No Destilando Amor for 6/8/07 - Reminder
Labels: Destilando
Some of these novelas are so ridiculous that making fun of the characters and silly plot is half the fun. I don't remember how many times I have sat here and cackled to myself and nearly fallen off my chair!!!!
Thank you, recappers for doing this in your free time and doing it so well!!
Right on, Julie!!!!
Thanks again!

--Frankly, melodrama in U.S. culture stopped being taken seriously as an artform about the turn of the 19th century or the early 20th, a bit before WWI, I believe, if not sooner. Even the writers of these things, themselves, take potshots at their own work through the dialogues of their characters. Twice I've heard Sergio Sendel's characters in different novelas say something about "more coincidences than a telenovela." In fact, I think, Cesar in Heridas de Amor said just that. Destilando's main heroine is constantly ranting against them to her mother.
Anyone who has seen my posts knows I am in awe of the artform as the Latins have developed it. However, a stern reverence is something I feel is best left for church or synagogue.
The real 'Montalvo' actually lives in Pa.
