For years I have been a fan of national cinema, from the first films of Pedro Infante, to the most boring films that have existed in national cinema, which means that they never leave me feeling or wanting to see something interesting. I think these kinds of films were a waste of resources, specifically of time. They don't offer anything new or flashy, it's a kind of comedy that always uses the same local jokes or that few will understand outside the country and that usually tend to have a repetitive type of plot. It is by far the worst film of Mexican actor Julio Aldama and some of the members who participated in it.
"The Mad Monk" is a film that, as its title indicates, talks about a monk and his disorders, but when the name of the first actor Julio Aldama appears, we think that it will be one of those classics that made us fall in love with national cinema for its scripts and its excellent performances, however we are totally wrong if we contemplate these details.
The film is approximately 75 minutes long, was shot in the preferred home video format and usually repeats many scenes or clichés of scenes (such as the one with the church organ) that I think could have had more merit of their own. I feel like a lot of times music and bad acting don't help the movie go in an interesting direction.
I do recommend watching the film if you are bored, or in the best case if you have nothing to do, because it is part of the history of national cinema and I think that at least it deserves to be seen by someone else and that everyone can draw their own conclusions.
