I wanna see this movie. I am interested in watching, since I am new in this account I don't know how to put this message in one single line. So just only read the first line. I am interested in the movie. It had been mention that there is a rose falling effect, but I am not sure. So Anybody that would like to tell how to get the movie here in the US, or would like to sell it on E-BAY and let me know when you guys have it. I will promise to pay you as soon as possible. thank you I have another comment from the Telemundo's version. I loved it even it was made as Telenovela format and the historical accounts are accurate. Damian makes a good performance as Zapata. And the end is cool. The music is not from a big orchestra, but the natural scenes are beautiful. I wonder where they filmed it.

The key to enjoying this one is the word DREAM. I admire Arau for coming up with this great idea and going against everything and everybody to take it to the screen. I am happy this was not a Zapata biography. We've got several of those and they do a good job at telling the story and portraying that very important chapter of Mexican history. A biography was never Arau's intent. He took a historical character, added the myth that developed from the man and then mixed in his VERY PERSONAL idea. It didn't have to be Zapata. It could have been Moctezuma or Pancho Villa for that matter. What's important and groundbreaking about this movie IS NOT the fact that he picked Emiliano Zapata, but rather what Arau does with the personae of Zapata as he fictionalizes it to a point so surreal, so surreal indeed that Bunuel would have been proud. So people, get over the fact that it's not a biography and enjoy it for what it is: an entertaining adventure into Arau's creative mind. Oh, and for the record, both Alejandro Fernandez and Lucero do a good job. Lucero is an acquired taste, I'll admit that much, and I would have enjoyed her more if she had made an effort to BE in character as opposed to merely PLAY the character. Still, I liked her. I heard comments that she hadn't mastered the Iberian accent and, well, those comments are wrong. Lucero speaks as Iberian as they come. It would have been better if the script -her actual lines- had been better tailored to the time in which this story is supposed to take place. Her lines were too 21st century, and that part did suck. Arau, next time less "tu" and more "vosotros" will do the trick. And Alejandro shines. Who knew the hunk could act? But he does. I was VERY VERY VERY (get my point?) surprised. I was totally prepared to see a cardboardy performance and boy, was I ever mistaken! Alejandro is quite a treat. Camil is adequate as Eusebio and Ochoa as Huerta is just what you would expect evil Huerta to be. And the beautiful Patricia Velazquez manages to give her badly-written character some depth. I want to see her playing Frida some day. So anyway, all in all this movie will not be memorable, but it's an enjoyable hour and a half. In no way is this a waste of time and it most certainly is not the worst movie ever made. Those who gave this movie a bad review simply didn't get it. They wanted a history lesson, and they got an intelligent attempt at surreal cinema, no wonder they were unhappy! So go ahead and watch it if you can find it. Watch it with an open mind a welcoming heart and an art-hungry eye. You'll be pleasantly surprised.

This is a typical Arau movie, full of surrealism mixed with history and humor. Is not a movie to take it as the real story of Zapata but to enjoy the messages Arau try to send and to fully enjoy the places it was filmed. A lot of people do not understand that Arau didn't want to make an historical movie but to see another aspects of Zapata as a national hero, that's why the full name of the movie could be translated as Zapata a dream of a hero and I will like to underline "dream", that is the key word. The witches in the movie is a great touch of what Mexico really is, a place of surrealism. Please sit down and enjoy this movie and don't try to look for a history lesson!

This film is the worst movie I have ever seen, It doesn't follow the real story about Zapata, I don't know what the hell the director smoked or ate, he tried to show us a Magic Hero, or something like that, with derisive "special" effects and with a very bad development in the events.The director have done good movies like "Como agua para chocolate" and "Un paseo por las nubes", but this film is worse than a movie of Britney Spears or Scooby Doo, or the disgusting movies about Singers and Musical Groups from Mexico. It is REALLY a BAD movie.The worst thing, is that the Director Alfonzo Arau will try to show the movie out of Mexico, what a shame!!!.If you hate someone, you could make him feel bad taking him to see this disgusting movie, Even I think that could be very draconian. Really!!!. If Zapata were alive, he surely would kill himself......
