7/10
Neo-realist masterpiece

Warning: Spoilers
Los Olvidados was a great film about the trouble-making lives of Mexico City boys and their different paths deeper into delinquency for some and further away for the others. Pedro is what seems to be the main character arc of the story, with his hesitance from the beginning to be a contributor in the rude antics of the boys. Jaibo is the worst out of all the boys, actually killing another boy at one point in the story. The symbolism of the neo-realist dream in the middle of the movie is apparent in comparison to the rest of the movie, with direct parallels to the storyline with the symbolic parts of Pedro's dream. This was a great piece of work of Bunuel's.
