AMAR TE DUELE (LOVE HURTS)
AMAR TE DUELE, directed by Fernando Sariñana, is a poignant exploration of youth and the complexities of love in a divided society. The film centers around two main characters, Renata (played by Martha Higareda) and Ulises (portrayed by Luis Fernando Pena), whose love story serves as a modern-day interpretation of Romeo and Juliet. In this adaptation, the themes of love and sacrifice are intricately woven into the socio-economic fabric of Mexico City.
Renata comes from a well-off family, living in the affluent neighborhoods characterized by luxury and comfort. Her life is filled with the privileges afforded to her by her family’s financial stability, but behind the curtains of her lavish environment lies a feeling of constraint. Peer pressure manifests as she struggles to conform to her social circle’s expectations, which often clash with her own desires for true happiness and self-exploration.
On the other hand, Ulises hails from the working-class barrios, a stark contrast to Renata’s lifestyle. His environment is rife with challenges, including urban violence and the hustle for survival. Despite these hurdles, he remains determined, using his passion for music as an outlet to express his dreams and aspirations. The story captures his resilience as he navigates a world that often feels unforgiving.
As their worlds collide, the relationship that blooms between Renata and Ulises becomes a battleground for not just their personal feelings, but also for cultural and socioeconomic tensions. The film addresses pervasive class divides, highlighting how societal expectations can create barriers to love.
Throughout the film, the characters face external challenges that threaten to tear them apart, including their families’ disapproval, the wrath of their peers, and the harsh realities of their environments. Their romance serves as a testament to the resilience of young love, portraying both the beauty and agony that come with it. Renata and Ulises must confront their own prejudices and those imposed by society to find a way to be together.
Thematic Elements:
Love Against All Odds: The film emphasizes the idea that true love can arise from the most challenging circumstances, echoing the timeless narrative of Romeo and Juliet.
Socioeconomic Struggles: It presents a raw look at the challenges faced by the underprivileged sections of society while also examining the impact of wealth on identity and relationships.
Peer Pressure: It highlights the influence of friends and societal expectations on teenagers, particularly in shaping their choices and desires.
Urban Violence: The backdrop of Mexico City is portrayed as a character in itself, with its rich tapestry of life that can be both transformative and destructive.
The cinematography beautifully captures the vibrant yet gritty essence of Mexico City, with scenes unfolding in various iconic locations—from bustling shopping malls to the stark corridors of the barrios. This backdrop enriches the narrative, grounding the characters in a reality that feels both relatable and profound.
In summary, AMAR TE DUELE is not just a love story; it is a deeply resonant portrayal of the trials and tribulations of young love in the face of societal pressures and personal conflicts. It challenges viewers to reflect on their own lives and the societal structures that shape their relationships.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
