María Candelaria (Xochimilco) (1944)
this movie rocks!
I saw this movie the other day, and I thought it was awesome. It never ceases to amaze me that there are good movies out there that don't have any computer animation or fancy lighting.
This movie is very simple but very powerful at the same time, not only in terms of lighting and stage work, but also in the manner in which "El Indio" portrayed María Candelaria and the other characters. The supporting characters also do a wonderful job of adding authenticity and support to the movie.
I highly recommend that you see this movie if you haven't already. Dolores del Río does an incredible job playing María Candelaria. Her interpretation of the story is excellent.
The House of the Spirits (1993)
this movie is amazing!
I have seen this movie, and it is incredible. I read the book first in school, and I loved it. Later, I saw the movie, and it is incredible.
I highly recommend it, and everyone should see it if they haven't already.
It took me a while to realize that Winona Ryder played Blanca.
The photography is incredible, the plot is amazing, and the story is really interesting. Isabel Allende paints a marvelous picture of life in Latin America before the Second World War.
I also really liked the costumes.
