Nudity, anyone??
15 December 2003
In the narration, you can almost hear Alfonso and Carlos Cuaron say "Look at all the sex and nudity in our movie! Aren't we artsy? Aren't we defiant of the mainstream? Huh? Arent we?!" Really, fellas... You didn't have to slap naked actors' bodies in our face at every turn to make this film enjoyable. It was.

You also didn't have to play on our feelings of Mexico's poor classes so much either. Did we really need to hear about the poor pigs on the beach getting slaughtered?(I mean we're talking about ANIMALS here) Or the poor fisherman being out of a job because a hotel was being built on his turf? Or the poor bricklayer who got run over because the footbridge over the road was too far for him to walk?

Again, your film was extremely moving and watchable without that stuff.
