It's lighthearted enough that it doesn't seem to have a purpose other than entertaining the audience, yet a lot can be drawn from it.Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06361256109525697218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9029553623736035496.post-302564051926492302009-03-18T20:44:00.000-07:002009-03-18T20:44:00.000-07:00I agree that it is difficult to analyze this film ...I agree that it is difficult to analyze this film in terms of Mexico... it is a representation (parody) of another representation (the Western) of Mexico, and further, the relationship between the U.S. and Mexico.<BR/>The comedy is also something I didn't appreciate very much, though some of the slapstick was entertaining. I was bothered by the existence of the singing bush and the invisible swordsman. But then if you think about it, that is exactly the type of thing you see in comedies like Princess Bride, which parodies fairy tales in which a brave suitor saves the damsel in distress. In this movie, Carmen is the damsel in distress whom they are trying to save.<BR/>So, this adds another type of film (in addition to the Western) to those that this movie parodies, which involves even more layers than the Western: in this part of the film, The three amigos makes a parody of films that make a parody of films that represent idealist romantic fairy tale type stories...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9029553623736035496.post-11164330804095629142009-03-18T01:41:00.000-07:002009-03-18T01:41:00.000-07:00I agree that there's not much to take out of this ...I agree that there's not much to take out of this film other than the fact that it purposely had a stereotypical atmosphere. There's not much in it that you can really take apart and analyse.elenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16919589057519157485noreply@blogger.com
