This was a wonderful movie. These two boys Gonzalo and Pedro are so much alike and so far apart. They are just boys growing up in a crazy world and trying to survive. They are also in a world where they are so far apart because of the social aspect of it. They see each other and try to measure up the other. They like each other but in the beginning is afraid to show it. Some of the other boys are bullies and are picking on Pedro and finally Gonzalo helps him instead of hurting him. A bond is made. During the movie they see how each other lives and cannot believe it from one extreme to the other. Even though at the end they are not friends anymore, society would not allow that to happen. I think in the end they still liked each other and wish that it could be different.
The difference between the two social classes were so evident. Pedro is so poor lives in this dirty run down village and has almost nothing and Gonzalo has this great lifestyle and not hurting for anything. It is so cute when Pedro got excited about the Addidas gym shoes and could not believe that all of the clothes in Gonzalo's closet was his. Gonzalo was like it is no big deal but to Pedro it was amazing. The children of the poor society had to work for everything and do what was needed to survive. Where the rich society gave presents to there kids and went to private schools and had nice clothes. The rich did not want there children hanging around with the poor ones.
This film was totally different than the last one. The was a story of two little boys and how they wanted to be friends and hang out and drink condensced milk and just have fun but society would not allow that to happen. Children can not help where they are born and how they are raised and how much money they do or don't have. They are innocent and all they know how to be is kids. It is the adults who destroy this for them even though they think this is right.
My personal thougts for this movie: it was sad,cute,happy so many feelings at one time. We as Americans are the same way at times. People are looked down on because they have nothing and some people think they are above everyone else because they have more than the average person. As long as there are humans on this earth it will never change. There will always be racism and discrimination.

You are so right about children not being able to help where they are born and raised. The differences in this movie were really apparent. The rich were given so many things, which they seemed to take for granted. The poor worked very hard for the little they had as you said. Even though the poor worked hard and didn't have much time they weren't busy, they still found time to value their family. I find it sad when kids just want to have fun, and the adults are pushing them to grow up fast. It is a shame when the innocence of youth is destroyed.
ReplyDeleteI agree that people are judged by how much they have or dont have.Its assumed that if your poor your not as intelligent or motivated to work . This stereotype is everywhere. The wealthy dont want poor children integrated into the more pretigous schools here anymore than they did in the movie. Racism and discrimination while lessened is still prevalent.Kids are forced to grow up to fast. Gonzalos family was basically untouched ,they were able to maintain their lifestyle by utilizing the black market, while pedros family was forced to live in squalor . Pedro made money by selling cigarettes and flags at protest marches.Thankfully there are more opportunities here than in other countries. Everyone needs to realize that the people they look down on could one day be them. Its sad to realize what people in other countries have to fight for just to get the basic rights that we take for granted.
