The film's title is important for its pre-viewing suggestivity. In terms of the filmic discourse vis-à-vis the overall migration phenomenon, the film contains "voids," but La jaula de oro's invocation of the migration genre through intermedial relationships with preexisting texts helps fill some gaps. Two apparent discursive "voids" are the lack of specificity of motivation or destination for four adolescents' traversal and the lack of dialogue. Among its compensating "virtues," the film focuses on human relationships and some of the difficulties faced by migrants, and the "bad" is nuanced in different agents of ill doing. Primary among the film's virtues is the privilege granted to the image. It is at these levels of intermediality and discourse focus on human relationships that the award-winning film is to be appreciated. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Film/TV Criticism and Review src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Studies in Latin American Popular Culture is the property of University of Texas Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
