reviews latino images in film turner classic movies sunday may 10 2009 vote for the dairy barn american express partners in preservation program is giving grants to historical massachusetts landmarks that need funding for the preservation of these sites out of 700 applicants they chose 25 and they are asking that you the public vote for which you think most deserves funding the winner will be guaranteed a grant others will be reviewed by committees to decide whether they should get some of the funding so why am i writing about this because my high school s dairy barn is one of the 25 contenders i attended norfolk county agricultural high school from 1994 1998 i was an environmental science major but had a special place in my heart for the dairy cows and the dairy barn the barn was built in 1919 and has been instrumental in teaching students about farm management however due to detoriation the barn no longer houses dairy cows and students are not allowed in this gorgeous barn is now used only for the storage of hay i spent many many hours in this dairy barn i got to see a cow give birth i got to feed the cows milk them and even bond with them in my junior year i selected a special guernsey cow named gemma to be my cow for the spring show i would go to the school on saturday mornings to train with her and groom her i clipped her bathed her cleaned her ears and nose scrubbed her shined her hooves and got her all gussied up for the show together we won 3 ribbons i have so many special memories of her and they all tie together with that barn so i m asking you please vote for my high school s barn register on the website and you can vote for it once a day until may 17th the more votes it gets the better chance it will receive some funding unlike the other sites the barn is used for educational purposes and does not get any outside funding from admission fees so it really really does need your votes vote that s me at 16 showing gemma the guernsey cow at the 1997 spring show here is gemma and i again and you can see the dairy barn and silo in the background my friends kevin and lisa outside the dairy barn 5 3 09 here i am petting crystal the guernsey

incident 1949 is a gripping noir about the illegal smuggling of braceros mexican workers into the us ricardo montalban stars as pablo rodriguez a mexican undercover agent who is posing as a paisano bracero in order to infiltrate a band of devious smugglers pablo befriends bracero juan garcia james mitchell and the two form a close bond as pablo and juan get smuggled across the border american agent jack bearnes george murphy who is posing as a dealer in forged immigration papers however the network of bandits are violent and determined to get their way and things get to get complicated and ugly really quickly i have to say this was a very uncomfortable film to watch it s very violent not in terms of gore but with torture and murder plus there is also a pit of death where the illegal braceros are thrown in to die once they are no longer needed yikes some folks don t think it s technically a noir but it s got all the elements of a noir just in an atypical setting this films merits i think lie in the performances of ricardo montalban and james mitchell they are our heroes and we root for them all the way you mean you can make a film about latinos with latino actors no the mexican characters in this film are mostly played by latinos which makes a welcome change from caucasian actors with olive complexions or extra make up the only exception is james mitchell who i don t think is actually hispanic but i could be wrong the theme of illegal immigration and the exploitation of mexican workers makes this film incredibly relevant today the situations in the story are disturbingly real and i think this is a good movie for sparking some political discussions level of brown face 1 out of 5 shades tcm latino images in film line up for tuesday may 7th bordertown 1935

latino images in film turner classic movies monday may 4 2009 latino images in film the mark of zorro 1920 in the mark of zorro 1920 douglas fairbanks sr plays the title role of zorro a masked crusader out to defend and fight for the interests of the oppressed in his world this is everyone who is subject to the law governor soldiers sargeants etc which is corrupt by day he is a soft jaded rich boy with a delicate education from spain the motherland but whenever the oppressed people of his community needs him he transforms into the masked zorro a genuine hero full of masculine bravado and good intent no one knows zorro s true identity not even his love interest lolita who he is wooing as both versions of himself can he save his townspeople from oppresion and win the heart of lolita zorro can do anything this silent classic was produced by douglas fairnbanks production company and was the first feature film release of united artists which fairbanks started with chaplin and his wife pickford among others this was the first in a series of swashbuckling movies that fairbanks did which made him vastly popular fans of his son douglas fairbanks jr might remember him mocking his father s performance in the film our dancing daughters in the cast is also noah beery brother of wallace beery and walt whitman although no relation to the poet darn i thoroughly enjoyed this silent film fairbanks was quite acrobatic and his stunts were enjoyable to watch the representation of mexican spanish people in the film i thought was done very respectfully what i found interesting is that although the main division is between the townspeople and the law there is a cultural division between the light skinned noble spanish blood which is higher in ranking than the dark skinned natives as i am fascinated with early dominican culture these kind of cultural divisions always fascinate me level of brown face 2 out of 5 shades oh my those pants are rather tight aren t they mr fairbanks tcm

latino images in film festival after successful runs with their asian images in film screened out gay images in film and african american images in film turner classic movies is giving my people their due with latino images in film festival for the month of may i have been super excited about this festival since i heard about it a few months ago on the tcm message boards on tuesday and thursdays tcm will air 5 films that deal touch upon latino culture and issues they also have a snazzy new site devoted to the festival check it out here why am i excited about this because i m a latina i m first generation american and my mother is 100 full blooded hispanic from the dominican republic i am fluent in spanish i eat my arroz con habichuelas and have the cadera to prove it what does it mean to be a latina for me it means maintaining the culture learning about my heritage and embracing that latina fire and passion that runs through my veins classic films are predominantly caucasian but it has been surprising to find out over the years how many films either have latino characters or showcase latino actors with tcm s list of films for their festival i have discovered even more in honor of latino images in film i ll be doing a month long series on this blog for the first three weeks i ll be posting a review of one film on mondays and wednesdays before it airs the next day and will also include the following day s full schedule i ll be reviewing a total of 6 films and all of them happen to be available on dvd just in case you don t have tcm i hope this will encourage you to watch the films or at least be aware of the films that are out there for the last week i tentatively have planned a latino images in film contest each review will contain a summary background information and what i think about the representation of latinos in the film i ll also include a rating level of brown face brown face is what i call the hispanic equivalent to black face this is when they take caucasian actors and put some dark make up on them to make them look more ethnic they also used mediterannean and olive skinned european actors to look latino and i also consider this a form of brown face i ll point out along the way the level of brown face in each film disclaimer i m doing this purely because i want to and not because i was asked to i hope you ll enjoy the series posted
