Reviewing movies

Yesterday I went to see the movie Biutiful, nominated for Best Foreign Film at the Oscars, with Javier Bardem.
It was very good but also very disturbing as it brings out to light the dark characters of this world who do what it takes to survive, even if it involves going over other people´s rights. It was the raw, cruel reality of so many illegal  people and the conflict between the good and bad things that they are willing to do.
It brought tears  down my cheeks, not because of Bardem´s looks (that´s what my mom says) but rather as his conflicting emotions between what he considers to be good and bad, and dealing with a terminal illness. And yet, the film is captivating.
I guess it´s not for everybody´s taste because you have to be prepared for what you are going to see in it. I saw it all, but my mom said that quite a few people left as they could not longer see the horrors of it. I knew what it was about, I mean the general idea, and went to see it because it had a good review and it´s nice to see that some directors can show us a different reality than most of us.
