Ask the Dust (2006)
6/10
Not so great as it looks at first

Warning: Spoilers
I thought ''Ask the Dust'' would be a nice movie,but I need to say that it doesn't have anything special, it is an ordinary romantic movie with some drama during the Great Depression in the 30's. Some things are so obvious, like when you see the character Camilla Lopez coughing and blood splits out, you know she is going to die, eventually. (By the way, it remembered me the scene where Satine, from Moulin Rouge, is sick of tuberculosis and coughing a lot, splitting blood in a hankie like Camilla)

PS1:I am surprised to see Tom Cruise is one of the producers of this movie.

PS2: No, I didn't read the book. But the theme is interesting. This thing about being from other country and trying to settle down in other place interests me a lot. And I think it so beautiful that both Camilla, who wanted a Caucasian American to marry and share his name, and Arturo, who also wanted a blonde American to marry, fall in love, showing that in the end, those things doesn't matter at all.
