The Blossoming of Maximo Oliveros

Genre: Gay&Lesbian, Comedy, Romance, Drama


Movie review:
The plot of the movie is something original for me coz i have not watched any movies like this before. There are a lot of cute scenes but then it still touches the realities of life such as poverty, family, politics and falling in love. I am not surprised that it garnered a lot of awards outside of the country because both the cinematography and story ROARS.

Nathan Lopez who played Maximo Oliveros was believable in his character. However, i think JR Valentin needs more acting practice to match the caliber of his co-actors Ping Medina, Soliman Cruz and Neil Ryan Sese . Although it is unusual, it is endearing to watch a family of macho guys who loves Maxi despite his homosexuality.

The ending was sad. But it teaches one to go on and persevere despite the hardships in life. Don't stop aspiring for the best.

Purrfect to Watch: Worth it to be seen on a Big Screen.

Purrvorite Quote:

Victor (JR Valentin): "Maxi, maraming masamang tao sa mundong ito. Kung hindi mo sila tatapatan, walang mangyayari."
Maxi (Nathan Lopez): "Oo maraming masamang tao sa mundo, pero iisa lang ang papa ko."

Purrvorite Scenes:
A) It is Maxi's nature to be helpful so he drag this poor dirty kid from the street and gave him a bath. Kinda funny.
B) Young Gay Kids doing a mini pageant by themselves. All the kids were good actor. There was one kid, during the talent competition, he gave a drama spiel. He was really good because he was doing drama and comedy at the same time. "Nay! Nay! Naaaayyy!!" (saw his mom on the floor and he dropped into his knees) "Naay! gumising kayo. May dala pa naman akong pancit. Nay! mas malamig pa kayo sa pancit na dala ko!"

C) Maxi ran to stop his father from killing Victor but then it was his father who got killed
D) I would say that some of the cute scenes was between Maxi and Victor because Maxi developed a crush/love towards this guy. There was also one scene where Maxi queried Victor about his dream girl.
