El Orfanato

I watched "El Orfanato" recently. This movie was marketed in the US as "The Orphanage". It is about a family that lives in a house that used to be an orphanage. The wife (played by Belen Rueda) used to come to the same orphanage. The parents think that their son may be seeing ghosts since he is very sick. One day he vanishes and the movie tells the story of the mother's quest for the connection between the orphanage's history and his disappearance.
I noticed that the spanish from spain is slightly different from the spanish of mexico (or that from my family). This movie being made in spain, has a more annunciated form of spanish than what I am used to. This reminded me that while many countries have spanish speaking people, there are many ways for the spanish language to be spoken.
