Trivia
UNESCO has launched the Memory of the World Programme to prevent collective amnesia calling upon the preservation of the valuable archive holdings and library collections all over the world and ensuring their wide dissemination. This film and Fritz Lang's Metropolis were the first two movies (and in 2004, the only ones) recognized in this special way. See more »Quotes
Pedro: [addressing his mother, just before she leaves him at the Farm School] Just now you remember that I'm your son.See more »
Great film by Luis Buñuel. The misery of the Mexican slums is perfectly illustrated. The old black & white picture depicts even more the tragedy of the story.
Great lines too. When the kid is pushing the carousel used by the rich, he needs some rest but: "You'll rest when you die". And this one from the director of the reform school: "If we could lock up misery forever" (instead of the kids).
Another thing to say about this movie: the actors are not actors. What I mean is these are people who haven't been to film school. There not acting, there telling us what it is to live their daily life.
Seen at home, in Toronto, on June 29th, 2002.
