Doesn't matter if we understand politics or not, we can't ignore it. We are all taught in schools that Corruption is bad but later this corruption becomes our reality. We move on by complaining against corruption or accepting it. But here we have an option to sit back and enjoy the satirical comedy of this Mexican film "La Ley de Herodes".
Somewhere around 1940s in an interior village of Mexico, Juan Vargas (played by Damián Alcázar) an innocent & well behaved janitor of PRI (Partido Revolucionario Institucional- a political party of Mexico) was elected as a mayor to bring development & justice to the people of this village. Now begins the main politics where director Luis Estrada portrays how the system of corruption can change a normal person to a beast.
None other than Damián Alcázar can bring the character of this newly elected mayor so much real & entertaining to the audience. The story unfolds how this man transforms into a gruesome person & he himself becomes the law of society.
People from any part of the world can relate to the basic corrupted culture of politics that has been shown in this movie as no country exists without corruption. Even the sense of humor used to criticize the then ruling party of Mexico (PRI) is stupendous. Here in one interesting conversation, Eduardo López Rozas who plays the character of a doctor, asks an american "Do you think democracy is the solution of Mexico?".
To know the funny & satirical response watch the trailer below:
A MUST WATCH!!!
