Mucho Mucho Amor: The Legend of Walter Mercado

Walter is an icon in Puerto Rico, but I didn't grow up there so he was just a distant name to me while growing up. However, I gave this film a chance, and was moved by the simplicity of his message, and how intertwined he was in puerto rican life... Very entertaining and moving documentary, total surprise

I use to see Walter Mercado on Univision television and on television during my visits to Puerto Rico. As a person of Puerto Rican ancestry born in New York City and living in Washington, D.C., seeing Walter Mercado on television was both fascinating and funny. I enjoyed watching the documentary of his life on Netflix because I learn things that I never knew about Walter Mercado. Even today when I am joking with my Puerto Rican, Afro Cuban, and Dominican friends, I always say Mucho Mucho Amor and we all breakout with laughter. This was Walter's trademark saying on Spanish television. RIP, Walter; Dios te bendiga.

I am a millennial born in the early eighties and I am also a Latin woman, so of course I know who Walter Mercado is, however I am not a spiritual person, and personally I never was a fan of him, but I saw this because I was bore. So it was a surprised that I felt so connected with this documentary, it was really nostalgic and I felt I understood him, he obviously was a really sensitive human being. Some people might think he was messing with people, but I don't think so, I believe he really wanted to spread love and positivism and I think he was a happy person that lived the live he wanted. I don't care about his sexuality but what I like the most about him, was his flamboyance, because it was so weird in the 90s to be different, and as his mother said to him, being different is good. So to the haters, that are saying that is terrible to do a documentary about someone who cheated people, please look for happiness and find love and positivism :)

This documentary was beautifully done. Great insight into this personality who was a wonderful loving human being.

I grew up seeing this fabulous icon on the television regularly, whether it was at my mom's, my abuelita's, or my tia's - all Hispanic children knew who he was. This documentary flawlessly depicted the loving, radiant, positive person that Walter Mercado was. May his legacy and philosophy continue on for ages.
