LATINE HERITAGE WEEK ☆ DAY FOUR: FAVORITE LED FILM(S)

PAN’S LABYRINTH  (2006) dir. Guillermo del Toro

This right here.

As a mexican woman, I love to see movies with latino characters, and I adore to finally see latin america as the setting of mainstream movies in a positive light without all of these harmful stereotypes about us and our countries.

However, why do latinos only matter when they're represented by the United States? Why is it only worthy to be watched and made popular if it's made by north americans? Why does it need to be americanized to be taken in consideration?

Media made by latinos EXIST. Many people like to say there isn't, but as OP said in the thread, what they mean is that there's a lack of latino media in first world countries. If you search, you will find.

We make our own movies, shows, animation, books, music... It might not be internationally popular, but that's because like all other non-american media, it's incredibly overlooked.

Everything american is put above like if it's more deserving and worthy of attention just because it's from the USA. Just look how many american remakes of non-american media get so popular.

Remember about how much Villainous (a mexican CN cartoon) struggled for years to be green-lit as a full series? Why do you think it is? Because it's made in latin america, by latinos.

As Bong Joon Ho said “Once you overcome the 1 inch tall barrier of subtitles, you will be introduced to such amazing films"

Quoting OP's thread:

“Even with the economic problems, a lot of great art exists here, and new art is created constantly. Our region should be more on the center of anything related to our media.”

If you want to support latin american animation made by latinos, I highly recommend Villainous (Villanos) and Frankelda's Book of Spooks (Los Sustos Ocultos de Frankelda) both in HBO Max. There's also so many content made by latinos than you can look for. We live in an era of globalization and internet, so if you want to support latino art, it might be a Google search away.
