Hello all, Becky here!

Below I have included some discussion questions to use in class to get students talking and thinking about the movie El secreto de sus ojos.

El secreto de sus ojos discussion questions

1.What is Espósito going to do at the end when he goes to see Irene? Is he going to tell her that he loves her? Is he going to denounce what he just saw in Jujuy?

2.If he does not denounce what he saw, does the movie praise the idea of man taking justice into his own hands?

3.Since the killer killed Morales’s wife and Espósito’s friend while trying to kill him, does that make Morales’s solution acceptable?

4.Does the effectiveness or lackthereof of the law have anything to do with the “acceptability” of Morales’s culpability?

5.Does Morales’s punishment of the killer affect him? If so, how?
