The wisdom of the central message is based in the antiquity of our interpretation of death. Even though Mexican culture humors Death, La Muerte, it has always been a very important aspect of our rituals. The mysticism we incorporate is based on our believe that death is only inevitable and we accept it as such. Macario is the prime example and the movie follows the book's story line flawlessly, while Ignacio Lopez Tarzo illustrates the average person's simplicity to the core. Inspiring movie.
