SOME INTERESTING COMMENTS ON MOVIE
NIGHTS Letters from the Park, by Gabriel García
Márquez, was a fantastic movie. Really, it had
everything I look for in a movie. A movie plus
interaction with other Spanish students, and the
chance to hear the language in a more quickly,
spoken manner is helpful to me. It is good to
have this, gives people time to relax, while at
the same time they are learning. I am looking
forward to the next one. These movies are a great
idea, they should continue. Adam, Elementary
Spanish. On Letters from the Park The message
behind this film was one of love and I thought it
really brought out the Hispanic culture. The role
of death in this movie really showed the Hispanic
view about death. The Hispanics celebrate death
and are much more open about it than are
Americans. This film really taught me a lot about
the culture. Daniel, Elementary Spanish. The
movie Miracle in Rome was a very different movie,
especially dealing with cultural variations that
are present between Latin America and the United
States. I thought it was a very interesting movie
in the way that plot laid out. Matt, Elementary
Spanish. El video que se llama Milagro en Roma
fue muy extraño, pero me gustó mucho. Yo
recomentaré este video a mis amigos y,
posiblemente, lo miraré una vez más en el
futuro. Ashley, Intermediate Spanish. On
Erendira La película que yo miré la noche
pasada fue muy extraña pero interesante. Me doy
cuenta que otras culturas tienen creencias
diferentes que nosotros. Libby, Intermediate
Spanish. Esta película estaba llena de mucha
emoción. Había tristeza, cólera, amor y humor.
Cuando yo la miré, sentí las emociones de los
actores en la película. La película era muy de
ensueño e imaginativa. Me gustó mucho la
película. Emily, Intermediate Spanish. Pienso
que esta historia tiene el mensaje de que seamos
sinceros y tratemos de ser fieles a nuestras
parejas. No necesitamos de mediadores para ser
amados. Lilia, Intermediate Spanish.

except to become corrupt. Step by step, helped by
his pistol, Juan Vargas becomes the law and the
worst Major in the town's history. If you are a
