Movie Reviews of The Girl of Your Dreams
Movie Review: Funny, clever, even possible!
Summary: 5 Stars
This film was a great surprise for me. I had no idea it existed until I saw it at the local store ("already-viewed" and at a reduced price) and had to buy it. A Spanish theater troupe is invited to Nazi Germany to film a musical in both Spanish and German. You can just imagine what ensues when their expectations are met with the reality of Nazi Germany!
This film is quite funny, with many ridiculous situations. In addition, if you are a Penelope Cruz fan, you should watch her singing scenes! Nazi Germans are trashed by the Spanish theater troupe. The film director (who also directed the wonderful film "Belle Epoque") cleverly mixes everything up until there is no way back but ... I am not telling you more.
Movie Review: Another Great Film from Spain.
Summary: 4 Stars
I have to say the movie is one of the best films from spain I have seen. The scences are shot beautifully, and the dialouge to. Penelope Cruz is outstanding as always, and dosen't fail to surprise you in this film either.
The film takes place in Germany, during World War 2. One of Spain's most respected directors,Blas, is invited to Germany where he will shoot the Spainsh version of "The Girl of your Dreams" (also known as) "La Nina de tus Ojos." Macarena (Cruz) will play the female in both the German and Spanish version and the male role will be done by a German star and the the spanish will be played by a Spanish Star (Jorge Sanz). The film group is supported by the pervert Minister in Germany, whom is extermly infatuated by Macarena. He constantly makes advances at Macarena, and tells her that she should stay in Germany to persue her carrer as an actress, but she who rather return to Madrid as soon as possible. Fearing that Macarena's rejection of the Minister could cause him to stop production the Spanish directer, Blas, encourages Macarena to keep accepting his invitations, gifts, and reciprocate his flirting. This upsets Macarena for she and the director are lovers, and fells that if they were married the Minister would respect her instead of harassing her, but marrage is an unlikly possibility for he is already married with childeren. As the film progresses Macarena is disgusted by the mistreatments of the Jews and Gypsy's, however is in no place to say or do something because of the possible punishments in her political views. She befriends and Russian Jew on the set and it is he who makes her see that the War is wrong and takes a stand in her belifes. The film further progresses and the Minister practically forces Macarena to move into a private and sucluted home, wherer the Minister plans to have his way. As the film is comming to an end Blas learnes that Macarena's father has passed away, and realizes that Macarena would be best off in Mardrid. In the end Macarena helps the Russian Jew to escape, only to find herself in a predicament with the Minister. The Group and Blas is forced to choose between finishing the almost completed film or doing what is right and leaving Germany.
