Vicky Cristina Barcelona
Posted On January 16, 2009 At: 11:38 PM by Abdullah AlGhamdiFirst of all, Happy new year everyone. I'm sorry I stopped updating this blog. I have been stuck with some school issues. I'm happy to tell you though that I have just got my MA in Arabic - English translation.
Any way, I have sen so many movies in the past 3 to 4 months and I'm gonna write about them all some time. For now I am going to tell you about the Woody Allen Movie (Vicky Cristina Barcelona).
*Woody Allen wrote and directed this movie.
It is about the story of two American girlfriends (Vicky: Rebecca Hall & Christina: Scarlett Johansson) who has different views about love. They go to Barcelona, Spain for the summer where they meet an artist (Juan: Javier Bardem) who has just came out of a disaster relationship with his ex-wife (Maria Elena: Penélope Cruz). Both girls become infatuated by this man who is still involved with his tempestuous ex-wife.
Even though this is a check flick, it is still enjoyable. The dialogues are interesting and the plot is easy to follow. I give it a B. Hope you like it.
