Actor/producer Salma Hayek has discussed her decision to explore the theme of trans acceptance and Mexican traditions in her new festive film El Sabor de la Navidad.
The film, which Hayek also produced, will see three different Christmas narratives intertwined, including one about a Mexican mother who learns to embrace her trans daughter.
The mother, played by Mónica Dionne, must learn to accept her trans daughter, Penelope when she decides to attend Christmas dinner.
Hayek said it was important for her to produce a project that sends a strong message about her beliefs: “We believe in projects that represent the community in the right way, but also makes them think, makes them feel proud of who we are,” she told Variety.
Adding: “Sometimes when it’s a family member, you have to accept first, and then understand, but it’s important to go towards that second step so you’re not tolerating a loved one, but totally loving someone.”
Jose Tamez, the writer of the film and director of development for Hayek’s Ventanarosa Productions, said: “I was trying to present three stories about love. Being a member of the gay community, that was a story that resonated with me. And I thought it could resonate with everyone, regardless of your situation.”
Hayek often explores the seemingly impossible in her works. In the same interview, she explains how discovering Charlie and the Chocolate Factory at a young age, allowed her to realise that filmmaking has the power to expose such realities.
When discussing Mel Stuart’s 1971 masterpiece, Hayek explained how she was blown away by the magical possibilities of filmmaking: “I realised that through filmmaking, you can create so many different realities and everything was possible. And so, I wanted to be part of that business.”
El Sabor de la Navidad is heading to streaming platform ViX in November.
It’ll play in the puss pockets that are the American cities. No decent person is going to go see this trash.
I heard in a sermon:
Satan (the accuser) calls you by your sin.
Jesus (the Savior) calls you by your name.
Leftists are mimicking satan when they “identify” by various sins.
He was referring to “From Dusk To Dawn”
I went to see the second body Guard movie first was good. Ryan Reynolds’s
Hayek was in second. I not only walked out in first minutes I ran out
This woman is disgusting
It does send a strong message about her beliefs: She's an idiot and does what she's told to get, "credit."
That's been a subject of discussion over the years, but there's been no evidence presented that they aren't real, and a good deal of evidence that they grew that way entirely naturally.
Somebody has to hold down the "perfect" end of the spectrum, why not her?
So you were the guy before me?
They looked real to me in that flick. It’s been a long time since then. I prefer my nostalgia...
Just looked, 27 years.
“including one about a Mexican mother who learns to embrace her trans daughter.”
“I realised that through filmmaking, you can create so many different realities and everything was possible.”
.
No she can’t.
There are NO different realities, just this one so that is all that “is possable.”
All she is doing is writing about her mental illness manifesting in “Being a member of the gay community,”
There is no “gay comunity.”
There is only small groups of mentially ill people.
She’s not even Mexican, she’s Lebanese.

Damn straight. :)
We have some more on here too...
I’ve seen pictures of young Selma and they are very well done implants. The best implants that a billionaire’s money can buy.
One way to find out.. Send Elaine into the sauna...
So, we know what the plan is. Let’s just ignore the movie and watch it die.
Good observation.
A good crime drama till it turned into a silly vampire flick.
It's nice know the high caliber of the participants here. ;O)
She told me she just wasn’t that into you.
“Greatest scene in movie history.”
I must object, sir! ;)
As a young, randy yoot at the time of it’s release, Phoebe Cates in Fast Times At Ridgemont High left an impression that lasts to this day whenever I see the “pool scene” and/or hear “Moving in Stereo” by The Cars. ;)
As far as current day Salma is concerned, I couldn’t care less about anything she has to say on any topic.
