I hesitate to write a post about a movie because it absolutely drives me CRAZY when people talk about movies and TV constantly. But, I talk about other things so this is forgivable, right??
Anyway, here it is, I’m going to write about a movie: Bella.
Cris and I are kind of picky movie watchers and have not really found a reliable system for movie recommendations. Thus, we find ourselves watching something really lame with “high” reviews or something interesting but unknown. Lately most have been thumbs-down for us, even though our movie qualifications aren’t very stiff: We don’t watch R. We aren’t set on a certain genre. We like SciFi if it’s good science fiction. Mostly we’ve decided that the plot makes the movie for us. All that aside, the main point of this post is: THIS WAS A GOOD MOVIE!
It’s called Bella. It’s about a chef at a restaurant, a waitress that gets fired, and a Latino family. Basically it’s about normal people and one guy’s soul. It was touching and interesting. It’s filmed in New York, but we thought Argentina at first. The perspective of flash-forwards instead of flashbacks throughout the movie was a good way to portray the ideas. We both liked the conclusion though it was unexpected; we can discuss it later if you watch it. Don’t watch much of the trailer because it will give away too much of the story (like all trailers seem to do lately), but it is definitely worth your dollar at the Redbox. It’s interesting, moral, not cliche, and worth your time.
Also, if you made it through reading all of that info, comment and let us know what one of your movie recommendations are. Maybe there’s a few more good ones out there.
