This movie was definately different than the ones we have watched. I thought some if it was funny and some really silly. When you look at movies from that long ago it is amazing how cinema has changed throughout the years.
The interactions of the women to the men. It was funny to see how dependent they were on these men, well Ivan. He was a good looking older man and he appeared to have money. Pepa had a great a life and she did'nt even know it till the end. Pepa did not need him to define her. It was really interesting to see his taste in women. Very strong women and he was cowardly at times. Pepa was kinda of flirtacious to Carlos and maternal at the same time. Marissa seemd to control Carlos to a point and was domineering at times. As Paulina Morales was also that way towards Ivan. Very strange movie.
I believe that the feelings were very over reacted in the film but I think it was because it was supposed to be a comedy. Then you see women like that today that are psychotic when they can't get the man. Some women are obsessive and freak out throw things, burn things and overdose.
Alot of the women today are alot stronger than they were back in the 70's here in the states. Back then I really don't know to much about it, I was a kid but it seems like women tolertaed alot more because they thought that was the thing to do. Now a days women can stand on there own two feet and not have to depend on a man.I don't believe much would be different if the film was in the United States. Women are Women whether they live here or in another country. In some countries women are taught to obey men and be behind the scenes. Not here in the USA.
I was wonderful to see Pepa grow up and become the women that she was. I believe it is wonderful to be a woman and be a strong woman. Candella was a young adult and did'nt really think much about growing up at that time. Lucia just wanted revenge on Pepa and Ivan. Lucia was really crazy.
I think there is a difference between the women and where they live. I think that alot of women that live here and are from another country start taking on American traits and start doing things the way we do. I beleive that it would be that way if we moved to a different country and learn the way they do things.

I agree with you about how women can stand on the own now, but there are women out there that just have to have that one specific guy or they just lose it. I have seen some crazy women do some crazy things to get back at men! Unfortunately, there are women in all cultures that tolerate more than they should because they have been "programmed" to feel they cannot make it on their own. There are more opportunities available now, but I'm not sure about other countries.
ReplyDeleteI also think you are right about the people from other cultures becoming more "Americanized". I think it is sad for them to fall into the trap of thinking it is better to be like someone else. I like the differences in people. I hope they keep some of their traditions or else we will all be alike. Good blog!
