	Hayek gets serious in 'Butterflies'
		"In the Time of the Butterflies" is Salma Hayek's serious movie, after all those action flicks and her coquettish turns on late-night talk shows.
		The Showtime movie, on Sunday night, is based on a Julia Alvarez novel about real people -- three sisters who were tragic heroines of the popular resistance to the Leonidas Trujillo dictatorship in the Dominican Republic.
		As the movie has it, a world of misery could have been avoided if only Trujillo hadn't invited Minerva to a ball in Santo Domingo, and then pawed her behind when he danced with her.

		Plot Outline: In the Time of the Butterflies is inspired by the true story of the three Mirabal sisters who, in 1960, were murdered for their part in an underground plot to overthrow the government.
		"Butterflies", the code name for three sisters and underground resistance conspirators in the Dominican Republic during the dictatorial Trujillo regime, bounds through time like a mediocre biopic taking pause at moments obviously designed to evoke emotion rather than infusing a sense of reality.

		Alvarez breathes life into these historical figures--known as "las mariposas," or "the butterflies," in the underground--as she imagines their teenage years, their gradual involvement with the revolution, and their terror as their dissentience is uncovered.
		Her novel is a statement about politics and history told in very human terms and, as importantly, told not with outrage, but with self-possession.
		The movie, albeit wonderful, does not cover the depth of the characters and the social situation of the Dominican Republic in this time period as well as the book does.

		Comment: IN THE TIME OF THE BUTTERFLIES was based on the book by Julia Alvarez and as the saying goes this book was much better than the movie.
		this was a great movie and the acting was inspiring but as always you should read the book aas well as watch the moive and choose which one is good but loved them both.
		When Mate and Patria eventually join her, the three become known as Las Mariposas, "the Butterflies." Jailed and tortured when they are caught by Trujillo's army, they and their husbands hope that by their example they will make life better for their children and for their country.

	Somewhere in Time: Mackinac Island Romantic Movie
		As no mode of motorized transportation is allowed, upon your arrival there is nothing to hinder your appreciation of the island's true heartbeat-- the steady clatter of horses hooves from the multitude of surreys which slowly amble through the streets of this idyllic retreat.
		Rendezvous at Wings of Mackinac, a conservatory where exotic butterflies representing the world's beauty float past, their delicate flight as flirtatious as the flutter of a ladies' fan.
		Rent a bicycle and admire the abundant Victorian architecture in the area, or walk hand-in-hand down main street, where you cannot help but be transformed into a "fudgie," the endearing sobriquet bestowed by the island's permanent residents on the sightseers who succumb to the temptation to nibble on the famous Mackinac Island treat.

		In particular, the giddy, childish diary entries of Mate, the youngest, may seem irritatingly mundane at first, but in time Mate's heroism becomes the most moving of all, as the sisters endure the arrests of their husbands, their own imprisonment and the inexorable progress of Trujillo's revenge.
		Butterflies is based on the lives of the four Mirabel sisters (code name: "Mariposas," that is, butterflies), three of whom were martyred in 1960 during the liberation of the Dominican Republic from the dictator Trujillo.
		IN THE TIME OF THE BUTTERFLIES is a masterful work that illustrates the perniciousness of political oppression in every aspect of a society, written in a language of turbulent calmness.

	DVD Review: In The Time Of The Butterflies
		Stronger and more powerful in the more dramatic second half, "In The Time Of The Butterflies" is often tense, horrifying and powerful; I'd almost think it would've been even better had it filled out the characters and story with additional scenes.
		VIDEO : "In The Time Of The Butterflies" is presented by MGM in 1.33:1 full-frame, which appears to be the film's original aspect ratio.

		A skillful blend of fact and fiction, In the Time of the Butterflies is inspired by the true story of the three Mirabal sisters who, in 1960, were murdered for their part in an underground plot to overthrow the government.
		Julia Alvarez masterfully tells the story of the Mirabal sisters in the Dominican Republic during the reign of the dictator Trujillo in "Butterflies." Alvarez follows the story of the Mirabal family from childhood to their brutal murder in 1960.
		It was as though being transported to that time in history and walking in the footsteps of the Butterflies.

		In the Time of the Butterflies is a well-made story of the lives of the Mirabal Sisters and their struggle for democracy and justice.
		If only half of the story of In the Time of the Butterflies is remotely related to reality, though, then the honors given to these three women are pitifully small.
		While it is hard to tell how much fiction permeates In the Time of the Butterflies, historical reports do confirm that Trujillo was in the habit of satisfying his sexual appetite with women from all walks of life whom he pursued, adding the sexual exploitation of his country’s women to his list of cruelties commited.

		Despite a few minor weaknesses, "In the Time of the Butterflies" is a compelling film that greatly deserves to be seen by a wider audience (and the modest cost of this excellent DVD allows that to happen).
		I Loved this movie; different content and effort to bring a part of the history of the first city of the new world, The Dominican Republic.
		After I saw this movie, I was moved to research more abou the Dominican Republic and the Dictator Trujillo and I was amazed to know that this small Island located in the "antillas" is the cultural heritage of America, where the first university, Hospital, catedral of the new world "America" was founded.

		In The Time of the Butterflies traces the life of Minerva Mirabal ( Salma Hayek) and her family and the heroic struggle to free the citizens from this ruthless dictator.
		Together with her husband (who gave Minerva the nickname ‘Butterfly’), fellow citizens and her sister they cause chaos by undertaking everything from smuggling weapons to placing street placards in the dead of night.
		Many of the major events in her life were helped by the will of Trujillo who must have been captivated or blinded by her charisma.

		I had never heard of author Julia Alvarez before I rented In the Time of the Butterflies, a film adaptation of her book of the same title.
		After seeing the film I'm interested in reading her book which has to be far more and enlightening and textured than the sappy, melodramatic film version of the lives of three martyred sisters.
		Butterflies is surprisingly short at a mere 90 minutes and it's shocking violent conclusion comes almost out of nowhere.

		It is hard to give too much insight into this movie without giving it away, but the action and butterflies are relentless.
		Don't judge the movie by its poor choice of opening music that would leave you to believe you are about to watch Weekend at Bernie's 3, or the fact that you are offered up a double dose of credits in the beginning.
