Tropico de Sangre

  • At least its a decent try!

    A film with ups and downs, that's Tropico de Sangre! Being said that, come on, it's a try. And it really has substance and good things to be pointed out! Tropico de Sangre exposes in an authentic way the often repeated story of the Mirabal Sisters.

    To start off with the good, the movie's technical aspects are admirable. The image is great, the effects are great, and the production managed to successfully achieve the environment of the 50's with a hit in both dressing and scenery.

    The performance of several actors such as Sharlene Taule and Sergio Carlo (btw, is that his name?) performing Manolo were standouts, as well as the performance of experienced Cesar Evora. Michelle Rodriguez, despite the negative aspects, delivered the expected. Other minor actors like the one performing Minerva's father and the one performing Johnny Abbes resulted convincing as well.

    The way they tell the story is completely different to what we have seen, almost like much more poetical to me, and with right touches of fiction.

    Going to the cons, the story seemed to run slower than how it should have run. Sometimes you felt lost regarding some characters: who is he? why is he there?

    Juan Fernandez performance, is truly disappointing often falling in ridiculousness. His voice trying to imitate Trujillo sounded like a comic brought to the screen, and his inflexions were way too robotic. Minerva's mom is a complete joke as well! Very bad make up and very depressing performance! Actresses like Claudette Lali, Luchy Estevez, Celines Toribio... are just soap opera-ish! Too melodramatic and no real essence. Very superficial!

    Anyways, this move is dignifying Dominican depressing cinema!

  • A movie with ups and downs!

    When I decided to watch the movie version of "RENT", I was so excited to see how they were going to make this fit for movie theaters... I have to say I wasn't fully disappointed.

    It started out amazingly, with the original cast except for two characters, which is sad. However, I have to say they all performed well. The movie started with a comedy aura, and a very emotional background. The songs were really powerful and truly helped with keeping track and not loosing yourself.

    However, as the movie ran, I started loosing track, and the movie got lost somewhere in the middle. It was pretty depressing.

    The final stage came and gave life again to the movie, making it really emotional and vivacious. It was really nice and touching.
