¿Qué estarías dispuesto a hacer con tal de demostrar la esencia de un amor hacia el prójimo mientras también tratas de cumplir con tus sueños? Quizás solo basta con un antifaz y unas clases de lucha libre dadas por Ignacio, un monaguillo que desde muy joven siempre tuvo un sueño que no parece compaginar con su creencia. ¿Habrá algo que pueda llevarlo a cambiar de opinión y darse una oportunidad como luchador profesi…More

A lot of the films recently that I have rewatched or broken down in structure have boiled down to a simple change, a key movement from one thing to another. That's the story. In Close Encounters it's from normalcy into radical exploration. In Whiplash it's from childhood/dreams/dad to manhood/actualization/drumming full tilt. In Nacho Libre, a phenomenal film if you ever wondered, it's from the rigidity of the churc…More
