With Latinx representation being what it is in general, and rampant xenophobia directed towards Mexican people, this would have been an excellent opportunity to do something to represent Mexican culture. BUT we need a social worker to tell this story? not the latin family? okay. The La Llorona song they play at the end of the trailer is iconic and known through out Mexico/Mexican American communities. #LaLlorona so this is your cast huh? 👀 well the movie better take place somewhere in Mexico. Hopefully it sticks to its root that’s a Mexican Legend. All I gotta say is if I hear “Where are my kids” instead of “Donde estan mis hijos” I’m finna be mad. I’m happy that is getting the movie treatment that she deserves, but I just wish that the movie was given the full Mexican treatment the way Coco got- all Hispanic cast with Spanish speakers with English dub/sub. Cause she Mexican so she has to speak Spanish. #LaLlorona where everyone speaks English… Except the killer. They couldn’t even cast a Latina actress to take the lead role in the new film #LaLlorona.
There’s just one catch: You can’t stop her from getting into a building, and she’ll pretty much stay there until you force her out or she just decides to peace on her own.I’m tired of White Hollywood writing movies about our stories and our myths and our backgrounds, but they keep casting us as the maids and the gardeners and the slaves. In some Hispanic cultures, methods include crosses, lights, and prayers to keep children safe from La Llorona.
There are traditions for keeping La Llorona away. W! T! F! How am I supposed to calm down now? Woman Hollering Creek in Texas and Launa Canyon in Arizona were both named after La Llorona.
Isla de Las Muñecas in Mexico is a popular spot where some say you can hear her cries. While some legends say that La Llorona roams all over the world, she is also connected to some specific regions throughout Mexico and the southwestern states. But it’s *just* a scary story, right? RIGHT?! Plenty of films, shows, and books throughout history have told the story, including The Curse of the Crying Woman (1961), the very first episode of Supernatural, and La Llorona: The Weeping Woman, by Joe Hayes.
