History Film / ElCrimenDelPadreAmaro

** Amelia attacks Ruben for writing an article that details the church's dirty affairs with druglords, throwing multiple ClusterFBombs at him and breaking up with him for what she sees as an attack on her beliefs. However, she isn't an exemplar Catholic herself, admitting to masturbating to Jesus, and later starting a secret relationship with Amaro, which she sees nothing wrong with. Later, she lies to Ruben in an attempt to invoke GiveTheBabyAFather, but this doesn't work as he's not interested on her anymore.

''El Crimen del Padre Amaro'' (The Crime of Father Amaro) is a Mexican film released in 2002, starring Creator/GaelGarciaBernal, and Ana Claudia Talarcon, loosely based on based on the 1875 novel ''O Crime do Padre Amaro'' by Portuguese writer José Maria de Eça de Queiroz. It was directed by Carlos Carrera.

Famously, this film suffered an attempt of boycott by the Mexican Catholic Church before it was even released, [[NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity which actually increased the interest of the people to see it]], [[StreisandEffect ending up in transforming it into a massive blockbuster]] [[OscarBait and earning it an Academy Award nomination]].

Amaro is a young, recently ordained Catholic Priest who, by orders of the bishop, is sent to the small town of Los Reyes, Aldama to perform his duties as a priest under the supervision of the town's priest, Father Benito. There, Amaro witnesses and becomes entangled in the affairs between the Catholic Church, the drug lords and the guerrillas in the mountains. He also becomes infatuated with Amelia, a beautiful teenager and a devout Catholic who is also the daughter of Father Benito's mistress. Ignoring the priesthood's VowOfCelibacy, he starts an affair with her and impregnates her, fearing for the future of his career in the church and his reputation in the town he decides to take Amelia to a backstreet abortion clinic...[[spoiler: which ends in tragedy]].

* AbortionFalloutDrama: Amaro has an affair with Amelia and gets her pregnant. Being a Catholic priest in very Catholic Mexico, he of course wants her to leave town to protect his reputation. Instead, she tries to reunite with her ex-boyfriend Ruben so she can pass the baby off as his. When Ruben rejects her advances, Father Amaro arranges for Amelia to have a back-alley abortion. [[spoiler:The abortion, of course, goes wrong and Amelia dies. Ruben coincidentally leaves town at the same time and so is subsequently blamed for what happened to Amelia while Amaro gets to keep his good reputation.]] Amelia is portrayed as an innocent victim of Amaro's selfishness rather than a hussy who got what she deserved.

* HelloNurse / MsFanservice: Amelia. Amaro even notices on the amount of attention she gets from the [[ConstructionCatcalls construction workers]] of the new hospital.

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: How Amaro "persuades" the director of the local newspaper into retracting an incriminating article about Father Benito:

-->'''Amaro:''' And is the truth sustained by the readers or the advertising?

* InformedAttractiveness: Promotional material describes Amelia as beautiful, there's even the scene with the construction workers where Amaro comments on the attention Amelia gets from them. The actress, Ana Claudia Talarcon, isn't bad looking but it would be a stretch to call her dazzling. Amaro is also described as very handsome by Sanjuanera and the mayor's wife seems to have a crush on him.
