Why is Mexico shown in yellowish tint in Hollywood movies?

[AkshiJanjua]

Lol 😆

Oversaturated yellows... just to make sure you remember it's Mexico, a "hotter climate" country... and they would do similar for blue filters, if Bond's were to be in Russia.

Mexico is hot

Mexico City is not actually that hot

Mexico is hot, though.

Honest answer? They want to convey that it is dirty, poor, and dangerous. Hence the brown, darkened tint. You'll also notice that Mexico pretty much only shows up in Hollywood movies in relation to criminal organizations and drugs. It's almost always a gritty drama, never a happy story.

Yes, it's true they love to stereotype us and our culture then export that image to the world

[AkshiJanjua]

Specially showing Mexico full of drugs
That has become a stereotype because of Hollywood

[Aurora1010]

Yes, exactly! Netflix is full of narco series and documentaries

[Aurora1010]

And thanks to hollywood movies too

[AkshiJanjua]

Half of the people probably think Pablo Escobar was from Mexico lol

I noticed that as well when watching Hawaii Five O. I thought it just had to do with the (can't think of the popular Spanish word) but it basically puts you into the telenovela/hispanic setting like the black/white films put you in the oldies classic style/feel

It's not just Mexico, but probably to show the transition between scenery? It's not really necessary, but yea.

Mexico is usually warmer than the US, so a "warmer" filter gives the viewer a warm sensation.

Hollywood Supremacy
Hollywood elites keeping the Mexicans down
It is how Weinstein showed his contempt for his gardener and pool boy

[shushhhhh]

Hollywood forgot to take off the blue light filter

[ChefPapiChulo]

They don’t.
