Luis Buñuel’s Los Olvidados (1950) [The Forgotten Ones, AKA “The Young and the Damned”]“The Forgotten is a film by Luis Bunuel (1950), which narrates the story of teenagers influenced by the environment in which they live. The filmmaker makes a crude attempt at social criticism and draws the past and present Mexico. It is a desert vision of the world where a disposed youth lives and whose only alternatives are crime and migration, product of a hostile, aggressive, and violent society. The film is said to be a sociological treatise full of nuances that reflect the current reality of youth in Mexico and moves us to deep reflection that hurts right now, considering that young people have historically been major players of the forgotten social our country.” —Maria Teresa Prieto Quezada -- source link
