Y tu mama tambien

I am at odds on how I feel about the film. One part of me feels its wrong to turn my head and to think that this behavior is not happening in our country as well as others. On the other hand is it typical to be at the extreme that the movie portrayed? I believe a large problem is the breaking down of the family unit. The boys in the film had no family guidance. We live in such a fast paced world we find the children raising themselves and lets face it if they are raising themselves they will act as they did in the film and worse.
As far as depicting spanish culture from the film, not so much. Some with the family on the beach. The mother told Luisa as she fed the baby that she would make a good mom she had the touch. I'm sure this sadend her because she knew she was dying.
I did not see the end of the film but was filled in at work, a good part about the ending is both boys went to college and one would hope would learn like we all do from our mistakes.
