##This movie is interesting because it is filmed and produced by the community theater group of Cuetzalan, the city where some of the action takes place and near the town of Yohualichan, where the colloquium between Santo Luzbel (Saint Lucifer) and San Miguel, Archangel, is supposed to take place. The dialogue is almost completely performed in the Native American language Nahuatl, the language spoken by the Aztecs and still spoken by 1.7 million people in Mexico. You may need to watch the movie more than once to be able to analyze the images since you also must read the subtitles.  

Like the Native people from Even the Rain, the people of Yohualichan struggle against prejudices from the local government as well as from the priest in their parish.  

PART 1: Select two scenes that contain Native characters that were the most surprising, moving, or confusing (use time stamps: beginning and end of scene) and discuss how the director stages the scene and how the Native participants are represented. Remember to use at least one scene from near the end of the film.

Pay attention to the camera angles and perspectives as they relate to the action and the mood of selection.  You can also identify signs and codes that contribute to the mise-en-scne.
