Telenovelas

Postby Cypress » Fri Sep 07, 2007 4:58 pm

I think we already had a topic about soap operas, but I couldn’t find it.

Well, I was wondering if anyone has seen the soap opera called “La viuda (de la mafia)”. I don't like the soap opera itself, but the soundtrack at the beginning is really cool, and the song is awesome 8) . Does anyone know the names of the song and the singer? I googled info about this telenovela, but I only found that it was filmed in Colombia in 2004. No luck with the song :(

Not really… Here is what I could understand



Believe me other lives don’t exist

Look at me …

… words, words…

I believe in you like I believe in God…

… only words, words…

Listen to me, I don’t want to live …

… for loving you, kissing you…

… dreams…

… words, words…

The next year the mexican television is going to celebrate 50 years of telenovelas.
This is a kind of tv program too succesful here and at latinamerican coutries.
I think is as the TV series at USA or another countries, but with very common stories, stories about families, lovers, etc.
Recently mexican soap operas had a transformation and begin to talk about politic and social problems, then is common now a days see soaps operas about a the life of the family of a corrupt senator (of course with any link to real personalities " :wink: ").
There were too historic soap operas, about the mexican independence and about an or some ex presidents, and belive me this was a extraordinary experiment, because we know the history that is on the bools but we don´t know the little secrets of personalities and soap operas have gave us.
I hope the soap operas change even more and we could get very good tv programas, not onlu the fool love stories.

In Brazil, some soap operas were even censured during the militar dictatorship because some themes were against the government or just because the president didn't like the theme. One of the censured soap operas has been "Roque Santeiro", that was censured in 1975 but shown after the end of the dictatorship, in 1985.

Today, all the brazilian soap operas have any social element in its story, since our economic and social inequality to our historic themes. Even so, I still don't watch soap operas.

Me too guys, I love them. Do you remember that old soap opera called the "white slave". and among the most recent I liked: Tieta, Miss Flor and her two housbands, Hilda Hurrican, Agost, and another whose name I don´t remember well but there was about "blue river" or something that.
Have you seen any of them??
