A historically beautiful film
This film should be seen in its historical context, how Che Guevara became the man that he was. A young Guevara decided to travel across the country in his bike, after becoming a doctor, and understanding the problems that locals in the rural areas faced. It's subtle, poignant and rather beautiful. Gael Garcia Bernal is wonderful.

Another striking movie from Almodóvar's late 90s-early 2000s imperial phase. The complex plot resists easy summary, but concerns the makers of a film adapted from a story based on a (fictional) case of child molestation by Catholic priests - but not everything is quite as it initially appears to be. Flashbacks and the film-within-the-film echo and repeat each other; the line between them eventually blurs and vanishes.

Brilliant performances again, especially from Gael Garcia Bernal, and a fiendishly convoluted and clever script that never loses track of the seriousness of the issues involved: not for the first time, Almodóvar seems to be channelling Hitchcock in a very warped way. Less humane and optimistic than his other films, with a more ambiguous ending, but still a hugely impressive piece of cinema.

Border Control, hmm.
141. Desierto. Nice, random movie on Netflix time and it paid off. It's a short one, but freakin intense man! It's all about a group of Mexicans crossing the border and they meet an American that disagrees with that idea. Its Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who already kinda looks like an asshole, is a real American man, truck, dog, gun, and happens to like murdering people crossing into the states. Meanwhile one of those illegal crossings is happening right now... A group who is crossing the desert on foot because their car breaks down, are pounding across the sand, group gets seperated, one gets ahead...which is good news for the ones way behind, because they get to watch all their travelling companions picked off one by one. The group in the back lead by Gael Garcia Bernal, gets a running, but Morgans dog smells those fuckers out and the race is on. It was really fuckin good, like I said intense and right to the point. I say, watch.

PIXAR movies have a formula that expertly combines an adorable hero/heroine with a story that tugs at the heartstrings. There is always a moment or two where you have to reach for tissue or surreptitiously dash a few tears away with your sleeve. With writers and directors from Finding Nemo, the Good Dinosaur, Toy Story 3 and Monsters University, Coco is no exception.
Coco is the colorful tale of a young boy named Miguel who dreams of becoming an accomplished musician like his idol, the late Ernesto de la Cruz, despite his family’s ban on music that has spanned multiple generations
When an opportunity arises for him to prove his talent, Miguel finds himself in desperate need of a guitar. So desperate, that the plan he devises ends up taking him to the colorful Land of the Dead.
In the Land of the Dead, Miguel teams up with Hector, a trickster voiced by Gael Garcia Bernal, who promises to help him meet the great Ernesto de la Cruz, voiced by Benjamin Bratt, and get back to the Land of the Living.
Anthony Gonzalez infuses Miguel with charm and earnest determination which, of course, you can’t help but root for. Bratt brings a perfect blend of suave and smarm to Ernesto while Bernal brings a good dose of mischief to warm-hearted Hector.
Rich with cultural lessons, stunning animation and beautiful music, Coco is simply a delight. I learned a lot about Dia de Los Muertos, the Day of the Dead, which is very similar to my own culture’s observance of All Souls Day and All Saints Day in the Philippines.
Coco’s winsome depiction of what honoring our departed loved ones means is incredibly heartwarming, and honestly if the Land of the Dead is truly how PIXAR imagines it, I hope they are right.
Much like Moana, so much of the family in Coco reminded me of my own that I left the theater emotionally compromised at the end. You will, too, especially if you’re easily touched by sweet songs and tender moments between parents and their children. Coco is a moving lesson about the love of family and believing in yourself and how one can strengthen the other in turns.
