I am a big fan of Vicente Fernandez both as an actor as well as his singing. I probably have watched all his movies and La ley del Monte as well as El Arracadas might be the best ones. La ley del Monte is a compilation of feelings and you can almost feel the character's suffering. It begins as a love story set in the Mexican Revolution years and it ends as something comparable to the best Novela (Mexican soap). Every time I watch it, which is often, I get the chills at the end when Vicente shows up in the middle of the party and the Mariachis start playing the song "La Ley Del Monte". This scene is intense and you can see the love in his eyes as he's crying while singing to his beloved. He then goes to fight after saying goodbye to his mentor who is also the town's priest, and he goes off to fight only to have a spectacular and breath taking death in a short yet amusing battle against the soldiers.
Worth watching.
