Volver

I think foreign films always have an obscure plot such as in the movie Volver.  In the movie the main character Paula’s father tries to molest her and she stabs him to death.  They girls try finding a way to get rid of the corpse. I think in most foreign films there is someone trying to get rid of dead body and it never goes smoothly. There is also always cheesy music playing in the background when this is going on. I don’t know why they always play this music. I think in US films the music isn’t usually this bad. Also, in foreign films they always find a way to show some nudity, somehow some way you always see some breasts. I can’t really explain the difference between the two, just that European story-telling is simply different. I think their sense of humor is different and the way they shot their scenes is too.  I also believe foreign films battle different topics and do not have to worry about censoring themselves as much and being politically correct. In this movie they battle death and ghosts and everything comes full circle in the end. Furthermore, Penelope Cruz and the rest of the cast gave a phenomenal performance which shows that foreign actors can act are just as well as Americans.
