Mythology Of Mexico

Rating:
Summary: Right Good DVD
Review: Now if you ask me, and plenty of folks interested in modern mythology do now and again, this here DVD is quite possibly the best way you are ever going to pick up anything on Mexican mythology short of taking a course at your local junior college.

I am fascinated by the mythology of them folk and the way they incorporate common things in to their general repertory of mythological story telling, like eagles and rocks and cactus and the like. I put this here DVD on and the youngin's came in to look at it with me and they all lost interest after about seven minutes, so me and mama got to sit there in peace and quiet with Bernice (that's Betty Mae's cousin who is staying here with us until she and Lester can get things worked out) and we watched it from start to finish without having Junior in there pestering us with incessant questions about every fact and detail.

We got us a Chesterfield County mythology too, but it don't go back as far as Mexican mythology. Ours dates from about 1978 and is centered around Elmer Cobb's Barbeque stand and the goings on there about. Elmer was a cantankerous old curmudgeon and that is probably why folk talk about him so. He is gone now, died at the ripe old age of 107 years. He didn't die of old age, he died in the tragic Rendering Factory Implosion that you may have heard about. The implosion was so powerful that it sucked trees in to the rendering factory compound from across Route 8 and that means they were pulled all the way across Route 8, across the rendering factory parking lot, up the steps, and into the factory. That is some kind of implosion. Elmer was in there tinkering with the hog lard centrifuge and that is when the whole thing happened. Some folk think his tinkering may have been the reason for the implosion, but that was never proven.

Go ahead on and get this here DVD if you have a hankering' to learn more about the Mexicans and their myths. We did, and we are sure enough glad about our decision.
