Many people around the world watch soap-operas. In some countries such as Brazil the soaps run six days a week and last about six months maximum. The country literally stops when they are aired. Unlike the States where they air during the afternoon, in Brazil they aired at night in prime time. The 8'clock soap is watched by millions. Those "Tele-novelas" have a tremendous impact on peoples lives. People tend to copy trends from those much watched and loved television novelas, such as hair cuts and hair styles. They quote lines of the soaps, and it is like a soccer game, if the favorite team losses productivity in the work place goes down the next day.
From that perspective I believe that Nurse Betty has an international flavor to it. And no wonder that the Renée Zellweger (Bridget Jones's Diary) won a Golden Globe award from playing Betty Sizemore. She is a very good actress. The members of the foreign press probably could see that this could be a true fantasy story as far as other countries go. I don't think that people fantasize have to necessarily have a pos-traumatic disorder to really believe that they are the heroes and heroines. To be sure, not to the extent that Nurse Betty was fantasizing. I think that many people live their lives though soaps because they don't have a life.
This movie is fun and interesting, the plot is fresh and we enjoyed it very much. I recommend this film!
