Bella portraits such a beautiful story of family, love, understanding and compassion. What is even more amazing is the story of the lead actor, Eduardo Verastegui, who on the verge of breaking it big, doing $30 million projects, began to refuse to play a part in any project that portraits the stereotype of Latino as womanizer and liar and Latina as a sex object. Eduardo said he wanted to make movie that he can take his grandmother and mother to see without any scene where he has to cover their eyes. He went so far as to not being able to make his rent next month without compromising his beliefs. Even while he was presented with projects that he could have taken and paid for a house. The rest of the world imitates America, and America copies what Hollywood portraits. The one repeated theme by both Eduardo and the producer Sean Wolfington was that they want to light a candle instead of cursing the darkness. So we need to support them by telling everyone to go and see Bella. They are only released in 164 theaters nation wide instead of the general release to 4,000 theaters but their tickets sold by mid day Friday of this opening weekend could have already broken the record. Even if you couldn't make it this weekend, just buy the ticket anyway to support great movie like this one.
