How easy is to put aside what give us life, how easy is to fall into "reality". This movie is about the importance of recovering what we've lost in the past for being "somebody". Our whole life can change in five seconds, but it seems that we always deny this fact. When watching this movie you'll remember that we are the products of a not-so-good social machinery. Highly recommended for those who love life.

Life is what you choose to make of it
Watching this movie, I couldn't help but cry. It is not hard to identify with Rafael, this guy who is so submerged in his the world of his business, that he doesn't have enough time to give to others around him (his mother/father, his girlfriend, his daughter from a marriage that also failed due to the same thing...) It's sad to realize how many of us fall in this category, where a business meeting can take precedence over those, more important things in one's life, but it happens. And Ricardo Darín (Marco from "Nine Queens") does a magnificent job at playing the part in this movie.

Equally odd are the turns our lives need to take for us to realize how fragile we are and how important it is for us not to fall pray of the machine that hounds us and surrounds us. Rafael had to suffer a stroke to "get it", and even then, he'd still struggle against some deeply rooted habits. His dad and the strength of the love he still had for his mom, after over 44 years of marriage and in spite of her ailment (suffering from Alzheimer's), inspires Rafael to overcome any leftover stupidity in his life and not let the important things be lost without a fight.

"Son of the Bride" is an inspiring story with splendid acting by the entire cast, that reminds you of the important things in life and that life itself is indeed what you choose to make of it.

The stuff that life is really made of...
A wonderfully touching movie and great acting, too. Don't miss it.
