Honor Thy Father is the kind of movie that you can relate in real life situations. The main problem of the protagonist is a financial problem which is a widespread occurrence throughout our country. At first, I thought the title was about the heavenly Father but then I realized that maybe it was about the father or breadwinner of the family. The movie shows how Edgar does everything for his family. It shows the love of a father that nothing can ever replace no matter how hard the situation gets. For Edgar giving up wasn't an option, he made several kinds of unthinkable plans for the sake of saving his family. I felt how desperate he was in the scene where he almost killed the preacher/minister. Minutes later he impudently stated, "Tigilan mo …show more content…

Kaye also convinces some of her friends to invest in this business as well. Edgar or Egay was always quiet as he watches from a distance. Later on, it is revealed that her dad's business is a scam. Kaye and Edgar didn't just lose their own money, but lost their friends' money as well. After that, the whole film basically just shows how Edgar tries to keep his family safe from those swindled investors that threatened to do 'what is necessary' to get their money back. Edgar did whatever it takes to keep his family safe; he shows that he is willing to give up his morality in order for him to defend the one thing that matters most to him. In my opinion, the film shows cruds and hypocrites in almost all kinds. It focuses on how crisis removes societal projections and reveal the primality of who we are. In the first part of the movie, people were saying "Yeshua will provide. Alleluia!" but when the wallets of these same people were threatened, they suddenly turn into greedy, bloodthirsty, merciless animals. Even the preacher or minister was greedy and manipulative as heck. He brainwashed those believers into getting him richer and richer.That is why I believe he deserved to be strangled by Edgar as I’ve mentioned

    I think the playwright hopes to teach people that money isn?t everything and that people who are arrogant and selfish will get their comeuppances eventually. The moral of the play still, applies to today?s society because it makes us think about the things we do that involve ignoring people less fortunate than us when we realise that there are Eva Smiths all around us just waiting for a chance to make it through the cruel world we live in.

    I feel as though the movie is trying to portray the Corruption of the American Society. One main element of the American society is the American Dream. They almost go hand in hand. The American Dream is; believing that although you might be poor you can become successful if you work hard enough. But Noah Cross, Evelyn’s father, was just cheating the system the whole time. Although Hollis Mulwray is the “genius” who developed the irrigation system, he was ultimately snuffed out by a man with power. That’s a close reflection of Wall Street. Wall Street is a place located in New York City where a lot of the United States financial industry is concentrated. It is home to the country's two major stock exchange, the New York Stock exchange and the American Stock Exchange. This place is tied to a lot of the country’s wellbeing economically wise.
