Mexican Cinema (Away From Soccer)

[dannymex]

so i think most mexicans movies are pretty bad, but lately there have been a couple movies such as Y Tu Mama Tambien, Amorres Perros, El Crimen del Padre Amaro, and others that are amazing. What do you guys think about these movies? If you know any other noteworthy movies please let me know, i really enjoyed those movies and i'm hoping to find more. Also Gael Garcia is an awesome actor, i just saw the movie the science of sleep and its awesome i didnt expect to be dissapointed since it was writen by Micheal Gondry.

Yeah they are funny and lots of stuff he says is true like "Mexican never hired a professional to do stuff in their house they just go around the neighborhood and find someone who is not working and tell them to do what ever they need" :lol:

Amorres perros was awesome, great movie. Y tu mama tambien was alright, I happen to like the gael garcia movie where he plays a fag, its an almadovar film and its very good. Other movies in spanish that I liked alot:

Pantaleon y las visitadoras, Motorcycle diaries, Tinta roja, Todo sobre mi madre, no se lo digas a nadie, La mujer de mi hermano was alright. Theres a whole bunch of other movies I dont remeber right now.

oh are you talking about mala educacion, i havent seen it yet but i heard it was really good.

[Calif]

I've seen La mujer de mi hermano, Amores Perros, Y tu mama tambien, El crimen del padre amaro, Diario de Motocicletas. They are good movies I really like them theres a couple of other good ones i've seen but can't remember them right now!!!!

[ricoo9]

oh are you talking about mala educacion, i havent seen it yet but i heard it was really good.

yea thats the one, very good movie. Ur going to be shocked with how gay it is tho...

[Calif]

Yeah Haven't seen it but I heard that its a good movie eventhought he acts gay!!!

[dannymex]

yea thats the one, very good movie. Ur going to be shocked with how gay it is tho...

hahah shit maybe i dont wanna see it then. lol j/k im down for watching all his movies hes a good actor. Science of sleep was awesome. have you seen that one?

[caruiz93]

yeah these movies that have been coming out lately from mexico are better but i hate the way they all have to be about sex drugs and violence.not because im a pussy or anything its just that i mean come on cant they come up with a good movei that does not show at least a boob and a half?

diarios de motocicleta is one of my favorite movies ever.i dont know if it is mexican or not but it is still great.

[ricoo9]

diarios de motocicleta is one of my favorite movies ever.i dont know if it is mexican or not but it is still great.

It isnt mexican. gael garcia is the only mexican in that movie and he plays an argentine. It is still a great movie tho.

[dannymex]

its just that i mean come on cant they come up with a good movei that does not show at least a boob and a half?



what exactly do you mean?

[Calif]

Has someone here seen La Habitacion Azul?

[caruiz93]

what exactly do you mean?


i mean that this past years mexican cinema has grown but all the movies they make are all sexual and violent.they should make more movies like "frida".i mean it still has a sex scene in it but its not as gruesome as the other movies.mexican producers should try to make more movies without sex in them and this way they expand their audience and more people around the world can watch them.

[Calif]

But people go to see movies with sexual content dude I think thats what everyone goes to see.

ok i see what you are saying, but the point of those movies arent ment to be family movies. And because those movies are controversial is the reason they've gotten international fame.

Yeah, its not his fault he's only 13. LOL.

The whole point of latin films, as most foreign films is to be provocative and controversial. That is the reason why they win awards and such. IMO It's become a part of latin american culture, if u read a book by a latin american author it will most likely have sex as well, like vargas llosa or gabriel garcia marquez. Its part of what makes the movies more realistic if u ask me. In anycase, those movies arent intended for little kids caruiz, and I personally wouldnt go pay to see a mexican cartoon or pg film. Amores Perros was awesome.

couldnt agree with you more. hahah mexican cartoons. (sounds like bullshit)
yeah, i really think that latin movies are the way they are now because they are interesting to watch and they attract people from different cultures. IMO we need to start making more of these movies and less of the Mario Almada bullshit that mexico has been putting out for so many years.

[Calif]

Yeah but we have to also understand that our folks grew up watching this kind of movies Mario Almada's movies and they like it they think that the movies coming out right now are gargabe to them to them the best movies are the old movies not these. To me I like this new movies coming out such like the one's mentioned at the beginning of this thread.

[Calif]

Escucharon de lo bien que los productores mexicanos estan haciendo creo estan nominados a varios Oscars por peliculas que han echo incluyendo la pelicula "Babel"

[dannymex]

yeah Babel was a pretty good movie. Theres another one thats coming out that looks really good, i forgot what its called. I think theres a movie called Mexico 68 in productions right now, its about the student massacre that happend! that should be really good.

[Calif]

Yeah que bueno por el Cine Mexicano con peliculas de Calidad!

[dannymex]

have you guys seen El Laberinto del Fauno? its was written and directed by a mexican but it all takes place in spain. Its a good movie you should check it out if you have a chance.

[mawin312]

Ive been wait for Mexico 68 for a while now. :) My two favorite Mexican actors (Diego Luna & Gael Garcia Bernal) might be in it. And directed by Cuarón...pfft! Should be one hell of a movie.

I watched the first 30 minutes of Pans Labyrinth but got bored and stopped. :lol: Ill probably watch it soon though.

[dannymex]

I'm not sure if Gael or Diego are gonna be in Mexico 68, but it should be good regardless. I'm kind of getting tired of seeing them in every single Mexican movie. Dont get me wrong i really like both of them but it just seems they are in every single movie.

Man i can't believe you didnt like Pan's Labyrinth, its such an awesome movies in my opinion.

[rojinegro13]

I really liked the cantinflas and tin-tan movies growing up, used to watch them with my pops. The Santo and Blue Demon movies to.............Las Momias de Guanajuato! lol!

[rojinegro13]

is Benicio Del Toro(director) mexican? I've heard he is but I'm not sure.

[Xizor]

Have you guys seen Diarios de Motosicletas? I don't think it's a Mexican film but it's still cool.

[mawin312]

Its pretty much Argentine with the except of Gael García Bernal. Good movie. :D

[mawin312]

is Benicio Del Toro(director) mexican? I've heard he is but I'm not sure.

Hes Puerto Rican.

[dannymex]

is Benicio Del Toro(director) mexican? I've heard he is but I'm not sure.

I think you mean Guillermo Del Toro. He is a Mexican director, he is the one that made Pan's Labyrinth. The only good movie he has made in my opinion.

[Xizor]

Its pretty much Argentine with the except of Gael García Bernal. Good movie. :D

Great movie man, we were watching it last week in my Spanish class so we can learn more on Ernesto Guevara.

[rojinegro13]

[Calif]

[dannymex]

[Calif]

[dannymex]

[Calif]

[dannymex]

my parents are from the state of Puebla and i've been there a couple times, i saw a lot of hot girls there also...

[mawin312]
