CineTV Contest: Beaches (1988)
Friendship is not always rosy all the time, in fact strong friendships are those that are capable of going through adversity and moving forward, human beings are not perfect so we will always make mistakes, but when a friendship is sincere can be an unbreakable bond, when I think of a movie about friends, “Beaches” from 1988 immediately comes to mind, starring Bette Midler in the role of C.C. Bloom and by Bárbara Hershey in the role of Hillary Whitney, these friends, so different in personality and social environment, establish a friendship for 30 years and where they obviously had ups and downs but the love of friends always triumphed.
Eternamente amigas/ Beaches (1988)
Ellas se conocen cuando eran niñas en una playa turística, C.C. tiene dotes para el baile y el canto así que es una niña que busca siempre demostrar su talento teniendo una personalidad extrovertida y ella viene de un entorno social un poco difícil, en cambio Hillary es todo lo contrario, ella es proviene de un entrono adinerado y es muy calmada y hasta tímida. Ellas se hacen amigas por correspondencia y cuando son adultas se van a vivir juntas, C.C. trata de hacer un a carrera musical pero es difícil, mientras que Hillary ya se ha graduado de abogado, esta amistad sufre algunos problemas por un hombre en la ecuación, además de sentimientos que aún entre amigas no se han considerado, ambas sienten celos mutuamente la una de la otra, mientras Hillary desearía ser tan talentosa y extrovertida como C.C. , esta le gustaría ser tan agraciada físicamente con Hillary, ellas incluso se alejan un tiempo, pero la amistad sobrevive.
They meet when they were girls on a tourist beach, C.C. She has skills in dancing and singing so she is a girl who always seeks to demonstrate her talent by having an outgoing personality and she comes from a somewhat difficult social environment, on the other hand Hillary is the complete opposite, she comes from a wealthy background and She is very calm and even shy. They become friends through correspondence and when they are adults they go to live together, C.C. She tries to pursue a musical career but it is difficult, while Hillary has already graduated as a lawyer, this friendship suffers some problems due to a man in the equation, in addition to feelings that have not yet been considered between friends, both feel jealous of each other's from each other, while Hillary wishes she were as talented and outgoing as C.C. , this she would like to be as physically attractive as Hillary, they even distance themselves for a while, but the friendship survives.
Here I must make a spoiler alert because I cannot talk about the significance of the film without telling the outcome, because it turns out that when everything seemed to be going relatively well and they were both married, they divorce, but in addition to that Hillary has a daughter, Hillary sick and immediately C.C. comes to be her support, they spend time at the beach house until one day Hillary dies, leaving her best friend in charge of custody of her daughter, there are many more details regarding this, but what seems important to me To emphasize is the trust that the friends felt in each other, a trust so genuine and a love so pure that only together were they able to face the disease that had no cure, Hillary, despite the fact that at first she feels jealous that C.C. has become best friends with her little daughter, she knows that she could only entrust her little daughter to her best friend C.C.
For me, friends are the family we choose, they are people who, without having a blood relationship, love us and share our lives honestly and selflessly, the person who has a true friend has a treasure, as a mother I perfectly understand the meaning of the movie, a best friend does not have to be the same as me, she can be different in terms of tastes or personality, but if she shares my values then I will love her very much and I will fully trust this person even to take care of my son I understand very well why Hillary decided to leave her daughter with her best friend. She knew that she could die in peace knowing that her daughter would be well by C.C.'s side and that is something very important and obviously moves many feelings.
