    El Norte Symbolism

    El Norte, a 1983 film directed by Gregory Nava, depicts the life of two indigenous teenagers who flee their native country, Guatemala, in search for a better life in America. The reason for fleeing is due to the ethnic and political oppression of the Guatemalan Civil War. The film builds up a strong connection shared between Enrique and Rosa, one of genuine feeling and fierce emotion. This connection is foregrounded by the exaggerated style and is often compared to adulterated relations among Hispanics. Such a differentiation is proposed to underline the strain on the social connection created by the financial aspects of migration. In both Enrique’s and Rosa’s hopes of pursuing the “American Dream”, their fantasies of a better life are both…

    Cartoneo Y Nopalitos Analysis

    This film is an awesome piece of art. It is incredible the way it is possible to transmit a huge and powerful message in just an hour and forty minutes. From this, people may learn to appreciate what they have, talking about the ones who enjoy of legal status, because sometimes they do not realize others would love to have the chances they have only because of a “legal citizenship status.” The best fact about this film is the way the author portrayed reality in life. Most of the time people is used to witness a happy ending, but this was not the case. Veliz knew exactly how to portray a reality that many people do not like to realize. As well, several key quotes or phrases he used helped to enhance the meaning of this story as when they said “Nomas por los coyotes en la colina, no vamos a dejar de criar gallinas.” This gave the message of realizing that, after all, troubles are part of life, so people must learn to deal with it and do not give up. Moreover, the…

    Terraferma

    I liked this movie because it showed real problems that people in Italy face with illegal immigration and it also shows how people can be punished for saving other people. The movie also had very good camera work and the scenes were well put together. If I was Filippo I would do the same thing he did and save the family because if he didn't decide to save them he would have to live with that guilt and it would basically be murder if he watched them die. But I wouldn't go as far as he did and let her rent my house if I knew she was an illegal immigrant. I would save her but she would be in Italy on her own. Because you put yourself more at risk of getting caught if you have an illegal immigrant renting your house so the Italian police and government might know something strange is going on. Also you would get in trouble for having them in your house but when you help them it would be harder for them to find you.…

    Alvar Nunez Cabeza De Vaca Analysis

    Most of the beginning of American history seems like a race of conquest between the Spaniards and Europeans with Native Americans caught in the crossfire. A seemingly peaceful group of people, the Native Americans were under constant attack from the moment settlers arrived into their territory. Historians can pull from first-hand accounts and primary sources to piece together the history of this nation. One Spainard exploratory mission wrecked off the coast of Florida with about 400 men (OTP S1-6, OTP 22). After long battles and shipwrecks, the expedition was cut short and only four men survived, one an African slave and Spanish explorer named Alvar Nunez Cabeza De Vaca. De Vaca wrote a narrative explaining his encounters with Native Americans who had never seen white or black people before. De Vaca described the Indians as “war like people…and protect themselves from their enemies as they would have if they had been raised in Italy and in continuous war” (OTP S1-6). He explains in his narrative…

    Sin Nombre

    Sin Nombre

    Sin Nombre, loosely translated as “without name”, is an independent film released in 2009 under the skillful direction of Cary Fukunaga. Fukunaga, a film graduate from New York University, also attended a French university and carries a bachelor’s degree in history from the University of California at Santa Cruz. During his studies and New York University, he made a short film titled Victoria Para Chino, a film about a group of immigrants who died in a refrigerated trailer when immigrating to America; The inspiration behind Sin Nombre came from that short film. In his first major production, Fukunaga continued his interest in the topic of immigration, and came up with the creation of Sin Nombre. The film follows both a young gangster of the Mara Salvatrucha gang, Casper, and young girl from Honduras, Sayra, on their difficult journey to America. Fukunaga’s overall reason for the film was to express the hardships Central American people face on their journey to America, in hopes that people could see immigration from a different light. The film is directed mainly towards citizens of America, Central America, and Mexico although it can spread to any area with controversial opinions of immigration. The constraints of the film include time, as the film lasted just 96 minutes, rating, the limited budget of an independent film, the dangerous filming locations in Central America and Mexico, and language— the film is spoken completely in spanish with english subtitles. These constraints were overcome, and the film went on to be nominated for 22 awards, winning 12 of those including multiple awards at the Sundance Film Festival in 2009, perhaps the most prestigious awards in the independent film world. Fukunaga bravely delivers the powerful and eye-opening story of the journey experienced by Central Americans immigrating to America: One that has previously been pushed behind the curtains in today’s society. Fukunaga delivers his argument that immigrants should…
