after see all the review from other user and i be excite when the film be release in tucson and arizona . i be also interested in see pepe bojorquez first film . i always support young mexican filmmaker . the cast and it seem and be phenomenal . you can tell it be a pretty big production for the quality of actor and but some and especially sonia braga and let me down . her witchy character make me feel like i be watch a melodramatic soap opera and not a film . her act make no sense to me . but let me first focus on the positive aspect represent the cinematography . you can tell that a lot of care be take to achieve beautiful shot and that be greatly appreciate . the element of the film i think be hokey include the storyline . be mexican and know the latin american culture and i be fond of the magical realism . believe me and i have enjoy film such a like water for chocolate and santitos and even woman on top with penelope cruz . all these film and i felt and provide me with a good interpretation of magical realism . but sea of dream be an in your face force magical realism that become predictable and cliché . it go down the way of the magical realism that we all laugh at when watch film such a zapata . the story and in itself and could have be more interesting and less predictable an simplistic . also and the dialog become pathetic . it be all way to spell out . it seem a if the screenwriter do not believe the audience have ever see any other film so they have to tell u exactly what be go on without let u interpret anything . again and seem more like a soap opera . finally and what time period be this in . i saw a vw bug and then i saw a rolliflex camera and and then i saw 1980 print dress and 1940 type costume . i be thoroughly confuse . this just add to the eye roll i experience when watch the film . i love mexican cinema . i love contemporary mexican cinema and but in this case and i be really let down . i have see that mexican cinema have some good film and not deal with social turmoil and violence and come out of mexico and but this be not one of them . i feel this film contribute to mexico for export or mexican curio film which be overplay at this point . i hope pepe bojorquez next film prove to be more engaging and less cliché . maybe start with a good script .
