Must have for a Banderas collection
This is a story about love, as Bonny Castle would say. It's a story about a man and a woman from two different worlds, who come together in marriage, and find out what it really means to be one.Some would say this is a movie about a con artist who screwed her husband over. A con artist who was unworthy of the man she married. They might say she made her husband look like a fool. But truly, it is the con artist who is the fool, who managed to con herself into believing she could be nothing but the lowest of the low, even when the best was given to her.In both characters we see what could be seen as unconventional, cynical standards. Luis expected a homely, simple wife, not even expecting love. Bonny expected money, not expecting a husband that would accept her for all her flaws and help her fight her demons. The moral of this story could perhaps be that if a couple is willing, they can overcome obstacles in their lives and grow by marriage. But of course, there are always con artists in the real world who are just evil and cannot be helped.I would go as far as to say that Billy is the movie's evil. Billy offers everyone help, at a price. He does not advise on what is best for everyone, but what is essentially best for him. He uses Luis in every way but makes himself out to be a friendly ally. He does all he can to keep Bonny within her own limitations, which really just become the limitations set by Billy. The scratches almost like a marking on her very soul, as if to say her soul is his.Rounding up, I'll give this a 5 star review. I almost gave it 4 stars because the casing did not have any of those inserts that I like to read and look at. Bought this for around $9, which is excellent for a blue-ray price. I wanted this on Instant Video but Amazon does not appear to have it.

Absolute Powerhouse Movie
Perhaps one of the best movies that Antonio or Angelina have ever done, and a great period piece. Set in 1800's Cuba Antonio plays a rich Coffee grower in Cuba who has ordered a mail-order bride from America, enter Angelina. But all is not as it seems, as the story plot takes many twists and turns with wild sex scenes for spice. In the end this movie is not only a mystery film, but a very romantic film of two lovers who go against the odds to be together. I strongly recommend this movie.

True Love and Original Sin
I watched this movie then needed about an hour of silence to fully understand the love they shared in this movie. How far will you go for love? How far will you allow your love to go to stay safe and continue a lifestyle? What if you can't save you one true love and must watch her suffer? The bond these two shared was like none I've seen in any other romantic drama, I highly recommend this complex, sexual and heartbreaking movie.

nel sito non è specificato che era in lingua originale e il venditore una volta contattato via e-mail si è prorogato nella restituzione del denaro che è arrivato celermente. Venditore consigliato, ma consiglio di specificare bene le lingue dei film.

Das ist kein Liebesfilm,
aber es ist ein Film über die Liebe...Ein guter Film mit einer überraschenden Wendung nach der Romanvorlage "Waltz into Darkness"von Cornell Woolrich.Mit den überzeugenden Schauspielern Antonia Banderas und Angelina Jolie.Auf der Blu-Ray liegt endlich auch in Deutschland die ungeschnittene Version des Films vor,welche auf der DVD nur als RC1 verfügbar war.Ich bin kein Fachmann, aber das Bild ist im direkten Vergleich zur DVD gestochen scharf, trotz desAlters des Films (2001) und auch der Ton (5.1 DTS-HD) wirkt sehr gut.Mittlerweile für einige ein Kaufkriterium: Kinowelt hat die BD mit einem WENDECOVER ausgestattet(um Augenkrebs vorzubeugen). Klare Kaufempfehlung!
