I love this movie so much
In truth, any opportunity to see the film on the big screen is welcome.
The acting in this movie is really good.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
I live in Medellin, Colombia and i believe this movie truly portraits the reality of many young women in our country, of course this is not in every city or in all Medellin, there is more to Colombia that you see in this movie, it's not all wars, etc. It's a great movie which in my opinion is a good representation of Jorge Franco's book, which is great by the way. It shows not only a reality of Colombian women but of people across the world, who live in their own hells. It's a movie that not only talks about wars, drugs, poverty, etc. but about feelings, about love and hatred and how the books says "amar es mas difícil que matar" it means to love is harder than killing. It is very entertaining and Flora Martinez does a great job, Rosario is what she shoes...beauty, strength, weaknesses. A very interesting character.
I was watching this movie the other day... A friend of mine gave it to me from a screening of this movie that took place in Colombia... and I gotta say.. its quite a packer!!!! It tells the story of a woman who kills for hire.... Rosario Tijeras. Rosario Tijeras is a story of the world of assassins, life in Colombia, love and lust. Rosario is an assassin... she is surrounded by lust, and when she meets a guy thats different from all that have been in her life, she falls in love with him... but she is too deep into the dirty underworld and it might just be too late for her... What I like about this movie its that sometimes its funny in anoverdramatized funny macabre kind of way. For example when Rosario's brother gets killed, they throw a party for/with him.... his corpse anyway...... go rolling with him, even take him to have a lap dance..... but thats the life he lead and so thats his friends way to pay respect to their fallen friend. Overall this is a good movie to watch if you like action/drama movies...... kinda reminds me of City of God... the way the story was told thru flashbacks... although in City of God the flashbacks were over many years and in Rosatio Tijeras, its meer months in between...... and also City Of God is way better than this one. Take nothing away from this one... the director did a good job in this movie, although it sometimes can be a little confusing, its one of the better Spanish movies that have come out in some time... a good Latin movie to indulge in!!! I give it an 8 out of 10
Rosario is the personification of the girl from the low barrios of Medellín-Colombia (ej. Comuna nor-oriental). Rosario is the kind of girl who knows how to survive the world where she was born, places of violence and drugs and basically no love, until she's given the same poison she use to give. Flora Martinez characterizes Rosario in a wonderful way. Some things that don't go well with this film are the coincidence in musical theme with Maria full of grace and some repeated scenes in car over the same bridge. However, I recommend you read Jorge Franco's original book where this movie was adapted from (www.jorge-franco.com). This is the best Colombian movie since Maria full of grace.
This movie was released first in Colombia because it's based in an excellent Colombian book, the movie shows us a Medellin (Colombia) of the 80's, and although you see some holes that are fulfilled if you ever read the book, you'll also love it because it's so well done, that you'll never yawn even once; the performance of the actors is awesome (except the one of Unax Ugalde he has to make a paisa accent and he really sucks on it), but above all the cast, the best is Flora Martinez, she plays a sexy deadly woman, who kills for money and kisses them before shooting them while plays with the heart of two men, who happen to be best friends, anyway is a very good movie and the rest of Latin America and US will be able to enjoy it next year, I hope you watch and enjoy it as much as I did.Ps: Paisa is like a southern accent around here, I don't know if you've ever heard an interview of Juanes, if you have that's a paisa accent!!!
