if you're upset at Emilia Pérez and want to see a real mexican movie that treats the epidemic of missing and murdered people in México with actual empathy and touch, please watch Ruido (2022).

It's based on many stories of missing women and of femicide. It features a woman searching for her missing daughter and becoming an activist for the thousands of missing people countrywide.

As it's based on real things happening in the country, the production included help from real mothers of missing people, called madres buscadoras. They're activists that search all over the country for their loved ones, either dead or alive. The madres buscadoras of the state of San Luis Potosí acted and advised in this movie.

It's an amazing film that deals with some of the most delicate subjects in mexican society and has an amazing story.

Quien diría que este sujeto ↓

(Toshiro Mifune)

Sería tan buen actor que pasó de ser samurai a ser oaxaqueño

Si a mí no me dicen que este sujeto es japonés no me doy cuenta .

Siguiendo con el tema esta película es bastante buena teniendo a Ismael Rodríguez de director (el dirigió muchos clásicos del drama mexicano como "Nosotros Los Pobres" o "Pepe el toro") y a un buen conjunto de guionistas como Vicente Oroná Jr. (Un actor y guionista de películas como "así era Pancho Villa"), Ricardo Garibay (periodista y escritor de drama ) y el propio Ismael. Y asimismo esta inspirada en el libro, escrito por Rogelio Barriga Rivas,"La Mayordomía"

Esta película más allá de contarnos una historia (bellísima por cierto) también te presenta los aspectos culturales y sociales de este pueblo indígena, siendo algo bastante interesante.

No entiendo como en este blog de la nada comenzaron a aparecer cosas sobre películas, pero en fin, es mi blog y si yo quiero subo dibujos, brotes psicóticos u opiniones de películas >:)

Watch More Movies Notebook: November ‘24

Collage of stills from my eleven favorite new-to-me films of November ’24

As you may have surmised from me posting this at the end of December, I didn’t have the time to do a full write-up for November. Real world/holiday responsibilities took some precedence, but also, I’m gearing up for some new and different stuff for 2025! 

For now, find some shout outs to my noirvember-heavy, favorite first-time watches and a rundown of what I posted in November ‘24.

Favorite New-to-me Films of the Month

(listed in order pictured above, L to R)

As always, if any other films catch your eye, but you need specific content/trigger warnings, feel free to ask and I’ll try to oblige!

I only managed 15 of the 18 films that I had hoped to watch for Noirvember this year, but had great luck since 9 of those 15 made my favorites list.
