This is one of those movies Vicky Cristina Barcelona, that I go and
watch without any review reading or asking around how is the movie? To
my surprise I see Woody Allen as the director, I was like this would be
an interesting and complicated storyline.
Th only thing that I love in the movie are the characters. First
character Juan Antonio(played by Javier Bardem). Ina nutshell, very
commendable about his character is that he manages to bed three women,
spent time with them, get attacked by one of them, without any guilt or
malice. He uses the language as an amazing form of lost in translation
excuse to be with all of them. for all the Guys out there, Juan’s
character is ultimate balance between women-sex-life-creativity.
The other characters are also good in this movie, specially the one
played by Pen%C3%A9lope_Cruz Maria Elena, she is hyperventilating and
just about either kill someone or herself for an obscure reason that
will build in her mind. There is this scene where she actually goes
through Cristina’s baggage just to know, if she had any intentions of
killing her. This is of course my favorite sequence from the movie.
Cristina(played by Scarlett Johansson) is an eccentric and ready to
for an adventure even in an relationship. Then there is Vicky played by
Rebecca Hall, who thinks she knows what she wants. But then at
Barcelona where she come to spend her summer vacation with Vicky,
things go in a way, that not what they seem like.
This movie, still has its own scenic beauty of Barcelona, it has its
own ups and downs in the movie, and gets you thinking as to why would
someone want to get oneself so involved that is unable to focus on
other things. I love the end to the movie, of course you need to watch
the movie to understand the complexities that one goes through being in
multiple relationships and still manages to survive.
