Movie Review

This movie was different to me than most movies. Normally, I can figure out the plot by the first five minutes. With this movie, I could not. I like how the director started the movie with the end, then used the rest of the time explaining how they got there. The movie's plot was genius in how everything seemed ok, then everything fell apart. The view on how money will never fail us, then it did, and it destroyed everything I think is true.
My favorite part of the movie was how the men were contemplating and reasoning their deaths. My favorite line was, "When I was a teenager, I used to believe in God; I felt that He failed me; then, in my youth, I believed in Democracy as a tool for solving everybody's needs. It also failed me. Now, I am convinced that the only thing that deserves my faith is Money."

The movie Las viudas de los jueves was very interesting to say the least. The people in the movie were all suburban housewives and their husbands. They all looked very happy on the outside, but on the inside they were miserable. In the end, all but one husband killed himself because of the economic problems of the time. It was very interesting to see the people with so much money feel so miserable at the same time. I guess that proves that money does not buy happiness.
I really enjoyed this movie, and I might even watch it again. The plot was a little scattered and could have been planned out better. There should have been subtitles saying when we were in the past and when we were in the present. Other than that, it was an awesome movie.

Las viudas de los jueves was a very interesting film that really made the viewer aware psychologically connected with the conflicts and personal struggles that the characters in the film had. Illusions and irony made the film powerful to me. It was very ironic that while the characters were rich, successful people, they were all very troubled. This illusion that all was great on the outside when really the characters had many problems behind closed doors made the movie very attention-grabbing and unpredictable. One part of the movie that stuck with me the most was when Tano stated his "belief" in money. He mentioned that he was raised believing in God and the goodness of people, but these failed him, so money became his primary interest. However, in the end, guilt involving money and economic hardships made him suicidal and cost him his life. This is yet another example of irony in the film. I really enjoyed the film and wound not mind seeing it again.
