It Must Be Cultural ...
15 January 2010
Warning: Spoilers
Now I know why the Spanish speaking Cultures have not won a War since the time of the Musket ... if they have more than one bullet in the gun, they shoot themselves after shooting someone. I assume the time it took to reload the Musket, gave them time to reconsider suicide? ... LOL

This is the second Spanish Language movie I have watched this month (the other being, 'El menor de los males'), that a character deliberately, and as part of their job, shoots someone, and then immediately commits suicide?!?!

Why does she kidnap her Lover/Best Friend since childhood (who she just had sex with, and brought to see her dying mother?) ... Why does she shoot him? ... Why does she torture him by taking off his blindfold, to give him hope, and then the ultimate betrayal?... Why does she shoot herself? When you kidnap someone, you either get the money or not. FARC would have a hard time getting members, if you have to kill yourself, and your entire team (family in this case) must die, when you do not get the money.

A 'Gotcha' ending, that made no sense (She could have escaped? Gave him the gun? Shot him mercifully? Re-ransomed him?), was the icing on the cake, of a movie that made me feel ... I was stuck in traffic
