Felix Manalo (2015)

That was an excellent one.

Sorry, this movie sucks

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Initially, the teaser trailer was made elegantly. It was giving goosebumps to most viewers. The timing of shots was made to beautifully craft the story.The performance of Dennis Trillo, memorizing long lines was delivered naturally. Bella Padilla acted greatly giving life to a more watchable film in the sense that the film not only became historical but also love story.The story also tells how the Iglesia Ni Cristo, a religious organization in the Philippines has started. It started from humble beginnings in Punta Sta. Ana Manila. Being a minority religion in the Philippines, it was able to overcome many obstacles.Now, Iglesia Cristo holds many titles at Guinness World Book of Records due to member's unity which was explained in this film.

I rate it 10 because biographical film "Felix Manalo" is really inspiring and can really inspire the lives of many! It shows the humble beginnings of the Iglesia Ni Cristo and it moves our faith that this church's really belongs to Him. An eye-opener to everyone and a must-see film! I just want to clarify things; we are not required to watch this film. It was our heart that wants to watch this biographical film. It made us proud as an Iglesia Ni Cristo member. Two thumbs up for Mr. Dennis Trillo for portraying our beloved first Executive Minister, Brother "Felix Manalo". You did a great job po. The acting is SUPERB! Thank you also for directing this film Direct Joel Lamangan. It touched our life and especially our Faith.Ms. Bella Padilla is also great in her acting! Thank you po. The cinematography, production design, location, props, costumes, and scoring of this film is also great and well defined. The sepia effect will also move you; it was like you were really back in old time especially during 1900's and as if you were travelling in different places in the Philippines. The effect perfectly fits in the film. Until now, I can't even hold my tears while remembering and recalling every scenes in this film especially my favorite line when Ka Felix said "I did not received my calling from you, but from God". It actually gives chills. Teachings inside the church are from the bible. "Walang labis at walang kulang". This film will also show you the history of our faith. This movie also tackles our faith, on how we should love and not to lose hope. I will now wait for the 6-hour uncut of this movie on DVD. I can't really wait to have a copy of it. My family is also excited to watch the 6-hour movie.Everything about this movie is so beautiful, truly AMAZING and monumental. You can also learn many things in the movie. A must watch for everyone! It is still showing nationwide and already reached half way around the world, it last premieres in London! Everyone is invited to watch! This powerful movie will also answer your questions about our church. What are you waiting for? Visit the nearest cinema near you!

I thank our Almighty God, and our Lord Jesus Christ for allowing us to share the life story movie of Felix Y. Manalo, messenger of God in these last days. It is a very inspiring two-and-a-half hour movie. This film portrays how the Church of Christ, which is now in more than 100 countries, territories, consisting of different nationalities started in a very humble beginning. It possibly could not be done by just one man, but it is evident and possible with the help and guidance of the Almighty. You can witness how the chosen actors and actresses of this film masterfully played each character in the story. It is well written! I can't wait for the full version to come out.

The transition of his life to how he was able to reach the gap of horses and cars is amazing. It was also an amazing depiction to how he endured the hardships of the Japanese occupation and the whole movie is moving all through itself. Most scenes escalated quickly despite the movie being that long. I guess the real movie was supposedly 6 hours and it would've explained more about the movie. The actors were all famous and the portrayed their roles perfectly well. The religious influence is inspirational and the movie is something you should watch when you really want to know more about the history of this religion. Great production design by the way.
