love in the time of cholera

what wikipedia says: Based on the novel of the same name by Gabriel García Márquez, it tells the story of a love triangle between Fermina Daza and her two suitors, Florentino Ariza and Doctor Juvenal Urbinowhich spans 50 years, from 1880 to 1930.





  1. I watched this movie with my mom over break and it was awesome and adorable and wonderful.
  2. Gabriel Garcia Marquez knows how to write.
  3. Javier Bardem is the cutest person in the history of the world. The way he plays Florentino is endearing and warm. Penelope Cruz is a lucky lady.
  4. I want to read the book now.
  5. PLUS! now I know what they're talking about in Serendipity... shallow reaaaasonnnnsss :)
  6. The movie was also very aesthetically beautiful. There were wonderful landscapes and other awesomeness. it was eye candy.
  7. I love age makeup. They made Javier into a cute old man, and it was awesome and believable. Same with Giovanna, she played a graceful old lady. I almost forgot that they were younger actors.
