Los olvidados had quite the negative tone from start to finish just as was mentioned at the beginning of the movie. This film depicted a raw and explicit image of the day in the life of impoverished youth in the slums of Mexico City but to an exaggerat…

El fin de Los Olvidados me dejo sintiendo muy triste. La mayoría de las películas de Hollywood usualmente termina con los finales felices porque desean atraer a la audiencia y lo que crean la audiencia quiere a mirar para que escapar su realidad actu…

I think this film criticizes the inability of the system in place to reform individuals in Mexican society. The fact that Jaibo escaped from prison and actually became a worst person than he was before shows that prison is not the way to go since peop…

“Los Olvidados” is a film that calls for social reform in a society where urbanization is calling for drastic measures on people’s lives and it creates a problem that lies in the core of every person. With the use of a very realistic form of filmmaking…

Los olvidados has a lot of huge important themes, especially since Buñuel thought of it as a documentary, but I think that the relationships are the most interesting part of the film…the relationships between the gang and their parents, the relation…

Yo vi esa película en la secundaria, pero aquella vez no entendí casi nada (probablemente por que no había subtítulos.) El lenguaje de la película es bastante difícil de entender por el ’slang’.  Pero esta vez, gracias a la ayuda de los subtítulos, entendí la mayoría del diálogo.  Sin embargo, de la trama hay ciertas […]

Today was the second time I watched the film and I was surprised that I did not feel as sad as I did the first time. I remember being very moved by the hatred and anger that the children felt in the movie and also very uncomfortable with the blind begg…

Lo siento, soy poco tarde.Los Olvidados ofrece un contraste interesante a Aguila o Sol. En las dos peliculas hay jovenes que viven la mayoria de sus vidas con no padres. En Aguila o Sol, los niños pueden tener una vida con mucho exito. Sin embargo,…

Las peleas, las sangres, los madadores y los muertos, todos las cosas son sufrimiento; las ignorancias de los padres a sus hijos y las desesperaciones de los discapacidados me hace triste; el protagonista, Jaibo, me hace no sóla enojada pero simipatic…

Aguila o SolDe la perspectiva de la clase alta, Polito y Carmelo son “pallazos” o “muy corrientes” (Mex: cheap, trashy) como dice el productor del espectáculo. En muchos sentidos, esta película hace un crítica social. O mejor dicho, como tod…

Lo que me intereso mas a mi fue el caracter de Adriana. A mi me parece que ella es la que desde el principio puede mantener sus relaciones con los dos ninos y con los mas ricos de la ciudad. Cuando es chica, se puede ver que ella tiene un caracter muy …

Es la primera película mexicana y antigua (hecho en 1937) que he mirado y la verdad es que es mucho mejor de lo que esperaba. Al principio antes de que miraba la película, no podía entender el significado del título, águila o sol, porque la traduc…

The film Aguila o sol was filmed in a way that made for some confusing scenes that did not help out with the films storytelling and which aided to disrupt the flow of the plot. It starts off with the three children, Polito, Adriana and Carmelo being ab…

The readings for this week were alright, I liked reading about Cantiflas. I found it interesting to learn that Mexican cinema comments more on socioeconomic differences and cultural issues. The film tonight felt ahead of its, in my opinion. In terms of…

Me gustaría ver esa película otra vez… por entender más del diálogo… por poder prestar más atención a la trama o las narrativas.  De hecho, hoy me quedé bastante confundida cuando terminó la película.  Me gustó, por ciertos elementos cómicos, especialmente el chiste de los ‘tiempos’.  También me impresionó que tan expresivo es Cantinflas… sentí […]

Aguila o Sol

I think that this film’s main purpose is to entertain, like was most films at the time, but shows prevalent traits of distinct social classes. Throughout the movie, there is a fear that the rich will mess everything up, at least in the eyes of Polito….

Alright… Well…
I should preface this post (and perhaps all my posts) by informing you that I don’t speak a word of spanish…
WOW THAT’S RIDICULOUS! Yeah it is.
Okay…
I am a Film Studies major though and I’m going to try and slog it out.
So,
For that reason my observations will lean towards the aesthetic elements of these films and whatever else I can soak up…
Sorry if I repeat anything that was said in class by someone else but I didn’t understand a word any of you said.
Perfect.

Águila o sol

The first thing that fascinated me about this film was the ability for a story to be conveyed to a viewer who lacks
language comprehension. Visual cues (the three marks on the chest) helped denote the primary character, facial
expressions revealed character emotion (confusion in the dream), vocal inflections did the same, music set the tone,
and the editing/shots conveyed the basic story elements.
In fact, I felt very confident regarding the narrative and that surprised me.
Unfortunately,
The comedic elements of the film were lost on me, aside from visual sight gags such as the chair collapsing or the
policeman entering. The comedy seemed to be very quick, punchy dialogue that naturally requires a strong sense
of timing. If the film were to be subtitled in English, the comedic impact would be dulled down, if not lost completely.
Okay, that was my impression.
