Feelings:
The first time I heard of this movie it was one of those that I remember their being tons of hype about. The only other film I remember everyone around me talking about when I was a little kid was Titanic. I remember seeing Titanic when I was like 4-5 years old. My parents rented that double cassette boxset ha.
This was another one like that I remember my uncle’s and my parents talking about it. This and Amores Perros were brought up constantly when I was a kid. I was like 6 years old when my parents saw this. They didn’t let me watch, but they let me watch Halloween, Scream and all those other horror films.
Violence is fine, but sex is off limits!
My feelings about this film are that this is the closest that we will get to On The Road in a film version. Even though there isn’t much debauchery in regards to drugs and irresponsibility. Kerouac insists On The Road is about a spirtual journey I don’t see it in that, but I see it in this. I never saw much of Luisa maybe because she was older when this released. Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal are still reaping the benefits from their finest film to date.
My Favorite Scene:
It would definitely be the sex scenes. This in my opinion is the sexiest movie of all time and not in the Blue is the Warmest Color type of way. This film oozes sexuality and it has a color palette similar to something Wong Kar Was would work with. I recently had a chance to see Love in the Afternoon that is also up for consideration of sexiest movie.
My Favorite Character:
Luisa is my favorite character in this film she has let go of bounds and completely focused on her fulfillment as a person. The boys are still struggling and are completely motivated by sex.
