VICKY CRISTINA BARCELONA

What a charged environment at the Roxy the other night! With a glass of wine or two and watching a movie it was emotionally charged and was extraordinarily easy to have a great time. Vicky Cristina Barcelona was one of the most entertaining and fun low budget film I have ever seen! Woody Allen does a phenomenal job bring three completely different characters together to meet at such a romantic place and get caught up in a love triangle. A story of two friends that are on two different paths in life, one going with the flow and the other being suppressed by a lifestyle that she is not sure that she wants. Woody Allen meshes them together with a man named Antonio who is extremely suave. The viewer is told by Woody Allen what is exactly going on in the movie and how each character is facing a type of internal conflict whether with their current situation or with a man. Allen style is blunt, telling the audience what is going on and in some ways his voice brings stability throughout the movie. Even though he is not in the movie Allen oversees what is going on in every aspect, almost like a guardian angel or the devils advocate. Woody Allen know precisely what to do to keep the viewer entertained, with such as sexually charged movie one can not help to be sucked into the movie and wanting to be in a romantic place with their significant other or in this movies case a fling in such a character like Antonio.
