No point in catching up on what has happened the past two months. I'll just skip to this moment as I watch La verdadera historia de la llorona (2007). I bought it at la pulga this Thanksgiving Thursday in my attempt to watch more "culturally relevant films". But usually when i pick these films they are modern takes of classic stories. I enjoy watching random Mexican films in particular because of their small budgets. It adds some humbleness and lets me place more emphasis on the acting and directing. American films with larger budgets (i.e Captain America: The First Avenger) are sometimes lacking.
This movie isn't historical, but it's a good story. A married businessman has an affair with his secretary who then becomes pregnant. All the meanwhile, the secretary sleepwalks and calls out "mis hijos".
The real story is the affair, which goes back to the belief that stories carry a moral story. The truth is sometimes i watch these films without worrying about the moral or the exploitation of women and minorities. I tell myself that I learn from watching these films because I understand more of how they are exploited. Other times I think i enjoy it [the general word of all].
Could a psychiatrist explain what I am feeling? Would it matter if they told me since I'm not sure I would believe their analysis. [oh oh, the wife just found out the secretary is pregnant]
Betrayal is harsh. Somehow this movie is turning out good even though it has little to do about la llorona, unless it considers itself an origin story. I am scared easily by horror films. I wouldn't consider this movie a horror film, but I'm not turning off the lights either. lol
