Yesterday, July 27 was the opening of the movie "Ignacio de Loyola," in theaters nationwide. This evening, my entire family was able to watch it at Alabang Town Center Cinema 4.
I usually do not write about movies, so I will not attempt to tackle in detail Ignacio de Loyola's artistic and technical merits. If there is one message that I have to state clearly: it is a MUST SEE.
Based on the autobiography of St. Ignatius of Loyola, the movie depicted the dramatic conversion of Inigo from being a soldier, a man of the world to a knight of God.
The almost two hours of screen time was visually grand and emotionally engaging. "Discernment. First Principle. Indifference. Consolation. Desolation. Spiritual Exercises. Prayer for Generosity." These terms were defined in the movie in a manner understandable readily by a lay audience.
When I saw the end credits, I felt proud that Filipino talent and regional collaboration were behind the impressive production of this movie produced by JesCom, Click here to view the trailer.
I consider this film as one of the best I have ever seen, and I encourage everyone to go see it and help spread the word.
