Hope

Rating: 10/10 (24 April 2015)

I saw the marvelous film "Little Boy" yesterday night with my friends. Moved me to the point to write my first movie review ever. English is not my first language, and often I refrain from writing fearing my lack of English skills. I live in San Diego California and must speak English with a heavy accent daily, and most people tolerate it, hence I venture to write with an "accent" now. The message of hope I felt last night with Little Boy is something I have been missing attending movies for a long time. From the costume design and the Norman Rockwellesque general mood, to the acting and dialogs my attention was kept throughout the movie with a very comfortable and pleasant feeling. I grew up catholic and still practice and felt very familiar with the message of "grow your faith" I sense in the movie. I wear a cross around my neck, a family heirloom, and for some reason, I was wearing a lapel pin on my jacket last night I got in Vatican City when I meet Saint John Paul II. You see, I am usually a bit "strange" for my coworkers, specially because of the milieu of my professional life. I am a fashion designer and often the "Little Boy" amount my colleagues. I am telling everybody I know that this movie is a "must see" my hope is that they will be moved to conquer their fears and move mountains through love, acceptance, tolerance and persistence. The way I see the world now, we need more of this kind of messages to permeate our surroundings and make us militants of hope. BRAVO.
