#gael garcía bernal #también la lluvia #ggb filmography gifs #gael garcia bernal #this is luis tosar (and juan carlos aduviri)'s film really (although gael has lots of screen time and second billing) #just in terms of who gets the biggest character arcs #touches on racism / colonialism / what narratives survive in history / impact of imf and world bank / employment relations and ethics #filmmaking / creative obsession / idealism vs. pragmatism vs. actual human relationships #plus water rights and grassroots protests obviously #there is an interesting interview on youtube with icíar bollaín #obviously when you're making a film that deals with the ethics of filmmaking there are certain expectations #also the very first version of the screenplay years earlier was for the film that they are shooting within this film #and then the stuff about bolivia and about shooting the film got added later in subsequent iterations of the script #side note i love how the film they are making plays out in sebastián's head when he's reading the script or shooting individual setups #of course this took $5.8 million at the box office while letters to juliet took $80 million #no one ever said life was fair #not that i'm still bitter about letters to juliet #(i am totally still bitter about letters to juliet)
