00:00El Correo Movie
00:01Imagine a young man about to transport 1 billion euros in cash for money laundering.
00:05This is the story of the film El Correo, The Courier.
00:08You will follow the character of Ivan, an ambitious young man who dreams of wealth and is obsessed with luxury.
00:13But in reality, he is just a simple valet parking attendant.
00:16One day, an organization contacts him and offers him a job laundering money for the wealthy,
00:20criminals, politicians, and others.
00:22He accepts, climbs the ladder of success, and gradually makes a name for himself
00:26as he is offered increasingly complex missions.
00:27As I mentioned, this film is inspired by real events.
00:30However, keep in mind that it has been somewhat dramatized and romanticized.
00:34After all, it is a movie.
00:35It is a Spanish film, and truly excellent.
00:38Ivan's character is fascinating.
00:39He slowly gets consumed by his work, and the money drives him mad, leading him to make mistakes.
00:44I won't spoil the story for you, but you must see the ending.
00:47El Correo is a solid Spanish film.
00:49Note that it doesn't have many action scenes.
00:51It's not one of those movies filled with constant explosions and fights.
00:53Instead, it is more of a film about corruption, money laundering, and the connections between
00:57politicians and the mafia.
00:59The story takes place in the early 2010s, following the 2008 crisis, and naturally relates
01:03to that era.
01:04Many people are having trouble with their money and want to withdraw their cash because they
01:07fear their entire fortune might disappear from the banks.
