Title: Vivan las mariposas!
Product review: I decided to purchase this DVD despite the negative reviews I read about it. I'm very dissapointed with this movie. It makes Trujillo's reign seem benign. Does not really show the fear of those who lived in that time, and more importantly, made the Mariposas look like whining instigators. I read Julia Alvarez's book, and have read as much as possible about life during this time in the Dominican Republic.I also have first hand accounts of what it was like from family members who lived in the country during that time and even exhiled in other countries as a result of this. This movie does not even come close to portraying any of this.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
