Like Americans, Mexicans loathed moral ambiguity in lieu of triumphalism in their movies through the postwar era. Both our nations outgrew that idealism during New Hollywood, but mainstream Mexican cinema didn't regress as the American industry did during the '90s, when our Boomers' palates turned utterly saccharine.
Both can be contrasted to jidaigeki, which has always been brutally sincere in its depiction of Japan's past -- even when it served as propaganda during WWII. Anyhow, I'd love to see a good enactment of the Zapatista Uprising, but haven't yet.

Wrote about Vámonos con Pancho Villaz a 1935 film that is considered one of the bests of Mexican cinema
