Los ilegales (2007)
Mexico NEEDS TO RECOGNIZE Mexican TALENT
Finally I got a chance to watch this project. And even when this production of "Los ilegales" was very brief, Varela did a great job to cover the illegal immigration issue, in a so over exploit subject, this one stands out and makes a point.
Its hard to define what kind of genre it is, I research the internet before posting this comment and I find out that not only its a musical short film documentary, but some critics said its also an experimental music video clip documentary, who knows, but its great.
I also read that they just won an award in Europe and it just came to my mind the well known lack of support from their own country. Mexico NEEDS to recognize the talent of their own people. Why Mexicans they always get support, recognition and win awards abroad, and Mexico, is always the last one to recognize them? I guess for the same reason, they just lost the famous marathon world championship: "Ana Guevara" this year, she finally decided to retire after a long hard way of winning gold medals.
"LOS ILEGALES", Its a MUST SEE, in my opinion, thanks.
Amores perros (2000)
Amores perros is a cinema LANDMARK.
AMORES PERROS, is one of the best movies ever made. Just like Robert Rodriguez said once, lack of budget but lots of creativity. Same with "los ilegales", even when this one its not a feature to compare against Amores Perros, the first one remind me the other. Their CONTRAST between good and bad, black and white, dirt and clean, RICH and POOR, immigrant or not immigrant, human or animal seems to be not from this earth. They have just push Mexico momentarily upward in the cinema rat race, but Hollywood its always the lead and Amores perros is and will be a cinema LANDMARK.
It doesn't matter where you from or what culture you belong too, Amores Perros will root into your inside. Will make you feel, taste and experience a loaned life, where we are all in.
