I have recently watched the most heart wrenching, straining, breaking, and completely shattering movie with my family: Instructions Not Included. This movie is directed and stared by Eugenio Derbez. He completely wrote the script and even included his wife! And my hat goes off to him because gods was this movie was good. I completely recommend this movie for all the lovers of a strong daughter and father relationships and I summon all of the Daddies Girls out there. In the movie, basically what happens is that Derbez is a top notch playboy in Acapulco and sleeps with many many woman. As a result he get a knock at his door and one of his ladies comes back with a baby. And well you can probably guess the rest. It is a wonderful story of how a father will do anything to keep his daughter happy and joyful.
The movie turned on those brain juices and got me thinking how beautiful people are. People, when being honest and truly themselves, I honestly believe are good true people. I read an idea/quote from a novel, that I currently forget which it is, (I keep thinking its "The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair but I think its "Heart of Darkness" by Joseph Conrad) where the main character believe that everyone is born evil and with evil intentions. One must be turned good, if possible, because people are born with horrid intentions. For a time I believed this was true, because it made sense in my head. I've my share fair of people commit evil or "ungood" intentions. I suppose it is the way I was raised. I see it as my parents raise my siblings. They raise them with anger, no patience, molding them into little adult people they believe is right. They also yell and respond in ways they shouldn't talk to children; its making them grow up faster. Anyways, I believed this was true; people are born evil. But now and then I see people who change my view now and then like the actors in this movie. It's nice to see truly good people in a world full of horrors and terror. (Excuse my exaggeration) I mean we all can't have the American Dream.
Basically my reaction at the end of the movie reenacted by Jessica Day. Oh the feels. They get me every time.
