Rebelde Way

Well, to all you future fans of it in the USA (I heard Warner Bros. bought the rights), here's a bit of what this Argentinian soap-opra is like: A couple of (hot) teenagers go to an elite boarding-school ("Ellite Way"), where they study arts and stuff. The four main characters are:

• Mia (by Luisana Lopilato) - A rich snob, but deep down she likes helping people.

• Manuel (by Phelipe Colombo) - A poor Mexican there only to avenge his father's death.

• Marizza (by Camila Bordonova) - The rich luca daughter of a famous sexy super-model (Catherine Flop - super-model in real life too)

• Pablo (by Benjamin Rojas) - The son of the mayor, who as a father - sucks big time. He actually makes me mad.

And they all get together, with the help of friends, to form a music group called "Erre Way" (they also released already two real CDs: "Rebelde Way" and "Tiempo").

And for my opinions:

• Their acting isn't Edward Norton's, but fairly good.

• Phelipe and the preety girl who plays Luxan (a supporting character) are the best actors in the show in my opinion (and of course, all of the elders too). Benjamin isn't that bad either.

• Benjamin is considered very sexy in the eyes of many girls. I agree, but you got to hate his nose!

• Luisana is unquestionablly the hottest HUMAN-BEING in the world! The words of a girl!

• final note: I do NOT like this show at all, but many INTELLIGENT Israeli teenagers seem to DO like it. And they also spend a lot of money on concert-tickets and merchandise too. Go figure.

I am watching it again after almost 15 years since I first saw it, and I can't help but love it. Like every other great movie, watching it for the second time only makes you see some things you didn't pay attention to in the first run. I mean, I'm almost 30, but the feeling is the same. This is much more than a soap-opera, it's a depiction of the life as a teenager...but not only. Yes, it's exaggerated, but that's the beauty of it. When Mia is wondering why Joaquin doesn't notice her, even though "mi pelo es re lindo", or I hear Sonia screaming after her precious "Marizza, mi ciela", I can't help but clap, it's that good. I mean, the boobs may be fake, but by god those tears are real! :)) Don't even think about comparing this with the crap shows that copied it (Rebelde and what not). The devil is in the details. And this, dear teenagers of any age, is a masterpiece

All my teenage in a serie! Can't stop watching this show!! SO educational about friendship, love, hate, injustice and truth!!

This TV series tells the story of a high-school class, their freshmen and sophomore years (they've stopped shooting it now). It takes place in a school called Elite Way, a boarding school for rich people, and they only have several students who get in on scholarships. It centers around 4 students who meet and form a group called Erreway. The four members of the group - Marizza, Pablo, Mia and Manuel, have to struggle both against their parents, who don't want them to sing in a band (except for Marizza's mom) and against the school and its regulations (and its principle) that doesn't allow it. Together with this we get a story of a bunch of teenagers who deal with the same every day problems that normal teenagers do. The show deals with sex, drugs, love, hate, friendship, abuse, death, vengeance etc. Kind of a modern day Beverly Hills.

What a masterpiece. The plot was very educational about ethical dillemas, prejudice, real problems and how to face them, love, music, inocence. The main plot is about an expensive school where the kids of the elite families of Argentina go to. The school also accepts kids with scholarship and those kids are discriminated because they dont come from money or high status. The main 4 protagonists decide to create a band together and play music, against parent's or school's permition. The episodes touch on sensitive subjects and navigate through them masterfully and without being provocative, politically biased and with a high level of sensitivity to the younger audience. Love to Chris Morena from Greece and thank you for making our childhood awesome. It has been 20 years and i still haven't seen a better teen show. I will have my kids watch it one day.
