I was captivated by the acting, as well as the cinematography and
special effects contained on this great production. I'm glad to see
that the filmmakers and actors are bringing this kind of messages to
the world through art reminding us that love is the force that brings
us all together and that's the path to follow as humanity. I loved
Eduardo Verástegui's performance by showing Little Boy the importance
of faith. It made me think about how we must have the strength to
defend the truth even when some people don't see it. It also made me
remember that if we have the courage to go the right way and follow our
goals or dreams, based on good intentions, God will give us what we
need to get trough difficulties. Not only is it a very entertaining
movie with a deep emotional content, but it is also an example of
kindness and compassion, great job on bringing all together. The film
made me cry, laugh and feel identified at some point with the
characters. It takes you on an exciting emotional roller coaster with a
beautiful message at the end that will take your breath away.
