A view over the differences.
Y Tú, cuánto cuestas? (So, what's your price?), it seems to be the constant over this excellent documentary work, performed by Olallo Rubio, a young Mexican director. The movie shows two faces of the same issue: the American influence in the Mexican culture. you will remain thinking after the movie ends. Everything has a price? Everybody has a price?, so, What's your price?. Strong and ancient differences between two distant-neighbor countries are discussed under each opinion. Both Mexican and American-common persons give its particular point of view about the other, but also about themselves. Developed with a extremely low budget, but with inventive and imagination, this movie shows many of the key aspects in the Mexican-American relationship. However, the movie is not just a compilation of statistics, the producers manage to make it fun too. That's one of it's good points. But never the only one. Well developed, absolutely recommendable. You have to see it.
Uncomfortable but necessary
This multi-layered low budget film makes a lot of Mexicans feel uncomfortable, truth hurts and Mexico is not used to this kind of material. So, what's your price (title in English) is a complex documentary which uses the language of TV and modern electronic media against the Mexican institutional power structures. I saw this at school and as soon it was over the whole class was discussing the subjects that were included in the film: Oil reserves, Drugs, TV, Media manipulation, racism, etc. It left me thinking about myself and my country, and I had a lot of fun too! This documentary is actually funny! I loved it.
A great Mexican film!
I saw this film in Central Park! Last Summer. I have to say I loved it!! It's smart, witty and fun. The opinions of the people in it reveal a lot about both Mexican and American cultures. Sad and harsh at times but with a hopeful message at the end, this movie is a warning on how our money driven society it's bound to fail. I guess some of the people in this forum didn't understand it... They saw themselves reflected maybe? or maybe the structure was too sophisticated?? I think it's a wonderful essay on media, money, power and ignorance among other important subjects. We need to speak about this things. Now more than ever!!!
A documentary that doesn't go anywhere
Sure, the poster seemed promising. Unfortunately, what you saw in the poster was pretty much it. I don't know what this documentary is trying to prove. It shows some mock infomercials that look like they wan't to make a point about morality, but it's just not there. The interviews just make you feel sad about how much stupidity there is in both sides of the river. The subjects are incredibly unrelated. What does Coke have to do with cloning? Or the "Euro vs. Dollar" fake trailer with organ donning? This film has no thematic unity. It's just a stream of consciousness that draws too many questions and too few answers. And, regarding your price, the movie doesn't tell you, not even show you how to calculate your price. They just say how much do body organs cost, which in turns is ridiculous to say, since nobody's going Frankenstein building a living person and shopping for different body parts. With basically one narrator, the information is bombarded at you with kinetic typography so you blindly swallow anything he says. There are no sources, no statistics, not even specialists opinions. So, were this two hours of my life a documentary about slavery? Organ traffic? A message against cloning? Does it say to illegal immigrants that they should stay in their own country or seek better opportunities elsewhere? Will the cream that turns your skin black ever be made? Will we finally see "Coyote Airlines"? I don't know! This man, Olallo, is a mediocre director and a hack researcher. He tries to sound intellectual, but his opinion is as sourced and mature as all the mixed nuts he's interviewed. Trust me, the poster itself is enough to make it's point. The rest is a jumble of ideas that won't be worthy of your attention and won't make a tangible conclusion. It doesn't even make you draw your own conclusion. Basically, IT SUCKS! (and I'm Mexican).
What a waste of celluloid
A complete piece of garbage. Please avoid at all costs. This gives the Mexican cinema a bad name, a string of poor, random interviews, random statements based on no real sources, and a poor narrative outline this film. At best an internet project, at its worst, a complete waste of time and money. This film tries too hard to be a Mexican counterpart to a Michael Moore film, but without the investigation or fact finding needed to defend its being. Olallo was a great DJ, and has a very recognizable voice, but his film work needs to develop before pitching another project. A clear example of the old phrase "Its not what you know, but who you know". Better luck next time.
