A night in the city...

Of course is bohemian. Usually, the gangs are not aware of the poetry of Jorge Manrique, Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer or Francisco de Quevedo, to mention some of the autors paraphrased in the movie. To be a little fair in this subject, it is possible that the gangs of the sixties knew some poems of José Martí because his condition of "Cuban rebel" linked him to the communist revolution, very popular in those days.

The reason why Julissa is that intersted in the night life is because she's olny looking for new things to have fun with. The guys are interesting for her because they are completely different to everything she knows. So, I find believable her character as a rich girl learning the rules of a world she's not familiar with.

I have to confess I liked the movie, but some parts are really annoying, especially the "message" of the movie: "the poor people have their own ways to have fun, but they're not bad, just misundestood" (melodramatic as a Mexican soap opera).

The thing that most impress me when I'm watching "Los caifanes" (A movie about young, bohemian and rebel "muchachos") is that one year after it's theatrical release, the youth of México was massacred in Tlatelolco.

Can you remember the scene where they are taking a breakfast the next morning and a soldier is just there watching while two of them fights for the gorgeous Paloma (Julissa)?
One year later that soldier wouldn't be only watching...
