Watch: La lengua de las mariposas 1999 123movies, Full Movie Online – For Moncho, it’s an idyllic year: he starts school, he has a wonderful teacher, he makes a friend in Roque, he begins to figure out some of the mysteries of Eros, and, with his older brother, a budding saxophone player, he makes a trip with the band from their town in Galicia. But it’s also the year that the Spanish Republic comes under fire from Fascist rebels. Moncho’s father is a Republican as is the aging teacher, Don Gregorio. As sides are drawn and power falls clearly to one side, the forces of fear, violence, and betrayal alter profoundly what should be the pleasure of coming of age..
Plot: The film centres on Moncho and his coming-of-age experience in Galicia in 1936. Moncho develops a close relationship with his teacher Don Gregorio who introduces the boy to different things in the world. While the story centres on Moncho’s ordinary coming-of-age experiences, tensions related to the looming Spanish Civil War periodically interrupt Moncho’s personal growth and daily life.

Sweepingly Beautiful and Poignant
This was a film that really tugged at the heart strings. I really enjoyed the building of characters and the way the lives of the village were portrayed. It was a difficult time politically, yet the simplicity of daily life and family in Galicia was the over-riding story here. The acting is second to none and Manuel Lozano was unbelievably fantastic! I mean these ridiculous “affected” children they get for American movies (i.e. the “Pepsi” girl) are so unbelievable and fake. Manuel is so realistic as Moncho. So are the other actors.

I don’t necessarily agree with the way that Cuerda rushed the ending, but I certainly wouldn’t want to take away any time in portraying the lives of everyone involved. Maybe he should have made it a little longer as not to rush the ending. Although I will say that one of my favorite things about foreign films is that they are so NOT “Hollywood” that you never really know what to expect. Unlike the trite, unbelievable, over-acted, high budget American films and their overpaid actors which usually just leave a bad taste when I exit from the theatre.

This is an historical piece that absolutely shames “the Patriot”. It’s so nice to see that a movie doesn’t have to change history to show us the past and entertain us at the same time!

Beautifully filmed and poignantly bittersweet drama
A magnificent story about the personal choices that have to be made by people caught up in intolerant times. A shy young boy is brought out of his cocoon by a wise teacher who shows him the wonder of the natural world around him, amidst the growing tensions and chaos of the Spanish Civil War. This is one of those movies whose ending leaves audience members rooted to their seats, stunned into silence. With beautiful photography and glorious classic Spanish (with clear subtitles), this is a movie not to be missed.
