REVIEW DEDICATED TO THE MILLIONS WHO HAVE BEEN "DISAPPEARED"!
FIRST... Let us FOCUS on the Title´s content and context:
(NAMELESS in English) SIN NOMBRE is a movie about people you know. They cook your food, bus your table, and wash your dishes every time you eat at a restaurant. When you go on vacation; they make your bed, change your sheets and clean up your mess!!!
They probably cut your grass and tend your garden, too...and Lord knows what else! Oh, Yes, these are ALL people you know, but don't see. They were invisible, NAMELESS...until SIN NOMBRE!
One of the most powerful, enlightening, depressing, and yet, strangely uplifting films I've seen in recent years!
As NAMELESS ended, I was anxious to see who the executive producers were. I now have newfound respect and admiration for both Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal (Worked together in "Y Tu Mama Tambien" and "Rudo y Cursi"). They were the movers and shakers of SIN NOMBRE. They bank-rolled it and made it happen. And it was about time! This is a story that was crying out to be told!
....Well, two stories, actually. Mara Salvatrucha is a gang/criminal organization with 100K members throughout the U. S. and Central America (Wikipedia). Human smuggling and trafficking is one of their primary sources of income. Here, we get a chilling, first-hand look into this international gangland organization and how they corrupt, destroy and exploit children and youth.
NAMELESS presents this twisted reality and lets the facts speak for themselves! You get to draw your own conclusions. Mine: Aren't we lucky we don't have to go through any of this B. S. to live here, in the Good OLE USA?
10********** ENJOY! / DISFRUTELA!
