The growth of the commercial world of cinemas has seen the globalization of cinematic language as films are accessible globally, thus leading to the spread of behaviors portrayed in the movies. Globalization has seen Mexican films take a different turn, where the language of violence and sexuality have become a norm, evidenced by the movie Y tu mama Tambien, where a woman has sex with two boys (Acevedo-Muñoz, 2004). The movie challenges the traditional notions of machismo and male dominance, indicating a revolution in modern Mexican society. According to Saldaña-Portillo (2005), the film shows the shifting nature of Mexican sovereignty that NAFTA predominantly held. The movie and the chosen articles present a comprehensive narration of how women can beat the socially held norms to live as strong, independent women, “chingona.” Essay Outline 1. Introduction 2.
