Use appropriate accents. Death is a mystery to everyone. The movie Macario and the play La dama del alba shows great examples of how Latin American culture views death. Latin American countries view the fate of death very differently than North America. In Macario and in La dama del alba death is represented by a person. In Macario death is seen as a person who Macario shares food with. The man in this scene is called Death. In La dama del alba death is the Pilgrim who comes to the house of a family. Both Death and the Pilgrim try to get people to understand that death is a matter of fate that they cannot control. This is quite different how North American views death. North American culture fights death by keeping culture focused on life and how to live longer. Another way that Latin American countries view the fate of death differently than North America is that they celebrate loved ones who have died already. In Macario, the movie opens with the celebration of el Día de los Muertos. This festival allows dead people to visit the families who are still living. This type of celebration would never happen in North America. Most North Americans look at the fate of dead people as they would never return to earth. To North America, death is sad and only life is to be celebrated. Foreign Language Spanish SPA 202 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
