Loving Pablo, movie


Loving Pablo, movie 

Loving Pablo, hating Escobar: New biographical drama about one of the largest drug barons has recently appeared on screens of Polish cinemas. The history of Pablo Escobar has long been a significant component of pop culture. 

In the movie we will see Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem. Despite the good cast, the movie unfortunately saddened me. The film brings nothing new to a known biography. I had high hopes for the creators, believing that they would develop less-known threds or present  Escobar's history from a whole new point of view. This matter brought me nothing but disappointment. I also believe that the movie lost its charm and climate by introducing English dialogues.

The story of the relationship between the most powerful drug baron, Pablo Escobar and a Colombian anchorman, Virginia Valejo. Virginia Vallejo tells about Pablo Escobar in the book "Loving Pablo, Hating Escobar", on the basis of which Fernando León de Aranoa created the film. The TV star and Colombian drug baron got connected by an affair that lasted for few years. The journalist explains to the audience what the career and private life of the king of cocaine looked like.
