Enamorada

A batallion of Mexican revolutionaries comes into a Mexican town and the leader of the band falls for the daughter of the of the town's wealthy class.

There must be some symbolism in there, but it's not transmitted very deftly.

The movie is mostly somber. There are a few pieces of questionably convoluted political dialogue as the characters argue with each other and plenty of executions by firing squad. What struck me most about the film is the fact that there are some real lapses in tone, such as when the general flies off a horse or a scene where there's some slapstick with a log.

The romance is not very well-developed. The guy catcalls the woman and she slaps him... and slaps him and slaps him... And he keeps pursuing her until she gets with him. Nevertheless, as with most of these old Ariel winners, it was probably meant to be a symbolic and not realistic movie - the poor and the rich finding peace with each other. But it's not particularly well-done.

It's a little better than the standard fare for the era and certainly watchable, but nothing special. Good battle scenes, though!

Honourable Mentions: White tiger (2021). A film about the plight of the poor at the hands of the cruel rich. Excellent movie.
