A loving stable family is the bedrock of a good society.
It has taken me about a year and a half of solitude to begin to see light at the end of as long, dark and cold tunnel. I still have much to learn and solidify, and these videos are making things nice. It truly is the simple things in life that can really help with the bigger things. I will give myself at least one more year and a half to fully form as a human being. If you get a chance, give yourself a much needed break from everything.
❤🤝 I hope things keep getting better for you. 🙏
Proud that this is a story from my country Puerto Rico!
Universal truths. The Roots of Happiness shows the key to successful family life.
Healthy family is a key to a healthy society.
the tree and the family stand side by side at the end is such a poetical touch to the movie. Sweet!
Gotta show this in schools ASAP😊
I'm watching this again and feel so strange about. It tells you all ... To the point mentally. It describes so many ways how many Latin people from Puerto Rico grew up. So eerie .
This is how i want my family
As simple and paternalistic as this film is I feel that a lot of young parents even today could benefit from it's message. Something like the "Thrive at Five" free TED talk says the same thing. Your babies and little ones need face to face interaction. Even as little as five minutes talking or watching your baby and toddler will benefit them. They need to know that they truly exist. So many true crime cases seem to be about seriously neglected children.
11:06 that's a clothes iron. We used that as a child in the pacific Islands. Charcoal from the fireplace was inserted to heat the 'iron' .
The family tree = the tree of life.
such a great educational video wow
Cartisa Brown, ^^^^ Such a beautiful woman ^^^^ ;)
Very nice story
So was Lassie.
@@joleneloveland2942 Oh, this is Roots of Happiness!
wisdom...
so im messed up cus i grew up in a broken home fantastic 😀 hopefully time will heal
Run Jaunito, run.
Why
Absolutely BRILLIANT film! Now, one can see how far we are right now from making any sense. Woke culture. Faking reality. Fatherless families are norm. Mentally ill outcome.
Woke is a instrument of suffering.
Tony Thorne, the author of “Dictionary of Contemporary Slang,” tells David Remnick. “The references to ‘woke’ before 2016, 2017, 2018 were kind of straightforward. It means ‘socially aware,’ ‘empathetic,’ ” Thorne says. “Then the right, the conservative right, seizes hold of this word,” to heap blame on it for everything from deadly mass shootings to lower military recruitment.
Yes we should all be farming tobacco and other crops in the hot sun. 3:10
“The work is hard the land is cool, it is difficult for a man to earn a living” 3:18
This is the story of how people are, how they act with each other, how they are happy and contented, or miserable and afraid, the problems they have 3:45
When the house hold has a significant large amount of children living in the home some of the children take on secondary parental roll. 14:29
Having arguments in-front of the children isn’t okay. 15:30
You clearly didn’t watch the film living in poverty, doing backbreaking farm work in the hot sun and still being poor isn’t something that most sensible people want. Arguing especially in front of children isn’t okay. It’s a great film I’ll give you that, but most of us in upper middle and high class would rather not be in their situation. 👍🏼
Boy do we see the world differently. If the world was this way and so great, how did we end up in your “woke” world?
My grandmother abandoned her nine children.As a result some of them developed personality disorders and some developed alcoholism
11:19 "A wise man never plants more trees than he can care for. Fewer trees well spaced properly cultivated, will grow better than many trees planted too close together. It is a foolish man who brags, 'Look how many trees I have planted!', forgetting that he may not be able to care for them properly. Forgetting how much water young trees need."
If only they could invent a rubber tent to cover the trees, so their seeds don't accidentally spread all over the property and make unwanted trees.
OR maybe they can wait until the unwanted trees grow up and bear fruit, and then the foolish man can make money from the fruit of the unwanted trees.
There are plenty of men like this around today ladies just keep looking and never settle
😂😂😂😂😂😂You seriously think women are empty vessels without a man😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
gotta go to another country to find one though
Every thinking creature needs - Absolutely Needs - a 5th element: Validation
Without validation, the person breaks down.
[Gas lighting is an effective tool to crush and destroy a man]
True, but gas lighting effects women and children also✌🏼
False. Some of us have SELF confidence.
@@squirrelcovers6340 some of you clearly don’t know what gaslighting is, and also don’t know that self esteem isn’t innate. It has to be built in early childhood, and protected and fostered throughout life.
I wonder whatever became of Juanito?
He grew up and became Juan
@@rob16248 Probably so but what is he doing today?
Self isolating, I hope.
He raped and murdered women and children. Had a total body count of 34. Buried their corpses in the family fields. No one found out.
he was filled with peace honor and happiness for the days that came. Juan also had an understanding of the importance of trees and changed his name to the lorax. who cared and spoke for the trees.
all them kids dam
Now there's probably films about men living together, and if you don't agree with that ,there's something wrong with you.
Today, when some is diagnosed with a terminal illness, they are relieved to die.
if they have no more spirit hope or faith probably so.
:'(
13:09 - what he really said was for her to get water elsewhere cz this is the route of the cartel
😂😂😂
A wise man never plants more trees than he can take care of. Unless he's Catholic!
