A Beautiful Secret

A beautiful Secret: it's a pretty nice movie, with a great Katy Jurado, the only Mexican actress who received an Oscar in Hollywood. The male protagonist of the movie is Jaime Aymerich (Latin - see also serial "Fat Actress"), really capable in playing the character of Jorge when adult. The message that the movie wants to communicate is: don't ever forget to be yourself. It's the story of the friendship between a young boy and an old teacher and of the fair things that she teaches the boy and which will determine his behaviour when adult. Among the producers of "Secreto" there's Aquiles Enriquez, also very capable in his part. I hope that many people could have enjoyed this movie. Its premier was March, 18th in Mexico; then it came to US and the rest of America.

A touching movie in which the character of Esperanza blends with Katy Jurado, producing such an effect in Jorge, played by Imanol, that changes his life. Both performances are remarkable, as well as the homage payed to a great actress. The photography is great, the music beautiful and the art work excellent. Though it could be shorter.

I saw this film in the Sarasota Film Festival. This film is great, the story itself its amazing. I know the boy that came out as Jorge (Imanol) he is a great actor. Everybody in the production made a great job. The movie at first it's going to make you laugh, but as the story evolves it's going to make you cry your eyes out. this is a most see movie. I know that its going to be premiered on the U.S. soon maybe even first than in mexico.

This is, frankly, one of the great movies of all times. It's worthy of being labeled a classic. It can live forever. It's never going to go out of style. And it's for everyone. That's the shortest report I can give you. Un Secreto de Esperanza is magical. The acting is exquisite. It's impeccable. The photography is pristine. It was a bit of a shock to see the physical beauty of Katy gone(God rest her soul now). She was always a real fine actress, as well as beautiful. Now she was a really old, wreak of a woman. But her ability to create a full-blown person was still as sharp as ever. And I know it was a magical movie about magical people because before long, somehow, she was beautiful all over again, even if she was old and out of shape. This story has layers, it has substance, it has intelligence, it has integrity, it's got so much spirit it radiates. I staggered out at the end gasping 'everyone has to see this'. I kept thinking: if enough people see this movie, we might even have world peace. You know, it just got to me, to my core. What a gift. Thank you to everyone who helped make this film. It was heaven.

A wonderful tour de force performance by Katy Jurado playing an elderly writer who has lived and played hard and known many of the prominent artists and writers of her era. This was Jurado's final performance and in many respects her best!
