Here is what people are saying about the Butterfly
 "A Beautifully Produced Film" | 2010-01-15 |
| - Reviewed By K. Vestal from NC |
A beautiful period piece of 1930s Spain in all its political unrest. The young actor who plays Moncho proves himself a brilliant actor, but is also so completely adorable that he would have made the movie had he never even spoken. So expressive and filled with unusual depth for a boy of his age. The story is tender, a precious and loving friendship between a yong boy and his aging teacher; and raw, not polished to answer all the questions or to leave the audience feeling good about everything. It demands the questions of the time.
In Spanish with English subtitles, but well done, so the subtitles don't get in the way of seeing the film. Rated R for language, violence, and sexual content. |

 "A little derivative, but well put-together" | 2009-12-28 |

The Bottom Line:
The Tongue of the Butterfly occasionally feels like it's cribbed together from other films about children in wartime (Hope and Glory, Au Revoir Les Enfants, etc.) but it's well-acted and in its own way emerges as a complement to those better films; if you're interested in the Spanish Civil War or have seen those other films give it a look, but otherwise check out those two first.

The backdrop of "La Lengua de las Mariposas" is Spain just before the Spanish Civil War. On one level, it's a beautiful, touching story of a shy young boy and a warm older teacher. On another level, it's a tale of the loss of honesty of a village during difficult times.
There are so many themes in this movie - the warm love of a teacher for his students, the joy of a young child discovering the world, the complexity of the roles of the Catholic church, the intertwined realities of sexual relationships in a small village, the reactions of a crowd to military authority, etc.
This film is a wonderful painting using these themes as its palette. Highly recommended.... |

| Touching - warming - endearing - - though tragic - showing the changes in whims of masses. |

| Esa pelÃcula, "La Lengua de Las Mariposas" (en español) es casi perfecta con su explicación de la Guerra Civil de españa. Es buena cosa a usar en clases o para diversión. :) El chiquito es bonito y muy buen actor :) Y como siempre, Gómez actua con emoción y realidad. A mi me encanta!!! |
