El Abuelo

A beautifully crafted film. The technical shots were wonderful and the action scenes were astounding. The acting from Jonah was astounding, I had never imagined I could feel so many feels from a single ankle twist. I could see the pain in his eyes and the sound effect of the ankle snapping in half seem too real to be true. I cannot fathom the amount of time and effort that went into that single scene. In all honesty, that one scene showed more life for me than all of my life has. Granted, I am still but a child, but that single scene showed me the pain of childhood. The incredible allusion to Paradise lost, with the symbolism of the fall leading to the derailment of his life, lead me to formulate an entirely new religion of it's own. That single scene marks a new era, dwarfing previously known movies and novels such as Frankenstein and Cinema Paradisio.

Everything else sucked.
