Sea of Dreams

A couple months ago I got to see this movie and loved it. I convinced my husband to travel to Veracruz last week (a 5 hour drive) for a long weekend to find the beautiful places this movie reveals.

We stayed at Tlacotalpan and drove to Roca Partida (there are no hotels in Roca Partida). This place is SO secluded, We had to ask directions every 15 minutes. Once you arrive, the place is overwhelming. Every person we met in Tlacotalpan or Roca Partida speaks about the production with pride. And in Tlacotalpan we did get to meet a few of the town people that actually appears in the movie which was an awesome experience.

The only thing I missed is not seeing the sculpture of the Angel seen in the movie.

My main taught is that you can't tell if the beautiful places and people we met inspired the director/writer or if in case he hadn't been there before, the places and people have in a way incorporated the story in the movie into their own customs and remembrances.

You have to see the movie, then visit the locations it's worth it.

I don't understand why people (just some people) are saying that this is not a good movie. Maybe is because they are very angry at life or maybe because they are full on envy. Let me tell you, that this is one of the best movie I ever seen, the story is very good, the music is great and I loved the actors, especially Sonia Braga... everybody is so beautiful Sendi Bar, Johnathon Schaech, Julio Bekhor, Daniela Schmidt, Jessica Valdes... Wow! The other day I was reading a bad review that said that the movie was too beautiful. What??? Since when beautiful is bad??? Well... the only thing I got to say is that I love beautiful things and I guess that this is the main reason I Loved the movie

!Que bonito es lo bonito!

I went to see the movie last night compelled by the advertising on Mexican TV. Magic Realism allows the makers of the movie to enter the deepest parts of your person to magnify different feelings. My parents passed away when I was a child and I have mixed emotions linked to my memories at the sea. In this movie the sea is a character that as much as it gives it can also take, in some way it sparked memories of my parents, specially one scene where the starfish appear on the beach. After the movie ended an undescriptible feeling of inner peace embraced me.

The cinematography is magical, the music, casting and performances are very enjoyable.

I am very happy to have seen this movie and I can't wait to see this director/writer's next film.

I saw this movie for the first time at Turks and Caicos Film festival and it was amazing. It was really inspiring, the acting was phenomenal and the landscapes and seascapes were as pristine as they get. I encouraged everyone to go and see this movie; everyone in that movie is beautiful!!! The story line is very interesting and creative. The movie, Sea of Dreams really portrayed the true love in a story, where the prince risks life and death to be with the beautiful princess. The main actress Sendi Bar gives a very touching and emotional role rare to media in this day and age. It was amazing, two thumbs up for actors, directors and crew!!! GO AND SEE IT!!!

As a Brazilian I had the moral duty of seeing this movie because Sonia Braga was in it.

I have seen all of her movies and TV Soap Operas, even her performance in Sex and the City, yet she delivers her best performance in Sea of Dreams. Even tough she portrays a very strong character she is still as seductive as ever if not more so.

I wonder if the Director/writer has lived in Brazil, as some scenes relate to deep Brazilian traditions that I had never seen portrayed in Cinema. The producers showed them elegantly reinforced with a sublime score.

I want to see it again in Brazil with my friends so we may comment on every detail.

I am sure it will be a huge success in Brazil.

I hope the producers read this comment: I tried to buy the soundtrack but none in Mexican main record store know anything about it.

Congratulations on your casting Sonia and a beautiful picture.
