There are certain emotions in your body that not even your best friend can sympathize with, but you will find the right film or the right book, and it will understand you.
I took my father to see Rogue One today. I’ve wanted to take him for a while. I wanted my Mexican father, with his thick Mexican accent, to experience what it was like to see a hero in a blockbuster film, speak the way he does. And although I wasn’t sure if it was going to resonate with him, I took him anyway. When Diego Luna’s character came on screen and started speaking, my dad nudged me and said, “he has a heavy accent.” I was like, “Yup.” When the film was over and we were walking to the car, he turns to me and says, “did you notice that he had an accent?” And I said, “Yeah dad, just like yours.” Then my dad asked me if the film had made a lot of money. I told him it was the second highest grossing film of 2016 despite it only being out for 18 days in 2016 (since new year just came around). He then asked me if people liked the film, I told him that it had a huge following online and great reviews. He then asked me why Diego Luna hadn’t changed his accent and I told him that Diego has openly talked about keeping his accent and how proud he is of it. And my dad was silent for a while and then he said, “And he was a main character.” And I said, “He was.” And my dad was so happy. As we drove home he started telling me about other Mexican actors that he thinks should be in movies in America. Representation matters.
We’re so used to have bad to zero representation in media that we get genuinely surprised when things like this happen. Like “oh. This guy is Mexican and he’s the main character. He’s got a normal Mexican accent and he’s not wearing sombreros. Really?”
Be proud always.
I hate how mental breakdowns are represented in film and the media, like excessively physical and violent. Smashing of windows, mirrors and glass, walls with disturbing messages written across, loud screaming and violently beating pillows etc. Because a lot of mental breakdowns are inner and harder to spot that then that and it gives such a false representation of what having breakdown means
