Where the Tracks End

Own of the most impressive Mexican movies I see this year.

First to note that the movie has a different original title called el ulitimo vagon or the last wagon that is used also in Greece This is the story of a young boy called Ikal with a nomad family moving from city to another city as required by the bosses of his step-father who works in a railway road constructing company Due to these conditions he is quite unable as a young student to learn the school lessons as he still does not know on how to read.

The story goes continuously forth and back in time showing him as school inspector while the remain shows his activities in the school and his life with his mates. The teacher helped him to learn and also behaved as his second mom.

The movie is very nice as also the rural places It reminds my very long ago childish time. It is not so shallow as anyone can think it shows the best of not only the boy also the remain characters and the value of having friends Carlo Isaac the actors name s not shown in the first rank of the movies web page

9/10 It's a nice experience watching this movie.

A quite beautiful excerpt from the hard life of Mexican children living in a small town on the frontier ("where the tracks end").

Where they made long-lasting memories, friends and received some very necessary education.. by a wonderful teacher that wanted nothing but the best for her students (seemingly the core of the movie).

As per my understanding, the novel this was adapted from delves into the story in a different manner.. with the "brilliant inspector" Hugo Valenzuela having a more central role in the narrative. A change that might provide more depth into this character, for those interested in getting something more from the source material. As presented, this movie is a very well executed story that is as good as it could hope to be, for what is trying to say. With good cinematography, a great cast and some heartfelt moments.

I really enjoyed watching this movie it's filled with what could be real facts which is what makes it sad, what I liked the most of it was how they managed to focus in the good things in the life of a child who was fortunate to have good guidance from his parents and teacher, and I say fortunate because as we see in the movie not all kids had even that. It's sad to think that this happens in real life but I am glad this story made into a platform like Netflix where many people in this world can see it and get a grasp of what life is in different parts of the world and feel inspired to do good, this movie made me realize that what matters is what you give and the good things you leave in peoples hearts, that's what really matters and not material things.

This film portrayes life in a simple, realistic and moving way.

It is a beautiful story about the importance of teaching, and it develops without oversensitive tricks.

It might seem simple but it is this simplicity which makes it realistic and captivating.

In the movie there are deaths and difficulties which are part of real life, and it shows how characters adapt and deal with life without heroic events.

What is heroic is, as Mrs. Georgina says, "life a good life", and I ended up crying at the end, with some characters leading a good life, others dying too young, and others having the courage to change and do something meaningful.

Highly recommeded, specially if you can see it in the original Spanish version.

It's a beautiful story about the kid's world, their struggling parents, heavenly childhood, importance of friends, the harsh realities of a makeshift railroad community, and it develops without any hype. Wonderful soulful movie, very worth to watch and think.

This movie reminds me of one of my favorite movie 'Stand by Me'. One of the most impressive Mexican movies I've ever seen.

Their childhood adventure reminds me my childhood, soulful school friends, school bunk, and many other things. This movie also clear my vision and take life easily. All is well.

Thank you Netflix for this amazing movie.
