Review of Macario

Such a weird and unnatural film. It seems very odd to me that the poor children instead of sharing the last bits of their food with each other they try to grab as much as they can each for themselves. They don't even care if their father gets a single bite, they're not even thankful if their father gives his last bite to them. They just eat it like pigs and demand more... But the worst part of it, is that they leave some food for the dead to "eat". I understand that it is their culture and religion even, but if they really believe all this, they should also believe that their ancestors see them struggle so they wouldn't mind at all if the family ate the food which was supposedly be left for them. And all that is just the beginning of the film... I admit it does get more interesting later on with it turning "supernatural", but I have no idea what's the point of it all. It doesn't seem that the protagonist had learned anything from all what has happened to him, neither does it even seem to matter if he did...
