A young married couple should be able
to lead a fairy tale “happily ever after” lifestyle. If only the
husband weren’t a paid contract killer, a bad guy who made some
other bad guys really angry. It made their lives really complicated. Music video: Tinka Tinka performed by Priyanka Chopra-Jonas.
There were light-hearted moments. But
there was nothing funny about the plot. There are 3 brothers. One
brother is mentally challenged and when the father dies, he leaves
all the money to this son. The other 2 brothers, who feel that have
been cheated, scheme to try to get the inheritance.
The film is called “7” because the
woman has seven husbands. Each time she marries, she is certain the
man she chose will be her soulmate for life. It doesn’t work out
and she conveniently becomes a widow, albeit she is never charged
with any crime. In the end, she does find her soulmate. To be fair,
the other six had it coming.
Two guys need to rent an apartment at a
complex in Miami, Florida USA, with one catch. They have to be gay.
They pretend to be gay, sign the lease, and their roommate is a hot
young heterosexual female that both of them fall for; only she
doesn’t know it because she thinks they’re gay. The movie is
cute and funny!
My review and recommendation were shared on my partner blog:
Did you know that sunflowers turn to follow the sun? In Greek mythology, a young nymph fell in love with the sun god Apollo. What do you think the gods did to her? It's a tragic love story. The movie "Sunflower" which stars Sophia Loren is also a tragic love story. Where to Watch.
But the sunflower has more than one love story.
Do you enjoy old movies?Are you also a fan of Sophia Loren? If so, you may have already seen this film, but if you haven't, it comes highly recommended. (That means my husband liked it! ☺) It's a very moving love story about a newly wedded couple. The woman's husband went to war and did not return home. Even though others tell her he is probably dead, she believes her husband is alive and sets out to prove it."In the Soviet Union, Giovanna visits the sunflower fields, where there is supposedly one flower for each fallen Italian soldier, and where the Germans forced the Italians to dig their own mass graves." (Quote Source) That's it! No spoilers. That's all you'll get out of me, except to say that, this movie would make a great addition to your personal video library. Ms. Loren has starred in many movies that just didn't enough publicity or airtime. This is one of them.
Fans of Monica Belluci will likely agree that this was her best film ever! It's the most touching love story about true genuine everlasting love and about how hateful people can be really cruel to an innocent woman who has done them no wrong.
Today Romania is a Republic and enjoys a good relationship with many countries, the United States being one of them. But this was not always the case.
There was a time when Romania was ruled by a ruthless and oppressive dictator, Nicolae Ceaușescu. He is no longer with us.
One can imagine all the Romanians were likely dancing in the streets the day of his execution. It was also Christmas Day so they would have been celebrating anyway.
● Born in Romania, she lived during the Ceaușescu regime. She escaped. Her novel “The Appointment” incorporates some of her own personal experiences. The story is about a young Romanian woman who has an appointment that she must keep.
The story begins :
“I’ve been summoned. Thursday, at ten sharp.”
The story ends :
“The trick is not to go mad.”
● The lines in between paint a clear picture of what life was like in Communist Romania.
