Because a lot of Americans have this weird perception of Mexico not being a modern country, and that filter makes it look sort of antique-y and dingy

We just going to pretend they dont do this simply to convey theyve traveled a distance to another biome?

When you think about it, when has Mexico ever been portrayed as a place of residence rather than a place to deal with criminals.

There was the season of Eastbound & Down when Kenny Powers was living in Mexico and playing on a baseball team there

yellow/brown tint is visual shorthand for "this place is a shithole"

so yeah, Mexico and the middle east usually get hit by it

I like the yellow/orange tint. Gives it a nice atmosphere.

I swear the only depiction I saw where Mexico looked like a nice place was a movie called For Greater Glory about the Cristero War.

I'm sure there are very green and forested places but most films show it as an offshoot of Texas.

Does anyone know of any other movies where Mexico actually looks...pleasant?

Nacho Libre is mainly set in a peaceful looking countryside, I guess.

In Breaking Bad how are you supposed to know whether you are in new or old Mexico without the filter?

I just assumed it was done for more deserty areas to make it seem sunnier. Like how Seattle and London tend to be blue for cloudy areas. What exactly makes it racist?

I feel like its mostly just for atmosphere.

What's really disturbing about this trend is that it's so commonplace that *not* having these yellow/brown & blue/gray filters looks weird to people
