I thoroughly enjoyed Luis Valdez's Corridos. He directed it very well in a way that the audience was lured in softly and transitioned from topic to topic very smoothly. Starting in a bar, you feel a home-like warming sentiment among the people, with drinks, singing, and dancing in the atmosphere. The first scene was funny with slap stick comedy and lots of farce humor; the first scene was humorous and helped lock the viewers into the Corridos, smoothly transitioning to the next scene with a more serious topic. The next episode dealt with the uncomfortable topic of incest which was handled very well in its presentation. The acting was modest in that everything was not spelt out for the audience in which the audience could make the conclusions themselves. The make-up became more advanced as the scene continued and the costumes changed with the action of the scene, whether it was a dance or approaching death, the costumes helped mock the motion of the changing scenes. The third episode dealt with a topic that is truly universal; love and war. In this scene, women are empowered with their voice and participation in the Mexican civil war. Another aspect of this skit was the interracial cooperation. The Anglo man and the Mexican woman create a bond which breaks the stereotypical social segregation of the two races, creating a fine example not only for hispanic and anglo viewers, but other cultures that are divided too. The final episode dealt with the topic of illegal immigration, using slap stick humor to end Los Corridos.
