Y Tu Mama Tambien

American teenagers have a reputation for being self centered and being concerned only about what they want and this seemed to be the same in this film. The teenagers did not appear to have caring parents who spent time with them. Unlike the other films which showed the Hispanic culture to be very famiy oriented, this film showed teenagers to be very self oriented. They made many poor choices regarding promiscuious activity, drinking and drugs. They did not seem to have any concern for morals and even broke their manifesto. They seemed to care about "feeling good" and what pleasures were available for the moment. They seemed to get bored very easily and did not have any jobs or responsibilities over the summer. This seemed to allow them more freedom, to leave for several days looking for heavens mouth. This also lead to more trouble. Luisa was a difficult character to understand. The film talked about the quiz she took in a magazine which said she had morals and was independent. She was not described as independent when talking about the entertaining she and Jano did. She said she felt out of place with the conversations, and wanted to ask if they could name all the teeth in the correct order. I also wondered if she traveled with the teens because she was dying. It briefly mentioned the doctors office and at another part it showed her not really sleeping and said she was afraid. I found this movie very crude and difficult to watch.
