The film Danzón, directed by Maria Novaro, was an interesting film. The film is about Julia, a telephone operator, who devotes her time to her little girl, her work, and to dancing. In the movie she dances with Carmelo, someone who she has never met but they always dance together. One day Carmelo does not come to dance and Julia leaves her daughter and her job to go find this man whom she never knew. In the end she returns to her house because she can not find him and in the room where they dance, she finds Carmelo. I liked the idea of the movie but it was a bit confusing in parts. It was not a very realistic film but with what they were trying to do I do not think there was a realistic way to do it. It's an adventure movie about following your heart. She felt something so strong, with Carmelo, that she left her little girl behind to look for him. I'm not sure if that's love or being a bad mother. They were trying to say that love is one of the most important things in life and you should never let it go. With that in mind, I think they did a good job in conveying that message. It was also a very advanced film. I say that because of their use of an actor who was a transvestite. Especially given that in the Latin American culture the transvestites do not play a big part. Using a transvestite opens the dialogue to the LGBTQ group. With dialogue you can advance the knowledge of these people and the argument they have. Danzón was an exceptional movie with a message that many people need to hear. I liked the movie a lot and recommend it to everyone who likes adventure and romantic movies.
