...Bernal’s character, Tato, crooning a Spanish cover of Cheap Trick’s “I Want You to Want Me,” complete with an accordion and cowboy outfit against a karaoke green screen. “I read through the script, and I came to a point that [Tato] wasn’t working,” Cuarón said. The script went through multiple revisions to give Tato a more comical desire to use soccer to fuel his fantasies of a successful musical career. “His secondary passion...
...stage the musical. The resulting production calls for college students to play college students, which allows for a greater overlap of fiction and reality than most plays. “We cast people who were already sort of their characters,” Reddout says.

...Hollywood found a great backdrop for its movies, it also fell in love with South Africa's stories. The end of apartheid narrative in particular - an epic of racist repression that climaxes in a transcendent moment of redemption under an iconic leader - is a movie script made real. And Hollywood has shot that script over and over again. In 2004, Samuel L. Jackson and Juliette Binoche made In My Country about the Truth and Reconciliation Commission hearings in the mid- to late '90s, and Hilary Swank starred as an attorney representing a black South African political activist seeking amnesty...
