Common Ground

What is also important is what the three films have in common. All three could be labled as chicano new wave films but for diffrent reasons. As I learnt from reading a post on "The Noodle", a blog set up for Welling Media and Film I discoverd many traits which can belong to chicano new wave cinema.

All three films appear to have a very low budget.

Apear to be anti Hollywood (Hetrogenous) in construction (i.e, documentry and Non-Linear narrative etc)and also distribution. Motorcycle Diaries being distributed by film 4.

Motorcycle Diaries and City of God both have moderate sex references, appears to be a theme in most latin american films, except Bus 174 due to it being more of a documentry piece.

All three are based on true events and display a difference in social class.
