What I knew was very much stereotypical the compared to my knowledge today. Telenovelas' influence on society is huge, from large companies like Telemundo, to the sub-themes and messages that are hidden within the complicated and intricate plots. Like Anthony, the Intrada stuck out to me because it different from what I was used to. I noticed that the credit sequence and theme song came about 20 minutes in and the beginning of the telenovela was used to recap previous episodes and get the viewer hooked on the present one. My telenovela was Señora Acero, and much like El Señor de los Cielos, it is about violence, drugs, and relationships. This is a popular theme in many new novels as an alternative to completely Rosa novelas. The characters are developed on multiple levels, such as love, family, and success in a dangerous industry.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05479456566106954727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945963440619724585.post-67194442947994815282015-12-03T13:48:57.113-05:002015-12-03T13:48:57.113-05:00I was not a fan of telenovelas before coming to th...I was not a fan of telenovelas before coming to this class either, but not on purpose. I had never really been exposed to novelas before because no one around me really watched them. I, like you, believed that they were just soap operas with over dramatic plots and silly close up shots to increase the drama even further. Upon studying these telenovelas further, I've realized the depth that they actually possess and I like your analysis of Bajo el Mismo Cielo based on how it combines aspects of different telenovelas. I agree that it could be considered a "de Ruptura" telenovela because of it's use of different novela characteristics instead of a traditional rosa. I was surprised by my telenovela's Intrada as well. It was very upbeat and not dramatic at all, as I was expecting.

Disfruto viendo telenovelas con más acción y suspenso por lo que mantiene mi atención. Me pareció genial que la canción del tema es "Bamba", porque eso es una canción muy alegre y establece el tono para la telenovela. Lo que dijo acerca de los acentos mexicanos es también interesante. Ahora quiero ver "Bajo el Mismo Cielo" para que pueda escuchar tambien. <br /><br />-Stacy SpectorAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
