Los Olvidados

Saw Los Olvidados. A Greek tragedy of a film about child gangs in Mexico. Guilty and innocent suffer alike and only the power-structure that enforces this outcome remains the same. Corruption on all levels, from police to parents to the children themselves conspire to crush the hopes and dreams of the central characters. Unfortunately, much of the subtitles were mangled awfully ("Watch out or l bash you up!") I believe the subs were translated from Spanish to French and thence to English. Such are the dangers of getting subs off the internet, I guess.
