La tregua

Based on La tregua by Mario Bennedetti, this movie is a good example of how bad an adaption of a plot from a novel can be.

Well this film has a very bad adaptation from the novel, bad plot, bad acting, bad locations, bad film-making, bad photography.

It's like a lot of short scenes of a minute or less, lot of the scenes even lack of dialogue, there are many scenes that can be cut out without affecting the movie...ah is a shame a so good novel can be put on the screen so badly.

Please don't waste your money watching this movie, with the same money you can better buy the book. The book is a great masterpiece. I give the movie a 0 in the range from 0 to 10, I cant understand why La tregua is called a movie, that cant be a movie.

Is an absolutely amazing drama about how life can be sometimes hard. And what is the role of your family in those hard situations.

It brings you to you father's time, and gives you a plentiful summary about how did the see things and live them in a hard-working way of life.

This story talks about the boring life that a 50 years old adult, without any kind of goal in his life, but work. And how a pretty lady shows up in his life, and starts an creamy romance, that reveals the true essence of our parents love. The evolution of the protagonist is amazing from an bored and just chilled out life to active and back again to passive way of life, because of his "wife" death.

It describes the 50ths where a new bunch of innovation waves came up to the Spanish (in this film Argentina's) lifestyle.

The family has inner problems such as a gay son, that at first he could't realized it.
