One of the few Romantic films that you can watch.

Its the third day of my movie marathon. I have been seeing a movie a night for the past 3 nights since the school holidays is going to be over soon. After watching The Animal and Mercury Rising for the last two nights, I needed to watch something that is not a comedy or a thriller so I started flipping the dvds which i have borrowed and saw this movie; Walk In The Clouds.

The cast of this show is;
Keanu Reeves as Paul Sutton
Aitana Sanchez-Gijon as Victoria Aragon
Giancarlo Gianini as Alberto Aragon
Anthony Quinn as Don Pedro

Paul Sutton
Paul Sutton is portrayed as a very hounorable man. Willing to go out of the way to help other people.He is also an orphan who longs to have a family.

Victoria Aragon
Victoria Aragon is a college student who doesn't think highly of his father. She is fedup by her father's traditional thinking.

Alberto Aragon
The father of Victoria. He has a traditional thinking. The roots of a family is very important to him. He is the kind of person who will do anything for his family but he doesn't know how to express his love towards his family.

Del Pedro
Del Pedro is Victoria's grandfather. He is a very jovial person and unlike his son Alberto, he doesn't have the traditional thinking.

The Plot

The movie is about a man returning from World War2 hoping to find his wife waiting for him.But soon he finds out that everything is different now. The marriage that he had before going off to war was a mistake .He took back his old job of selling chocolates after some convincing from his wife and while on the way to Sacremento for business , he bumps into Victoria Aragon in the train.

Like most movies, the first meeting of the main characters in a romantic comedy is often full of coincidence.Victoria vomitted onto Paul's uniform, their train ticket got inter-changes, they went on the same bus etc. but luckily the "coincidence" factor was not overplayed.

Victoria Aragon was on her way back to her family who has a vineyard but soon Paul finds out that Victoria is pregnant but she has split up with the man she was with.

Knowing that Victoria's father will kill her if he finds out about it, Paul offers to help her by acting as her husband for a day.This is where the movie picks up. Paul follows Victoria back to her family's vineyard to meet her family. Victoria's father(Alberto) feels that he got betrayed by her daughter because she came home married.

Alberto also dislike the fact that Paul Sutton doesn't have any family background since he is an orphan. Slowly the film will show you how Paul gain the acceptance of Alberto.

The movie after that is all about family values, love and sorrow. Since this is a good film, I would just stop revealing the details here. Now you must be thinking, why Paul didn't leave on the next day since he was only acting as Victoria's husband for a day. This is due to Del Pedro who often happens to be in the right place at the right time.

This movie is really touching and unlike romantic shows nowadays, it doesn't focus solely on the two main characters and their "coincidence". The movie focuses a lot on family values.

The Ending

The ending of this movie is very good to say the least. Everything will be concluded unlike other films which leaves things dangling.However the film is a bit short at 102minutes.

Recommendation

Just the right film to get you into that romantic mood.
