“My journey has been very free. I’ve been able to work in different parts of the world and on projects that don’t necessarily obey a typical journey of a person that wants to be famous or work in film. I want young actors to know you don’t have to follow a set line to have a career. Sometimes the line is drawn for actors from the English language. But in my case I can reinvent myself all the time.” — Gael García Bernal (Total Film, 07/2021)

"It’s an interesting time, no? When I started to work, Mexican cinema was at its lowest point. There were only 6 films done that year when I made Amores Perros. And 50 years before, there were like 200 films made each year. Little by little, it started to get back. Among the many opportunities that allowed me, the most important one was that I’m able to play in Spanish and to perform with bigger dimensions and more complexity. English-speaking studio movies were an option as a nice alternative, but I also worked in Spain, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Peru, France, and Italy. After COVID, the film experience has changed. Who knows where this will lead for me or for anyone. " x

Things That Nerds Notice or, an Exercise in Procrastination
I deeply appreciate moments in film or television that seem to call out to other moments in an actor’s filmography, intentional or not.
Gael García Bernal has had this happen twice, that I’ve noticed, but this is my favorite:
Amores Perros (2000)
and
Mozart in the Jungle (2015)
Coincidence? Maybe. Probably.
But I find it interesting that this particular episode of Mozart in the Jungle (s02e06) also heavily featured Emilio Echevarría, who was also one of the three main roles in Amores Perros.
Anyway, this has been Things That Nerds Notice.
