Esqueleto prays with his friend before the match, not because he really believes in it but because he supports him and knows it will mean a lot to him.
This final fight is what makes this movie so memorable. Yeah of course it’s funny but the movie’s memorable foundation lies in the heart of the message. Nacho at first fights for vanity but slowly realizes that through his success he can glorify God by giving the orphans a better life. Jesus was all about love and sacrifice. As soon as Nacho realizes that his passion can serve the orphans, he gets his first win. Throughout the whole movie he struggles in figuring this out but in the end he finally gets it. In the end of all of it, he says “we did it” instead “I did it”. This shows his growth and further demonstrates that a real purpose lies in your ability to serve the people that you love.
Finally a comment thats gets the premise of the film. Class film love its daftness, yet at the end becomes more than just a comedy. Its a story of selflessness and triumph over greed and want.
@@tuberaddict2000 And with those people id argue Jack did a better job showing off our culture, lives and passion more than anything Marvel or modern stuff has. This film has me screaming and hoping to see Blue Demon, El Santo, and Mil Mascaras make an appearance. I know they wont but that passion is there. That real feel is there. And the fact this was based off a real person adds that much more to it. Id argue for Jack and this movie any day of the week.
@@CustodianHadrian As a Christian myself, the key message of the film ("How do we reconcile the passions and desires God gives us with the rules and laws of religion") touches me very personally. I tear up a little when I think about how God made me and gave me my gifts & passions to use for his glory. That being true to myself and being righteous in his eyes are not opposed to each other, but that being the truest version of myself is actually honoring the way he designed me.
1:25 This match is strictly technical; no pulling your masks off, no pulling your clothes, no hits with closed fists; both of you are very good, give each other a handshake and may the best wins. They literally did everything the refferee warned them about not to do 😅
@@SilverScribe85 I think the moment Ramses ripped Nacho's mask off was when the rules were forfeit, which would explain why the referee allowed the pin to happen outside the ring.
It's so awesome how Nacho's partner stuck by him even tho they always lost, he was praying with him even tho he doesn't believe in God, and how happy he was when Nacho finally got his first win true friend right there
Because even the lowest of men can rise to the occasion for a good cause no matter how much dispare the power of self and God can make you do the impossible. Never forget hope is where mens true power lies
Nacho Libre is the greatest Christian film ever. The whole film is this one guy trying to justify his want for the glory and fame of wrestling through giving a bit of winnings to the orphanage - it's only in this scene, when after being humiliated by having himself unmasked, on the brink of being a loser, having lost his priesthood and about to lose, he is ready to give up - and then he sees the orphans and realises, he doesn't need pagan magic or fancy clothes to win. He just needs a reason to fight for a good cause. And in that moment he wins, and finds the "power of the eagle" to miraculous defeat Ramses (literally named after the slaver of Moses' people) and win knowing he does it for them and not himself. It's the perfect modern day story of the Holy Spirit doing miracles through people who themselves imperfect learn how to be selfless. Undoubtedly a massively underrated film.
And the depiction of god as a paternal older figure who is there to support you at the start and end of your journey instead of a wish granting deity is beautiful too. And the reference to the parting of the sea by moses in the form of the luchador with the mirrorying sea horses was nice too
4:25 that scene always get me sentimental, it has made me drop a tear more than once. Is such a beautiful moment that the kids and Encarnacion's support gave him strength to defeat Ramses.
I love "Religious Man"fading in as the Sister and the orphans show up to support Nacho and him getting the motivation to beat Rameses. "The Wrestler"ending didn't come close to how this made me feel!
Let’s not forget that he saved esqueleto from being homeless and hungry! He gave him a family and a home! That’s honestly on par with helping the orphans! Nacho was legit a good person
Indeed and it's ironic because the other priests didn't respect what he was doing. Yet he followed Christ's example of loving your neighbors better than any of them
@@grizzly_manbanimation8436 well WWE was still entertaining when this movie came out so maybe during that time it would’ve been super cool. Nowadays definitely not
@@chowda9326 Compared to Lucha Libre, WWE matches are always like they're in Zack Snyder slo-mo; not to mention that there's too much yelling between "athletes" and not enough actual wrestling. Luchadores meanwhile, let their moves do all the talking for them
I have a vague recollection that some lower card wrestler did a nacho libre style gimmick around the time of the movie but it never really took off and didn't last long - looking at the shape of Jack black I doubt he would want to be personally involved in any real matches,
Nacho libre history is for real!! There is a Mexican priest and the church was so poor with many kids with no parents so the priest in secret turned into luchador called "Fray tormenta" for gain resources and help the kids. Sorry for my English hehe.
The amount of heart this movie had was great…and yes I cried too. He did this for the little orphans and when she brought them to the match all dressed up like him….amazing. Of course the flying brought back the laughter
This scene gets me ready to run through a brick wall. When that flute starts playing it can motivate me to do just about anything. Whenever I’m down I watch this and think to myself “why not?”. I don’t know if it was by dumb luck or design but jack black made a hell of a motivational movie about being the underdog and seen as someone who has no worth but proves himself to be the the worthiest person of all. Love this film, love Jack black in it and I feel like he doesn’t get his flowers enough for what turned out to be a fantastic flick that I cannot stress this enough would not have worked without him.
I’m the biz they call that “ring awareness” and is one of the most important things to have. Means you can control the pace of a match and sell much better.
Brilliant ending to a comedy. It’s goofy, sure, but this scene in particular is perfect due to the fact that it holds the comedic elements, but adds an emotional depth that’s been growing throughout the film right under our noses. Jack Black being Jack Black helps, too.
