Spoilers to the end Emilia Perezand Which flows on Netflix now.
The last scene in Emilia PerezThe controversial music about the captain of the transient Mexican Cartetle, includes the most important transformation in the movie. The camera is prevented to show the funeral procession of Emilia (Carla Sophia Jaskoun), after her death in a fiery car accident alongside her separate wife Jesse (Selena Gomez) and her wife of her wife Gustavo (Edgar Ramirez). Throughout the film, Emilia Tiktoun was on its outwardly violent past by helping families to restore some specific media- “Desaparecidos“ – Victims of drug trafficking. In death, mourners bear it as a normal -size Catholic Virgin. It is led by the friend of Emilia, Ebvania (Adriana Paz), approaching tear -loving victims:“ Quién Hizo El Milagro De Cambiar El Doleor En ORO ” “To the person who has become painfully turned into gold.”
According to the Libretto Opera written by French director Jacques Audiard, Emilia He won the jury award at the Cannes Film Festival, where it was first shown in May, and it acquired praise for shows, including Zoe Saldana as a lawyer in Emilia, Rita, and the Spanish Tienovela representative as Gascón as the title of the title. (The film’s stars won the Best Actress Joint Actress at the Cannes Festival) Fayth crisis.
But as the film continues to the death of Emilia as an emotional peak, it loses any accuracy. While the funeral works as a healing moment for the audience, it also shows how – from encouraging the reflection on the inequality sang by the characters – the film uses Emilia’s journey to paper on it.
From the beginning, Audiard puts us in the worlds of these women outwardly from their point of view. Rita, a self -described lawyer for Emilia, who helps Emilia to move in her medical transfer, sings rock music song from corruption and her difficulties in climbing companies ladder as a black Latin women. After the transition, Emilia is located in Ebvania, the wife of Mesta to a man who was killed in the drug war. Jesse, who is the indigenous Greena, is to escape with Gustavo and take her children with her, which diversified the fiery film. These characters prepare a complex look in the Mexican society in which the film was placed.
To understand the reason for the film’s failure, it is important to recognize the severity of the sweat and layer in Latin America, and the Mestizaje ideology. This belief system is the Latin American version of “I don’t see the color.” Instead, she says: “We are all mixed”, some mixture of black, original, and European. This helps a symbol to unify countries amid aspects of ethnic and huge ethnic equality that benefits the white and white bourgeoisie. It can be said, that mestizaje also helps to shine on the anti -auction and anti -combat racism. This is precisely some of the thumbs that make “disappearance” -often work -the non -white category -an easy layer, which can be consumed by violent and state actors.
From the beginning, the film seems to miss these cultural differences. How to determine the sweat that determines the layer means that the kartel leaders in Latin America are usually not the European descendants with blue eyes. The distance of this type of white Gracelda Blanco For “El ChapoAnd “and Pablo Escobar It turned into violent underground economies. It is not explained or disturbed by the possible microscopic causes of how or why Emilia rises through the ranks.
Instead of showing her life through her eyes, the film focuses on her transfer, which turns into a medical scene. One of the strange craftsmen occurs in the hospital where employees scream various surgeries in Rita, where she identifies the doctor who will work better for Emilia. Rita is the moral awareness of the film, but the story was not listed from her point of view or her. Epifania Emilia friendly friendly friend. We do not know anything about it, rescue its place as two wise household abuse. Aside from the epifania, the wives and mothers of the seals, or the women disappeared themselves, work only as backgrounds.
Greatly, the most important plot is the white motherhood of Emilia. She has two children and sends them to Switzerland with their mother Jesse as she moves. Then she returns them to live with her in Mexico, claiming that she is their aunt. Initially, the image of Jesse as an imported American wife, is not satisfied with her expatriate presence, promising wrinkles. She is eager to escape with attractive Gustavo and wants to take children with her.
The film becomes an investor in the two nations, Jesse and Emilia, and they are fighting in the nursery. Jesse’s personal desires and Vendetta are led to the kidnapping of Emilia, to enable her escape with her lover Gustavo. Melodramatic procedures like Telenovela, with Jesse’s character closer to casinoSharon Stone in a Mexican villa. The bilateral image of the fencing mothers appears to be intentionally blatant to make the audience on the part of Emilia: Jesse is the selfishness that takes children with her beloved meeting with Epifania. She reads as a way to recover her white death before her final sanctification.
In the end, before the kidnapping of Gustavo from Emilia from the bars, Emilia and Jesse are compatible. Then they die as Jesse is driving to control the steering wheel in the Gustavo Gustavo, with the complementary Emilia and connected to the trunk.
This final procession is the funeral and symbolic transformation of Emile Serenades to Virgen De Guadalupe Worship. In converting Emilia into a virgin, the film is celebrated – and its replacement death.
Guadalobi It is a mestizaje icon: A white part and part of the indigenous population, is the symbol of the mother who brings everyone together. The full film message becomes more clear because Emilia’s death shows women across class and sweat. Ebvania sings its sincerity to Emilia, along with the other women that the police and the government have ignored. Rita interferes to care for Jesse and Emilia’s children: adoption by racism as an attack. Color women, Ibfania and Rita are left to provide emotional work for recovery.
Perez A platform on Netflix comes in the aftermath of the documentary Will Ferrel movie, Will and HarperAnother example of the “positive” transient representation that can be considered an attempt to wash the platform Control Tran reputation. But if her death allows her to be sanctified, the film does not fully know how to represent her life. In the strange anti -nitrate cup, Emilia was never just as a mother. Her children are still “the smell of their father” in this aunt; And when Jesse asks to take them, the side of “my father” is angry, Emiley (including her old voice). Ultimately, for all gossip about Emilia PerezAssuming bending type authenticityIt seems that the most persuasive transit woman is still dead.
