      One important song in the movie is "Distante Instante" (Distant Instant) composed and performed by Rodrigo Gonzalez better known as Rockdrigo, a very influential and cult-rock composer. Pioneer of a contracultural movement named "Movimiento Rupestre" that influenced a lot of the future Mexican rock scene.

    7/10 Faithful adaption
    Firstly the reviewers "carla santisteven 89" and "Madailama" are the same person and it is not cool to severely downvote a film twice with sock puppetry. More on that at the bottom of my review.

    The vast consensus of the social science tells us Mexican women strongly prefer Anglo men for both short and long term relationships. And more educated the woman, even more so. That is the overwhelming data. The peer reviewed work also shows that Mexicans in general prefer Anglo American culture and have a deep inferiority complex about their own culture.

    This was the underlying metaphor in Jose Agustin's book. Agustin also touched a nerve because it is not really a machismo of strength that is the lead characters problem, but a machismo born of weakness.

    I think this film has a few flaws, mainly from the difficulty of adapting the source material. But overall it is both a good adaption, and effective as stand alone film.

    I think this is why our "two" Mexican reviewers gave this a bad rating. It touched a nerve. The novel itself is a critique of Latin Americans in the US. Perhaps the two Mexican reviewers did understand the novel, or avail themselves of what Agustin himself has said he was getting at.

    I put the "two" in quotes there, because they read very similar when I ran it through our schools plagiarism detector it gave me 99% those two reviewers are the same person.