I’m sure I’m not the only one that knows this but the actor who portrayed Ramses was a legitimate Luchador named Silver King. Which was a great casting choice by the studio who filmed this movie. The fact he has experience in the ring and knows techniques about Lucha Libre
I rewatched this movie a few days ago for the first time since it was released, and omg I appreciated it so much more as an adult than I did when I was a kid. Literally such an underrated movie
I think we all get teared up as adults since we.all fight or have fought for a loved one or a pure cause and have indeed felt that sudden burst of energy or willpower that made us pull through when the cause is just
FUCK I love Jack Black, there's a look of legitimate fear in his eyes as he's entering the venue. like, pause it at 5 seconds and look into his eyes. He's such a great performer. Also compare the music from the beginning of the match to the end, the dull, almost grim tones as he's walking in, compared to the triumphant horns after he's won.
I like the little details with this ending. When it's Nacho being full of himself when he gets an upper hand he's immediately knocked back down loosing. But once he sees the kids he sees the sister there, he's reminded why he's doing this. That's when he gains the strength to comeback. And to defeat Ramses with a crucifix pin of all things, chefs kiss.
As a Mexican, I'll never understand why some gringos thinks this is offensive, I think this is a good movie and a great tribute to the lucha libre culture. We don't need Justice Social Crybabies, Just an opinion of the actual culture of something like this
I moved to Guatemala with friends in 2005 until 2008 to do mission/humanitarian work. I took this movie, along with many others with me. Everyone, Gringos and Guatemalans, LOVED this movie! Some people are just misguided with their "political correctness" BS.
Not trying to speak for mexicans but im positive jack black playing nacho so amazingly is like RDJ in tropic thunder to black folks. Sometimes someone does such a great job and truly put in the time and effort to portray another race that its just universally beloved. I doubt any mexican actor coukd have done a better job with this role. Jack did it perfectly
One of the greatest endings to a movie always brings me to tears both Catholicism and Wrestling are staples of many Latinx households thank you Nacho Libre and Jack Black what a fun movie to watch.
Something about this movie manages to always move me emotionally, as stupid and silly as that shot of him flying across the ring with the eagle screeching it always manages to hit me in the heartstrings when his song comes up and he ultimately wins the day ❤
This movie has some deep lessons. Nacho always does what’s right no matter what, and that mysterious man that the camera always cuts to, that’s supposedly God watching him and always cheering for him whether he loses or not.
Has to be one of my favorite underdog stories, literally no one believes in nacho in the beginning not even his own commune yet at the end he earns the support of EVERYBODY
As goofy as this movie was we all gotta admit we all love Nacho being the underdog in his match with Ramses and having the love and support from his friends who stuck by him and him defeating Ramses being a feel good moment! El Generico would be proud! Ole!
Nacho was loosing when he was fighting for the money. He became driven by the fame and money. He was using his earnings on “nice lotions and fancy clothes”, but once he realized that his god given gift was not to be used for fame, but instead to help better the lives of the Orphans, he became an unstoppable force.
Imagine the backstory of this fight. Last minute, Silencio, a relatively famous wrestler, drops out and Nacho, a famous but relatively unskilled fighter with a losing record, steps in and takes his place. I imagine people everywhere had him slated to lose this fight. Nacho had everything going against him. He lost his home, his friends, his dignity. He had already resigned his fate to death. Then he gets another opportunity to come back and regain his honor after losing everything. He had a heart unlike many other famous wrestlers. He had a larger purpose to come back and fight. Then in his last moments, God brings light to his life again after showing that Encarnacion and the kids had never lost faith in him. That alone gave him the strength to win.
All thanks to Esqueleto when he saw Silencio fighting a boy over a loaf of bread and decided to incapacitate him to let Nacho, who would give the boy the bread, fight against Ramses for the children
There's a certain charm to this film, the plot is actually so interesting considering the fact it's based on a real Luchador Priest who wrestled for the orphans. It's one of the most honorable things to do if you fight not for the crowd's attention or fame but to just to raise money for children in need, and this film portrayed it amazingly. Very underrated film.
I get teary eyed when he starts to celebrate just after pinning him. The emotion Jack Black portrays is so real.
the final move is called the crucifix, its awesome :,
Love The Ending!
Literally same. Call me sensitive but when he soars I literally get so teary eyed!!!!
I was gonna say the same thing!!
I got teary when the kids show up with their hand made masks. At last, him and esqueleto are no longer by themselves!! Win or lose.
As a kid I laughed at this scene and as an adult tears flow from my eyes when the sister and the kids show up
Realest comment ngl 💯
I thought I was the only one who did that
True that
Dude fr, gets me all emotional

His name was Fray Tormenta. He still does masses with his mask on
my favorite underdog story of all time. i could damn near cry everytime he jumps off that top rope.
What's so sad that everyone in the comment section don't even know that the man who played Ramses passed away
Nacho libre is the best movie made
Yert
This movie earns goat status for this scene alone
Que mejor lucha que una anunciada por el Mucha Crema y con Rafa El Maya de referee, dos leyendas de la lucha libre
Probably the best scenes in cinematic history
One of the best/ funniest 😂 films definitely of the past 25 years- without doubt.
Im glad to know that i'm not the only one who got his eyes blursed watching this fight...
To think his only win in the movie was the championship 🙌🏽
Those moves were intense
6:43 love this part
When he was eating the watermelon I was dead 💀😂
The super hero we deserve, but not the luchador we need right now
Enough to make a grown man cry and that ok
3:15 that slap in the head was personal 😂🤣
Im not crying 😭
RIP Ramses
