Film evaluation of the situation in Spain

This film is a romantic comedy. Local daughter-in-law, foreigner, regional cultural conflict, fake marriage, a mistake, made her a big shot. The theme of national contradiction and reconciliation has been integrated into these cliché plots, which has long occupied the top spot in the Spanish box office list and become the second highest box office movie in the history of Spanish movies. A young man in southern Spain (Seville) pursues a Basque girl, which is a very localized story setting. Many jokes about dialects and customs are difficult for foreign audiences to understand. However, any multi-ethnic country can adapt this film and translate it locally, which may become a blockbuster movie.

Most of the jokes in the film come from Basque nationalism. Just ten years ago, the explosion of Basque terrorist organizations in Madrid directly led to the downfall of the former Spanish government. The success of such a film in Spain now may just show their optimism and courage to forget their scars. Of course, this is also inseparable from the author's clever handling. Even the most prejudiced Spanish audience can indulge in movies and laugh off those gentle taunts. (Netease Entertainment Review)
