A Cop Movie (2021)

I HATE COPS, I LOVE THIS MOVIE

[9/10 · 13 November 2021]

Finding love where there is none, have compassion for those who do not...

Ruizpalacios plays with reality and shares this funny, romantic and sad story with us. There are many stories that have to be told, even more those that we don't want to hear. The film shows us the "other side" the one of the apparent enemy, who at the end of everything tells us (through comedy) that police and citizens are the same human beings with fears, feelings and a life full of questions.

Teresa and Montoya, what can I say, thank you for taking me on this trip.

Don Alonso Ruizpalacios, thank you for doing what you do and sharing it with us.

And thank you AMBULANTE for bringing good and free cinema around México!!!

Chicuarotes (2019)

What is a script? said the mexican

This film is made every 3-4 years and when they seem to have experience on it they always make the same mistakes again. The weight of the film falls as always in seeing the sad and hard life that these people live, stories that are not far from reality, but if anyone took a camera and went out to record surely they would achieve what this script with mediocre dialogues could not achieve. It hurts because the opportunity to make a movie is not available to everyone, but why do they always give it to the worst writers? Why always this pretentious view of social inequality? Can anyone do something different in México?

Tarantino did the impossible, overcome himself. In the top of his career he demonstrated the maturity he has to write an intelligent, poetic and funny script at the same time, accompanied by a memorable direction. The first time, the anxiety of believing that you already know the end may slightly cloud our sight of what Tarantino is weaving in each scene, taking us through a calmer territory than the one we are accustomed, the story embarks us to an unforgettable end, announced by a diabolical guitar riff. The feeling at the end of seeing is confusing to the degree of believing that it may not be as good as we expected but for this it is important to see it a second time. Now knowing what this is about, we are ready to enjoy the best Mr. Tarantino movie. A round work of art, without gaps, without leftovers, a mastery of dialogues and ability to tell things without saying them through the camera. Leonardo Di Caprio what can we say about him? Thank you, thank you for showing us what acting is, next to a Brad Pitt full of style, the perfect people for the perfect characters. The soundtrack, the best achieved, accompanied with a subtlety and superb style to each sequence. A movie that asks you to observe, it provokes you to think and when you realize you only enjoy, again and again and again. Each year this movie will be better and better, reaching the height of Pulp Fiction even surpassing it. All those who went to seeing it to a movie theater, we should feel grateful for the moment we could live. This is why Tarantino is one of the best writers and directors in history and the damn do not even study at all! This is why cinema exists.
