SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Connianatu How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

pirieandrew-92052 I was finally able to watch my copy of the Movie Thelma. Which stars Maja Salvador as the track runner Thelma. Also, the Interesting thing about this movie is it features the legendary Elma Muros 'Guest Appearance' as 'Coach Rose' her coach. Who recruits Thelma after she wins what appears to be a 400m in lanes at the Palarong Pambansa.  Most noteworthy was Muros also helped Salvador get in shape not just in reel but in real life.The 2011 release is an 'Indie' Film. (An indie film is an independently produced film with a limited shooting budget). It was released by Star Cinema and directed by Paul Soriano. Also, the interesting thing is that many provincial athletes from different sports can probably relate to Thelma's story. As this is not based on an individual but inspired by true stories. Hence I'm certain that Elma Muros who hails from the small island of Romblon off the coast of Luzon was also part of that inspiration.It was very interesting to see the lack of development in the province and how athletes dealt with it. Consequently, Thelma obviously grew strong from carrying sacks of rice and bottles of waters on the farm. And didn't require any sort of weight training. Also, the interesting the thing was how the track surfaces seemed to get better starting as dirt, then very old tartan, then slightly better tartan, to relatively new looking tartan as she progressed from city to district to regional to the Palarong Pambansa.
