Where the Tracks end

Wonderful soulful movie, very worth to watch and think. This movie helps you to think about the events happen around you. The Director ( Ernesto Contreras) chose the dialogue carefully, I think this movie is a success because of such director.

Kid's World , How kids see the world around themselves/ How is the reality around kids ? Rich or Poor kids , they have their own ways to see the world. Rich or Poor kids believe in Magic , They want to reach their own dreams with Magic . Could dreams became Reality (Teacher gave. Jules Verne book to boy )? And Life goes on (The train will leave the station to the next station). You cannot change Past but you can build your Future.

This film portrayes life in a simple, realistic and moving way.

It is a beautiful story about the importance of teaching, and it develops without oversensitive tricks.

It might seem simple but it is this simplicity which makes it realistic and captivating.

In the movie there are deaths and difficulties which are part of real life, and it shows how characters adapt and deal with life without heroic events.

What is heroic is, as Mrs. Georgina says, "life a good life", and I ended up crying at the end, with some characters leading a good life, others dying too young, and others having the courage to change and do something meaningful.

Highly recommeded, specially if you can see it in the original Spanish version.

A quite beautiful excerpt from the hard life of Mexican children living in a small town on the frontier ("where the tracks end").

Where they made long-lasting memories, friends and received some very necessary education.. by a wonderful teacher that wanted nothing but the best for her students (seemingly the core of the movie).

As per my understanding, the novel this was adapted from delves into the story in a different manner.. with the "brilliant inspector" Hugo Valenzuela having a more central role in the narrative. A change that might provide more depth into this character, for those interested in getting something more from the source material. As presented, this movie is a very well executed story that is as good as it could hope to be, for what is trying to say. With good cinematography, a great cast and some heartfelt moments.

A simple tale- of kids, their struggling parents, a sincere teacher, and of the harsh realities of a make shift rail-road community. The story is close to life and brings out the best in the characters, despite poverty and inequities of rural life. It captures the wonder and the joy of growing up with friends. Ikal, the child, is brought back to the school as if by fate, where he had all this amazing time; The school needs him. He also meets his childhood love - and effortlessly slips into his new role as a teacher - something he always wanted to do- inspired by his late teacher Ms Georgina.

The unique thing about the movie is- it captures childhood without any hype. It makes no contrived effort to lead the story to a good end. Above all, it inspires the viewer to see GOOD in people and circumstances.

Inspiring Movie.

I really enjoyed watching this movie it's filled with what could be real facts which is what makes it sad, what I liked the most of it was how they managed to focus in the good things in the life of a child who was fortunate to have good guidance from his parents and teacher, and I say fortunate because as we see in the movie not all kids had even that. It's sad to think that this happens in real life but I am glad this story made into a platform like Netflix where many people in this world can see it and get a grasp of what life is in different parts of the world and feel inspired to do good, this movie made me realize that what matters is what you give and the good things you leave in peoples hearts, that's what really matters and not material things.
