A great movie

I already saw this movie, I have even seen it in the movie theater when it was released, but, since it was a while back, I thought I might as well check it out again. Actually, I remember very well the 1st time I saw this movie. Indeed, back then, I was living in England and, I think after seeing the trailer, I thought it could be a cool movie. Eventually, it turned out to be even better that I expected and I was really blown away by the damned thing. Basically, it was one of the strongest directorial debuts I have seen and, from this point on, I became a huge fan of Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's work. In fact, even though Inarritu became one of the most interesting directors at work nowadays and even though he kept making some great movies, this movie is still my favorite one. Indeed, the story was just spellbinding, the acting was pretty good (Gael Garcia Bernal was just starting as an actor back then) and of course, the directing was quite impressive. Indeed, for a directorial début, Inarritu displayed some amazing confidence. Concerning the 3 tales displayed, the 1st one was the best and, as far as I was concerned, they could have focused the whole  movie on this part. Back then, the 2nd one seemed to be the least effective but, after rewatching after all these years, I really liked the contrast it gave. Indeed, it was focusing on the rich people living in Mexico city while the 1st part was focusing on the less fortunate citizens of this city. When they crashed their cars, you realize that they actually live side by side even if they seem to live in some completely different world. Back in those days, there was not yet this overdose of hyperlink features and, at the time, I thought  it was just an amazing gimmick. Anyway, to conclude, I think it is really a masterpiece and it is probably one of my favorite movies.
