Broken Gaiete

I enjoyed this film and the intriguing storyline about a main character who doesn't have a clue about who he is and where he fits into anything. One online review site said he was a hero on an epic quest, well they must watched a totally different movie. The main storyline with branching subplots was about a man trying to take part in a new and different culture which is complicated by romantic involvement, rivalry with another Alpha Male and the constant meddling of his mother in his life!

The filming was so dark that it was easy to confuse characters. Even the males could be mixed up despite very different facial hair and hair cuts, but the woman most shown in dark tents were a nightmare to keep straight! They were more shadows than people!

As our clueless friend gathers his wits and begins to ignore his meddling mother, he gets himself deeper and deeper in trouble, By the end one will find a surprise in just who are the good guys and who ultimately is the bad guy throughout the story.

This is no deep classic, but the kind of film that has men in blue blazer with ascots twirling their moustaches and crying out "Tres Magnifique" at every turn of events.

I gave this movie a chance. Watching it, it got better and better. I LOVE everything about it! I love the mysterious storyline, characters, and different culture .This movie even has good quality, some romance, and action that keeps building up until the very end. It is very unique. The ending was the most CRAZIEST surprising and shocking thing I have ever seen in a movie! I was like WHAT IN THE WORLD JUST HAPPENED!!!! I NEED TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!!!! Making me want more and more! I never expected this movie to be so good!

This director Hafid did such a great job for his first feature film! I even subscribed to his Youtube pages and Facebook pages. I even have been watching movies with the same actors in them like Mark V, Irene Taylor, Elizabeth Gonzalez, and Hector. Another good most recent movie with them together is "River". I even followed Mark's facebook page! I'm like why the heck am I obsessed with this movie along with the director and actors?! I just CANNOT WAIT for Broken Gaiete 2 or "Village" what they call this movie in the US which is totally unnecessary, since Broken Gaiete is the better official title.

Anyways I am WAITING WAITING WAITING for the second one! This movie is truly phenomenal. I love it and more people need to discover and give it the credit it deserves!

Summary: Breathtaking. LOVED IT.
