My Movie Review: The movie is a nice little treat let you explore the wonderful destinations and enjoy the journey along the way, the night cap festivities' and the people give in camp vibe! Without Saying Goodbye is a romance about self-discovery through love filmed in spectacular sites around Peru making it a escapist but in such a good way, highly recommend this feature:) Having said that this film mainly suffers from poor writing, superficial at times based its strength on actor's charisma and nothing much happen insightful- not memorable I've forgot how it end! The story moves forward very quickly, failing to properly establish the characters even though the actors do a decent job, the plot is so predictable and the dialogue seems stiff and forced! This takes away from the realism in the film, making the characters seem somewhat dumb at times I don't understand why a man would chase after a woman that says she doesn't believe in marriage or romance, compares it like to being chained to a bridge and every time a problem comes her way she runs: she's not worth it say she's 34 but looks more mature like 44 sheesh! The lead actors are attractive and relaxed together as they dive into a pool, go backpack together and argue through the mountains if you take it lightly you enjoy it just don't dwell on it, some light comedy never gets too broad or irritating; the romance doesn't become a pointlessly steam mashfest; the drama keenly avoid being too deep instead rehash make things go away:) The nice takeaway is like you experience all they showed in the movie, it was so satisfying specially the culture shown in it, personally I am unexposed in those parts of the world but watching that made me realize what I want to do travel, discover cultures, different languages, come across people and know their lives, part shown in most natural way they ace so worth it:)
Movie News: ‘Without Saying Goodbye’ on Netflix, a Romantic Drama Set Against the Luscious Backdrop of Peru! Netflix movie Without Saying Goodbye is a romantic drama with comedic tendencies and scads upon scads of handsome scenery. So get ready to get lost in countless drone shots of Peruvian mountaintops and Cuzco cityscapes, and maybe find yourself lost in a romance between an architect and an artist. You know, opposites attract and all that, but they sure seem to be more heavily magnetized when the backdrop is this beautiful! The Gist: Salvador Campodonico (Maxi Iglesias) wakes up at zero-dark, his to-do list exploding on his phone. He hits the gym and takes a shower so we can understand how he maintains the ripped physique which we’ll get several opportunities to ogle throughout the movie. Then he heads to work – he’s an architect for his father’s hotel conglomerate, the biggest in Spain. Salvador remodels hotels into gleaming high-class urban monstrosities or beauties, depending on your point of view. He works so much, he makes your average workaholic look like Brad Pitt in True Romance. Cayo is magnetic as an unapologetic bohemian whose joie de vivre is cut with the melancholy of her tragic past. She finds nuance in her character, most importantly, transcends cliches. Thank the deity of your choice the Peruvian tourism board seems to have directed this movie, because its biggest draw is Peru itself. The mountains, the valleys, the lovely rugged terrain, the clouds kissing the peaks, the burbling brooks, the peaceful wooded expanses. Cuzco bustles with charm, delicious-looking food, lively people, rich cultural textures. Book your vacation now and imagine what a hotel full of $400/night rooms would look like among the stone churches and other loving preserve historical architectural delights, right:)
