Pensando En Parientes

  I posted some of the following comments on a movie forum elsewhere.   Includes descriptions of parts of recent episodes of  PARIENTES A LA FUERZA  (Episode 61, 64 etc).  So you may prefer to wait until you've seen those before reading the rest (tho there's also included interesting and "enlightening" remarks about original  CAFE   CON AROMA DE MUJER  and  LA MENTIRA  too--tho I consider "previews of coming attractions" rather than true spoilers).      Am trying to find movie with scene that seems referred to/spoofed/parodied in Episode 61: "Estrategia" of  PARIENTES A LA FUERZA (Family By Force) , in which two people are "trapped" in glass sided room (if I describe more details, is sort of spoiler, but this version is humorous, romantic, and then plot-twist surprising--as part of ongoing "emotional roller coaster ride" concept of this telenovela about Hollywood scriptwriter who falls in love with Mexican singer...

Relatively short(er) post below is sort of afterthoughts addenda to two recent much longer ones.   BACK TO THE FUTURE   Just had another epiphany about  PARIENTES A LA FUERZA :  Posters for George Cruz movies in very first episode foreshadow film genres played with in novela.  Include comedy, action/crime/thriller, zombie/ghost/living dead " el virus que se comio a todos ", Teen "peace and love" in Los Angeles,  blindfold PROOF OF LIFE/love is blind?  Maybe Samurai/martial arts--been lots of visual & verbal tigers--CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON? www.Telemundo.com redirects to www.NBC.com App for all episodes (so far) On Demand.     https://youtu.be/Pvk-j4KLhEQ At bottom of this post are list of actual well-known now classic movies I feel are referenced in  PARIENTES A LA FUERZA --series that c ould be called "a Hollywood love story" (that is to say, appealing to movie lovers), enjoyable on so many levels.  One fun game for...

English subtitles     https://youtu.be/I5-mONlbuZI    Spanish subtitles    https://youtu.be/3Vvlj6JfnY0 George finally takes shower he couldn't in previous chapter.  While he's in bathrobe (white trimmed navy blue--which I think may symbolize water--and black slippers which may also be symbolic), and his hair wet, Carmen "comes clean" (like Ep. 6 title " Cuentas claras ") telling him why her family can't return to Mexico.   George says to Carmen " No tienes que pedirme perdon ".  (could that be translated to famous line in 1970 movie LOVE STORY that Jenny says, "Love means never having to say you're sorry"?)  He offers to pay or loan money for Juancho's gambling debts, but Carmen refuses to let him.  Marga and mama Rosa sort thru beans in the kitchen, remarking there's a lot of stones.  They are overheard by Rocco and Robert while women talk of how George decided Leti and her husband must leave the house, which they r...

For complete capitulos go to  www.Telemundo.com    All entire episodes of PARIENTES A LA FUERZA (so far) can be seen  On Demand with  www.NBC.com  app . Recently had epiphany on circles/circling/cycles (three ring circus?) in PARIENTES A LA FUERZA.   Most notable is Orbit Studio:  an orbit is defined as "path followed by a heavenly body going AROUND another, as the path of a planet* around the sun".  (Remember, a sun is also a STAR--like Carmen.)  I'm trying to remember where I noticed childlike depiction of the solar system on a wall in something I saw on TV.  Since only program I'm watching is PALF--besides old movies on video tape--probably was in Tenoch's home, perhaps painting was supposedly made by Rocco; I noticed somewhere around 50 episode mark.    Roller coaster ( Montana Rusa ) behind sightseeing "Hollywood honeymoon" new lovers Carmen and George in Ep. 2  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Park...
