FILM REVIEW

"Tres metros sobre el cielo" - Three meters above the sky

I have recently seen "tres metros sobre el cielo", a Spanish made movie by Fernando González Medina. It's a film based on a novel written in 2004 by the italian author Frederico Moccia. The novel is called "Tre metri sopra il cielo".

The main characters habe been preformed by two famous Spanish actors Mario Casas and María Valverde. I don't really like romantic films but this one is a teen romantic drama that tells the story of two young people who belong to different worlds. Babi (Maria Valverde) is a girl from upper-middle class that is educated in goodness, innocence and rules, so she is extremely polite. He (Mario Casas) is a rebellious boy, impulsive, and he likes the risk and danger of the fights and illegal motorbike races.

I enjoyed this film a lot although it has the typical ending of all romantic films, that the main characters fall in love with each other but the plot of the story in the film is quite good, so no matter how the end is.
