Il Padrino Streaming

[Tina Larzelere]

Imet Padrino in a dream before I met him in person. I dreamt about a man with a horsetail whisk, dancing and waving it around his head. He was dressed in white. I told Costello, my boyfriend, about my dream.

In his flat, Cuban food was always cooking: black beans, white rice, yucca, fried plantain, and meat dishes like ox tail, ropa vieja, a beef stew, or lechn, roasted pork. Often intermingled in those scents was the smell of marijuana, which he smoked to alleviate the pain from arthritis.

When times were tough, Padrino assisted me financially. I, in turn, provided him with a grandson. After Costello and I split up, I returned to Los Angeles with Alex and found work as a teacher. However, we would visit Padrino two to three times a year. When Padrino discovered that I could sew, I was entrusted to make and dress the Virgen. No expense was spared for her gown and cape. Every September 23rd we celebrated her feast day. Juan cleaned the house from top to bottom, but more importantly cleaned the santo room. We left offerings of food. The house filled with guests, godchildren, and other santeros from the East Bay. It was a party. Salsa music permeated the house, with congas, chants, and dancing in the hallway till the early morning hours. Everyone was expected to dress in white. White was important because it was like Teflon; the bad spirits could not stick to a person dressed in white. I discovered this one day when pregnant. The Old Man told Costello to ask me not to wear black. It was bad for the baby, the spirits would penetrate my womb.

University of Illinois Professor Carolyn Fornoff is researching 20th and 21st century Latin American literature and film, in addition to teaching several University courses, such as SPAN 326: Mexican Cinema. Growing up near a large Mexican-American culture in Texas, Fornoff became quickly interested in researching Mexican cinema.

Fornoff said that even though 18% of the population in the U.S. identifies as Latinx, only 4.5% of Netflix protagonists were Latinx. She encourages viewers to check out Pantaya as a streaming site for more Spanish-speaking films directed towards Mexican-American audiences.

Though Netflix has taken strides to be more inclusive in the future. Hopefully, Netflix continues to create more and more Spanish-inspired content that overcomes the current stereotypes and highlights the challenges experienced by and the traditions kept by the Hispanic community.
