I disagree

I would like to comment on Felipe's opinion about this movie. He says that in Mexico (also my country) the poor people are not as poor as shown in the movie... well, I disagree. In Mexico you can find people even poorer without even shacks falling into pieces, homeless living in the streets, under bridges. He also says the riches are not that rich, and I can't conceive he states that. There are some really wealthy families living in El Pedregal, Santa Fe, Las Lomas; and some politician families are, without any doubt, as rich as they want. And I won't even argue the third state about politicians being THAT corrupt, because statistics talk for themselves and Mexico is shown as the 6° most corrupt country in LA and the 64° in the World (according to the Corruption Perception Index of year 2004).And yes, the movie is barely OK, but Mexican cinema industry is getting better. And this movie is finally depicting the general situation in Mexico in a funny way, not like other really bad, sad movies. I recommend everyone to see the movie, enjoy it, and definitely, like Felipe says, don't think that's the situation in all the country, although it is in some parts. Watch the movie, and think it is telling just another story that could happen anywhere.

Leftist?

With regard to the comment entitled "Political propaganda by leftist artists" I'd like to point some things out. I saw this movie when it came out a few months ago in Mexico, where I had been studying all year. Like one of Estrada's first movies (La ley de Herodes), this one is also a severe political critique that attacks both the former PRI government (supposedly left wing) and the current PAN government (supposedly right wing). I think it should be noted, however, that while Fox's victory 6 years ago marked a BIG step towards political progress for Mexico, overall Mexicans are disappointed in the administration and the lack of significant changes that followed Fox's entrance into the office (not all entirely his fault, of course, given the left over PRI population that still has power in the government). And even though the PAN politicians might have cleaner hands than former PRI politicians, I don't think that the majority of the people in Mexico really distinguish between them that way. That is to say, I really think they just assume that all politicians, regardless of their party, are stealing money. Everyone I talked to while I was down there said they didn't have the slightest idea who they were going to vote for because all of the candidates were unappealing and untrustworthy, and it was all going to come down to the question, "Who's the lesser evil?"So this leftist propaganda seems unlikely to me since López Obrador would be included in that category; even more so since he was originally a member of the PRI, and the PRD (his current party) is really just considered PRI #2, composed of unhappy PRI members who weren't being chosen for the positions they wanted. So, to sum all that up, the movie is critiquing Mexican politics in general and no party or politician is free from scrutiny here. And finally, it's worth a rental if for no other reason than Damian Alcazar is absolutely wonderful!
