There is a lot of trash being labeled as entertainment nowadays. It seems like movies have to have more violence and more sex to keep people coming to see them. What I find to be especially disturbing is how horror films have to keep going deeper into the satanic world to give people a thrill. Every now and then, a movie comes out that returns our faith in humanity. And in September, that movie will be “Bella”. Every person of good will must see this movie (and every movie like it) if we want to send a clear message to the entertainment industry that what sells is what is good and true, not what is cheap and degrading.
The movie stars the Mexican acting sensation Eduardo Verastegui, who has a wonderful conversion story. At 17 he left his home village of Xicotencatl, Tamaulipas for Mexico City to become a lawyer. While he was in the big city he got involved in modeling and eventually acting. He started living the typical celebrity life with the desire for more wealth, women, fame, and power. But of course, he wasn’t happy. He was setting his sites on Hollywood, when his English teacher started asking him questions that led to his conversion. After discerning that the priesthood was not his vocation, he continued his acting career in Los Angeles, and providence has allowed him to meet the right people for “Bella” to be made.
In the movie, a single waitress played by Tammy Blanchard finds out right before going to work that she’s pregnant. Then, at work, she gets another shock and it looks like her life is falling apart. Suddenly, the chef of the restaurant, played by Eduardo Verastegui comes to her rescue and the adventure begins. After having worked for him day in and day out, she finds out who this man really is.
“Bella” is set to be one of the most impressive pro-life movies ever made. It has won numerous awards and is being promoted by pro-life groups such as Heartbeat International, “Celebrate Life” magazine, and others. This movie is also said to transcend all expectations. It has opened in Texas and is scheduled for national release September 15th. Please help promote this film.
