Hello beautiful people of #CineTV . I loved the movie "Paternity " based on real events. I was captivated and loved a man who accepted and assumed fatherhood, with all its vicissitudes but with much love, fear, acceptance and I remembered my father, -the best in this world- and I thought that if it had been his turn to live Matt's life, he would have lived it to the fullest and happily.
Because he was an exemplary father, he loved us, he protected us and I know he would have given his life for us and wherever he is I honor him and thank God for having placed him in my life and on the other hand I remembered the death of a cousin a long time ago -the circumstances are somewhat similar-.
In the distance, voices were heard murmuring and at the end the inconsolable cry of Maddy, a beautiful baby girl who has been orphaned, since her mother Liz died hours after giving birth to her ..., it seemed that the baby girl from the fibers of her being, sensed that something had happened, because she did not stop crying, her father and family, have cried inconsolably, they still can not get out of their stupor, they wondered what happened?
Events like this could have happened anywhere in the world, this movie "Paternity", moved the fibers of my being, I cried inconsolably -I am really very tearful- although I also laughed because it had very beautiful and emblematic scenes that father and daughter lived.
Losing a loved one, that must have been the most painful thing in the world, experienced by actor Kevin Hart, who masterfully played the charismatic Matt, a man whose life was turned upside down.
Matt plays the exemplary role of the worried father, with his own fears about the situation he has lived through. He went into shock, was stunned by the death of his beloved wife and has not come out of the mourning very well - it was hard to come out of it - when he took care of Maddy.
His mother and mother-in-law thought he was incompetent at raising her. He still wonders: What happened? He didn't even say goodbye to his wife before she died? he didn't hold her hand, it all happened so fast. No one has an answer. This is one of the many shocking scenes of this paradoxical movie, it is beautiful and sad at the same time.
He took care of his baby girl, with all the fears that can be present in any human being, he faced his relatives and the world, since by culture some people still think that a father does not have the capacity for the care and upbringing of children.

Some people are even more mistaken, because they did not know my beautiful father, who cooked, changed diapers, loved and cared for us with all the humility in the world, supported and helped my mother in our education and support. According to my appreciation Matt did very well. In the absence of his wife and against all odds.
Since there is no manual for raising babies. I loved how he went through a thousand and one adventures to give quality of life to his baby girl, to fit in, to enjoy, to share and the recognition he had to know that he needed support, help, because he could not do it alone and to understand that she needed her family, both paternal and maternal.
The scene where he looked at her lying in bed and she went into a state of shock, stirred part of the fibers of my being, when I recalled and rummaged in my thoughts the moment when my cousin died of pancreatitis - a long time ago, it seems like yesterday - leaving her husband in total consternation, with her baby in her arms, barely six months old. I still remember it and it tears my soul, she is already a beautiful lady.
In Matt's case, he also knew how to do a good job, I helped him change the diapers and tell me when he was throwing them in the basketball basket, je,je,je, more than once I tried to catch them, but they were hitting the wall, and I had no choice but to clean the wall full of poop, heh, heh, heh, heh. There was something very important that he had from the first moment and that was that he was willing, cared, protected and dedicated to Maddy.
He had to go through a trial by fire, he left his daughter at her maternal grandparents' house, because he thought he could not handle all that responsibility, he said goodbye to her and left with a broken heart. He made a retrospective of his life, of everything he lived with his beautiful baby girl, that was his Princesita.
And he decided to be happy with his daughter. He went in search of her and when they looked at each other, it seemed that time stopped and they embraced. She is that little piece of heaven that was born from a great love. A being that came into his life and changed it, but at the same time transformed it in such a way that the gray days seemed to become multicolored, like a rainbow, she was his greatest happiness.
As my cousin once told me: "I never imagined raising my beautiful little princess without her mother's help". He went on and those words are forever stuck in my heart: "If I didn't believe that there was a God, I think I would have gone crazy, maybe committed suicide, but when I looked at that angel, who was waiting for me and was the fruit of my love, I decided to dedicate my days to my daughter, body and soul".
That is the very similar case that lived the beautiful and spectacular Matt, a widowed man with a baby girl whom he raised, against all odds in the most imperfect way -because perfection does not exist-, but with much love and attention, he taught her part of what his life was, and obviously, he wore pants and not skirts heh heh heh. Then, to complete his daughter's happiness, her dad got ...
One of the beautiful messages of the movie is when Matt understood that he loves Maddy above anything else, she is the most important thing in his life, she is his responsibility and he didn't let others decide for his life. He assumed his fatherhood with love and dedication. And the special code between them to show their love for each other: "Two kisses for Maddy".
One of the most sublime and magical scenes was when Maddy says to her dad: "Wherever you are, I want to go there "and he replied: "And so do I ".
The film features a masterful performance by Kevin Hart, in the role of a singular and extraordinary father who is affectionately called Matt, and places his heart to perform the most beautiful action which is to commit to take care of a little piece of his life that by circumstances of destiny has been entrusted to him, that is one of the most beautiful acts of love.
Actress Melody Hurd in the excellent interpretation of Maddy-a very mature girl for her age, raised among men, who learned to be happy with her reality, her father was so great, that she hardly ever felt the lack of her mother, as her dad did his best to let her know her through his eyes. Well, Liz was the great love of his life and now Maddy.
They proved that love can do anything, that the memory of their mother would always be present in their lives in a positive way. I particularly loved the movie, I invite you to watch the trailer, through the following link.
By teaming up, it helped them to face the world and to know that true friendship does exist, it is noble, it is true. That without the help of friends it is more difficult to cope with situations that need to be solved and something important, Matt understood that in life human beings cannot live in isolation. That people should know their roots, in order to strengthen the filial ties.
In the end, everyone understood what their respective roles were in the life of the beautiful Maddy, and she was happy.
My maternal family and I, with the death of my cousin, understood that life is ephemeral, the people who were by our side in a matter of minutes may simply no longer be there. The universe gives us the opportunity to live, and the moments enjoyed should be to the fullest with the people we love and that sometimes life puts us tests, which are challenges and we must assume them with all the love and willingness possible.
This is my entry in the initiative Cinema TV Contest #33 - Favorite movie with a prominent father.
