“Y tu mamá también”

“Y tu mamá también”

“Y tu mamá también” was released in 2001. The movie was directed by Alonso Cuaron. The movie is about two teenage boys that are looking for an adventure. The boys’ names are Julio and Tenoch. These boys are about to lose their girlfriends because the girls are going on a trip to Italy. The boys decide to go on a trip to the beach. They decide to ask a woman named Luisa, who is Tenoch’s cousin’s wife. Luisa is in her late twenties. She says no at first but then decided to join them after finding out that her husband has been cheating on her. The boys really didn’t know how to get to this secluded beach, but were sure that they could find the way. They spend the car ride talking about their relationships and sexual encounters. Julio and Tenoch’s bragged about their manhood. Luisa just talked about her first love and how he had passed. One night at the hotel Tenoch goes into Luisa’s room and finds her crying. Luisa makes a move on Tenoch and they end up having awkward sex. Julio find out about this ends up telling Tenoch about having an affair with his girlfriend. Luisa doesn’t like all this tension between the boys so she decides to even the score by making a move on Julio. It doesn’t work and the boys get even more mad at each other until Luisa threatens them by saying she would leave. So when they finally get to the beach, they all have their time to relax. That night they all get drunk and start joking around with each other. All three of them have sex. In the morning, Luisa wakes up and decides to stay there to explore her options in life. The boys go back and end up breaking up with their girlfriends. At the end of the movie Julio and Tenoch find out that Luisa had cancer and that she had died a month after the trip. Luisa knew about it this whole time. Tenoch's walks away and they never see each other ever again.

“Y tu mamá también” has many themes. The film revolves around a love triangle, and friendship. Julio and Tenoch are great friends. In the beginning of the movie, they are willing to do anything together, but by the end of the movie they actually find out more about one another and they realize that they can both do better in life. Luisa didn’t really care if she messed with their friendship. It seemed like she just wanted one more bang before she had to leave. I’ve seen this movie a couple times. It still shocks me because it is full of controversy. I’ve seen this movie on documentaries such as “this film is not yet rated”. I just find the story to be a little insane. It is a great movie; I just wish it they could’ve gone more in depth with the character’s background information.
