Mucho Mucho Amor: The Legend of Walter Mercado

Growing up as an Anglo woman in South Carolina, Walter was not a household name for me. But I was intrigued by his story and watched this documentary with my mom! Neither of us had any expectations and both truly enjoyed this film! Very well done and highly intriguing.

What a wonderful way to honor the legacy of such an iconic character who seemed to truly love life. I highly recommend this documentary!

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 :)

I had never heard of him but love his sweet heart and kindness! I kept waiting for when he was abducted or something! He wasn't, he is awesome and had a great life with some bad things along the way. Worth watching for sure!!

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 knew nothing of this man but feel richer for learning about his life.
