American film makers should learn from this movie. They should learn from Alfonso Cuaron, the writer and direct
or; Emmanuel Lubezki, the cinematographer; and Diego Luna, Gael Garcia and Maribel Verdu, the actors. All film makers should take a lesson or two from this film.
Actually, not only film makers should learn from Y Tu Mama Tambien. Include the writers, actors, audience, critiques, kids, everybody. Everybody can learn a few things about life with this Mexican movie.
Why am I so hyped up about this movie? It's because this movie showed me the
truth about sex, lies, hurt, friendship, and love. All the essentials of the human life are expressed in this movie.
What's great about this movie is that it doesn't make you judge. There are movies which show you the bad side of a terrorists and make you say to yourself that it is wrong. Then there are movies full of butterflies and fairies and makes you say to yourself that it is good. But we don't really know if there are bad fairies or if there are good terrorists. This movie just shows its story as it is. This movie lets you decide. It does not approve and it does not condone. It simply tells the story.
Promiscuous sex is abound, smoking marijuana, too. I have never watched a movie with a feel of such reality. I have never watched a movie where the feel of sexual activity is so real, except on pornography. It can satisfy your voyeuristic needs, plus awakens your eyes to the political environment of the setting.
The
actors' skills are great. The 'shaky' camera effect is excellent. The editing and cinematography are picture perfect. This movie, is "the movie" because it really felt like you were peeping into these three persons' lives and the story is just so tasty.
Superb. Just superb.
