The article published on the news website The Guardian on May 1, 2013 is called Has Mexico's film industry beenhelped or harmed by Hollywood?The article reports at length that the success of comedy Nosotros los Nobles confirms Mexico as a cinematic supremo. The drama The Crime of Father Amaro is considered to be the highest-grossing local film of all time. It’s about a Mexico City millionaire who strips his kids of all their luxuries by staging a fake police raid, forcing them to drive buses, wait cantina tables and other humiliations conducive to heartwarming life lessons. Director Gary Alazraki pays attention to the fact that Latin America is a region with very small middle class. And that’s why the contrast between rich and poor is interesting to depict. As blockbuster season unfolds, the movie will the the most successful, $15m seems like nothing for it.

The article open secret that Latin America in general is heavily Hollywood-dominated, that’s why homemade films had just a 6.1% share in 2010. However, there's been a recovery since the dark days of the mid-90s. It was a period when cinemas were flooded by US imports after the country joined the North American Free Trade Area. Nosotros los Nobles proves that the local-language production can be a part of the intensifying pattern of intimate US studio involvement in overseas markets.

The article draws a conclusion that big neighbours can lend a helping hand, as well as smother; stories of rich and poor are rarely as simple they seem.

In my opinion, it’s difficult to became leading if you’re at the bottom of technical and industrial progress. To be honest, the reason that Nosotros Los Nobles has been a smash hit is because the movie is not like the mainstream Mexican movies.
