I don’t know if anyone outside LATAM knows that Mexico is at war (again) with the French 🤭 Last time, it was about a bakery, this time? We are mad about the movie Emilia Perez.
It has become a whole movement that ended up with the creation of a “revenge film” called “Johanne Sacreblu” which you should 100% watch and it’s available on YouTube.
Emilia Perez is a movie that tells the story about a narco that decided to become a woman (all okey till there) but then she has a change of heart and decides to “help” the families of the victims of violence and disappearances by Narco-activities, to reclaim their bodies… in a musical? While making her never pay for her crimes? Trivializing the struggle of thousands?? Ending up as a martyr? And portraying a very stereotypical and not at all true view of Mexico? Also made by a french man? No one, but one girl in the cast is from Mexico! And the script and songs were written in french and then translated to Spanish, so nothing sounds okey and there’s a lot of things that don’t make sense! And the director said he didn’t need to investigate because everyone knew enough about Mexico …. And it is receiving Praise and awards everywhere and Latins are like, why?? What???
So, go ahead and watch “Johanne Sacreblu” and laugh a bit :)
