    Rudo y Cursi

    The movie was quite funny - lots of laugh out loud humor. The film tells an interesting story about two poor brothers who play soccer well. Because they come from an impoverished Mexico they are more naive and fall prey to a man who becomes their agent but who is also a hustler. In addition to his taking advantage of them (despite his discovering them and giving them opportunity in the first place) he does know how to motivate them to play well. There are a few other 'types' who take advantage of their inexperience. There's lots of sibling rivalry yet love of family esp. their mother as well as each other. There are some interesting roles for women in the film esp. Rudo's kind and sensible wife and a femme fatale, who is very, very sexy and whose nickname is 'Pajamas'. Good writing and good acting doesn't hurt.

    Ultimately this is a movie about brotherhood, about the trials and hardships that a brotherhood goes through to find its was back to a shared love. I think the movie can speak at several levels. One a personal one about the relationship between two people that grow up together and also a larger one about humanity and the relationship we all have with one another. There is pain, sacrifice, vice, and misunderstanding but there is also lots of love. In the movie the two brothers have to go through a lot. They are rivals each with their own set of goals and beliefs but their journey's converge at several points to finally find that their love for one another is strong enough to survive it all. It's a funny movie but it also has very dark tones. For example the hazing scenes which are disturbing although we only get a glimpse of what happens. But maybe that's another point the movie makes, that the dark and the funny exist together- like brothers.
