This was simply a historical consequence, as film as an art\nform emerged in Europe, and it took a while to propagate to other parts of the\nworld. However, when it comes to the representation of non-Western countries, this\ncan be quite troublesome. How are Western film-makers supposed to represent foreign\ncultures accurately if they don&#8217;t have enough knowledge about the countries their\nnarratives are about? Sadly, most of the time they don&#8217;t even attempt to\nrepresent them in a fair light. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let me introduce you to stereotypes, a common narrative trick\nthat media-makers use when they have zero interest in learning the context of\nthe culture they&#8217;re writing about. From <a href=\"https:\/\/time.com\/4473972\/donald-trump-mexico-meeting-insult\/\">Trump&#8217;s\nalienating discourse around immigration<\/a>, to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/media\/2011\/feb\/01\/top-gear-mexican-ambassador\">the\nxenophobic remarks<\/a> made during Top Gear, stereotyping has affected the\ninternational image of Mexican culture for a long time. Because of this, it&#8217;s\nmy honour to introduce you to Mexico&#8217;s cinematic comeback: A list of carefully\ncrafted films that attempt to fight the stereotypes by showing this complex\ncountry in its true light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s start at the beginning, the golden age of Mexican cinema. Since the US and Europe were busy making films about war between 1933 and 1964, Mexico started making films about Latin America, becoming the commercial film centre of the continent during this time. My personal favourite of this era is <em>Macario<\/em>, a humorous movie that tells the story of a poor man whose only dream is to eat a whole turkey without having to share it with his family. When the man finally gets his hands on a turkey, he is \u00d4\u00c7\u00ffvisited&#8217; by three very special characters, the Devil, God and Death, each of which want a bit of his precious turkey. In terms of production, it is a very simple film, but its main accomplishment is that it explores two main folkloric concepts that are deeply embedded to Mexican tradition: death and religion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/10\/image-w1280-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19626\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/10\/image-w1280-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/10\/image-w1280-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/10\/image-w1280-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/10\/image-w1280-990x556.jpg 990w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/10\/image-w1280-470x264.jpg 470w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/10\/image-w1280-640x360.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/10\/image-w1280-215x120.jpg 215w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/10\/image-w1280-414x232.jpg 414w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/10\/image-w1280.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><em>Macario<\/em>: &#8220;death and religion&#8221;.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>After the golden age, due to political instability and lack\nof funding, Mexican cinema went through a hiatus. However, during the 90s,\ntalents like I\u251c\u2592\u251c\u00edrritu and Cuar\u251c\u2502n allowed Mexican cinema to make a glorious\nrevival. Cuaron&#8217;s <em>Y Tu Mam\u251c\u00ed Tambi\u251c\u00aen, <\/em>received\nworldwide acclaim, as it reexplored the concept of the \u00d4\u00c7\u00ffroad trip&#8217; film by\nattaching to it a narrative about loss, gender roles, and family tensions.\nSimilarly, I\u251c\u2592arritu&#8217;s <em>Amores Perros<\/em>\nwas well received among international audiences, as it brings up themes of\ninequality and violence whilst making use of a tryptic narrative that connects\nthree distinct stories through a car crash in Mexico City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In more recent years, the movie <em>G\u251c\u255deros, <\/em>directed by Alfonso Ruizpalacios has demonstrated that Mexican talent didn&#8217;t stop in the 90s. This movie, which also tackles topics such as inequality and political tensions, is truly a visual masterpiece. By shooting it entirely in black and white, Ruizpalacios managed to create a movie that feels like a dream. Finally, Gael Garcia (who actually initiated his career as the main actor in <em>Y Tu Mam\u251c\u00ed Tambi\u251c\u00aen)<\/em>, recently released his own film, <em>Chicuarotes<\/em>. This movie tells the story of two teenagers that, tired of living in the marginalised areas of Mexico City, decide to become criminals. In a manner that carefully threads between grim scenes, light-heartedness and comedy, this movie truly shows the contradictions of what it means to be Mexican.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/10\/hero_Gueros-2015-1-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19627\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/10\/hero_Gueros-2015-1-1024x427.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/10\/hero_Gueros-2015-1-300x125.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/10\/hero_Gueros-2015-1-768x320.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/10\/hero_Gueros-2015-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption> <em>G\u251c\u255deros<\/em>: &#8220;a movie that feels like a dream&#8221;<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>All in all, these movies show how Mexican film-makers are worth your time, not only because they are have continuously demonstrated that they can create original and enticing narratives, that can speak to anyone in an emotional level, but also because by paying more attention to how Mexicans tell <em>their<\/em> stories, international audiences might finally agree that there&#8217;s a lot more to Mexico than just sombreros and cacti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Le Tout Nouveau Testament<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>By Sai<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine a middle-aged man who is having his midlife crisis.
