The Diego reveal (SPOILERS)


I thought from the start that Diego was Mateo/Harry's son, and not in a hunch kind of way, I thought it was established as such. I was under the impressions Mateo/Harry and Judit were ex-husband and wife and had had a kid together. Did anyone else feel this was established in the beginning?

reply

While it wasn't completely established, I feel it was kind of danced around. I never thought Judit was Mateo's ex husband, but I wasn't sure what she was. I knew there was something more then just coworkers.

I didn't see that coming. But does anyone think that Judit killed Lena? She looked incredibly jealous throughout the film and may have been capable of doing just as much harm as Ernesto Sr.. After all, her son was very ill and his father took off with a mistress...

reply

Yes i also it was assumed he was his son, so was quite underwhelmed when it was the "big" reveal.

reply

I agree, it wasn't really that big of a reveal. The way Judit is first introduced, she acts like a jealous/unamused ex when she finds the young woman with Mateo/Harry. So we (the audience) first thing Diego is their son. Then we are lead otherwise, so when the reveal happens, its not much of one. But maybe it wasn't really meant to be shocking or a true surprise. That's okay too.
