When deciding to visit any country it helps to know a little about their culture and their social mores as well as what’s expected of tourists. Some countries are very welcoming and don’t mind that tourists tend to take over and do thing their way. Others are a little more strict and don’t truly enjoy catering to people that don’t respect their homes. Mexico is kind of a hodgepodge of those that will allow tourists to do what they want and those that will seek to crack down on anything that they deem to be disrespectful of their culture and home. It’s more than understandable as many of us wouldn’t want someone coming to our backyard and acting in a way that disrespects our lives in any way shape or form.
By watching this films you might get an idea of what type of culture you will be walking into if you’re going to be visiting Mexico any time soon.
5. Sin Nombre
Believe it or not, migrants that make their way across the border are not all Mexican. Some people do make their way up from Central America and brave the trek through Mexico in order to reach America. This is a dangerous and trying trip however and can take a toll on most anyone that dares to make that kind of journey. It’s not just the trip itself, it’s the people you have to trust along the way.
4. Como Agua Para Chocolate
The Mexican desert is a vast and very arid place like most such regions. But the cuisine that is to be found within and throughout Mexico is the stuff of legend and such delight that it makes any trip south of the border very much worth it. The culinary delights that are to be found in so many different regions of Mexico are a treat that those to the north only get vague copies of every now and again.
3. Heche En Mexico
There’s more to Mexican music than Mariachi as this documentary shows. Mexico is a land that is steeped in culture and is rich in many different art forms including theater and music. The overlying talent that is to be found in this country is simply amazing and will grab the listener in such a way that you might feel the need to extend your stay just so you can experience as much as possible.
2. The Night of the Iguana
This shows just a part of the nightlife of Mexico and jut how wild it can get. It’s a fair representation of the beaches that are such an important part of the culture, but the overall story is about a pastor that loses his place in the church and must somehow gain his way back to his faith. The culture of Mexico can be seen in the background all around if you take the time to look.
1. Amores Perros
You can’t really have the total experience of a country until you’ve seen both its worst and its best sides. Mexico is known for its luxuries and extravagances, but it is also known for its much darker undertones such as are shown in this picture.
