Wonderfully soft and real movie about women
1 February 2010
I LIKED the fact that there was no music as in most Hollywood movies where the music guides the viewer into whatever emotion or mood you're supposed to feel or experience in a particular scene. Here you sit and observe life. You are left to feel or not whatever. That's life. I felt like I was sitting there and part of a group of people whom I have known all my life. Life can be boring much of the time. Life is not a Hollywood spectacular with music and car chases and fancy locations. It's not about huge and terribly significant issues. If one looks at ones life you realize that it's all about getting up, brushing your teeth, having a simple cup of coffee, going to work, leaving work, going to the grocery store to buy stuff for dinner, having dinner and then going to bed. That's it! Most of the time for most people. Very ordinary, very mundane. But if you're interested in learning how a "mujer latina" might feel as these three ladies did it's a wonderful movie. Of course, in the long run it applies to many women "latina" or not. I don't know how many times, as I watched each of them, I found myself agreeing or thinking "gosh, I know how she feels," or "That's me! I know exactly what she's going through." I've seen those girls in Tucson a million times. I've seen all of them a million times. I don't think it's a film for most young people today because all they want is to be entertained.
