4/10
absurdly entertaining, but nothing else.
22 March 2011
This movie was certainly entertaining as the audience gets to watch a crazy man act absurdly pretending to be someone else. The soap-opera-type of drama and acting adds another layer of things that make the viewer smile. The main character Santiago takes on a Don Quijote-like persona, living his life as though he were actually Simón Bolívar. The irrationality of it all makes it hard to take the film seriously. Perhaps there is some sort of message or theme to the movie, but the ridiculousness of everything is too distracting to allow any long lasting impressions to stick with the audience. The light, nonchalant nature of this movie makes it accessible to any sort of audience.
