When analyzed in this context, the themes that emerge in the film- emotionalexcess, family unity, the centrality of the mother figure, the privileging of rural over urbanspaces, the importance of Catholicism and conventional gender roles- become more than justmelodramatic tropes, but rather represent an attempt on the part of the filmmakers to renegotiatethe terms of a Mexican national identity consolidated during the 1930s and 1940s.Bella rearticulates the values and concerns of traditional Mexican culture within a modern,transnational space, developing a hybrid aesthetic that encompasses both the traditional and themodern, the national and the transnational. In both its aesthetic and its thematic content, the filmultimately assures the triumph of traditional notions of “mexicanidad”. 2012-04-19 English text Miami University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1334192023 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1334192023 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
