Friendship. However I must say the movie didn't describe friendship very well I think as I know friendship. What I got from this film is: hitting on your best friend's girlfriend wouldn't compromise your friendship but hitting on your best buddy himself WOULD so don't drink and bunk with your best friend. It was all about sex like the characters' lives all thrive on sex. it was like watching a soft-core porn.
If it was intended to be a gay movie, I think it would be an interesting movie. Like the idea of two guy best friends sharing everything and doing everything together ended up liking each other, unconsciously.. but they can't because they are not gay...yet.
But, I don't think this was a gay movie. So..
I heard later that this movie wanted to tell us about anti-globalization. Have to see it again to understand I guess.
Alfonso Cuaron got it right. He made a teen sex comedy, a road movie, and a coming of age story all rolled into one. And it works, very well. The cinematography is fantastic, like Cuaron's other work in Children of Men and Prisoner of Azkaban, and the thematic elements of the movie beg for interpretation of the film's underlying meaning. The one thing that hold's Y Tu Mama Tambien (in a way) is its sexuality. I, myself, had no problem with it, and it was necessary to shape the characters and the narrative. However, I cannot imagine that I would be comfortable watching this movie with anybody for fear of an awkward feel in the room on par with when I watched Boogie Nights with my little brother.
On the surface, this is a fun, sexy road movie, but there is so much more to it than that, both emotionally and as a social commentary. The complicated relationship between the three main characters is certainly entertaining, but tragic, too, and the talented actors have no trouble showing both sides of it. A voiceover will also occasionally cut in to inform us of the past, present, and future of major and minor characters alike, making us feel for the "unimportant" characters that most people would overlook in the movies, and maybe even in real life. Alfonso Cuaron forces us to both think and feel things we normally wouldn't.
Interesting film. The story is touching, and the acting is great! Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal are wonderful as the horny and confused teenagers. The sex was very explicit, which I didn't expect, but that really made the emotions feel as if you were in that experience (weird, but effective). Overall, a great film!
