Lagunilla, mi barrio (1981)
An a must to see of urban and modern Mexican culture
At the end this movie is just a simple Romantic Comedy. The story involves two mature adults, which are alone and require having a mate to pass what rest of their life. This movie is a must to see because contains historical and cultural values about the modern Mexican society. The movie story tries to reflect the differences among Mexican social classes and how the rich and poor people behave and live, especially the people in Mexico City.
This film it is not recommend for those whom don't understand modern Mexican culture and Mexico City Slang. Otherwise, watch this movie as it, could generate cultural misunderstandings.
It is a collectors pick because it is an item very difficult to find.
The Day After Tomorrow (2004)
Not a documentary, It's a movie, please!!
Yes, there are gaps, holes and lack of force in the supporting actors. I think the problem with this movie is trying to link trivial human stories with a mayor and large scale world catastrophe. But even so, for me this is not a "just for fun movie"; I saw many European movies with worst production, poor photography and with very bad and confusing endings than this movie. This is not a documentary so expect serious technical data is a mistake; it is just a movie of 123 minutes....To me there is a reflection inside this, we all are experiencing on daily basis changes in our local weather and also in the world climate as many scientists could say. Nobody knows exactly what is happening out there, if it is just a large scale cycle or just a season of adjustment. But there is enough information to rethink our life style and to change this imposed system of life, to make an effort to low the issue of hibernation gases...To me it is a good enough movie to see and to try to think at the bottom-line theme.
