Yo, adolescente (2019)
Argentina in 2005
As an Argentinian myself, I can't help but think that this movie is actually a really good representation of what being a teenager in 2005 was like. If you don't have a grasp of the culture, most of the little details get lost.
It's a great movie overall. Zabo is not a likeable character, and I think that's the point. He's reckless, he usually makes bad decisions, he played with a lot of people in his journey, among other things. He's flawed, just like all of us are. The fact that he is written to be a "normal teenager" is an extremely important aspect in the suicide prevention ad they're trying to make. It tries to portray that even a normal teenager, a person that loves and has things to do can even make that decision. The things he went through don't justify the way he acted throughout the movie, but it explains why he chose that path in the end.
