Jithin K Mohan I hated it almost for the first hour for its blatant disregard about how life progress from the privileged view. But the film embraces that view by portraying the madness of these relationships of these people in chaotic layers. As much the film doesn't know about reality the earnest portrayal of this certain class of people is something that usually ends up as caricatures. Here Allen uses the same characters that are used mostly as caricatures and gave them real life and emotions that is not at all justifiable characters but still humane that it creates a certain amount of empathy for them.

Zac Keir This movie is a masterpiece especially if you are into Art. After watching the film you will notice how much we are wasting our precious time and money on watching those Superheroes movies which give us an hour of pleasure and nothing else, The writer shows us the real angle of the life and love plus it forces us to think about how much we will be happy if we try not to label relationships and forget about what is right and wrong in Love and love each other with pure Heart then imagine how much our life will be peaceful and beautiful. Woody Allen tried to explain the things we barely imagine about it and these things are LOVE LOVE LOVE without rules. Now as a filmmaking student, To me everybody did his/her job with 100% passion. from writing to Music, Directing, and Acting everything is perfect. in my head, I was thinking about Javier Bardem as a villain but in this romantic movie he nails it and proved that he can fit in every act. while watching the movie I was thinking to give this movie 10 stars but the only thing which held me was the ending, maybe from my perspective but Anyway I give it 9 stars and everyone should appreciate this kind of work.

oOoBarracuda I finally found a Woody Allen film that didn't take place in New York that I enjoy. Vicky Cristina Barcelona isn't the first non-New York set Woody Allen film that I've liked, but it's one of only two. I've discussed this at length elsewhere so all I'll say here is Woody Allen just doesn't seem as comfortable behind the camera if he's working out of the country. Match Point is an obvious exception, as there is little to complain about regarding that outing. Anyway, the 2008 film written and directed by Woody Allen followed two best friends spending the summer in Barcelona. Starring Scarlett Johansson and Rebecca Hall as the pair of best friends, Vicky Cristina Barcelona explores unconventional relationships and the extent one can be fulfilled by sharing love.Two best friends that seem to be polar opposites plan a summer in Spain together before one of them is to wed. Vicky (Rebecca Hall) has always searched for a grounded love and a partner she can depend on as she is conventional in all aspects of life. Cristina (Scarlett Johansson) has searched for a love that will set her soul on fire, one that is exciting and unpredictable. Their expectations have led them down different paths, Vicky will soon marry when she returns home, Cristina, who is single again after being hurt in her previous relationship. After a chance meeting with a Spanish painter, Juan Antonio (Javier Bardem) he invites the girls to travel with him on his private plane to a remote island. Ever the risk-taker, Cristina jumps at the chance for unprecedented excitement and intrigue. Vicky is much more hesitant, even attempting to talk Cristina out of going. They both eventually board the plane with Juan and make it to the island. Cristina becomes ill and it is Vicky that has a romantic evening with Juan. Feeling guilty and conflicted, Vicky leaves the island leaving Cristina and Juan to fall in love. Cristina believes she may have found the excitement in love she's been looking for, that is until Juan's ex- wife re-enters their lives.Social constructs and conventional love are explored in Woody Allen's Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Woody explores what it means to love someone that also loves someone else. Living together in an open relationship and the dynamic of three people that love each other so much that they can't survive without each other but struggle to survive the terms of their relationship provides an interesting character and another fine example of the exploration of the psyche that Woody Allen is so proficient at. The score and cinematography are gorgeous and I'm so happy that the excellent Woody Allen script made a triumphant return. I recently read an interview with Woody Allen in which he lists guilt as a motivating factor to accomplish the things he doesn't want to do, which I found interesting considering the guilt Vicky felt after cheating on her husband filled such a huge part of her character arc. It's always interesting to learn more about a filmmaker and then be able to see more of them in their work than before. Vicky Cristina Barcelona is certainly not the first film of Woody's where guilt has played a large part but it's interesting noticing it after learning that guilt plays a huge factor in his own life."Life is short, dull, and full of pain."--Maybe Woody is right, but his films certainly help me cope with that.

osmangokturk Another movie about the boring Americans coming to Europe and having freak summer adventures. The choice of Spain rather than France is good because that kind of boring life would not be workable in France. So what Woody Allen is trying to experiment? I would say it is about a man centered love relations with several women. He tries to explore the feelings of women in these relations. A kind of perfect monogamy of man. Perverted relations for artistic creativity? well it is a kind of cliché nowadays, one never knows. Forcing each other to speak English for the sake of Americans is one of the elements that Woody Alan is exploring. It is not a killing demand for the sake of your rival, the director tries to explore the divergence and difficulty in the relations.One of the visible message of the film is the fact that they tell the right feelings and the truths right away. Actually this is a growing sentiment of Hollywood nowadays. Without lying or cheating the partner people rather prefer telling their right feeling, which is good ad educating some humans at least.
