Movie Reviews of Miracle of Marcelino
Movie Review: I can't believe this is on DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
I was about nine years old when my father took of to the usual saturday afternoon double feature. He loved taking us to horror movies, this day was with a warewolf movie with the Miracle of Marcelino as the second featurn. Maybe because I was so firghtened by the first movie that I sat glued to the second. I was adoped at the age of six months, but didn't find this fact out until after I had seen this movie. Let me say that I was that little boy who wanted to see his mother and would have given anything to have been in his place. It was the need to fill that empty place in my heart I had but didn't recognize at the time, but came to realize when I was finally told that I was adopted and that both of my birth parents were deceased. This turned out to be untrue, but here I am at the age of 60 and still realizing the depth of those emotions then and now. My adoptive parent are no longer alive and my birth mother has forbidden any contact with her or her family even after she dies. I guess, what I saw in this little movie was a life truth, the need to complete ourselves, get in touch with our roots and to be nurtured if we weren't as a baby or small child. I would recommend it to anyone. I am buying it and can't wait to see it again for the first time since I saw it with my parents as a child.Movie Review: Beautiful
Summary: 5 Stars
Add me to the list of those who saw this movie over 40 years ago as a young child. I saw it once and it stayed with me all these years until I finally found it on DVD and immediately bought it. The story of young Marcelino who is found abandoned at the doorway to a monastery and taken in by the monks is very moving and beautifully filmed. The first three-quarters of the film sets the scene in showing how much Marcelino is loved by the monks as they raise him, but yet he misses having a mother and constantly asks everyone about theirs and his. Like all children, he eventually gets into a bit of mischief and strays into areas where he's told not to go. There he meets a most loving friend....This film is so well done both in the way it is photographed and in telling a simple, loving story that it would be a shame not to see it. There's a lot of humor in it, too, which is something I did not recall. When I watched it a couple of weeks ago for the first time in 40 years, I was anything but disappointed--it was much better and much more an of an intimate story than I remembered. Enjoy.Movie Review: Poignant and unforgettable film!
Summary: 5 Stars
A little orphan is raised by monks and eventually protagonist of a miracle .
Pablito Calvo signed his name as one of the greatest performances in the screen given for a child .In this selected group I think to my mind : The blue bird (Shirley Temple), The miracle worker , Forbidden games , Ivan childhood , Life is beautiful , Cinema Paradiso , Paper moon , The piano , The stone boy , Mouchette , Kolya, The search ,The boy with the green hair, Bad seed , and obviously , this one .
Wonderful and magnificent entertainment for all the family.
Unfortunately translated into Spanish as Marcelino , pan y vino . Marcelino , bread and wine . Absurd : Don 't you ?.
This fact confirms once more the validity of that old chinesse sentence : all translating is a treason:
Movie Review: The sweetest movie about an innocent kid and his faith.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been watching this movie all my live!! And every time that I watch it again, I still cry!
My husband remembered how much I love this movie and he gave it to me as a part of the mother's day gift.
The story revolves around Marcelino, a young child abandoned as a baby on a monastery in eighteenth-century in Spain and how he grows into a cute, well-meaning, but lonely boy who is always innocently getting into trouble.
The main story is told in flashback in which a monk visits a sick girl, and tells her the story of Marcelino for inspiration.
You will enjoy it as a quietly moving religious fable. The film remains one of the most famous and successful foreign films of the mid 1950's.
Movie Review: Childhood Religious Apparitions
Summary: 5 Stars
This Spanish film was made in 1955. It is a dubbed version, and as with older dubbed foreign films it can be a little distracting. However the content of the film is an innocent and sweet telling of the story of an orphaned boy raised by monks in a monastery in Spain in the early part of the 19th century. The film depicts a series of religious apparition experiences that lead to an unexpected ending.
The film is not filled with spiritual experiences or religious propaganda. It tells a story about the life of a little boy. I recommend this film. It is a must see for people who are interested in children's religious apparition experiences.
