EXCLUSIVE: Hollywood’s LATINO LIST 2025 is a SHAMELESS, AGENDA-DRIVEN FARCE—and we have the PROOF. In a year when iconic filmmakers like Guillermo del Toro released major work, the media’s so-called “definitive list” of the 25 best Latino films SHAMELESSLY EXCLUDED his “Frankenstein” in favor of obscure, hyper-political indies preaching DIVISION and VICTIMHOOD. This isn’t curation; it’s ACTIVISM masquerading as criticism, and it’s SABOTAGING the very community it claims to celebrate.
From a film where Pablo Escobar’s hippopotamus LECTURES audiences on colonialism (“Pepe”) to a documentary exposing how evangelical Christianity “hijacked” Brazil (“Apocalypse in the Tropics”), the list REVELS in the most EXTREME and NICHE narratives. It promotes a documentary about the Tlatelolco massacre as “timely,” a trans coming-of-age western (“The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo”), and a thriller about Brazil’s military dictatorship (“The Secret Agent”). IS THIS TRULY the FULL SPECTRUM of the Latino experience, or a deliberate, radicalized SELECTION designed to provoke and divide?
Even the description of the #1 film admits it’s a “culmination” of the director’s political themes. This is NOT about artistic merit; it’s about PUSHING AN IDEOLOGY. The list IGNORES mainstream success and audience enjoyment in favor of films that serve a narrow, activist worldview. It’s a BETRAYAL of the diverse, vibrant storytelling Latinos are capable of, reducing a rich culture to a series of GRIM political sermons.
Ask yourself: who does this narrative really serve? The uncomfortable truth is that it paints an entire people as perpetual victims and radicals, a distortion as dangerous as any stereotype. This is the cultural gatekeeping that is REWRITING our reality before our very eyes.
