Truthiness!
Y Tu Mamá Tamién, of course.

This has been a comfort food movie of mine since high school. I went back to it last night because although Rogue One was quite a disappointment, I will never tire of staring at DIego Luna.

However, of all the times I've watched this movie, I finally noticed this:

When they all get to the beach, there's some visual trickery. The camera has sudden and quick dark yellow filters in very specific moments in which it signifies death.

Most superficially, it is Luisa's death. On the second viewing, early on, you notice her going into her doctor, getting her diagnosis, and deciding to gently caress everything.

On the third viewing, and maybe after reading Ebert's review, you realize that this is a story of two friends from very different worlds. While Luisa loses her life, Tenoch and Julio lose their illusions as well as their friendship. You can see flashes and moments of the color change as they process everything.

I dunno, guys. Clearly, I'm new here. I was a film buff ... 12 years ago, when a Netflix subscription was the least irresponsible use of my high school job money. I was watching this movie last night to stare at Tenoch and practice my Spanish, but the use of that yellow lens filter hit me like a sack of bricks.

And, well, hey. It's available on Netflix (in the States, at least), and if you've not seen it, you seriously should.

I have no idea what I'm doing, but that's never been a problem before.

This is the one with all the penises right?
