Histoire
Commentaire à la une
Let's start speaking about the actors, the more interesting part, all of them have a really good background and when I saw the characters I was pushed to see this movie.
There are some interesting points that the movie tries to touch, among them the corruption and the unequal social classes in Mexico. I was quite impressed at the beginning with a sort of futuristic idea about virtual entertainment, think that actually I liked.
A scene that particularly I remember was when Enrique Laguardia (Fernando Luján) is kept by his kidnappers, and they showed him the reality of the countryside in Mexico, with no basic services, i.e. electricity. That thing is actually true (40% of Mexicans live below the poverty line) unfortunately the movie does not go deeply on it.
Speaking about hilarious scenes I smiled when the kidnapper fake his voice mimicked a classic Mexican show-maker, that thing actually remind me a staying during my childhood in Mexico. Also is important to say the performance of Maria Isasi (Rita) on some musical parts.
I saw this movie in a Latin American Festival Film in Germany. Unfortunately the movie was shown with other movies, among them the superb Chilean film Machuca and the Peruvian Dias de Santiago.
I said unfortunately because there were movies that touched direct and clearly the reality of Latin-America, pointing out to whom the blame belongs to. People that attended that Festival did it because they wanted to know more about what is happening in that part of the world.
As I said, the starting was quite impress, however, when the plot went on and the "hilarious scenes" came out, on the Theatre instead of laughers were only whispering. After the movie my friends asked me if the humor showed in that film is typical from Mexico and in general they asked me about my opinion about that movie since they were quite disappointed.
I was wondering why that movie was shown in that Festival, since there are so many others Mexican movies worth to be watched on international festivals.
In general, if you are Mexican and for any reason you do not have anything to do, instead to watch that movie read the book "Las venas abiertas de America Latina" (Eduardo H. Galeano). For non-Mexicans, if you want to know about good Mexican films that speak about the reality of Mexico then I recommend strongly "La Ley de Herodes" (Herod's law) that for any strange reason has not been shown in Germany, I do not wonder why.
