Post 4: La lengua de las mariposas.

 

Undoubtedly of the films that have marked me the most is "The language of the Butterflies". I remember I saw this movie when I was very young (8 years old). We saw her one weekend afternoon at home with my parents and cousins. My older cousin told us about the movie and then we decided to watch it.

Is a Spanish film released in 1999. The history takes in a village in Spain in the first half of the twentieth century. Spain was in the second republic and the beginning of the civil war.

It is in this context that the story of an eight year old boy named Moncho who begins to go to school takes place. It is here that he meets the professor, Don Gregorio, who in his work as a teacher instilled that his students grow up in freedom. 

Don Gregorio, as is to be suspected, was of leftist ideas and like Moncho's family those who supported Republican ideas. 

The ending I will not tell you because I really recommend this movie.

The first time I saw this I cried a lot just like every time I see her again, 

I's a beautiful and very deep film.
