How to Get Over a Breakup Netflix Film Review
Original Championship: Soltera Codiciada
I've stumbled across a few really interesting foreign TV shows and movies on Netflix (other than Japanese and Korean content, I mean). I really appreciate the diversity and expansion it's bringing to my mind. 'How to Become Over a Breakup' is one of the wonderful movies I'm talking nigh.
Here's what Netflix gave me in their brief summary:
Peruvian. Romantic. Comedy.
I thought, "Hmm, why not?" and clicked play.
The moment the movie began with a voice over narration, I knew I was going to bask this. There's something almost watching a narrated movement film…I can't quite draw it but I similar it. A lot.
And then here'due south a quick look into the plot
IMDb summarizes it as:
"A heartbroken ad copywriter living in Lima, Peru, is inspired to write a blog about life as a single woman and is surprised past her website'due south success."
Yep, certain, that's basically the story line. Only in that location are a few things I'd similar to add to it.
'How to Get Over a Breakdown' follows the story of a adult female who is unceremoniously dumped by her long-term young man and how she stumbles through the experience. And it comes with an entertaining narration from her giving the states an insight to exactly what's going on in her head.
I take no problem reading subtitles (for those of you who were about to ask) ;). In fact, I prefer that to switching the audio language (also known as turning on the voice overs). I tin can thank all the years of watching Japanese anime, then K-dramas for my well-adapted power to spotter and read subtitles at the same time.
Also, I really like language in full general. And then whenever I'one thousand watching something in a language I don't speak, I like to hear it being spoken, even though I can't understand what is beingness said.
**Warning! Spoilers ahead.**
Why I enjoyed 'How to Go Over a Breakup'
The relatibility
It was clear from the commencement that this was a modernistic story about a adult female just like me, even though she and I are worlds autonomously.
I liked how regular María Fé is. She's a young adult, who clearly still hasn't figured everything out. Tin can nosotros please put the belief, that becoming an adult means you lot automatically effigy out everything, to bed?
I as well liked that she was not a 'classic beauty' and withal I constitute her stunning! I hateful, look at that face! (She'southward the redhead)
The different perspective
When you grow upwardly watching a lot of American movies and TV shows, I find that you assume that all non-Africans live like that. That'due south why I'thou enjoying my electric current indulgence in foreign content.
Watching this story being told in Peru about a Peruvian reminded me that as similar as we are, nosotros live differently. It's refreshing to meet that non everyone handles breakups the American way. Or friendships. Or annihilation for that matter.
My Favourite Bits
Her Firm!
You guys… I wish there was a pic I could put hither of that beautiful house. Yes, she did complain virtually the cost of upkeep, but it was drool-worthy, Instagram-set up and begging to be Pinned!
Accept I mentioned I beloved old European architecture?
Her friends
María Fé has these two friends: Natalia and Santiago.
Natalia has been her bestie for years, something you can tell from the way they talk to each other. Equally two single women who are no longer in their 20s, information technology was hilarious seeing them trying to make an entrance every bit they walked into the club. It was actually more often than not hilarious because they were trying so hard!
The ending
What I'm about to write is a real spoiler. The kind y'all tin't look away from or unsee. (Sorry!)
I liked that in the finish, María Fé figures things out for herself. She doesn't run abroad from home, or continue a trip to forget. Oh, don't get me wrong. She definitely tries many things to forget.
In the end though, after all the fuss, all the tears and all the drama, she figures it out on her own. With the assistance of her loving friends, yes, but truly, on her own. No new man. I actually liked that.
'How to Get Over a Breakup' is a funny, calorie-free-hearted comedy. It finds ways to accost 'heavy' matters like love and relationships in a clear, palatable fashion while reminding us that love is everywhere. But well-nigh chiefly, it's inside us.
