Featured review
Pefection, but needs a Luis Villian ark.
I recently decided to indulge in the film Canela, after seeing Mr. Charles Gainey's review on the movie I knew I had to try it out. I watched this film with my adopted brother and he loved the movie and could relate to the movie. He related so much to the character Maria who also lost her mother in a earthquake caused by a drone. He recomended this film to all strugling or fans. Next, lets yap about the the beautiful sound track in the movie that put a tear in my eye the first time I heard it. The sound track is perfectly played and is not over used of gets repetitive and it is used at a very respectful volume. The sound track is hand crafted by the great composer Bartholmew Eiobard III to perfectly protray music for all the scenes and emotions in the film. My favorite scene in the movie is the Neto incident of 06. Neto goes into the bano and starts farting, classic Neto (Insert laugh track here) My only hope and change for this film is a Luis villian ark. I was very dissapointed while watching this film that there was no Luis Villian ark, but I am very hopeful in Canela 2 there will be a Luis villian ark. I heard rumors that in the long awaited sequel Canela dos that there will be Gordon Ramsey in the movie. If my wishes do come true and Gordon joins the prestigous film canela then I would hope him and Luis would join together to beat a muertos dona Tere y Maria, begining Luis' villian ark. My main takeaway from watching this film is to stick with old ways of doing things and to never change for the better because that is what Dona Tere did in Canela. When I raise my ninos I finna let them watch this movie to show them that new ways of doing stuff are useless, and not to be innovative because old ways of doing stuff like cooking mole is always better. My favorite part of the movie is the scene of Dona Tere muertosing and passing down the resturante to Maria. I love how they dont tell the audience that Dona Tere es muertos but they infer it by her being in the hospital, but once she gets out she does not interact with any of the characters confirming her death. The acting in this movie is stellar and all the actors including Maria have a lot of potential in their acting carers. The food in the film is extrodinarly exquisite and scrumtious. The film location in Mexico is very pulchritudinous and perfect for this effulgent film. The script for this movie is perfect there is never a dull moment and the pacing of the movie is spiffy.
