VHS Movie Reviews of Tizoc [VHS]
Movie Review: Excellent film, unsatisfying medium...
Summary: 4 Stars
The description line says "dubbed in Spanish"? As if it were another Hollywood movie prepared for the Mexican audience. Nothing like it. Instead, this is actually one of the most famous films of the classic Mexican golden age of motion pictures. Starring Mar?a Felix and Pedro Infante who sings three songs - it does not get much better than this.However, I am not going to buy these classics on VHS. The DVD medium has much more to offer, especially in languages. Some of Pedros classic movies are already out on DVD, and they give you the option to add Spanish or English subtitles to the film. As the technical quality of these films is not very good, and as much colloquial language and slang is used, the lines are sometimes hardly audible for a non-native Spanish speaker, so you will need the subtitles. If you know some Spanish, why not try reading the lines in the film's original language? Some of the DVD versions even include original trailers and "behind the scenes" footage. Check out "Los tres huastecos" for instance.
So come on people, let us keep telling companies to release the films on DVD, and THEN we buy them.
Movie Review: El indio y la mestiza
Summary: 5 Stars
English-In this passionate drama, Pedro Infante portrays one of his last memorable characters of the silver screen. Along with Mar?a F?lix and Andr?s Soler, unfolds the tale of a Mexican Indian peasant that falls in love with an upper-class maiden of mixed Spaniard and Mexican-Indian ancestry ("mestiza") who has withdrawn from her pre-Columbian roots. Raised in the culture of Hispanicized Mexico, she's foreign to the royalty and nobility of the people of rural Mexico, the dispossessed Indians. However, her father hates the natives and even goes to the extreme of seen them equal to animals. The plot unfolds when the "mestiza" begins to accept the humanity of the Indian named Tizoc and in return, the native learns that love is as strong as death. This was the last film by the Director/Actor duo Ismael Rodr?guez and Pedro Infante (which earned him the posthumous best actor award in the Berlin Film Festival of 1957). A true gem of the Mexican and world cinema.
Espanol-
En este apasionante drama, Pedro Infante realiza uno de sus ?ltimos personajes memorables de la pantalla. Junto con Mar?a F?lix y Andr?s Soler relata el cuento de un ind?o mexicano que se enamora de una mestiza mexicana alejada de sus ra?ces precolombinas. Crecida en la cultura del M?xico hispanizado, ignora la realeza y nobleza de la gente del campo, los indios. Sin embargo, su padre odia a los indios y va hasta el grado de concederles el lugar de animales. El trama se desenlaza cuando la mestiza empieza a concebir la humanidad del indio Tizoc y en cambio el indio aprende que el amor es tan fuerte como la muerte. La ?ltima pel?cula del duo director/protagonista Ismael Rodr?guez y Pedro Infante (la cual le gan? el premio p?stumo de major actor en el festival de cine en Berl?n de 1957). Una verdadera joya del cine mexicano y del cine mundial.
Movie Review: Maria Felix & Pedro Infante
Summary: 5 Stars
The great Mexican director Ismael Rodriquez brought two idols of the Mexican screen together during the mid 1950's, Maria Felix and Pedro Infante, to create an instant classic. This is an excellent film that was filmed in the mountanious area of Oaxaca with magnificent footage of the natural beauty. Pedro Infante is Tizoc, a naive Indian peasant who has a penchant for animals but kills them for their hides with his primitive heaving of a stone in a sling method. His accuracy is astounding and makes the other Indians jealous and he becomes the butt of their jokes and all the other villagers seem to dislike this very likeable character. His accuracy eventually wins the favor of the rich merchant who buys his hides but not before his daughter arrives from Mexico City. The lovely Maria Felix is the rich mans daughter and immediately notices Tizoc. Tizoc meets her and runs away because he thinks she is the virgin Mary come to life from the statue in the church. He gives his simpleton explanation to the priest who scoffs at his story and takes him back and convinces him it is only a resemblance. Tizoc is heroic in his quest to prove his love for Maria Felix. The story proceeds with many touching moments as the two stars strike up a tragic love affair. If you speak Spanish the original language version is preferred over the dubbed version, there is always something lost in a translation. This was Pedro Infante's second to the last film made and earned him a postumous award for best male actor in the Berlin Film Festival. He is terrific and even sings three songs, a twist on the singing cowboy, he is the singing Indio. The film also won the Ariel(Oscar) in Mexcio for best picture and music. One of the highlights is the cinematography which captures the colors of the folkloric clothes worn by the Indians. The "costumes" are magnificent and an added bonus to an epic love story between rich and poor, that crossed social and ethnic lines. Tizoc's speech and perceptions of the world are priceless and worth the cost alone of this classic of Mexican cinema.Movie Review: Tizoc
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent portray of the Mexican indian of those times, Pedro Infante's acting is superb, very heart touching simple philosophy of the indian called Tizoc.
