Going back to the movie "Die Beautiful"; after Mr Ballesteros' win at TIFF, last Dec 29, 2016 he was able to bag also the Best Actor Award together with the Best supporting actor for Mr Bables.



In my point of view, Die beautiful is a great film because of these key ingredients

1. Good Story line
- apart from being too attached with mainstream movies, Die beautiful gave us a fresh air on this. A good story line indeed. A movie that tells about the balance between courage, responsibility, love, and the other face of relationships.

2. Originality
- die beautiful has presented a new concept of movie with great amount of creativity through its characters.

3. Good Cinematography
Scenes were captured in a manner that best illustrates it. Balanced enough.

4. Convincing portrayal of Character/s
- Most especially Mr Bables as (Barbs), He went through a space where he was able to portray such character as precised as he did. I don't know him personally but If he's a straight guy? I would be blown away.

5. Realism
Despite controversial theme, this movie was able to portray a real life scenario. Others may not be able to interact but many were able to believe, applaud and related.

6. Profound Message
A particular moral or ethic was able to deliver on this movie. Struggle through acceptance from society and own family.
