Movie Reviews of Camila
Movie Review: Una joya romantica
Summary: 5 Stars
Una historia veridica llevada al cine magistralmente. Todos los actores realizan unas actuaciones tan maravillosas que en realidad uno cree estar viviendo en el 1848...
Imanol Arias (Ladislao Gutierrez) transmite tanta pasion, amor y deseos prohibidos que es comprensible el por que Camila, sacrifica todo por el. Aparte de ser un actor increiblemente guapo, se adentra tanto en su personaje , que te hace llorar, amar, rezar y sufrir con el.
Mi escena favorita es cuando Camila le confiesa su amor y le dice que se esta muriendo de amor, el le dice que eso es natural a su edad, como queriendo ignorar que es de el que ella esta hablando. Su amor ya en ese momento es mutuo y el enferma de amor. Lucha entre su amor por Dios y su amor por ella.
Definitivamente una pelicula que merece la pena ver, maravillosamente actuada, con unos efectos de luces tenues
que le dan un toque de romanticismo, una musica fabulosa ,
unos dialogos en susurros entre los enamorados llenos de
pasion, la lucha carnal entre el amor humano y el amor a Dios y
un tragico final.
Mi pelicula favorita se la recomiendo a todos...
Movie Review: A Stunning and Memorable Movie.
Summary: 5 Stars
Set in Argentina during Rosas' dictatorship, Camila, directed by Luisa Bemberg, manages to make forbidden love seem like the ultimate sacrifice. Bemberg is a master of melodrama forcing us to focus on the romance between a beautiful Irish girl and a handsome Jesuit priest and forget that this love story is about sacrilege and indiscretion.
Based on the true story of Camila O'Gorman, the first woman in the history of Argentina to be executed. The cinematography is beautiful and the music is subtle. This movie works on so many levels. I'd hate to give away any of the incredible plot, but as a love story this has no comparison.
As a historical film we see Rosas as a ruthless dictator who got away with murder becuase the upper class looked away. Even though Camila came from the elite, and the priest was well connected, rules were not made to be broken. I'd hate to give away any of the incredible plot. Whether you're a fan of the romance genre or not, don't miss this memorable movie.
Movie Review: Love story in a time of political repression
Summary: 5 Stars
"Camila"(1984) is the first in what I consider to be a trilogy of films dealing with political repression and its consequences in Argentina, and by extension universally. This film is based on the true life of Camila O'Gorman, a wealthy young socialite, and her priest lover Uladislao Gutiérrez in the late 1840s Buenos Aires of dictator Juan Manuel de Rosas. When María Luisa Bemberg made this film, the military dictatorship of the 1970s and early 80s, with their years of torture and extra-judicial killings, had just ended the year before; but their sinister influence was still very prevalent. I consider this film a bold slap to their faces. This is an excellent film which tells the story of individuals, history and the costs of tyranny, both to individuals and society. The other two films that, in my opinion, continue the story of the consequences of repression are "La historia oficial" (The Official Story, 1985) and "Vidas privadas"(Private Lives, 2001).Movie Review: This movie is amazing!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is absolutely amazing! I remember seeing it many years ago, when I was a little girl, and I remember my parents watching it on TV, and there were certain scenes that I never forgot. I finally managed to find the movie and I couldn't wait to buy it. It's an interesting forbidden love story, and it's interesting to see the barriers, the social classes, and how religious fanatics, and the laws can dictate people's lives. Watch it.Movie Review: Specatcular
Summary: 5 Stars
this movie was sooo good! i mean even tho my teacher fast forwarded through all the good parts....it was still a truly romantic and amazing work that showed perfectly the internal and external conflicts. With ladislao fighting with his feelings while Camila and ladislao fight to be together in a society that opposes their love. Amazing movie and i reccomend it for everyone.