My grandmother was catholic and thus had 12, one of the children was run over during communism. Other than that, for those who survived communism, there was no regrets.
You can have 2 kids, then 2 more in 5 years or 6. Then it is easy. A child who's raised alone leaves bim isolated and lonely.
...or Black.
If he is Catholic, he probably owns a tree farm, i would imagine. And his wife is very tired with all of the hard work! So much for her wanting to be an accountant!
Do not diss Catholics shameful
@@rrobermiller 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wow. This explains my parents.😞
The angry family or the happy family?
@@RyanAl92 the ignorant family
I hope the cute baby didn't fall out of that hammock. Poor cherub
it looked perfectly happy to me
Sad music :'(
everything rests on the parents.
I should have watched this before I went out with my ex girlfriend, would have explained a lot 😕
You can't cure them. Meds are needed and therapy.
If not. You will be co / dependent on each other.
Its about boys and men
St John 3:16! 💓
JESUS is coming again SOON! HALLELUJAH! GOD is the Root of Happiness! GOD IS LOVE! GLORY!
Must be right around the corner!
Been looking forward to leaving.
Jesus can't come yet! We haven't had the seven year tribulation period as prophecized in the Book of Revelation!
Do you realise how completely mad you sound, in this day and age?
@@rob16248 Th
Th?
are we meant to be happy,are we just meant to be born eat work hunt and die,
Basically yes,
Eat, work, die. Once work is done, have fun. Work MUST be done.
Maybe not…Search Tim Jantosz
I lived in Puerto Rico for nearly two years and can vouch for the fact that these were fairly poor, downtrodden people who later benefited greatly from welfare and other social programs.
There are two sexes. Men and wives of true men.
Huh?
Misogynistic comment of the day award winner
@@squirrelcovers6340 That's not what I think--that's what the movie's all about.
@@squirrelcovers6340 Oh, shut up already.
uh no.
the fruit of the tree shows the quality of the tree.
a diseased fruit marks a sick or improperly cared for tree.
That cow was emaciated poor thing..
Huge emphasis on MAN. A true reflection of the position women occupied during the 1950s. Also a true reflection of the status of women in some countries today. Give women the right to assume the same status as men, and they will move mountains.
Compare this to the western world in 2023...
Wow a lot of these comments on here are just 😢
improperly cared for sick trees.
it is sad.
let them know TRUE-LOVE🕊🕊🙏🏼🌅🌄🖖🏽
The adolescent Puerto Rican girl is very attractive in this film. Juanito has a very nice older sister.
So many things in this video to comment on... and u have to be a nonce
What? There are no attractive ones here that will have you? So.....does this mean that you want us buy you an airline ticket? What do you think people....it might be worth it?
I think what he means is that he finds the images of the young girl in this film pleasing. While he watches them he can build a fantasy around the images where he is able be with the girl and please her and she in return is able please him. Unfortunately for him, she is not a real girl, with a real character, a real body and real feelings, she lives only in his imagination. He eats the rest of his pizza off the front of his shirt, opens another beer and a single solitary tear rolls down the side of his cheek. It is a sad story and it does not have a happy ending.
@@lucianisidro That is so touching! Ten times more than he's seen in the past year.😉👍
@@lucianisidrodamn!
uh oh, The boy learned about rabbits in school, the government corruption of the human soul begins. Kill and eat timid fluffy captive rabbits sitting in a cage in their own shit, is what we learn in school. So allegoricdl
Kind of a macho point of view, but hey, it WAS the 50's! A true man.......
The problem with Puerto Rico is so many Puerto Ricans
No, the problem with Puerto Rico is that it's run like a banana republic although it's supposed to be part of the United States.
Yet from 1945 to 1975 75% of the islands female population was forcibly sterilized without knowledge of the fact.
The problem with Puerto Rico is not enough geek-o's. It could far surpass silicon valley as a tropical yuppie paradise. The future is in micro technology.
@@kaleahcollins4567 How were they sterilized?
@@trixiec4880 Spiked bananas.
I just could not stand eating rice and beans everyday. I hate rice. It serves no purpose. Beans hold nutritional value but they are disgusting. Why can't these so called "MEN" build decent homes for their families. This shack has no glass in the windows. No furniture. Nothing. A real man will do EVERYTHING he can to provide a better life for his family. Better yet, a real man has already provided a nice environment before he starts a family.
One & Only J. Korbyn You must be fun a parties.
Yeah what's wrong with those people anyway? Dont they understand the importance of greed?
I do believe you’ve just disrespected and disenfranchised 3/4 of the world! 👏🤦🏻♀️
Don’t know they had much of a choice...😬Total poverty-lack of natural resources-lack of education and intellectual minds-harsh climate-under the rule of Spain and unforgiving Spanish overlords-desperate altogether. MANY rural Irish lived like this, too(cold, raw and rainy climate, though) Flooded my home and went on welfare back in the day. Not all, but a good amount. I don’t think they’ve been able to think for themselves.
Once that kid’s rabbit breeding empire takes off they will get that new Mercedes
