La dictadura perfecta

Hilarious - No yo solo viajo donde te piden passport, papa 😂 No he tenido tiempo de ir de compras o al mercado....

I can't explain how I felt while watching the movie. Every single detail is so real that hurts. I could simply replace the names of the characters by the names or real politicians. Our countries in South America are experiencing everything that is portraited in the movie. This satire is amazing and at the same time painful to watch. Worth watching!

Fake News - more than just literally and also more than that. Now let's make sure President Trump doesn't see this - his position on Mexicans is bad enough as it is. Although when the movie begins there is a dialog that he may enjoy - for many wrong reasons. Especially because it includes Obama (by name). Current politics aside, if that is possible at a crazy time like that. The movie has been outdone by reality.

And while some things may have seemed outrageous back then, many have been said by "world leaders" (especially one) or seem to have been done. There is no proof there is an agreement between Fox News and the POTUS and they do have actual reporters, even if you can count them on one hand. The way they report may remind you on something you see in this movie. But even without that happening right now, the movie does wear thin and annoying at points where you just know where this is going.

Predictability isn't always something bad and the movie is more than decent, but the running time seems far too stretched. While I didn't have an issue with the depicted violence, I'm pretty sure the tone will feel mixed and convoluted for others. Funny but would have worked better if it was shorter

Maybe because the main actor and director from La Ley de Herodes are attached,one would think this is a sequel to the 1999 movie that made history. Nothing of the sort, this watches more like a made for tv (and for profit) movie. Cinematography is as bad as any mexican soap opera, and it figures, most of the actors in this are Mexican tv stars, yep, the same mexican Televison industry that the movie tries to criticize.

While Herodes had some beautiful framed and shot scenes, and acting was very good, (maybe because most of the cast were cinema and theater actors) this one has the feel of a Televisa production, it seems clearly shot on video and the acting is really subpar.

The message is still the same we all know: Mexico's system is corrupt. If you want to learn why, then go watch La Ley de Herodes.

This movie is a good example of the problems that exist in Mexico today; the plot is good, the actors are excellent and there is a good use of satire; it is good to see that good cinema is being made in Mexico.
