I love this video like everyone else, but is there a script about its content? I want to use it with my students in my Spanish class but I need more in depth information about the content of this video.
@@maryamthorpe8679 Hey Maryam! Sure we can share a script explaining the shots, different sections, locations, activities, music, etc. Also is there anything specific you would like to know? What would you like to teach your students?
@@thesultanster I have been putting a presentation together and it is coming along but your information would help too. I love the quality of the video.
@@maryamthorpe8679 [0:00 - 0:08] In the first few seconds we are given an introduction of Mexico that is all too familiar. People are taught a narrative about the dangers of the country. However, after this introduction we are quickly shown a face of a man who was born there. I edited this section in a way that the man has his head down as the voices of news anchors and stereotypes burden him. Even we as the audience might be saying these things to him. Which is why he looks up and stares back at us. Everything onwards in the video is what we are able to see with his eyes. In his perspective. [0:08 - 1:13] Music La Bamba by Lila Downs As the music grows louder we are shown a couple drone shots of different places in Mexico around San Andrés region. Lila Downs sings about different parts of Mexican culture she finds beautiful such as the dancing (0:19), painting (0:29), taleveras located in Puebla (0:35), and the display of flowers in San Andrés (0:45). We are then shown tidbits of daily life in the outskirt cities. [1:15] Church bells slowly break up the music just as they would break up our daily activities for the remembrance of god. It is a primarily a christian faith country. [1:15 - 2:00] Music **La Cumbia Del Mole by Lila Downs** Lila Downs says in the beginning of the song that “It is said that in Oaxaca they take their coffee with mezcal.” I personally liked this statement, and believe she’s encapsulated the essence of that region with her song. The first few clips show a man producing Mezcal straight from his home factory. If you haven’t tried fresh Mezcal before you’re missing out! We move onto the next sections of people prepping and selling vegetables to food on a platter. Followed by shots of children playing in the town square. For me the most beautiful part of Oaxaca was how family oriented the region was. [2:20] This place is called Xochimilco near Mexico City. It is a place where people rent boats all day and eat with their friends and families as they row down a network of rivers. Some even jump into the water if it gets too hot! [2:30] This is an Aztec ritual for the sun [2:42] Regional sewing and fabrics. Some regions use bright colors for their floral designs. This woman was sewing a design of an agave plant (to represent Oaxaca) [2:48] Traditional wood painter from Tilcajete [2:53] Traditional farmers market in the streets of Oaxaca [3:03] A lovely lady who made us food in her home :) [3:18] Efrain Fuentes is one of the best woodworkers in Oaxaca. I visited him one day to see his process and meet his family. He is a fifth generation woodworker and is continuing his family’s legacy. Then I hitchhiked back into the main city on a random person’s motorcycle. [3:30] From the wooden ship to underwater we see some of the biodiversity in the beaches of Cozumel. And my personal favorite part editing this video was showing how rapidly a sunny day can turn into a thunderous night [3:56] Futbol is a daily activity for everyone in all times of the day [4:15] A traditional carpet maker [4:25] 2 hours out of Oaxaca are vast open fields and flocks of animals [4:49] We end it back to the man from the beginning, to signify that maybe what we’ve seen or heard about mexico might actually be very different from what he’s seen in his own country. And based on his experience he smiles with pride and love, closing the video to the audience.

Mi hermoso país llamado México que significa Ombligo de la Luna con su bandera tricolor y su milenario escudo donde el águila y la serpiente están su eterna lucha. México lindo y querido ❤️🇲🇽❤️

The scenery is very beautiful in Mexico I still have to ask the question if Mexico is so great why are so many Mexicans trying to leave Mexico and come to the United States to live
@@fmissingshprobably the same reason millions of Europeans fled, millions for centuries, centuries …..,year after year fleeing like rats on a sinking a sinking ship.
