El Estudiante

This is by far one of the worst films I have ever seen

This movie lets us see that learning has no age limit. The older generations learn from the younger and vice versa. Chano learned to be opened minded and to handle new technology while reminding a group of students the importance of romance and values. The main message of this movie is to not forget our values, that we should always respect one another and that the old romance ways don't age. Friendship is a strong point in this movie and we learn that it has no age limit. When Chano's younger friends see his suffering, they want to be there for him.This movie was filmed in Guanajuato and I really enjoyed watching the scenery and the culture of the town.

Regardless of its country of origin, a movie that promotes values, life, and respect the way "El Estudiante" does, is truly hard to find these days. The film is truly remarkable and a hard departure from today's mostly trash-filled films. A film you can see with all the family without worries. An uncompromised masterpiece.

I am to see a better-made, better-acted, heartfelt piece of art. My best wishes to Gaston Pavlovich, its creator, and may this movie be seen and rewarded for all years to come.

Specially remarkable is the work of Mr. Lavat, whose artistic origins and past work are well known to most Mexicans.

The new crop of your actors, their fresh if ordinary looks are worth of representing a new cinema wave for people tired of cheap acting roles of would be's like Gael Garcia's or the like who act based on foulness and cheapness.

Good Job!

No!! This movie is absolutely questionable in that it's anything but spontaneous, it's so full of commonplaces!! It praises conventional values in such a way that it ends up being not only unrealistic, but truly pretentious and corny -not to mention predictable. A very poor example of Mexican cinema, which has struggled so much to build a good reputation. Plus, leitmotif music is used "ad lib", not when it really enhances a scene!!! Awful. I don't think a movie has to resort to the "easy weep" to make a point. Honestly, for this kind of films, a Power Point presentation would be more than enough. Undoubtedly, better options, with better plots, can be found effortlessly.

This is a very nice and refreshing film. I like it because there is no need to talk about the wrong things to attract the public. Mexico is a wonderful place to live, plenty of values.

The main attraction in this film is the everyday life which can be enjoyed if only you can see from certain perspective. Love, solidarity, hope are great values This film changes a little bit the parameters: in this case when the freshman at the University is an old man who follows his dreams and get into the University. He learns and teaches at the same time.

Don Quixote and Guanajuato. Love and hopes seems not to be a coincidence to be blended in this film, is how it is in real life.

This is a Universal film that I think will be remembered and awarded.

Nice photograph, music, script, acting, message, a round film, perhaps little bit exaggerated.

Last but not the least the location. It was filmed at the beloved city of Guanajuato. I lived there for several years and the colonial and world heritage city, is a silent and beautiful actress of the film where a lot of details are captured, so as the beautiful jacaranda flowers.

In brief, it's a beautiful and highly recommended film.

Message to the Mexican film makers: No need to deploy our mistakes there is a lot of chances in our virtues. Congratulations for this novel director for doing so.
