Bicentinario Mexico 2010

Mexico's 200th birthday is coming up in September. While doing preliminary research on locations to visit, I came across a few videos that blew me away.

Televisa (a Mexican media conglomerate) is currently promoting the country's bicentintinario by focusing on its many states. Each video focuses on a specific states. and its many ecological wonders. So far only 3 have been release: Tamaulipas, Chihuahua, and Sinaloa. The videos are breathtaking. The visuals, the music, the colors, the cinematography and the models combine to create one of the most beautiful domestic "tourism" videos I have ever seen. Calling them Tourism videos are actually a misnomer. I prefer to refer to them as works of art.

Motel - Y te vas

Motel has been a band that I have been listening to for about a year. They just dropped their newe record called 17 and it seems that they have developed a new sound. And I REALLY like it. Kudos to Motel!

This is one of my favorite songs from the album titled "Y te Vas" (If you leave)



They perfectly use alliteration throughout the song with the "j" sound which makes the song even more unique.

I have been waiting for this movie for a few months now........ Can't wait to see it....


About the movie:

Actor Gael García Bernal's directing debut is infused with an infectious, youthful energy, voyeuristically following his complex characters at a house party just outside of Mexico City.

Bourgeois, rich kid Cristobal (García Bernal) is having his friends over for a barbecue at his parents' weekend home. His younger sister (Camila Sodi) and her hippie, pill-popping friends are also staying at the house, and the clash between the two groups of friends, brother and sister, and their childhood friend who works for the family is just the beginning of the story.

Bernal uses subtle undercurrents of tension to seamlessly interlace characters, time and place. Both comic and reflective, DEFICIT is an elegant allegory for current Mexico on the brink of change. Shot in an immediate, improvisational style that emphasizes the class chasms, Bernal elicits layered performances from his young cast, proving himself to be a gifted director as well as a charismatic actor.
