It's a beautiful look at a different culture filled with lots of love, food, football and stolen water heaters? Guillermo Del Toro On How He Balances The Dark With The Good: 'I'm Mexican' “I'm Mexican. No one loves life more than we do, in a way, because we are so conscious about death,” he said. “So the preciousness of life, standing side by side the one place we're all going to. Everybody in this planet boarded a train that was final destination: death. So the train, we're going to live, we're going to have beauty and love and freedom. And I think that when you eliminate one of the two sides from the equation, it's a pamphlet. When you take into account the dark to tell the light, it's reality.” Get early access to our live unedited podcast recordings by joining our PATREON community: https://www.patreon.com/thewhirlgirls Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...
