Una Maid en Manhattan - 3

Since this Freshman Seminar began, I have learned so much about the wonderful world of telenovelas. The first time I watched a telenovela I just lagged through it. I didn't pay it any mind, I just saw a group of people acting like mad men with extreme facial expressions and reactions, but there is so much more. At this point, I am so hooked. Even after this class ends I may still be curled up catching up on my show on the weekends. You don't even need to understand the language to see the complexity of these productions. So much thought and planning goes on to produce every single episode. You may think they chose threw in a random song for the scene you just watched, but no. That song was specifically chosen to send your mind a message of what's happening with the characters and the emotions. It may have even been personally made for that very scene. I am watching Una Maid en Manhattan. This is no longer just an assignment for me, I am emotionally involved. It is just so gripping! Many girls from my hall even started watching it with me. However, when we watch, I know it isn't the same thing. They see a complex and compelling melodrama; I see actors, producers, writers, cameramen, and so many others who are working just out of the camera's eye, striving for perfection. So much to lose, but so much to gain as well. I'm glad they risked it.
