Description:
Narrated by Wanda De Jesus, The Bronze Screen honors the past, illuminates the present, and opens a window to the future of Latinos in motion pictures. From silent movies to urban gang films, stereotypes of the Greaser, the Lazy Mexican, the Latin Lover, and the Dark Lady are examined. Rare and extensive footage traces the progression of this distorted screen image to the increased prominence of today's Latino actors, writers, and directors. Featuring insights on Anthony Quinn, Rita Hayworth, Rita Morena, Raquel Welch, Benicio Del Toro, Antonio Banderas, Desi Arnaz, Salma Hayek, John Leguizamo, Jennifer Lopez, Jimmy Smits, Raul Julia, Cesar Romero, Carmen Miranda, Dolores del Rio, Lupe Velez, Ricardo Montalban, Jose Ferrer, Cheech Marin, and many more. With scenes from The Addams Family, Chinatown, Colors, Days of Heaven, El Mariachi, Giant, Gilda, The Godfather III, High Noon, King Kong, La Bamba, Like Water for Chocolate, The Magnificent Seven, Selena, Touch of Evil, Up in Smoke, Viva Zapata, West Side Story, The Wild Bunch, Zoot Suit, and dozens of other movies. Extra Features: The following film trailers serve as tributes to three of the most influential and legendary Latino forces in Hollywood history: Anthony Quinn - Includes insights from his OSCAR winning roles in Viva Zapata and Lust for Life. Plus scenes from Quinn's most famous performance as Zorba the Greek. Rita Hayworth - Playing the title role in Gilda made Miss Hayworth a star. As the sultry Miss Sadie Thompson, she was truly unforgettable. Rita Moreno - From the original coming attraction of West Side Story, it was evident Ms. Moreno would pick up an OSCAR for her performance in the film.

This 100 year overview of Latinos as viewed by Hollywood is a great blend of entertainment and education, with enlightening commentary. We used it recently in a conference about Latinos and it was a great way to stimulate disucssion about how to evaluate and improve images of various minorities in the media. Agree that there should be a version with Spanish subtitles. It was fasinating to learn that Spanish language versions of Hollywood films used to be shot at night, using same sets etc.

This is an exceptional documentary! Beautifully crafted and done with a loving and intelligent spirit. It is far from being a nostalgic celebration of old films. It aspires to more and ultimately succeeds in being a thoughtful and thorough analysis of the Latino legacy in motion pictures. The film is accessible to all audiences and is witty, funny and completely engaging. This would be an excellent purchase for all film lovers.

Though we still have a long way to go in Hollywood (they just keep seeing us as the "help" and not educated professionals). This documentary shows how we came a long way to finally get the respect we deserve. Latinos are always overlooked, the general public, Hollywood and the ads/marketing business seem to believe that Latinos have just appeared with "the latin explosion" a few years back with J. Lopez, R. Martin, Marc Anthony in music. But this DVD justifies that we have been here for a very ... Read More

A lot of people don't know that film has been around for a century and they REALLY don't know that Latinos have been depicted in them since the beginning. Defeating notions that Latinos have only been in Hollywood since they were about to become the largest minority group, this documentary is a brilliant investigation of both Latinos and Hollywood. This is strong cultural studies in which the interviewees make clear why the analysis of race and representation is so crucial to academics, politics, ... Read More
