Movie Reviews of La Otra
Movie Review: Great soap opera, poor editing
Summary: 3 Stars
First of all I want to say that this is my favorite soap opera of all time. The other two that I love are Angela and Apuesta por un amor. This was a very clever story, full of surprises and discovery. I agree this was Juan Soler's best leading role. Yadhira Carrillo was amazing. She gave a extraordinary personal touch to her two characters, and could at the same time show the humanity of Carlota even when she was taking Cordelia's place. Jacqueline Andere was one of the smartest villains I have ever seen in a telenovela.
The problem with the DVD is the editing. They focus mostly in the story of Alvaro and Carlota and cut off many of the secondary character stories. There was not much of the romance of Bernarda and Roman, the story of Cordelia's family was totally deleted, when Carlota became Cordelia they were many scenes in which you could have been caught, for example the dog scene (Cordelia did not like dogs), the scene when Carlota is drowning (Cordelia could swim). These were the funny scenes of the story and they are gone. Also, the DVD does not cover Regina's disease, and does not show when she dies. For people that never watched the show it will be confusing to hear some things when they did not have the proper background to understand. And finally, the DVD did not show Bernarda's ending which I think was a big mistake. The ending is disturbing, because after all that she did, she escapes and in the last scene she is shown in the beach flirting with young guys.
The soap opera is the best, the DVD did not do a good job. I still recommend it.
Summary of La Otra
Carlota is the illegitimate daughter of Bernarda and a millionaire named Leopoldo who left a fortune to Carlota and her half-sister Eugenia. Bernarda tries to keep her daughters from marrying so that she can continue to live off their inheritance. In spite of this Carlota marries Dr. Alvaro Ibanez while Eugenia is pregnant with the child of Leopoldo's deranged son Roman. Eugenia dies in childbirth but Bernarda convinces Alvaro that it was Carlota who died. Devastated he moves to the country to live with his father where he meets Cordelia identical in appearance to Carlota but not in personality. Social-climbing Cordelia takes advantage of Alvaro's grief and marries him for his wealth and position. Little does she know however that Carlota is not only very much alive but that she wants her husband back!Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: LATIN/TELENOVELA Rating: PG UPC: 000799474921 Manufacturer No: 22798Art House & International DVD Video
