  • The Significance Of Mexican-Americans In The Film End Of Watch

    From the drug cartel and gangs, to the Mexican-American police officers like Officer Zavala and Officer Orozco, who is a policewoman that was once friends with female Curbside gang member, Lala. I loved that film was very much in touch with the Chicano culture, particularly in the scene where they were celebrating the quinceanera of Zavala’s younger sister. The film showed very descriptive features that also represent the Chicano culture, such as the scene where the man in the pickup truck picks up a pot of soup, from the mother of a Curbside gang member. Loud Mexican music is playing from the truck as the man is being apprehended. They soon discover that the pot of soup, or what looked like menudo, was used to hide large amounts of drug money.

  • Zoot Suit Analysis

    687 Words  | 3 Pages

    In Zoot Suit by Luis Valdez, the role of the actor, Demian Bichir, who plays El Pachuco was played really well and really embodied the character of El Pachuco. El Pachuco is Henry Reyna’s alter ego and symbolizes pride and what it means to be “cool” for Latino teenagers back in the day. The zoot suit that El Pachuco wears really assisted Mr. Bichir in embodying the El Pachuco because the zoot suit was a symbol of the culture. Mr. Bichir does an excellent job of creating his character and developing it as the play progresses. The El Pachuco is molded into a character of defiance and resistance.
