Most of the people might have heard of this movie I am going to talk about tonight. Except for he fact that it is a Woody Allen film and that there are actresses like Penelope Curz and Scarlet Johansson have participated, the movie is quite alluring that it's filmed in Barcelona, one of the most beautiful cities I have ever visited. 

I first heard of this movie when I decided to travel to Barcelona a month ago. My friend who accompanied me there told me about it and said that I had to watch the movie before I left. Unfortunately, I was too lazy and was busy taking care of other stuff like school and packing, I didn't get to watch it like advised. After a lovely but a bit tiring week with friends, I needed to rest myself a little. That's when this movie came up in my mind. I thought, why not? Now that I have visited the city, and perhaps I can appreciate more and relate to it even. 

It was one of the better films by Woody Allen. Frankly, I liked it much more than Midnight in Paris, which I thought was quite lovely at the time when I watched it. Vicky Christina Barcelona shows three different female characters with different personality and view of life and in my opinion, it depicted them profoundly. They each had their own style of loving and being loved and they were all beautiful in their own way. 

Like always, I tried to find which one I was the closest to, personality-wise. But I couldn't find exactly who it was, then I realized, the whole point of the movie is being a different person and having a different style of life. I cannot find the exact same character as me anywhere else. Of course there are some similarities between people from time to time, but the exact same, no, it does not exist. 

The film showed struggles between reality and lust. What is right and wrong. What to pursue, what you want or what you need. The ending was quite realistic, but I could see that the two girls were not the same people as they were before the trip. Anything you do, you earn and lose something, no matter it's abstract or real.

Overall, it was a good movie after a week surrounded by extremely friendly people who love drinking. It gave me some time to be alone and think a little about love and life.
