The wedding party scene would have been better had they not HAD TO show them have sex (second time in this sixth part)
It would have been much better had they just ended dancing, as the part started.
Argentine movies are trying SO HARD to be novel and original you can see/feel it.
Also, why all of a sudden, the bomber's family now approves of him again?
Still, and I dont particularly think so, even if they were trying they would still be more original than anything out there right now...
shareYou might be right.
I just think the wedding party would have been perfect without the f*ing at the end.
Thats when the Argentines were desperately trying to be cooler than Hollywood...
What do you think of La mujer sin cabeza (The Headless Woman)?

jajaja...podrías hacer parte de la peli. Pero concuerdo. Cualquiera que diga que esta pelicula (o los argentinos) está tratando de ser más arriesgados que todos, no ha visto a gente como gaspar noe o algunos bodrios gringos. Los gringos son los mas arriesgados de todos y el 90% de las veces con pésimos resultados.
shareGaspar Noé es argentino jaja
shareI agree it tried a little too hard at the end, but by that point I had bought in. I appreciated the fact the filmmaker was willing to do whatever it took to make the weirdest and most unusual wedding story EVER.

And all's fair in love and war?
MRS. BAILEY
[primly] I don't know about war.
I have to disagree. The primary subtext of the film is that revenge always escalates to the point that it hurts everyone involved.

I disagree. Your theory applies to some of the vignettes, but not all.
For example, the demolition engineer's vengeance made him a folk hero and saved his marriage and family. The widower's revenge on the grounds keeper solved all of the father's problems (his son got off the hook and he didn't have to pay a dime to anyone). And the bride's vengeance on her husband and his lover apparently saved their marriage.
Really? The last scene should be them dancing and her resting her head on his chest? You would have prefered that cheesy ending? Completely out of tone with the rest of thr stories? Did you even get the film?
shareThe ending was out of tone as well...
shareNo, it wasn't. It's a black comedy. They *beep* in front of everyone was funny an unexpected.
shareIt fits with the comedy part but the other stories had revenge-theme. Now, i know she had her little revenge in the middle of the story but from my point of view it wasn't the ultimate ending. You could say i expected something else, so it was unexpected, one point to you. Still i was left with this feeling that it was kind of a lame ending.
shareI liked the final vignette, even with the sex.
After you've sat through half-a-dozen cookie cutter wedding receptions, a completely bat-crazy like this one would be a relief.
That scene spoiled The entire movie for me. The plane one was the best.
shareWhat man in his right mind would ever touch a petty disgusting bride like that especially after witnessing her pathetic attempts at revenge...
Is it really such a normal thing in the west for your bride to attempt to do all she is humanly capable of to inflict the maximum pain upon you at the slightest downturn of events that the viewers seem completely oblivious to her pure evil nature ?.. Some even go on to find humorous elements in it. I guess the majority of western men are now completely castrated in mind and conduct through decades of feminist indoctrination by their state and society...
It Did make you wonder what he had to put up with during their courtship and no wonder he cheated.
But then she was talking out of her arse because he never cheated during their marriage only she did and on their wedding day, at the party no less.
he had a witness, two if he could convince the cook to testify.
If either decided to divorce and given the gender bias in courts towards wives there's too much evidence even then against her that she wouldn't get a penny, in fact might even have to pay him if Argentine courts aren't as biased against men as in the western world.
Neither were likeable but there was something smallminded and petty with her.
So, in order not to be a "petty, smallminded" girlfriend/wife, what would she had had to do? I guess to cancel everything and go cry to her hotel room/house/whatever. I guess that's what I, as a woman, would have done, but she went completely crazy, like some other people in the film, because she was in an extreme situation and couldn't handle it. She was mad. And the fact is that I could understand her madness: imagine that the person you love, the one that you just married and want to be with him/her forever has been cheating on you for months before the wedding. And that the other party is there, having fun and talking to him (and all his friends know). It's the ultimate humiliation! I don't care if they weren't married before, infidelity is something that can utterly destroy your identity, your hope, everything. For me, at least. Of course she behaves horribly and is crazy, but this is not the first time I find people (mostly men) saying that all women are like that, that they all should expect that from her brides... and I want to cry for humanity, really. I haven't read yet a woman saying that he (the groom) deserves that and more because he cheated. Really, I haven't.
shareThank you! I thought exactly the same (concerning the last seconds of the movie). I was pretty disappointed with the fact that they started making out in front of all the guests.
I'm not a big fan of soft happy ends but the movie was exhausting me really much in the last act and it was escalating so much during the wedding party that I was so glad that it turned out like it did in the moments before they started making out. It was a propitiatory end and I liked it until the moment I realized that they would have sex.
Nevertheless.. a great movie. The only flaw (and it's a big one) in my eyes.
