Franco C @RT80263373 2h An excellent movie, Macario (1960) vividly describes how the difficult concepts of wealth and abundance can affect us. The film represents the pinnacle of this idea, showing how starvation and poverty mixed with old beliefs in Latin America can lead to self-destruction. This is one of the most dangerous paths to follow, as the film explores themes of death, good deeds, and the devil, creating a powerful core with deep contrasts.

Con ese tono místico y nostálgico característico de muchas películas de la época, que toca un tema bastante polémico y que se ve reflejada en una de las mas bellas tradiciones que tiene México. Super recomendado, se ha convertido en un clásico y en una pieza de historia del cine mexicano así como del país mismo.

Or so it seems, until it turns out it never happened. This is my main gripe with the film. Even if you assume that it was done to relieve his family from bearing guilt or shame for him (and if you read the story it's pretty much said so), it still feels like a cop out. The theme of fleeting life that can be snuffed out at any moment is brutal and hits hard because of how ruthless Macario's situation ends up being. Overall, a very touching and poignant picture.
