it be unfortunate that american audience appear to want three thing in a film represent action and action and more action . original sin be a tale of emotion . with beautiful cinematography and wonderful costumery and the plot be rival only by hitchock vertigo . set in cuba in the late 19th century and the story revolve around a man and name luis vargas and play by antonio bandaras and and the mail order bride and with whom he fall in love . vargas and who at the start of the film be marry for convenience alone and because of his business and find himself emotionally capsize by the sumptuous julia russell and play to the hilt by the fulsome lipped angelina jolie . but when vargas new bride suddenly disappear and the businessman discover that his life be now totally base in her . let u go back to vertigo and the obvious source of this film . in it and scotty ferguson and play by james stewart and be obsess with madeleine elster and play by kim novak . when scotty witness madeleine plummet to her death and his world take a dismal tern and until he meet judy barton and her physical twin . the thing be that madeleine and judy be one and the same . here be hitchcock irony of the illusion of madeleine fall to her death actually give rise to the demise of scotty soul . in original sin and angelina jolie play eve to thomas jane serpent . antonio bandaras be poor adam and with only one woman in all of the world for him . there be even lillith and all too quickly dispatch . but forbidden fruit and once swallow and the loss of paradise be soon to appear . from my point of view and this be a must see film with intelligence and symbolism and beauty .
