While western cinema has been gifted with wonderfull epics such as "The Godfather" and recent epics such as the "Lord of the Rings", often foreign films, though usually just as wonderfull, seem to come in singles. It's very rare to find a trilogy of epic proportions outside of the United States, but if there was ever a series of movies by any Mexican directory that can most definately be classified as an Epic, it's the trilogy of "Pepe el Toro" (Pepe the Bull).
Starring the late, great, Mexican actor/musician and songwriter, Pedro Infante, this trilogy tells the tale of a young Mexican boxer that went from rags to ritches and back to rags. This is not your typical cookie-cutter, rags to ritches and back story however, moreso, this is a sublime Shakesperean tragedy that reflects the apogee of Mexican cinema.
"Nosotros los Pobres", "Ustedes los Ricos", and "Pepe el Toro", is one of the finest trilogy of movies ever filmed, and no one, who considers themself a movie buff, should miss it. In true epic fashion, this movie will send you on a rollercoaster of emotions. It will bring you to tears and fill you full of joy, and make you profoundly think about those things in life we take for granted. It has romance, comedy, action, and drama, plenty of gripping, heart pounding drama.
Don't miss this gem.

Nosotros Los Pobres(1947, We The Poor)is a classic from director Ismael Rodriguez. Pepe El Toro(Pedro Infante)is framed for murder and thrown in jail! Pepe's "daughter" Chachita(Evita Munoz)and his paralytic mother have to try and survive without him. NLP is corny and soap opera-ish at times, but it's engaging, filled with colorful characters, and it has some heart and soul. I am amazed at how Rodriguez got some gruesome violence past the censors(Don Pilar brutally attacks Pepe's defenseless mother, a man gets stabbed in the eye, etc). The first time I saw Evita Munoz, she played a greedy, obese, fat woman in a funny, side-splitting India Maria movie from the 1980's. In NLP, she looked so cute and adorable as a child. She also did a good job in a demanding role. The late Blanca Estela Pavon looked so lovely and angelic in this film as Celia, Pepe's love interest. The film also does a nice job treating its female characters as human beings. Nosotros Los Pobres is followed by Ustedes Los Ricos(1948) and Pepe El Toro(1953).

This film is one of the cornerstones of film (and Novelas) in Mexico today, the culture portrayed in this film is a very rich dramatic development of the typical life of Mexicans. This reflects to an extent the culture in Mexico today, see it and you will understand better.
not to mention the best actor singer of all time in Mexico.
