Le Dernier Wagon

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.

Heart Felt Feel good movie intrinsically directed, casted ,presented, summarized in one and half hour. The Knowledge base, poverty, goodness where it starts, how it overtakes your life in childhood , how it can make and break you, a community living which can absorb or dissolve you, the Teaching profession which can only give, share, enlighten, put you on a track from the start till the end. If you have lived a similar life of struggle, if you gone through migrations, village to towns, if you have lived a life of poverty, hard work at the same time contributed to the imaginary interest of the State, you will like this heartfelt movie...Nice...Watch.

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.

It's much more than a cute film, about a simple childhood and the importance of friends, it portrays a harsh capitalist reality (a necessary evil)... Education sets you free, teaching is an act of passion, teachers should be overrated, we, workers we are replaceable... So beautiful and so sad, it moves us and leaves our hearts tight, in the same proportion that it leaves our hearts warm... A beautiful film with a passionate ending, I cried a lot...

At a school in rural Mexico, teacher Georgina is determined to make a difference in the lives of the bright young students she educates in a classroom converted from a train car.

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.
