I've finished watching the movie and I'm crying with joy, horror and sadness. What a shocking, real, charming, innocent, evil and disheartening movie. A work of art of the genre made of everyday reality, where an inoperative government, corrupt and alien to its governed has allowed such a real atrocity in Mexico. A lacerating, outrageous, violent reality, without law or justice and a childhood torn, strangled and murdered by interests foreign to its purity. Beautiful allegory of innocence, camaraderie and revenge of a people whose citizens, fed up with corruption and impunity, shout justice even if it is from beyond the grave.

Hellboy II: The Golden Army
(2008)
excellent!!! but one question
12 July 2008
Warning: Spoilers
Again, my favorite Mexican filmmaker, bring us another great film but...where is the voice of David Hyde Pierce? del Toro give us a glimpse of his remarkable talent and of course show us again his human side. I was astonishing by the way he treat the intimacy of our hero. Forgetting the impolite behavior and the natural violence in his character,Perlman give us a Hellboy with flaws, passion and clumsiness like no one other hero show us before. I like a lot, the Pan's Labyrinth touch Guillermo did to the fairies, chamberlain and the Angel of Death. I guess del Toro was inspired by the epic tale Hayao Miyazaki's Princess Mononoke by filming the battle with the Elemental. At the end of it, you will see how life grows of nowhere, just in the place the Elemental plasm drops. And again, where is the Abe Sapiens great voice?
