I have to say that I actually really enjoyed Maria, Full of Grace. I did not realize that the film was in some way about drug trafficking beforehand, but I thought that the film was very well done. In terms of the theme for the week, representation, this film seemed to be a great choice. In my opinion, this movie in particular seemed to present a very realistic portrayal of a young girl doing whatever it takes to support her family and figure out what she wants in life, even if that means taking a few unfavorable detours along the way. Obviously this film didn’t really make life in Colombia look like a walk in the park, but it did feel like an honest account of some of the hardships and some of the complicated, sometimes immoral decisions that one may face in trying to better themselves against insurmountable odds. I think that this type of story is one that a lot of people can relate to, I mean obviously not the whole drug mule thing, but as far as trying to find oneself and making tough transitions in life.
What did you guys think about this film in terms of representation?
