my opinion
It showed the course of developments and coming out of the safe zone, among the key and obvious points of this film.
On the other hand, this movie shows the different aspects of man and the paths he can take. The paths that show us the duality of heaven and hell.
When talking about the concept of love, we may not know that love is a clear example of a transformation. If we also know that adhering to it and creating a desire in oneself to maintain this commitment, it requires thinking, practice and meditation. What you will encounter in this movie.
I suggest you watch this movie. You certainly won't regret it. Once you get to know the process, you'll find yourself excited and passionate about it. - khemass - 22 February 2024
A beautiful story, almost unrealistic
Sometimes we come across a beautiful love story of true love and forgiveness like this and we may think it is so unreal because we can't find such a good man around. Actually, I felt a bit of that too but when I really think about it...I was just jealous of Angel because she's so blessed to find the perfect man who unconditionally loves her although she doesn't deserve him at all, and that didn't happen to me. So, I should review this from an unbiased point of view.
I think the movie is fine in its overall production. We got beautiful camera work, great setting, and a well-performing cast. I think the quality as a film is on higher average.
As for the story, we watched a life of a lovely blond-hair girl growing up very bitter and cold for she had such a terrible father and had suffered so much under brutality of evil men. She became a prostitute with no feelings. Then we saw this God-loving farm man, who is handsome and kind, suddenly fell in love with her and just did everything to rescue her like prince charming on white horse. She betrayed him again and again, and yet he still loved her and forgave her. There were dramatic scenes of her falling back into hands of bad people because she stupidly left her husband but she survived and in the end she was able to push the past behind and stayed forever with this perfect man.
On one look, you might see a soap opera and ask questions like, what make he fell so deep with such a woman because she doesn't seem to have anything good except being so pretty? Does a young man who is handsome, stable, religious, and hot in bed exist on earth? But since this story is based on Christianity teachings, I would say yes. An undeserving person can have perfect love and God has shown us that through the forgiveness of Jesus Christ. And yes, such a perfect man exist because there are saints walking on earth. It's just that there are very few of them. And the final yes, if someone is loved unconditionally and is forgiven again and again for a period of time, she can be healed from her trauma and can truly love another person.
