happy to watch a short, heartbreaking, well written film. For those questioning the "morality" in this film, it may be time to question a lack of knowledge and empathy.

"Lolo and the Kid " surprisingly not a family oriented movie due to it's theme but the movie is worth the experience. The first and second half of the film is about bonding and scamming of these two characters, Lolo (Joel Torre) and Kid (Euwenn Mikael Aleta). It's funny and you feel the special bond of these characters. The last is heartbreaking. Kid is now grown up (played by JK Labajo). This film may not be for everyone by that last half is great! I love JK Labajo's redition of "Through the Years" it is heartbreaking specially during that scene where he open the box and crying. I think everyone gives brilliant in comes to acting department. Kudos to Director Benedict Mique for giving us another great Filipino movie!

Overall, "Lolo and the Kid" ends with a usual Filipino movie now a days and that's making us crying. This film delivery what we want and that's family, adventure and a memory that's heartfelt.

You really shouldn't recommend this to children, as 16+ is maturity. Broad-minded people can understand what the film wants to convey to people. Because they are the ones who can understand the movie better, the scene where they steal from the rich, yes too good to be true, it seems like there is no such thing in reality, but maybe the characters who were robbed also exist. But the story was focused on Grandpa and the kid, how they met and how Grandpa supported and raised the child, in the beginning he worked because he was young, but when he got older, that's when they started asking for donations. Haha

But that's right, at first we don't really see the value of education, and the best teachers are the ones we've been through in life, I also agree that even if you don't have any education as long as you have a strategy, you can lift yourself up, and know . Be with others and respect each other. Many did not graduate but became rich.

Only people with really broad understanding can understand this movie.

The film is kinda cool, there are scenes that somehow touched the roots of Filipino audiences if I may say. I didn't cry like the most of viewers did. The scene with Iza is something very significant for me , it pierce my heart seeing someone you trusted betrays you despite if everything you've done for them. That scene in particular has given me deeper connection to the overall experience to the film but the hopes and the promise of future is still there. The acting of the kid is kinda awesome but at some point the way he acted , He seems to have so much experiences and at the same time the maturity of the character the way of delivery is something amazing.

THIS IS LITERALLY ONE OF THE TEARJERKING MOVIE I'VE EVER WATCH. It's literally the best movie! As someone who grew up with a grandparent, I can relate to this movie a lot. Also, I can't say this enough but the storyline, cinematography, actors, crew, director, and everyone else who played the part of making this movie. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! U GUYS DID A GOOD JOB! This movie literally bawled my eyes out and made me realized how lucky I am to have my grandparent. I love them so much. Hands down also to Joel and JK (also the kid who is playing) for their phenomenal acting that moved the audience hearts especially mine. THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND EVERYONE TO GIVE THIS MOVIE A CHANCE AND WATCH IT CUZ ITS THE BEST! :)
