Amor real

During my teeneage years I was a fan of telenovelas, and I watched many of them. I can say that this telenovela is by far the best in acting, production, music and storyline. No ridiculous acting and comic expressions that can be seen in most of the telenovelas. Adela, Helena, Maurizio, Colunga had their roles of life. Every character is played to perfection. All actors transmitted so many emotions making every other novela a joke comparing to this.

Some said that Matilde (Adela Noriega) cried too much and that is true. It was annoying from time to time.. But she portraied Matilde in such genuine way, very believable.. Not to mention the chemistry between her and Colunga.. So natural and rarely seen in telenovelas...

After having been a fan of telenovelas for almost 11 years, I can honestly say that "Amor Real" is one of the best I have seen. The story, wardrobe, actors, scenery, and characters are simply superb. I must confess, I found it a little slow and so-so during the first weeks, but as each week passed, I began to like this show more and more, until I fell in love with it completely. There are no actors miscast in their roles, and they all portray their character with such skill, that even the villains are believable instead of cartoonish as in most novelas. The one actor that mesmerized me here was Rafael Rojas with his Amadeo Corona, the kind revolutionary leader who helps and protects Manuel. Here you have a character that comes into the story near the middle, and isn't a part of the main love triangle and their obstacles... yet, he manages to make this character just as remarkable and memorable as those who have been in the story since the beginning.

it was great, but I am disappointed they do not release the extended version, I would have rated that 100 out of 10.....still waiting for the extended version to be released, and I believe I am not the only one :)

I am a lover of good stories and this "old school" love story should be a classic. Great actors, great acting, exceptional sets and wardrobe, what a shame to condense this movie to just 4 hours, it should be re released as a long version. May be "they" think it might not work, I will give you some examples, Lord of the rings, harry potter, twilight saga and if you want longer titles, star trek (lost count how many dvds are released), believe me, movies like these do not come around every day.

what I loved about this movie, is that it was made well, the acting, sets, storyline, location and so much more and the movie keeps you interested and addicted to watch more and it didn't have endless scenes of special effect, most of the time computer generated to do this. I enjoyed this movie and I will watch it again, this movie is not a see once and shelf it. I can still hope for the extended version....

I have watched this so many times and I enjoy it always as the 1st time I watched it.

Having recently read Isabel Allende's books about rich powerful families in Latin America, the story attracted me. From the very beginning it kept me captivated. I have even contemplated calling in sick on days I have to work when it's on. Everything seems historically accurate and I am amazed by the amount of detail that was put into this production. It requires a certain level of intelligence to understand some of it. Being that at times they have dialogue in English and French. My family was wondering why French was used so much. The Spanish used in it, it's very nice and slow. It makes it easy to follow, especially for those of us Hispanics born and raise in the US. I'm always having to ask my parents the meaning to different words, this time the roles have been reversed. This novela indeed has a lot of class.
