'Bella' receives critical acclaim while literally saving lives

Image
Movies often are judged on their entertainment value, but one particular low-budget film gaining steam in theaters is being judged on something else –- the number of lives it has saved. It's a bold claim, but one that "Bella" -- a pro-life movie that surprised film observers by winning the 2006 Toronto International Film Festival's People's Choice Award –- apparently can support. "It's been amazing," lead actor Eduardo Verastegui told an audience in Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 17. "We've received so many e-mails and letters from young ladies who just days before were scheduled to have an appointment to have an abortion and after they saw 'Bella' they kept their baby." Click here for the full story I thank God for this film and the transformation it has made in the lives of so many. It is truly the Gospel of Life in action.

Living La Vida Bella on Oct. 26

He’s known as the “Brad Pitt of Mexico.” But after the crucial Oct. 26 opening weekend of his new movie, Eduardo Verástegui may be regarded as Mexico’s “Jim Caviezel.” He’s an actor as excited about his faith as his acting. Once a notorious playboy, the singer, actor, model and film producer experienced a powerful reversion to his Catholic faith four years ago. In the process, he gave up his fame and fortune to pursue film projects that glorify God. The first of those is Bella. The film won the prestigious People’s Choice Award at the Toronto Film Festival last fall. Bella will be out in theaters Oct. 26 (to find out where, visit BellatheMovie.com ). Register correspondent Patrick Novecosky sat down with Verástegui after a pre-release screening in Naples, Fla.

Movie Review: Bella

Have you ever watched a movie that makes you laugh, and cry, that nearly breaks your heart, and then melts it? This is Bella , a film filled with complex emotion and turmoil, but also with much joy and finally, peace. Bella is the story of a waitress (Tammy Blanchard) employed at a posh family restaurant in New York who learns that she is pregnant and how her life is changed by the cook (Eduardo Verástegui) who wants so much to help her and to heal his own inner turmoil at the same time.

This is a film with power behind it and that power is the truth, the gift of love, and respect for human life. You'll love the music and ladies, it will be hard to keep your eyes off the star of this film (Eduardo Verástegui). Not only is he an attractive and extremely com...
