Wow, I am surprised that nobody has replied to you or even made any other threads on this board!
I just saw this movie in the cinema here in the Netherlands and thought it was an absolutely beautiful and sweet story. I really loved how you get to know these 2 people in a time in their lives when they are quite depressed, but then in the end they find each other. I was genuinely happy for them to be together at the end of the movie. I rate it 9/10 :)
I love your other movies in your top 5, except for Up because I have not seen it yet. What about Amélie? I expect it to also be high on your list.
Yeah, I loved the whole scenario too. The movie is very well made, and Pilar López de Ayala's performance is superb especially, considering she had to put on an argentinian accent (Rioplatense Spanish) to portray the character being hers, spaniard, as she's from Spain.
That being said, I'm going to quote one user's review which I happened to find it to be quite suitable to what my feelings were when I watched the movie, except for the part I didn't need Spanish subtitles, as it is my native language.
A Spanish 500 Days of Summer mixed with a more urban and up to date You've Got Mail. I liked this film a lot. I watched on a whim, this being the first movie I've actually watched fully subtitled and I've got to say, personally it made the experience of the movie that much more enjoyable.(I think it added a feeling of being connected, seeing that there are people out there from a different culture feeling and hurting and living just like me) Now even though dialogue is primarily in Spanish, English songs are used and this also brought an even more familiar tone to the movie as a whole. I connected with both the main characters in the film. Their feelings of loneliness on the inside, yet, still going on with their day to day all while being mixed with their phobias, longings, quarks, and vulnerabilities. This movie works, it works on every cylinder. Beautifully shot and beautifully written.. Watching this will not be a waste of your time.
Indeed its a beautiful movie but the last scene leaves me confused as how they guys can recognize each other? Someone?
shareThe night before when their power was out they met each other at the kiosk buying candles. After coming home, I think she comes to the realization that the guy she just met was the same person she had been chatting with online. The next day she recognizes him through the window and rushes down to meet him. This film was great and really reminded of how much I miss living in Buenos Aires.
shareNope, through the window she first recognized "wally in the city" (the only part of the book she couldn't find wally) therefore she run, because she knows that was a sort of sign: never found Wally in the book, but finally found him in the real life. Then when she's face to face with martin, automatically notices that he is the same guy she met at the kiosk last night
shareI was very confused till I saw your reply. T.G :)
Yeah, he was dressed like Wally. He's her Wally
