    i-was-crazy-once

    A clichéd journey of teenage romance.

    I delayed watching this until today due to its cliché story, and after finally seeing it, I can confidently confirm that it lives up to that expectation. It follows the typical trope of enemies-turned-lovers, where a good girl falls for a bad boy, but ultimately fails to change him. Naturally, there are dramatic events that shape their characters, and despite finding happiness in the end, it's not with each other.

    While it's not a film I would choose to rewatch, I don't regret seeing it either. It serves as a decent choice to pass the time on a boring evening, unless something better on your watchlist.

    Godzilla is more realistic than this movie

    A hooligan destroys a car of a girls friend (actually his dads car) while she's in it Car gets wrecked, her friend gets beaten up Girl falls in love with the hooligan??? Her friend finds a guy stealing money from purses Girl falls in love with the thief??? Guy beats up everyone, hits his girl Girl is in love with the hooligan Teenagers see this and love the 2 main characters presented as badasses with suble signs and completely ignore the messeges the movie sends If you want to get the girl, you need to steal money, beat people up, beat up her friend, ruin his dads car, throw her in a pool, occasionally hit her and in no chance she'll be yours!! Worst movie ever

    Romantic flick packed with a twisted romance , catching songs , violence and motorcycle races

    Exciting drama plenty of emotion , thrills , fights and a deep love story , being based on the novel of the same name by Federico Moccia. Mario Casas leads the cast of this ¨Three Meters Above The Sky¨ the story of two young people who belong to different worlds ; this one starts with a misfit , impulsive , unconscious young man nicknamed ¨H¨ (Mario Casas) , leader of a band of violent teenagers . Meanwhile , H is reconnecting with the past so that it means fighting and also a new love . When he is driving his powerful motorcycle he meets a beautiful teenager , Babi (Maria Valverde), the girl from upper-middle class that was educated in goodness and innocence . Babi reluctant at first but finally falls in love for him . Along the way , ¨H¨ gets mixed up with some tough as well as bad guys and is embodied in endless struggles and illegal motorbike races .

    Sensitive as well as romantic drama is loaded with an enjoyable love story , soap opera , lingering shots of wonderful as well as youthful faces , twisted situations and with a distinctly Spanish idiosyncrasy . It is the chronicle of a love improbable , almost impossible between two maladjusted young people : Mario Casas and Maria Valverde but inevitable dragging in a frantic journey of family opposition , motorcycle races , difficult romance and full of violence . Although is filled with predictability and cliché-ness the film results out to be pretty entertaining , but overlong . It turns out to be pleasantly fun that offers no intellectual stimulus whatsoever ; an exercise in pure escapism in which entertainment and thrilling happenings are guaranteed .

    Passable acting by Mario Casas as Hache , a rebellious boy who has an appetite for risk and danger in the limit of common sense , a ¨rebel without a cause¨ , in James Dean'style . This is Mario Casas's most important screen appearance in screen and pretty well Marta Valderde as the inexperienced and innocent adolescent . And agreeable and charming Marina Salas as Katina , her best friend . As shown in the film, H and Babi develop a relationship , and actually the two actors developed a relationship of their own in 2010 , though it is known that the two broke up in September of 2014 ; and subsequently Marta Valverde married to prestigious musical conductor Gustavo Dudamel . As you should be aware , than similar from US films with romantic touches , you do get to see people having sex in this , not explicit , but there are naked bodies , and some strong sexual scenes . Ample support cast formed by newcomers who would have an acceptable and uneven career , such as Nerea Camacho , Alvaro Cervantes of ¨Carlos I¨ series , Andrea Duro of ¨Olmos and Robles¨ series , Pablo Rivero of ¨Cuentame¨ series , Diego Martín , and Cristina Plazas , Jordi Bosch as parents of Bibi . Colorful and glimmer cinematography by Daniel Aranyó . Being shot on location in Mataró , El Prat De Llobregat , Teià , Montgat , Sant Boi De Llobregat , L'Hospitalet De Llobregat , Santa Cristina D'Aro , Barcelona, Catalonia , Girona, Catalonia , Spain . In addition , atmospheric and moving musical score by Manel Santisteban , adding commercial and attractive songs .

    Being based on Federico Moccia bestseller book . Federico is a Best-seller writer and occasionally director , known for ¨Amore 14¨ , ¨Scusa Ma Ti Voglio Sposare¨ , ¨Tre Metri Sopra Il Cielo¨ (2004) He also wrote several scripts as ¨Palla Al Centro¨ , ¨Ho Voglia Di Te¨ , ¨Classe Mista 3A¨ and ! Cannibal holocaust 2 ¡ . ¨Perdona Si Te Llamo Amor¨ . The motion picture ¨Tres Metros Sobre el Cielo¨ or "Three Steps Above Heaven" (2010) was professionally directed by the Spanish filmmaker Fernando González Molina . And he also made the sequel : ¨Tengo Ganas De Ti¨ (2012) , in which ¨H¨ falls for a gorgeous dancer called Gin , Clara Lago , but he discovers again his first great love : Maria Valverde . He went on directing successes as the $13.5 million period drama "Palm Trees in the Snow" also with Mario Casas and a thriller . ¨El Guardian Invisible¨. And made several TV series as ¨Luna , Misterio De Calenda¨ , ¨Bienvenidos Al Lolita¨ and ¨Los Hombres De Paco¨ .

    Empty movie full of nothing meaningful

    What I don't understand is at what point do they start to love each other? This is not real love that makes you feel warm inside. This is a piece of s***. They are both drop dead gorgeous, they look at each other and Babi forgets whatever bullshit he did to her just because he's drop dead gorgeous and they fall in love only because they are beautiful. Honestly I was watching this and I thought, they must have skipped some months because these guys have nothing in common, nothing to bond over. We didn't see any meaningful dialogue between them. At WHAT POINT, and WHY are they deeply in love? This movie is immature love at the most. I'm 16 but I just think at 18-21 people are more mature and should have deeper relationships? Maybe i would have liked this movie when i was 10. It's like a very young teens/child fantasy because it has no basis on reality or true love (sorry I keep mentioning this).

    Watch this movie if you want to kill brain cells.

    I liked the music at the start star for that. And it was entertaining, I didn't get bored (maybe at the end).

    Not a banal love story

    After watching this film I had strange feelings. On the one hand "Tres Metros Sobre el Cielo" is a beautiful love story with nice moments, beautiful actors and breathtaking scene. But if you think over a plot of this film you understand that the main idea is not to show a beautiful love but to tell us about the world of teenagers who have absolutely different lives.

    Babi is a good girl from a respected family. Hache is a bad boy, who loves freedom, burn-up and everything fringe. But just a small meeting changed their lives cardinally. They fell in love, did crazy things, resolved themselves and everything would be fine, but they are so different that despite their feelings, they cannot be together.

    At first sight it sounds like a banal film about a tragic love, but it is necessary to watch it to understand that it is not so.

    Through the film my mood changed a lot of times. After it my head was full of thoughts. In my opinion, "Tres Metros Sobre el Cielo" is a film that should be watched not only one time.
