Diego Luna on Directing ‘Ashes,’ His Fears About the Future of Movies and the Prejudice Immigrants Face: ‘It’s Based on Ignorance and Selfishness’
- What’s ‘Ashes’ all about?
- Why immigration is so personal to Diego Luna.
- His real fears for the future of cinema.
Finally, some news about Diego Luna that really hits home!
We just heard him open up about his new film, ‘Ashes.’ It sounds incredibly personal. A family drama, you see. About a young woman leaving Mexico with her brother. Their journey? To reunite with their mother in Spain.
This movie isn’t just a project for Luna. He directed it. Co-wrote the screenplay too. He grew up in Mexico. So, he understands those journeys. The longing. The challenges.
His connection shines through. You can almost feel the weight of their travels. The rich, earthy tones of Mexico might just meet the sun-drenched palette of Spain in its visual storytelling. What an aesthetic!
Luna also spoke about his worries. For the future of movies, yes. But also about the prejudice immigrants face. He calls it out plainly. Says it’s ‘based on ignorance and selfishness.’ Wow.
It’s a powerful statement. Shows how much this topic means to him. We appreciate his honesty.
Speaking of big industry worries, Michael Patrick King hopes nothing “apocalyptic” happens in Hollywood to warrant ‘The Comeback’ Season 4. Seems like a lot of creators are feeling the pressure.
Personal journeys are always complex. Just look at how Suraj Nambiar reportedly felt ignored after marriage to Mouni Roy. Or when Jessie James Decker plans to downsize her “annoying” breast implants. Life throws all sorts of changes our way, big and small.
Our Take
Diego Luna really gets it. His new film, ‘Ashes,’ feels like an important story for today. It’s important to see these journeys. To understand. We believe movies can truly change hearts and minds. Especially when they come from such an honest place. We can’t wait to see this one.
