Richard Corliss of TIME magazine talks about not one movie in particular, but the movies of the Mexican director's Alejandro González Iñárritu, for Babel, Guillermo del Toro, for Pan's Labyrinth, and Alfonso Cuarón, for Children of Men. The article discusses the Ideological impact these three Mexican directors have on Hollywood. Corliss talks about how American movies aren't as good as the once were, or that the lot of American movies aren't that great. These three directors were up for many Oscars for their movies, especially Pan's Labyrinth, and Corliss believes that the Mexican directors, or other countries in general might be ready to change the American movie scene.
"Babel, Pan's Labyrinth and Children of Men, like any wildly ambitious films, have their detractors. For this critic, only del Toro's works completely. But all three films can boast daring political positions and a strong, racing pulse. These movies move. And so, ever upward, do the restless careers of our three caballeros. I'd like to think they're the future of movies."
