Such an interesting tale of orphans in war filled Spain. The lines between antagonist and protagonist are clearly drawn and illustrate the boys joining together to destroy their oppressor and give an old friend justice for his murder. This film is a  literature motif, the old good vs. evil, making it a classic. The whole film lead up to Jacinto becoming this force of evil and therefore the need for him to be destroyed.  Jacinto being the antagonist, drowns because of his greed in the form of gold weighing down his body. I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes basically movies. This movie is for everyone and a instant Spanish classic to watch over and over again.

What can I say, this was surely interesting and a little fun adventure between two best friends and a woman they befriended at a wedding. It's a bit sexual... well, extremely sexual in content so if you have a problem with adult content such as that than this is not the movie for you.  I enjoyed the drive through Mexico with the characters and the narrator's footnotes after each major event. I hate with movies leave you with questions so the footnotes helps tons. After the trip to Heaven's Mouth it's quite obvious that Julio and Tenoch's relationship as best buddies is over, but I still found it to be depressing in a few ways. The reason I feel this way is personal reasons. I'm at that age when friends start to change and you begin to accept that you may never see them again, so when I watch movies about it I feel...I don't know how I feel, maybe impending doom. A little birdie tells me that statement is a little harsh. Anyway, let's get out of my personal life and back to the film. This is a favorite of mine because the characters grow as people and have a little fun on the way. Please watch it if you have time. Spoiler! I was surprised when Lucia died from terminal cancer after showing no signs during the whole film. Julio explained that it had spread all over her body and she died about a week after they left for home
