Arrancame la vida

Arrancame la vida. “Take my life” is a movie based on the novel by the Mexican reporter Angeles Mastrett. Is a story of love, politics and treason in Mexico back in the 30’s. I haven’t read the book, so I can not compare it to the movie, but I must say that the story is deep.
It is the Mexican movie with the highest budget in the story of Mexican movies. Ana Claudia is one of the best Mexican actresses and she shows her acting skills in that movie. The photography is amazing and so is the acting and the music. I fell in love with the song “Arrancame la Vida” You can close your eyes and take you back into time when movies where black and white…
The story happens in Mexico, when a 15 year old girl marries a Tenant from the Mexican Army, who is trying to become Governor of the city of Puebla. He is, of course, 30 years older than her and she is just to naïve that fells for maturity…But there’ll be a point where she’ll be mature enough to realize that He is not what she wants…
It is a story of how love can be deceiving and a story about how it can easily ends when it is not fed and the charms ends. It shows how people can be submissive just to keep their life and their beloved ones. It shows how marriage used to be in Mexico not so long ago…How women have to subordinate to what their husband said and commanded. It is a really complex story. I guess is taken more profound in the book.

I can’ t imagine living a life “ faking” to be happy all the time and not be with the one you really love. And What is love according to that movie? Is when a kiss can take your life away and steal your heart…. And when you are not with that person, meaning to be fully with that person, You can’t be completely happy….you can fake, but you faking doesn’t give happiness …
It shows there’s always light at the end of the tunnel, But you are responsible for how long the tunnel is and how long it will take You to see the light…you can run to get there faster or walk slowly and then stop in the middle of darkness forever…It is up to you…
Just go and see the movie! You’ll love it!
