The 2015 Colombian movie Dos Mujeres y una Vaca is very interesting and full of teachings.
The mother and her son's wife, who have not heard from their son who left home a long time ago, have accepted the situation and continue to live together. When they unexpectedly receive a letter, the two set out to find someone to read the letter because they are illiterate.
With its tragi-comic story, the movie actually focuses on the importance of literacy, while offering teachings on discrimination caused by illegal forces and its consequences. There must have been lives with similar stories once upon a time. Those who have experienced the value of literacy and the difficulties of illiteracy have had difficulty in expressing their experiences and hardships.
For the movie Dos Mujeres y una Vaca, I would not be misleading if I said that it had the kind of stories that can often be found in the ways of life of the time. Above all, since the story of the film takes place in a very warm, sincere and authentic environment, it has visuals that reflect the ordinary flow of life.
What I liked most about the movie is that the two women who set out to find someone to read the letter take their cow with them. Watching the scenes with the cow, which is the only thing they own and has a sentimental value because it has a place in the memories of the past, caused me to have very pleasant moments.
The story and the characters in the movie were extremely successful up to a point. Every scene triggered my curiosity about how the story, which managed to maintain its mystery, would progress, but a few elements that were included in the story later on and that I had difficulty making sense of caused the movie to evolve in a different direction.
While the main characters and the main story of the film reflect the drama and comedy genre very well, I had a hard time making sense of the purpose of the militia forces that were added to the story and their impact on the film. I interpreted it as the addition of the public to the struggle against some illegal groups, but I had a hard time understanding the behavior that would exist in the public, whether legal or illegal, and take on the public.
The biggest plus of the film was the drama scenes reflected by the lifestyle, behavior and tragi-comic stories of the two female characters. I liked the movie and its main storyline, except for the militia forces that joined the story later on. It would have been much more successful if the movie had been based on illiteracy and ended in this way. As far as I understood, the political messages that the movie tried to convey overshadowed the movie a bit.
Luisa Huertas as Rosana, the mother of the missing son, and Ana Maria Estupinan as Hermelinda, the wife of the missing man, were the most entertaining duo of the movie. Both their dialogues and behaviors are definitely worth watching. The cow accompanying them managed to become my favorite character.
I recommend watching Dos Mujeres y una Vaca as a reflection of a tragic story coming out of life. The movie promises entertaining moments. Could it have been much better? Definitely yes, but I can still say that the movie is worth the time spent.
Thank you very much for being here and reading. I hope you are having a pleasant life. I wish everyone who will see the movie a good time and goodbye!
