Textual Analysis

Watched "Children of Men" last night - the latest film by Alfonso Cuaron - and was very impressed.

Still need to watch one of Cuaron's earlier films "Y Tu Mama Tambien"

And the films of Alejandro Gonzalez Innaritu "Amores Perros", "21 Grams" and "Babel"

Also Guilermo Del Toro's "Espinazo del Diablo, El" (The Devil's Backbone) and "Laberinto del Fauno, El" (Pan's Labyrinth)

I will be keeping a record of the content of each film - my notes on the "El Mariachi" trilogy will also be added to these.

Initial Project Idea

Subject Area: World Cinema

Suggested Title: In what ways have Mexican film directors had influence on Hollywood?

Principal Texts: El Mariachi, Desperado, Once Upon a Time in Mexico, Pan's Labyrinth, Babel, Children of Men, Grindhouse (maybe)
