Nora Aunor stars in “Himala” as Elsa, a young girl who changes everyone’s lives when she reveals her connection to theVirgin Mary -!982.
"Walang himala! ang himala ay nasa puso ng tao!tayo ang gumagawa ng himala?( There is no miracle.the miracles are within us;in our hearts.we makae our own miracles"- ito ang pamosong linya ng aktres na hangang ngayon ay memoryado mapa bata o matanda man ngunit nakakalungko na dahil sa linyang ito may isang tanong sa aking isipan na sana'y masagot sa artikulong ito.
Nasaan na ba ang mga bida ng Himala?
Mahigit dalawangpu't taon na rin ang nakakalipas ng ipalabas ang pelikulang ito hindi lang sa pilipinas kundi sa buong mundo na kung saan kinilala ang galing ng pinoy sa pag-arte,isa rito ay ang tinaguriang Superstar ng bansa na si Nora Aunor.ang himala ang nagbigay ng pagkilala lalung-lalo si La Aunor bilang pinakamagaling na aktress( Metro Manila Film Festival 1982) at sa iba't ibang bansa)sa taong din iyong dahil na rin sa kakaibang pagganap nito bilang isang babaeng nagmimilagro.
Sa Pelikulang rin ito ipinapakita ang tradisyon at paniniwala ng mga Pilipino,Isa ito sa eksenang na kung saan buhat-buhat ng mga taong baryo si elsa(Nora Aunor-Character) na nagmimilagro.
Superstarstruck couldn't get enough of CNN's citation of Himala as one of Asia's best films of all time. So expect more features on Himala.
Before CNN did, local and international critics had acknowledged Himala as one of the greatest Filipino films ever. Here's what some of them say about the film:
Himala is definitely world class.

Himala is definitely world class.
– Alfred Yuson
A parable of “art” and “life,” faith and fact, hope and despair, in a society driven to desperation by widespread destitution.
– Bienvenido Lumbera, National Artist for Literature
This is Ishmael Bernal at his mature best. The crowd scenes are excellent, the quiet scenes of Aunor are great, and the whole concept is almost—excuse me—supernatural.
– Isagani Cruz
Himala has the decided advantage of being major-league and universal.
– Joel David
Bernal at his neorealist best.
– Wilfrido D. Nolledo
The film bitingly, hypnotically and realistically captures the mixed-up and often confused rural Philippine traditions that are full of contradictions
– Variety
The ensemble of complex and intriguing characters, the effectively austere semi-documentary camera work, the richly textured mise en scene, and the haunting musical score, make Himala, in more ways than one, a miracle of Third World cinema.
– Antonio D. Sison
It might take some time before Bernal can be deconstructed through his works, but it may be Himala, his greatest work, that may yet give us the best clue to his mind.
– Fernando V. Beup Jr.
Bernal is concerned about the multiple evils spawned by Elsa’s feats, from the commercialism corrupting the villagers, to the fanaticism of the faithful. As we should all beware, mindless obedience breeds ignorance, fear, and mental stasis. It gives false hopes and empty dreams and makes the fanatic blind to the realities—and evils—around.
– Mario Hernando
Here’s a film that excels in capturing the mixed-up and contradictory small-town customs and backward lifestyles of rural Philippines.
– Mel Tobias
As flawless as any film can possibly be, Himala reveals Ishmael Bernal’s mastery of the film form. Himala has both epic sweep and visual lyricism as well as stark realism and poetic symbolism, areas of expression where film, like poetry, can fulfill itself in the creative processes of inspired direction.
– T.D. Agcaoili
Ang damdaming binigay ng Himala sa manonood ay mahirap maabot ng maski anong pelikula sa darating na panahon.

"ilan sa mga ito ang pumupuri sa kagandahan ng pelikula ng kung saan ang himala ay isa sa mga pinamaganda pelikula ng gawang pinoy na mismong ang sikat na news network television na CNN ay humahanga sa pelikulang ito dahil pinarangalan nito ang nasabing pelikula bilang One of the Best Asian Films of All Time - CNN International.
Tumatak sa kasaysayan ng pilipinas sa panahong din iyong na kung saan kumita ito ng mahigit tatlongpu' t milyong peso.sa kabila nito ang pelikulang din ito unang nagsama-sama ang mga artista ng radyo at teatro,dito rin ang naging training ground ng mga artista,staffs at direktor nito.hindi kasi biro ang gumawa ng pelikula tulad nito na kinakailang gumamit ng maraming tao sa mga bawat eksena.ayon kasi sa mga datos na aking nabasa.Ang pelikulang rin ito ay naghakot ng maraming parangal hindi lang dito sa lluob at labas ng bansa tulad ng sumusunod;Best picture,best supporting actress(Gigi Duenas-Nimia),Best Supporting Actor(Spankey Manikan-Orly),Best Director(Eshmael Bernal),Best story(Ricky lee),Best Cinematography(Sergio Lobo),Best editing(Ike Jarlego),best Production Design (Raquel Villavicencio),(Bronze Hugo Prize sa taong 1983 sa 19th chicago International Film Festival,(1983-Berlin International Film Festival),
Dahil sa Tinamasan nitong kasikatan,marami pa rin sa ating mga pilipino ay hinahanap ang mga artistang nagsiganap lalo na ang mga kabataan na nahihilig sa paggawa ng pelikula kasama na po ang inyong lingkod.
Nasaan na kaya ang mahal natin na si La Aunor? Bakit nito iniwan ang bansa na nagbigay ng Pangalan at kasikatan na tinamasa nito?
yang ang ilan mga katanungan ng mga kabataan na nakakausap ko sa pang-araw-araw ng aking pananaliksik dito sa bayang sinilangan na tinawag na Pilipinas ,kung bakit lubhang nakaapekto sa estado sa Pelikulang Pinoy?
Nakakalungkot isipin sa kasalaukuyan panahon;iilan na lang sa atin ang nakakagawa na pelikula na pwedeng ipagmalaki saan man sulok ng mundo.
Babala:
Hindi po ako naghahanap ng pag umpisahan ng kaguluhan kundi kasagutan na pwede kung isagot sa mga batang may angking galing at interes sa pelikulang pinoy.
Ako Si Indoy
