In Reply to: Amores Perros was WAAAAY better posted by JCEFalconi on November 20, 2002 at 00:16:25:
but im not sure if it was better. not to take anything away from it, but the storytelling felt like a pulp fiction rip-off, and the fact that it was based around a single event took away from some of the surprise of the direction of the film. in mama tambien, i couldnt figure out where it was going AT ALL throughout the film. it really surprised me with every scene...
i havent seen that other one, how would you compare it to the others...that one actor in mama and perros is damn good though, even if i cant understand the language.
: WAY WAY WAY better... I mean just better than "Y tu mamá tambien".
: Although I Liked it, It's one of the only three memorable films of the "new mexican cinema".
: Those are: Y tu mama tambien, Amores Perros (Love's a bitch) and "Sexo, pudor y lagrimas" (Sex, shame and tears).
