ANALYSIS & INTERPRETATION

The film successfully showed the individual life of every member of the Salazar Family

without having to add unapplicable scenes which make it watchable for everyone of any age.

Audiences are also able to find themselves understanding each character in the film, as they may

have experienced the same hardships as them. Many people are like Teddie who supports her

family by working as an Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW). Students can be with the same situation

as Bobbie who strives to be strong because her family has a high expectation for her. It can never be

good in the feelings of a person to be branded as the black sheep of the family. There will always be

the one who will never have their own spotlight and be obedient all the time like Gabbie. Lastly,

every youngest child can understand Cj’s situation as others thinks that his decisions are still out of

impulse because of his position in the family that never changes.

Viewers did not also fail to have romantic excitement in watching the romantic moments in

the movie, although it changed as the movie turn in the dark side of romance. People who are and

been in a relationship can definitely share sympathy and sentiments with the characters. It can be

seen that in Bobbie has a complicated condition with her boyfriend, but they both still push

themselves into difficult situation wherein they will sacrifice a lot to be together. In contrast to this,

there can always be unfaithful partners that viewers may be aware of and can understand Alex’s

response when she has been cheated on by her boyfriend. It leads the film to show some cursing and

fighting scenes, but it doesn’t end up to be traumatizing for young viewers. In Cj’s situation shows

what young love can be. Everyone can attest that nowadays there are young people who tend to be

lost in the addictive wonderful moments of love and they make everything fast for them. There are

points that they still need guidance, but parents, older siblings and friends, should still know when to

let them be and do what they want.

 Another thing that the movie effectively showed where viewers can relate from, is the fact

that love will always exist within a family no matter what. This can be seen in emotional moments of

the movie which brought tears of joy to the audience. The members of Salazar Family may have

caused pain, confusion, and anger for each other, but they find themselves accepting it all and

forgiving one another. Numerous problems tested them that sometimes the care seems to be lost.

There were misunderstanding and fights that can affect their relationship. There were also blaming of

who did right or who is wrong. They even almost convince themselves not to trust each other

anymore, but at the end of the day, love made them understand that in this world they only got each

other to get through any difficulties that may arise .

The film successfully depicted the individual lives of each member of the Salazar family without

the need for unnecessary sequences, making it suitable for audiences of all ages. Viewers can also find

themselves empathizing with each character in the film since they may have faced similar challenges.

Many people are like Teddie , who works as an Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) to support her family.

Students may find themselves in the same circumstances as Bobbie, who struggles to be strong in order

to meet her family's high expectations. Being labeled as the family's black sheep may never be pleasant

for a person's sentiments. There will always be someone like Gabbie who will never have their own

spotlight and will always be subservient. In connection to this, every youngest child understands Cj's

predicament, as others believe that his choices are not for the better and his actions are still made on

the spur of the moment due to his position in the family.

Viewers were equally enthralled by the romantic scenes in the film, although it shifted as the

film progressed towards the darker side of romance. People who are or have been in a relationship

can empathize and connect with the characters. It is clear that Bobbie and her partner have a

complicated relationship, yet they both continue to put themselves in tough situations in which they are
willing to make significant sacrifices in order to remain together. In contrast, there have always been

unfaithful partners, which viewers may be aware of and understand Alex's reaction to when her

boyfriend cheats on her. It leads to some profanity and fighting scenes in the film, but it is not disturbing

for young audiences. Cj's situation exemplifies what youthful love may be like. Everyone can agree to

the fact that there are young people nowadays who are addicted to the wonderful moments of love and

who make things happen fast for them. They still require direction at times, but their parents, older

siblings, and friends should know when to let them be and do what they want.

Another element that the film brilliantly demonstrated and to which viewers can relate is that

love will always remain inside a family, no matter what. This can be observed in the movie's emotional

scenes, which drove the audience to tears of delight. Salazar Family members may have caused each

other sorrow, uncertainty, and fury, but they have come to embrace it all and forgive one another.

Numerous issues put them to the test, and they appeared to lose their concern for each other at times.

There have been miscommunications and disagreements that have damaged their relationship. There

was also finger-pointing over who did what was right and who did what was wrong. They nearly

convinced themselves that they couldn't trust each other anymore, but love helped them realize that in

this world, they only had each other to help them get through any difficulties that may arise.
