Huracán Ramírez vs. La Piñata Enchilada

Mexico is a very surreal place, so much so that the ultimate cultural celebration is represented in the wrestling ring, good against evil, where all races, women, the LGBT community, dwarves, and masked individuals come together to throw a party that the people eagerly await every Sunday.

Also and of course we had lucha libre movies... el Santo had communications technology even before agent 007, Blue Demon, Tinieblas, among others legends like Huracan Ramirez all are cultural icons and this film is truly a tribute to a legend.

In Mexico we didnt grew up with comic characters, our heroes were wrestling every sunday!

Let's begin with the theme: Lucha Libre. Mexico just can't get over with subjects like, love triangles, cartel wars and Lucha Libre.

There's no doubt this short film is nicely done. You can see the budget everywhere but it doesn't feel genuine. The coloring, the camera movements and even the story (filled with holes) feels like watching a YouTube ad.

The camera storytelling is reduced into a series of "cool" transitions that have nothing to do with the actual plot.

Mexico (or the "Mexico Theme") still struggles to find colour identity. This vintage Kodak-like film look is not making it at all. This is not what Mexico looks like. It's just like the infamous yellow filter. I blame Jean-Pierre Jeunet's Amelie and Wes Craven and his entire filmography for this terrible trend (that works with what THEY do)

Mostly tasteful VFX.

Nice try but something is missing.
