I like the movie “ Tortilla Soup” because many can relate to the characters and have similar problems as them. The movie is about a Mexican- American family who are trying to find their identities. Martin Naranjo is a very strict father and his three daughters Leticia, Carmen and Maribel, each one with their unique personality.
Leticia the oldest, is very conservative and is obedient to his father. She is in her thirties and is chemistry teacher. At the beginning, she only wore dull colors and seems to have a very boring personality. She has no social life and she portrays a depressed face at all times. She was a single women living with her father in her 30s. As the character realizes that it feels good to be bad, she discovers herself.
When Leticia finds the anonymous love letters, and wonders who the admirer is, it makes her change. She thinks her secret admirer is the coach Orlando Castillo. She is more aware of the way she looks and tries better ways of being attractive.She wears make up and wear more colorful clothes. she seems more confident and excited.For the first time, she disobeys her father. She gets married with the coach and later confronts her father.
Her personality changes and becomes who she reality is. At the end of the movie, she becomes a happy and confident person.

I like the way you have covered leticia's characterization about how dull she was at the beginning and how she changed into more happy and confident lady until the end of the story. The only sentence that I understand here is your second last sentence of your last paragraph that says "Her personality changes and becomes who she reality is." But that might just be me. :). But still great job!!!
ReplyDeleteGood points, I also wrote about her, to me she was the one character that changed the most!
