d bad breath. Tita received roses from Pedro, she made quail and rose petal soup to show him her love and then everyone who ate it was having almost sexual feelings. It was ridiculous to comprehend because everyone was feeling how she was though her food and no one gets like that in real life.Tita’s sister Gertrudis, ran off with revolutionaries and her mother basically sinned her and made everyone forget of her existence. She burned pictures, papers and her birth certificate to make it official, she also told her two daughters to not have any contact with her. Gertrudis comes back later in the film to show another comical part, she’s now a general for the revolutionaries. She orders one of the soldiers around, like a man, but yet she is a woman. This is putting another woman’s role into a different hand, because I’ve never heard of any women being generals or anywhere high in the ranks. None of her soldiers are female, she is the only one within the group, yet she is the general, if the mother only knew!The mother dies in the film because of her stubborness. She doesn’t like the fact that Tita and Pedro may be doing something they shouldn’t since she is married to Rosura so she has them move away. During this time, the priest tells her that it isn’t a wise idea to not have a man around, but mother, Elena, believes that she can take care of herself and her ranch just fine because she has done it for so long already. She ends up dead, because she didn’t take his advice because she feels she is strong enough, but she gets a group of guerrillas who rape and kill on the ranch. If this woman had only listened to a man, and let alone a priest.In conclusion, this film was very confusing and I’m not sure if its an accurate account of the actions of women during the Mexican Revolution. I believe that there are many traditions like the one seen about marriage in Mexico, but I think...
