 Posted: Sun Oct 28, 2007 3:52 pm Post subject: Bella is a Beautifully Crafted Film |
 |
|
Bella is able to maintain a comfortable tension till the end where we are treated to a purging of pity and fear and its spiritual awakening. The use of catharsis in filmmaking was at one time common, yet with the lowering standards of art in the 20th century, by such notable grifters as Picasso, Warhol and Kinkaide, the art world got lazy and rarely employed this great yet difficult to master tool. Few movies achieve the level of artistry and Bella does qualify. It is a beautifully and laboriously crafted film. From the use of food as an allegory to life, health and family to the dark forbidding bathroom scenes illustrating modern single woman’s loneliness and depths of despair when faced with a particular difficulty. The film tackles with truth, honor and courage a subject rarely discussed and with a resolve lacking in most movies today. Guys and dolls take a significant other and refresh. Mothers and fathers take the boys and girls and hopefully they will further plate their virtue set. Bella is a rare and refreshing viewing delight.

Haven't seen it yet, but I intend to.
I was intrigued by this review at
Newsbusters a couple days ago.
We rarely go to movies anymore but the comments following the article and your
recommendation provides incentive.

The main actor wanted out of the entertainment industry in 2003 to become a priest, yet eventually decided he would stay in the movie business to make films which show a good message. Click here for more.
Shawa, many of the critics refer to this man's acting as Jesus like, yet he really comes across as stoic, a very nice attribute in my opinion. Noone ever said John Wayne was Jesus like. The remarks of leftists are so filled with hate of Christianity, they cannot contain themselves.
Besides is it bad to be Jesus like?
I think you will really enjoy the film if you are able to make a showing.
