I'm Gonna Explode

i adore this film BUT....
I get a pleasing sensation watching Marie Deschamps and Jean Pablo de Santiago for over an hour because they really do have beautiful faces and very cool personalities That thing Roman does with the red and white stocking pulled down to his nose, as a hat, with eye-holes scissored out is adorable. Marie Deschamps looks like a young Marie Schneider.

Maru is surrounded by bulls******* people seem to fall short of her deeps and sensabilities always. Roman is still freaked out about his mother's death. He's the rich kid with a credit card instead of parental attention .However i still found the father and his girl-friend full of accountability. It's just that their world has no room for the needs of a developing teen.. He has psychotic fantasies to deal with his frustrations.but nothing truly disturbed. Maru wants a relationship that transcends the superficiality surrounding and excluding her. Roman has a void inside. These are their pivots acting like magnets.It's full of...

Teenage Romance Or Rage Against The Machine? Rebellions And Tantrums Under The Mexican Sun
The creative team behind the interesting "Drama/Mex" continues its quest to prove that there is no such thing as a healthy, well-adjusted teenager in Mexico! "I'm Gonna Explode" unite two such disaffected youths in a drama of alienation, co-dependence, and romance on the run. But whether you view the couple as true rebels or as simply brats (and I might make a case either way)--"I'm Gonna Explode" taps into some real feelings of angst. And like "Drama/Mex," "I'm Gonna Explode" asks the viewer to regard the young protagonists in a sympathetic light even if their bad acts and selfishness might not always warrant compassion. Ah, but the foibles of youth!

"I'm Gonna Explodes" introduces Roman, the privileged son of a local congressman. Roman's trauma stems from the death of his mother and the blame that he places firmly on his father's shoulders. With homicidal fantasies, including a brutal opening sequence, it's hard to immediately get behind the sullen character...

Excellent teenage drama from Mexico
I was looking for a good foreign movie to watch and when I was browsing the foreign movie section at my local library (here in Blue Ash, suburban Cincinnati, which has tons of great foreign movies in its collection), I fell upon this. Didn't really know much about it but boy, I am glad I picked this up.

"I'm Gonna Explode" (104 min,; originally released in Mexico in 2008; finally released on DVD in the US in 2010) brings the story of HS outcasts Ramon and Maru, who find each other by happenstance and immediately click. They run away, causing Ramon's dad, a highly-regarded politician, to start a search for the teenagers. As it turns out, the teenagers have set up camp (literally) on top of Ramon's (hence dad's) mansion. Sparks fly between Ramon and Maru. They feel like soulmates. But things eventually take a turn when they are found out, with dramatic consequences. You'll just have to see for yourself how it all plays out, and I guarantee that you won't be disappointed...
