7/10
As exaggeration and fanaticism stains everything

In my humble opinion Camino is a great movie, even if it has sections that are not too good, but it is too bathed in ideology that makes it as it progresses, to tire the viewer.

I explain what I said. It's a good movie, that can not be discussed, you believe it, the actors are, most of them very well, tell a story that comes to you and excites you. The problem is beyond. Technically, for my taste, the photo is quite bad, the realization I do not like, because it does not come out of the foreground except to go to general without reason, the assembly is not good either, because it places at the beginning the end, with what when You see again at the end, for me loses strength.

Now I go to the exaggeration part that spoils everything. Is anyone able to tell me if any characters in the film, who are religious, are morally acceptable? Respecting the girl of course, do not go to be put a complaint to put the girl as a bad person, in addition you have to make your character wonderfully charming so that you feel sorry when you die. What he does not resist is to make him, despite his young age, very exciting, he puts it with a beautiful hair and bad hair very bet and when dancing is elegant to satiety. I am an atheist by the grace of God, as Camilo José Cela would say, for many years, however in this film, I get tired of seeing that the believing characters are bad guys and the not so believers are good. The example is in the father and the mother. The mother, everything makes it morally unacceptable and the father who is not so believer is a good person.

In this film, he steals himself with a knife when talking about the Christian religion, the believers, the rich, the privatization of health. There are several examples and I put a few. At first the priest tells the mothers to choose the friends of the children, the end in a box where the sister is locked there is a box with prohibited books, when the young priest talks to the girl's father, with the window open And an exaggerated sun that burns the image, has the light on, the priest tells him to take him to private healing, which is better and treat you better, said in the mouth of this character is how to stab it. When the older sister goes to see the aunt to get the money, she shows a wealthy person, like no bad guys and they quickly have to go and the aunt tells them they already have what they want.

I could continue to put examples of how being so radical makes the movie tired, I get tired of always seeing a lousy look of some and very good of others.

Spoiler:

I think he could have made a good movie if he had not let himself be carried away by his ideology as exaggeratedly as he has. It's a movie that comes to you and excites you and even tires you to an atheist
