Review of Three Steps Above Heaven

Well I also hated this film before I even saw it, but I must say it was a pleasant surprise. Maybe it's a typical teenage love story, but it has something of a mess that I like and that makes it a little bit unpredictable. Don't know why everyone talking negatively about Hugo's behavior, because in the place where I have grown up, he's just a normal guy like every other, with dark past after him, trying hard to run away into a normal relationship in which he won't be hurt nor hurt anybody. And in the end you see that for people like him it's really impossible, and that makes me kind of sad and angry at the same time, because I found myself in his character. And also it's obvious that there are a lot of women who just fall in love with that kind of men(Just like Babi did), so that's their choice, and no one should judge them. I hate fake feminism or boys talking about sexism, you won't find them in this movie. The only thing I didn't like are stuffs like British flag, big Coca- Cola sign, so inappropriate for a movie of the nation with so rich and beautiful culture like it is Spanish culture, there's no need for making attention with it. But, finally, I think that this movie don't deserve bad critics from people who don't understand psychical structure of a person who had been hurt by family member, lost faith in life during growing up , suffered strong violence of any kind etc. And to me, its all about Hugo's life in their love story, and that actor who's playing him is really good one, so charming.
