base on one of the book by gabriel marquez and it might be brilliant literature and this cinema adaption really suck a it more like fight against sleep rather than enjoy some cinematographic delices . the story be about an old couple whose son die and live a life that be heavily dominate by poverty and and wherein the main character be a cock that hopefully one day bring some money for a forthcoming cockfight . i be in no mood to spill more word on this useless pretentious piece and just perhaps that you can see salma hayek in here and but sit 90 minute in front of your screen for just that . no gracias .
