An opening without continuing

Although it is the beginning of the later stories, it is a beginning that does not need to be continued.
In this way, 80 minutes of South American customs, 80 minutes of Mexican towns, 80 minutes of jokes, 80 minutes of life transformation, all the entangled atmospheres are all intertwined.

The impermanence, sadness, romance, and horror of the world are the major feelings after reading it.

The acting skills of the heroine and the drug lord are rather jerky, and when they look at it, they feel like a cat's paw scratching in the heart. Fragments without a protagonist are not very storytelling and slightly boring.

Some of the shot cuts are hard, but they have impact. The director's shot speed control skills are good, slow and fast, handling well,

wandering singers, very temperament, and the scene of encountering the tortoise has made me unforgettable for a long time.

    Patches, I like the monologues at the beginning and end of the film, a one-person crew, and a budget of 7,000 dollars, which is considered Rodriguez's famous work.

    It's not easy to make a low-budget movie like this, and the editing is very skillful = =||

El Mariachi quotes

  • El Mariachi: [hitchhiking] That morning was just like any other. No love. No luck. No ride. Nothing changes.

  • Domino: [hands him his guitar and thrusts a knife into his bath water] Play it! Play something sweet! Play!

    El Mariachi: [plays a few cords]

    Domino: Sing!

    El Mariachi: [singing] I've been caught with my pants down, and there may be a castration. There were several assholes, who tried to rip me to pieces. And now I'm with this princess, who's armed with a knife. Big northern eyes, and a ferocious body.

    Domino: [withdraws the knife from the water]

    El Mariachi: This is the best I've ever played. You inspired me.
