If not, you could try in your spare time to learn about it, however i am not sure how much of reading could help you to understand what this is all about. In Mexico la lucha libre is a whole cult sport in which semi-fit and less-than-fit men fight against each other wearing customs. Over four decades ago, if i am not wrong, the cult for the luchadores (fighters) was so big that many films were made out of their adventures.
Yeah, fighters sci-fi films, such as El Santo Vs the Monsters, El Santo and Blue Demon agains the Vampire Women, El Santo Vs the Werewolf, etc. etc. I think that when I was a child, I spent the afternoons watching those films.
Ok, even if you haven't come across all this cheap sort of fun and nonsense, many other have. One of them seems to be Jack Black and the people who made 'Napoleon Dynamite' (which is a great film). They came with the idea of a Mexican-Scandinavian orphan who lives in a village or whatever marginal place in Mexico with some priests or monks. And in order to, perhaps, save their home, he becomes a fighter...'Nacho Libre', so I assume that it will be a kind of funny film with many touchy moments, in case it resembles the emotional style of 'Napoleon Dynamite'. Goodness me, will it bring memories from my childhood of watching luchadores films?
Ha, I don't think so, that is why i really want to see this.
