Rudo y Cursi
Tato “Rudo”, played by Gael Garcia Bernal and Beto “Cursi”, played by Diego Luna, are half-brothers working at a banana plantation in a poor Mexican town.While they both wish to escape their simpler lives, an opportunity arises for Tato to tryout for one of the big teams in Mexico city and become their striker. His brother Beto soon follows him and becomes a goalkeeper for another football team and now have to face each other far away from home and playing for rival teams.
While the movie’s main theme isn’t entirely focused on football, it is also about family, rivalry, the Mexican narco-society and how the fast life can lead someone to the wrong path. Plus, you’ve got the Three Amigos (Alfonso Cuarón, Alejandro González Iñárritu and Guillermo Del Toro) producing it, what’s not to like!
