I mean, the Sicario series is still huge.

"Sicario:" French-Canadian director. Catholics like John Ford were interested in Mexico. But even the talented Three Amigo Mexican directors in Hollywood seldom make movies involving Mexico.

Del Toro is afraid of living in Mexico.
-
Movie director Guillermo del Toro has good reason to live in a nice, safe suburban part of Ventura County and not visit Mexico for 15 years. His businessman dad was kidnapped in the 1990s and held for ransom. James Cameron loaned Del Toro a million bucks to get his dad released.

Can't say I blame him. Look what happened to Ali Landry's in-laws.

Are you saying USA doesn’t care about Mexico bc USA is North Mexico?
-
Mexico used to appeal to American artistic bohemians (e.g., writer William S. Burroughs killed his wife in Mexico City in 1945) as a place to get sex, drugs, boys, spicy food, etc. But as America liberalized, there was less need for Mexico.

Got it. And well MX is all over where I live. I don’t even need to go there to enjoy the culture when I can hang out with my neighborhood landscapers and house keepers.

erasing memory of mexico is imperative for turning america into mexico. If people think too much about what mexico is actually like they might close the borders

But without any Mexican heritage, isn't Mel making a film about Mexicans.... problematic?
-
Everything Mel does is "problematic."

We need more Mels.

RE SP & Mexico, also note "The Ballad of Cable Hogue” (1970) & “Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia” (1974), the latter a helluva film, w/W. Oates in grizzled prime. SP’s border films often feature white men comforted by brown whores. Will Mel be forced to water this theme down?
-
Alfredo Garcia is like a slice of perfect Mexico City rural surroundings history right in the industrial transition of the 1970s. Peckinpah had a deep eye for the soul of Mexico; he obviously cared for it with a great big heart. It cuts deep in me every time I watch it.

Perhaps declining interest in Mexico and similar decline in African American star power in Hollywood blockbusters reflects increasing Chinese influence on Hollywood.
