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.

El Mariachi quotes

  • [last lines]

    El Mariachi: [voiceover] All I wanted was to be a mariachi, like my ancestors. But the city I thought would bring me luck brought only a curse. I lost my guitar, my hand, and her. With this injury, I may never play the guitar again. Without her, I have no love. But with the dog and the weapons, I'm prepared for the future.

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