无冕 之王

简介

Back in the mid 1900's Mexi co
  was proud to have
more world boxing champions  in the small ca te gor
 ies,
 than any  other Country. Boxing was perha


ps

 one of the few opportunities where a typica
l low income Mexican
(7 5% of th 
e populati
on)could have success in life. Kids st arted boxing in their ghettos, a
 few  of 
them made it to the Pro's  and  an even fewer amoun
t   got to be famous and earn go od money 
 from it. 
Those th at got to the top soon found out
  that suddenly they 
had a great amo unt of people that surrounded them a
n d helped them spend th eir money.  Bu t immersed in th
eir n
ew life styles  they

c ould ne  ver le
ave  their o
rigin s an d find a better future 
f or them. This is what "Campeon
 sin Coro na&quot
;  tries to convey; a boxer that even when he h as succeeded c an not l
ive up to his new status  and p
refers to be the same l
oser he w as in his ea 
rlier
years. The

re may  no  t  be in
 the Mexican Movies Industry a picture that better d isplays the way of thinking and acting  of  the vas

t majority of Mexicans of the 20th Century.
