Well, Our Lady of Guadalupe continues to call me. I got the movie Guadalupe, out of the local library, expecting it to be a dramatization of the apparition of Our Lady to Juan Diego in 1531. It was that, but it was also much, much more. The story of the apparition was interspersed within a modern story of a sister and brother archeology team and how Our Lady of Guadalupe affects their lives and the lives of those around them.
It is also a loving portrayal of Mexico, its beauty and diversity. It makes me want to visit there, as well as to learn Spanish.
The movie is a story about life, love, family and culture.
It is well worth seeing.
Sounds like it was a beautiful movie.
ReplyDeleteIt was.
ReplyDeleteIt's a fantastic movie. They've aired it on a Spanish language channel a few times already. :D
ReplyDeleteI was pleasantly surprised--it exceeded my expectations.
