I believe that Alicia will have no choice but ti reconcile her thoughts in regards to her daughter and where she came from. Throughout the movie I could clearly see how the situation just ate away at Alicia. Ever since her friend brought it up that one night it seemed to be the only thing running through her mind. The fact that she could have taken a child from a mother who did not want to give up her child was not something Alicia could deal with. Everyone else just wanted Alicia to leave the past alone and appreciate the fact that she had a child. At some point Alicia will have to learn some way to deal with the facts about Gaby. If she does not it will clearly consume her and destroy every relationship she has. The movie showed how the situation destroyed Alicia's relationship with her husband but on the other hand, it allowed her to reach common ground with her High school students. This would be a terrible/horrible situation to be in. I could see how Alicia was torn when it came to wanting to let Gabby's possible Grandmother into her life but at the same time did not want that past to become part of her present/future. The situation is very complex and most likely would take Alicia a long time to smooth out.

I agree with you in saying that Alicia was destroyed when finding out about her daughter and the sad possibilites of her past. Do you think they should have let us seen what ended up happening? Was that really her grandmother? Did Alicia and her husband stay together?
ReplyDeleteI agree with you But Alicia couldn't see what was going on with her own husband. How could she not see he was involved in the communist or socilalist movement..I feel they probably parted ways. With the picture she saw and the papers the woman had,she most probably was the grandmother.
