    Emotiva - Moving

    Cuando has leído el libro y conoces la historia, la película te conmueve aún más. Lloré de principio a fin con todo lo que Héctor Abad Gómez representaba para su familia y para la gente, y lloré recordando las injusticias de la vida y de la muerte.

    When you have read the book and you know the story, the film touches you the double. I cried from the beginning to the end with everything Hector Abad represented for all his family and for the people.

    A very good and refreshing adaptation

    This movie presents a past yet intimate take on an ever disappointing landscape of politics and violence within Colombia.

    The story surprised me with the variety of topics that I've never thought they have any relationship between, even some historical facts that were presented had an "oh that's why..." moment, mixed with some very intimate takes on the Abad-Faciolince family.

    A few scenes didn't resonate that much because of the acting, especially in the first half of the movie, but overall, the sensation left behind was joy and hopefulness.

    A good movie, with very good source material.

    Not very interesting

    The story of Hector Abad Gomez is moving and a perfect example of what has meant to be a thoughtful and honest leader in a country like Colombia, but the movie is not the most interesting portray of that struggle, and tries to be faithful to the book forgetting that cinema is already a new language and therefore a new opportunity to tell a story.

    A film we needed to see

    "El olvido que seremos" is a film with a particular feeling, highlighting the life of a man who fought for causes that are still of interest to the Colombian nation today. The way in which he approaches character development is appropriate and fits the Medellin's Society of the 70s and 80s, with an invaluable accuracy in the sets and costumes. The emotional relationship between shots and color to differentiate two different periods contribute to the greatness of the film, accompanied by good performances.

    However, the film continues to depend on the original novel, and certain scenes do not have the same power that they surely have in the book and some errors in the editing that can be, rarely, stressful to the viewer, do not interfere with the fact that this film has a soul. , and very appropriate for our times.

    Mediocre script adaptation

    Very mediocre film that lacks script. Mediocre directing and editing. The only remarkable thing is Javier Camara's and Patricia Tamayo's acting.
