I saw this for my SPA 108 course in college and boy was I glad that it had English subtitles in the link provided by the professor. Otherwise, I wouldn't have recognized the beautiful message told in this film. On the surface, I enjoyed watching Karla Souza and hearing the fluid language of Spanish -- oh, how different it is, yet delicious to listen to nevertheless, than English -- but I also cherished the themes and overall plot presented. You have three spoiled, wealthy children who spend their adult lives living it up, and their aging father who sees this indolence and wishes to do something about it. Seeing this I realized more fully the value of hard work, of getting a job, of earning money well and appreciating family and friends, of finding your true love, of, well, living life in a good way. I know, it's unfortunate that after the 4+ sublime years of college we either continue our education or join the masses in the 40-hour workweek and commit to a life of working, sleeping, and coming home to the couch and the game. But regardless, this is still a life worth living, for the true inherent value is not so apparent on the surface. "You should enjoy the little detours. To the fullest. Because that's where you'll find the things more important than what you want." (Ging Freecs)
... View MoreOne of the most relaxing movies I've seen lately. It is somehow predictable, but yet very well made. It satirizes very well the situation of wealthy kids (all over the world, not necessarily Mexico) and their behavior amongst the others. I liked the characters, the dumb rich kid that invests money in unprofitable businesses, the spoiled daughter that acts as if she had the world at her feet and the hopeless prodigy that would do literally anything to achieve his goals. I really liked it and for once more I was convinced of the fact that the movies made outside the States have a special something, they don't fit in the pattern, they have their own style. I highly recommend it! :)
... View MoreI am always looking for "the good ones", movies that leave an unforgettable impression, and "Nosotros Los Nobles" is a must see for everyone who gets tired of the same unimaginative scripts. And the funny thing is that the story for this film couldn't be more simpler,is about family, and is translated to the screen with heart and wit, a little irreverent, but we live on those times, still it manages to contain itself without crossing lines, and I, as an avid movieholic and father of a young woman, I really appreciate that, because Is easy for me and you and everybody to feel comfortable watching a moderate film with your loved ones. The movie is excellent and the acting is more than acceptable, and seeing Gonzalo Vega is a pleasure for all of us familiar with his work. I just have words for recommending this film to everyone, because other reviewers have already expressed in a better writings whatever else I could say about it, congratulations to everyone involved on "Nosotros Los Nobles"
... View MoreWell, here i am trying to redeem myself about this. I honestly didn't like the idea of going to see this movie at all, and the result was quite different than expected. There i was: A person that dislikes the movies from Mexico (my country), about to watch a Mexican movie, that i was sure was gonna be total crap, so if you are like me about this movie read what follows. The movie begins, and the first thing that caught my attention was the Warner Brothers logo, that put me in a skeptical mood, so it was running and for my surprise, it was really good, then it was becoming excellent, at the end i was with mixed feelings, i loved the movie and hated my self for being such an A-hole when i spoke about my reasons for not watching it. What i loved about this movie, was first of all: -The characters: I really loved what every character represented here, like :the hipster kid, the stuck up girl, the "oh my God my ideas are awesome because i think i know people"kid, the hypocrite sold friends, the real world people (you know, the people who lives in the real world), but my favorite was the father, that man knows how to give a lesson (i wont spoil it). -The way the plot was used: i am going to be honest here, the plot is a cliché, from the moment the movie begins,if you have enough brain cells, you know the plot, but what i liked was the way it was evolving, to be honest it was a "original" way to go trough the plot that we all know. There is a lot to love and little to dislike (not hate)i mean there is a lot of language but if you live in Mexico it is the standard level of language for a normal person, and that is just freaking awesome, it doesn't go to far or to limited with it, the passing is just good, even if i felt the movie was going fast, it was good, the character development is just like the plot: predictable but well handled. i really can not express myself as i wish i could but i hope you get my point. i just saw it, i would see it again, it's definitely worth checking out. to finish this i would like to apology to the Mexican cinema industry and i will check out more movies made here in México, and also say "don't judge a book for it's cover" because that is the stupid thing i did for years with Mexican movies and now regret. so a final verdict would be a 8.5 out of 10 in my humble opinion.
