La doble cara del amor

I've watched all the Love's...., Janette Oak based films and enjoyed them all. But..., It drives me crazy to see a supposed 35 year old widow - Missy - with long flowing locks running down her back. If she is like real women from that time, she should have tightly arranged hair - usually a single bun. Why can't American film makers get these things right? The British do it, so I find myself looking at the latter's shows much more often. Also, why do all the leads have to be beautiful or exceptionally handsome! Again, the British frequently have wonderful actors who have interesting looks, but could never be called beautiful or handsome.

In this series, my favorite was the first, Love Comes Softly, and here it seemed that the era was better captured without ridiculously coiffed or dressed actors. In this one, even the Belinda character seems out of the time. I did reluctantly rate this a seven, because I enjoyed the plot and thought the actors were fine, but I would have given it a 2 or 3 if it was being rated for historical accuracy.

The sixth installment in the Hallmark's 'Love Comes Softly' movie series. I can't believe I have crossed the halfway mark with this in the series, yet a long way to go. I really enjoyed so far with many ups and lows. I am happy with this part compared to the previous two where the series hit the rock bottom. This film was much better and had a very nice storyline. Yet a few more new characters were introduced as the storytelling expanded to the next timeline.

I am just recalling the whole series very briefly to remind you that it all began with Marty and then moved later to her step-daughter, Missie. From this, the third generation story begins with Missie's step-daughter, Belinda. So the theme is getting little modern while proceeding in the each film in the series. Modern means that contrasts with the period of time when the story sets in. The story remains still in the cowboy culture and explores the various subjects.

"The only thing you have to rely on this world is yourself."

One of the best movie in the series that perfectly represents the title. Most importantly for the first time the story focuses other than the family issue. Well, there's romance as well, which is short and cute. The actual narration is Belinda's interest in taking up her career very seriously. For a late 19th century woman, even in the New World that was a challenging thing. So how everything goes is the entire movie.

Well, 'Love Comes Softly' and deaths in its all the films are not co-incident, but a customary, that's how I felt so far. Some of the deaths were very emotional and connected deeply with the main characters, those had a strong hold in the storytelling. But some were simply unnecessary, like in this one perhaps. Maybe it was a lesson, a turning point, or medicines were not advanced to save people from the deaths or 'to make realise its value/worth' kind of stuff. So I accept it in this, because it was not that bad, but the way it happened was so silly.

Besides the 'deaths', the loverboy is the other thing who comes from nowhere and steals the woman of the movie. I mean in a good way, but I don't know, maybe that is the way it was happening in those times. Like I mentioned earlier, it's flourishing towards the 20th century. Maybe the next movie would take place in the city, but have to wait and see. Because that is an exciting thing to see a city for the first time. I had a very good time with this, and believe the forthcoming films would be even better. So see you later...

7/10

7.6 stars.

I think this is the last of the series, but who knows. This one, like the first two, gives me a warm feeling inside. The inspiration is found in this girl who wants to be a doctor. She was in the previous movie of this series when she was adopted by the protagonist. The movie focuses on her and her struggles becoming an independent woman and falling in love at the same time.

Every character in this film is very happy and uplifting, there really aren't any antagonist bad guys, which is strange, because almost always there is a bad guy. The only seemingly bad guy is the doctor at first, but after a while he's cool. The wealthy snooty elderly lady from New York seems to be the other bad guy, but nope, she turns out to be an inspiration as well. Good way to wrap up the series. They could have kept the "Love's" series going, but alas this looks to be the end of an era. I guess I'm about 16 years late on viewing it.

Missie LaHaye (Erin Cottrell) teaches Sadie Kent to read despite her husband's disapproval. Adopted daughter Belinda Tyler (Scout Taylor-Compton) wants to be a doctor despite the era. She's dismissed by Dr. Micah Jackson (Robert Pine) and Drew Simpson from New York city. Drew's studying to be an attorney and looking to sell his inherited property. Belinda treats traveler Virginia Stafford-Smith after she had a stroke. Virginia has the opposite opinion about God after suffering devastating losses. Drew is torn falling for the tough-minded Belinda. Virginia offers to have Belinda educated in Boston.

This one centers on Belinda. Scout Taylor-Compton is a capable young actress. Belinda's connection with Virginia is very compelling. This is a Christian movie and I wouldn't mind more discussion about that here. There is a little too many stories. I probably would skip the literacy story. It's not that original. Belinda has so much story that it needs more time to breathe. A lot of it feels rushed and abrupt. It's a fine TV movie despite being the sixth in the series.

This movie was awesome!! i am a college student and i enjoyed every minute of every one of these movies in this series! this movie is definitely something that everyone can enjoy!=) all the characters and the time period was just perfect! and really does show that no matter what happens in life God is always there with us and that he doesn't give us anything we can't handle. Also it shows that in life when you try to make it without God in your life, you are not truly happy. i loved it and i hope that many people watch these and enjoy the good morals and the great story lines that each of these movies have!! It is so nice to sit down and watch warning though after the first one you will be hooked! they are so addicting! and you will laugh and cry with the people in the movies!
