Anak (movie)

Movie: Anak starring Vilma Santos and Claudine Barreto. This Filipino movie is about a rebellious daughter that hates her mother so much since her mother is an OFW and she is not with them during their growth. This movie is very spectacular and we can learn many lessons in this movie. It really describes the Filipino family today.

Filipino families now are so much different compared to the situation of the Filipino families before. Many Overseas Filipino Workers can relate with this movie. The movie focuses on the relationship of a parent and a child who comes across a trial which concerns misunderstanding due to communication gaps between the daughter (portrayed by Claudine Barretto) and the mother (portrayed by Vilma Santos). The moral evolves around the understanding of a child to his or her parents trying to make a living for the whole family, to have a better future of his or her children and most especially to meet their needs.

In Philippines, many have worked abroad to strengthen their livelihood and to look for success. Children must understand the hardships of their parents. One of the major reasons why Filipinos migrate abroad is because of lesser job opportunities here in Philippines.

Both have to realize these shortcomings and constant communication is a must to avoid these gaps. Filipino parents will always wish the best things for their children. Open communication is the solution. Distance is not a hindrance to a Filipino parent to show how he or she cares for his or her children.
