The Holy Girl

The movie, The Holy Girl, or as it is called in Spanish, "La Nina Santa," (I know there is no accent over the second "n" in Nina because I have no clue how to do it) was very boring. I know that this is not about our opinion, but it was just boring to me. Anyways, on to the prompt of this movie blog. I believe that the reason why this movie was important was because of the theme of sexuality and the coinciding of their spiritual life. That is what I believe is the biggest motive of importance of the movie. I think it is important because we all have sexual impulse, let's be honest here. Most of us actually believe in something as well, which is the spirituality part. It is kind of the saying of "You can't have your cake and eat it too." It also shows how people can use sex as a sort of weapon or use it as sort of a justifying force, depending on whose hands it is in. I just read that and it could be misconstrued as a pun, so pun definitely NOT intended. In this case, the main character of the movie, Amalia, was being hit on by one of the doctors at her mom's (who is pretty good looking) hotel. She thinks that she needs to save the doctor from the inappropriate behavior he portrayed towards her. She kind of got over it and fell in love with him and desires to be married to him. Oh yeah, and she also starts stalking him. This movie felt sort of like some significant book or play made in the 1800's or something. I can't pinpoint it, but it sort of feels like that, much like the 1983 movie Scarface wort of reminded me of Macbeth (actually it was the other way around because I saw Scarface first.) The reason why I believe the movie was selected is beyond me. If I had to guess, it was because it was a very significant movie that has a very significant message about sexuality. That is just a guess, though because I really don't know.
