    Whats up with those French guys taking over Mexico?

    JUAREZ

    Maximilian

    and Carlota

    What remains of the French occupation in Mexico?


    Mexican law is based on the Napoleonic Code. Mexico's architecture was greatly influenced. Popular dances such as "La Varsoviana" are of French origin. Mexico's bread and pastries were greatly influenced. In Cuernavaca they still call the police "gendarmes." In Mexico City, El Paseo de la Reforma was Maximilian's idea of a direct route to his palace from the city's center. It was modeled after the Champs-lysees. If you travel through the small towns in the state of Jalisco you will see many blonde, blue-eyed, 100 percent Mexicans of French descent.

    Maximilian and Carlota loved to entertain. Mexican folk orchestras frequently played at French weddings. Out of the French word mariage evolved the name of Mexico's mariachis. What would Mexico be without mariachis? Inconceivable.

    What to watch for and discuss later:


    When does this stop being Jurezs story and become the story of something or someone else? How distracting is it knowing that few if any of the actors on the screen are Mexican? Does it matter? Could Maximilian have done anything differently? What? This film was made in 1939 [the same year as The Wizard of Oz and Gone with the Wind], and is praised for having a non-stereotypical presentation of Mexico and Mexicans. Do you agree? Give examples. How would this film be different if it were made now? How would you cast it?
