Nina (2016)
The performance, not the story!
Because, many were personally involved in Miss Simone's life, it is easy to understand their annoyance; however, as a person that appreciates Miss Simone's music, I put her on her own pedestal but; I must, in the other hand, contemplate, in total impartiality of judgment, Miss Zaldana's performance, her singing was extraordinary and deserves to be valued independently. There is no comparison possible, for they are both different performers, and as such, must be valued separately. Perhaps, in relation to the portrayal of the character, there were marked unsubstantiated facts, this belongs to the screenwriters and playwrights or whoever. One must be fair and judge the acting and the singing of the artists.
El mexicano (1977)
One of the best Mexican movies of its time.
Actually, El Mexicano is based on Jack London's short story The Mexican, and has been totally ignored as a work of true love as it was. Rest In Peace Jorge Luke who portrayed the Mexican as no other Mexican actor could have. The story is NOT about prejudice, it's historical about the Mexican Revolution and the efforts of one man who is pulled in by it to give it support in a very unselfish way. It tells about the Anglo American support that the Mexican Revolution was honored to have had. There were many Anglo American supporters of that period who wished, as still today, to be part of Mexico's history.Though, low budget and, at that time, not many would touch the subject of the relationship between both cultures. Yet, it portrayed the possibility of these cultures to become united in one common goal. Many Anglo Americans hoped for Mexico to become free, as they had become free themselves, and were identified with the struggles and toils of revolutionary actions and so many similarities during those times and those suffered by the Anglo American people.
