La strategia della lumaca

I think it's a great movie. Sergio Cabrera shows another perspective of poverty while showing a funny point of view of a group of poor people fighting against a mafia man. Sergio shows that when people join they may get a relief from normal life and that's very important when you live in a poor country like colombia. Besides, The movie shows the whole thinking of poor people in many distinct areas like religion, loyalty, love, etc.

Well I enjoyed this movie is one of the best Colombian movies I saw, I dont agree with the guy from Canada, the important thing in this movie is the people and feelings, the characters are real, no special effects. Everything comes together at the end, its a good movie that shows the great courage of normal people, not Hollywood heroes with big guns.

I very much disagree with the previous comment posted on this movie because I think it is one of the best movies produced in Colombia. It treats the usual theme of poverty and social unjustice with satire and humor giving it a new approach and an enrichening perspective. For anyone who has had any follow up of Colombian cinema, this is a must see movie.

I think it's not that bad. I agree, it's a must see movie talking about Colombian cinema, I think it has had a Cannes award!! The real thing that one has to see in the movie is that Colombian people don't give up! Never ever! We always find a way to get what we want, even if is not the best one. That's what this movie is about, no matter how bad the things are going, there's something else that rests ---HOPE!

La estrategia del caracol is a precious tale, like one of those G.G. Marquez usually writes. There is a kind of magic realism on it, so we see a world that is not exactly as the real one, but is quite similar. The whole film, in my opinion, is a metaforic view of the society, represented by the house. The people living there have to learn to live altogether, despite their differences, and fight together to face a great danger: The destruction of their home.

After using as many legal tricks as possible, there is only one solution, proposed by a former Spanish civil war fighter. But this solution means work, and everybody must work with his neighbours, doing as much as possible and receiving everything needed in exchange. During the work, they act as a team, as a real society; and some anarchist little dreams can come true, although, as Jacinto (the Spanish exiliate)says "it´s autumn in Spain". Nowadays, I´m afraid it´s already winter.
