Blog # 9: My Companions Part 2
For number 7, I like the account of Andrew. Caught my attention because her father was very romantic. He sent roses to the table with the mother of Andrew and her friend. His father was very persistent, as my father when he met my mother.
I also like the account of the parents of Daniela. I think it's very interesting that Daniel's father spoke no English when he met the mother. They met here in San Francisco! Great! Although they are together again, it's very good that they are still friends.
Finally, I like Ana's parents met. It's romantic that they were the only people to Halloween without the costumes. Also, this day holiday is one of my favorites of the year. My parents met at a party too.
And For number 8, I like Ashley's blog. She captured the meaning of the title of the film, Bitter Sugar, fine. I agree with her that "Azucar Amarga" represents a lot of conflicts in the film.
I also Callus well Carla's blog because she described all the main characters very accurately. Like her, I like the film Bitter Sugar, because it is very different from watching a movie in black and white These days.
Finally, Camila's blog caught my attention because their favorite character was Bobby, like me. We like us Bobby because he is not boring. He is very exciting and a very talented actor.

Blog # 8: Bitter Sugar
Bitter Sugar is the only Cuban film I've seen. I liked the movie a lot, especially for the storyline, and brilliant characters. The protagonist, Gustavo, he represents great character. Gustavo is very intelligent and has a good heart, but throughout the film, the need to cope with many problems of his country, Cuba, and conflicts with his family and girlfriend. In particular, Gustavo's father, Tom, is an alcoholic suffering identity crisis, Gustavo's mother is dead, Gustavo's brother, Bobby, is a drug addict and a rebel, and his girlfriend, Yolanda, is unfaithful. Additionally, during this time, Cuba was undergoing dissolution n of the Soviet Union and a lack of natural resources. Therefore, Cuba depended on tourism to sustain the economy. Because tourism, many Cubans sacrifice their ideals for money. For example, Tom, it feels like an exile in his own country, because he works as a pianist in a hotel for tourists.
But a character that does not sacrifice his ideals is Bobby. Sometimes he uses inefficient means of rebellion, but I like the fact that he would never obey the law Cuba because it is not fair. He is very different from other characters, their music preferences and personality to your clothes.
Like Bitter Sugar also because, in total, the film is very different from other films I've seen. If the end is very tragic, but it is too cool n, because typically you do not see it. And the cinematography, black and white is very interesting. Bitter Sugar
I would recommend anyone who likes serious movies, because it is a very nice account.
