Video Summary
From Nice Vacation to Globalization     Our video’s main theme goes along with the class theme of “globalization”. The storyline of our movie is of two friends who are reminiscing about their past trip to Mexico, and how much they enjoyed the culture and the individuality of the country. It is then that they decide on going back to Mexico for another visit. Upon arriving, they are disappointed to find that the Mexico that they once loved has been dramatically affected by globalization, and much of the culture and natural environment has been lost. Therefore our video shows the mostly negative affects of globalization on this Latin American country.     Our video incorporates environment/ nature, because we compare and contrast the images of pre-globalized Mexico, which show animals in their natural habitat and beautiful scenery; to globalized Mexico, which shows images of the beautiful scenery gone and replaced by big corporations, and no images of animals.  We incorporate revolution/ oppression by showing pictures of the Zapatistas on our “second trip to Mexico”, this goes under the revolution/oppression category because the Zapatistas are fighting against globalization. The way that we incorporate magical realism/ surrealism is the basic way that our video is plotted and filmed. A lot of our images of “Mexico” are actually shot in Seattle, and it is meant to create an exaggerated take on globalization by having everything be the same as Seattle or the United States. Finally we have also incorporated the Zapatistas into the indigenous cultures category, because since the Zapatistas are indigenous people fighting against globalization, we thought this fit into our theme really well.
