ENGLISH
I hope both of these women win the Oscar to Best Actress tonight for their outstanding performances. Glenn Close has never won an Oscar throughout her rich acting career and Yalitza Aparicio had a great debut in her acting experience. Yalitza is a Mexican woman of Mixtec ancestry who is fluent in Spanish & learned Mixtec.

ESPAÑOL
Mis favoritas a llevarse el Óscar para mejor actriz son…Glenn Close y Yalitza Aparicio. Ojalá y empaten pues la veterana Glenn Close nunca ha ganado un Óscar y Yalitza tuvo un excelente debut como actriz. Yalitza es una joven mexicana de origen mixteco que habla el español y aprendió el mixteco.

Febrero 14: Roma es Amor

roma_1_0ENGLISH

If you spell the word Roma backwards you get the word Amor (Love in Spanish). This movie which takes place in a Mexico City neighborhood called Roma (after the Italian capital city) is full of love. The main character is Clio (played by Yalitza Aparicio, a kindergarten teacher). Clio is a Mixtecan maid that comes from the southern state of Oaxaca working in the largest city in the World. She represents a “motherly” figure which many of us in Mexico who grew up with a maid are familiar with. The movie has polarized Mexicans. Many are happy that Yalitza has been nominated for an Oscar in the “Best Actress Category” but others are criticizing her for her lack of acting experience, her ethnicity and even for her appearance. In real life, Yalitza is a very smart and lovely person who has dealt in a very elegant way against prejudice.

La palabra Roma al revés es Amor. La película de Alfonso Cuarón revela un personaje llamado Clio y que está lleno de amor que se desenvuelve ante ambientes carentes de amor como un divorcio familiar así como un año turbulento políticamente hablando para México. En la película Clio es una empleada doméstica de origen Mixteco que trabaja con una familia de clase media de la Colonia Roma de la Ciudad de México. En la vida real Yalitza Aparicio efectivamente pertenece a la etnia Mixteca del estado de Oaxaca pero se dedica a la enseñanza de infantes siendo educadora en el kindergarten. Su nominación al Oscar como “Mejor Actriz” ha sido recibida de manera polarizada por los mexicanos. Lo importante es que la actuación de una paisana nuestra está siendo reconocida a nivel mundial y eso nos debería dar gusto.
