Review of Butterfly

Butterfly (1999)
10/10
About the necessity of presence
26 December 2006
How can live in world of glamorous sights? And why? Which metaphor covers the wars in sprain's moments of a long past? The Spain in the Civil war period. A child, a old teacher, politics, jokes and family life. Nature, discoveries and inescapable betrayal. Amovie about beauty and illusion. About beliefs and memory. About quick sands. In fact, a tale about Crist. Same sacrifice and same desire to make a new form of world thanks to the dialog with a child's consciousness.The secret of each hour like the evening of a dream. The butterfly and his presence in the eye of a schoolboy. Don Gregorio is not only a master like every source of knowledge, not the ordinary teacher with same methods and exigency. He is only a presence, like Malena for Renato Amoroso. This aspect is essential for every life. For every memory of each child. Final cry is an accident. An realistic act and the recognition of the end. Mocho is mature. The fall of golden age is real and powerful. But then?
