Cicatrices

I HATED IT, HORRIBLE, NI AL CASO, NO VALE LA PENA, NUNCA LA VEAN. DA UN MAL EJEMPLO A TODAS LAS MUJERES, BYE

Cicatrices is definitely a different Mexican movie... With a low budget production... as it also shows in the script and the story guideline, Cicatrices could have been improved. However, I am not saying that it is great or perfect but it has more positive features than negative ones.

Fist of all, it tries to deal with Mexican common problems such as domestic violence, divorce...but it goes deeper into personal and spiritual growth with a Christian focus.

Nevertheless, even if you are not Christian it could still make you think. At the end, I liked the main characters performance and sometimes I felt their emotions and even cried.

I went to see the movie with my parents and when we left the theater, we had a nice conversation about its topics which later on, turned into us... it made us reflect about our personal lives and troubles and made us think in possible solutions.

It gave us much more than just entertainment for 2 hours.

This movie caused such an impact on mine and my husband's lives. It shows how quickly a relationship can deteriorate. Once you start disrespecting each other and start competing against each other, things can get out of hand too quickly. It was such an eye-opening experience to see what type of a future awaits if one loses respect and lacks communication in a marriage. Such tragedy to see something so dramatic happen to these two people to make them realize what they were doing to each other and to their child. Kids are so sensitive to what parents are going through and one should never underestimate their role in all of this. Get out your Kleenex box and get comfortable, you are in for what could be... a life changing experience!

This Mexican movie is very realistic, I thought it goes so deep into the marriage problems, how the couple deal with really bad problems. I watched and I remember I stopped eating because some parts are really strong, I felt so bad when I watch some scenes. I think, and like I said, I heard that in Mexico just like in many countries it is very common to see marriage problems, especially for violence, it was all about respect, that was the key why these two persons hurt each other so much, and they had to have a bigger problems or really bad thing happened to them to can realize they had to try harder to be good with themselves and to each other, I think this movie is pretty hard core, not for kids definitely. Watching it you can see what is wrong and what is worst.
