Los reyes del mundo

This film has a beautifully simple storyline that manages to capture the dreams and struggles of a group of street kids on a roadtrip from Medellín, Colombia, to a poor and rural region.

Los reyes del mundo shows us both the best and the worst in humans, without being loud or in your face about it. We see the empathy of strangers, but also the lack of it. We see undying friendship, but also friendship cracking under pressure.

The cast puts in an incredibly impressive performance. I don't know anything about their backgrounds, but they hardly miss a beat.

If you're in the mood for a lighthearted feel-good movie, this is not the one for you. But otherwise I warmly recommend it.

It's a film that subtly and magically shows the reality of various Colombian communities. It's "magic realism" just like Gabriel Garcia Marquez related in his books and stories. The photography and immersion of the story is mesmerizing, the cast is amazing, young men with solid caracters of called: "neas". The music is envolving and cool, the colombian cine is growing and give us amazing stories with a social message. Definitely a film that you enjoy if you someting different. Me encantó la historia de principio a fin, gracias a todo el equipo de trabajo por darnos esta excelente película. El cine Colombiano está brillando🇨🇴✨

I was shocked at how immersing and moving this film was, we're thrown in the harsh reality of these children, seemingly hopless when shown with what could be a major change for their livelyhoods, and so they embark on their journey.

They're helped along their quest and guided by some, but these "gamines" are also given a hard time by people who couldn't care less about their situation and just deem them as scum, a sad reality of our modern world.

A shimmer of hope in the form of a white horse in the opening sequence stays with them until the very end of their quest. Magical realism is seen ever so slightly and beautifully along the film.

Some amazing shots, I was caught by surprise by how well crafted and sophisticated some scenes are, astounding.

Bob Dylan had that song that enumerated several injustices, each one more disheartening than the previous, and it sang sort of "it still ain't time for your tears" until the very end. Something along those lines happens here. Because I loved this from the minute one. I cried several times. It moved me. I loved this raw, beautiful, striking portrait of having nothing, and nothing is everything you will ever have. I loved the social commentary at various levels. I loved the cast performances, so real, so powerful. The movie rests on them and they just jump out of the screen to give you pure, new cinema. But it's a couple of hours later, when, still digesting the movie, still wondering, when I read this article in which I learn that the main protagonist is making his living, a year after production, months after travelling to San Sebastián to collect the main prize, out of selling sweets in the streets of Medellin. Now it's the time for your tears.

Thank you to show us face of central and south America.

Just do not forget guys that since 2022 USA got millions of illegal immigrants who was jumping through the border with no documents, does it tells you anything?

The Current Surge Border Encounters and Aliens Released. From January 2021 to August 2024 there have been 10.4 million "encounters" at all U. S. borders.2 There have never been this many encounters over such a short period of time, which in the past were referred to as "apprehensions," though there are some differences between the two terms. The number of encounters is suggestive of the scale of the ongoing crisis, but it does not capture the number of new illegal immigrants, as encounters can represent multiple attempts by the same person to enter the country. In addition to encounters, the most recent estimate of the number of illegal immigrants released in to the country over this time comes from the House Judiciary Committee, which reported last month that "In less than four years, the Biden-Harris Administration has released into the United States more than 5.6 million illegal aliens."3 The decision to release these aliens or fly them in under the CHNV program, represents new additions to the illegal immigrant population. Many of those released are parolees, have pending asylum applications, and/or were released on their own recognizance. Many of these individuals have been given work authorization. However, they are still inadmissible aliens who have not been formally admitted to the U. S. and are subject to deportation under the Immigration and Nationality Act.
