Actually, El Mexicano is based on Jack London's short story The Mexican, and has been totally ignored as a work of true love as it was. Rest In Peace Jorge Luke who portrayed the Mexican as no other Mexican actor could have. The story is NOT about prejudice, it's historical about the Mexican Revolution and the efforts of one man who is pulled in by it to give it support in a very unselfish way. It tells about the Anglo American support that the Mexican Revolution was honored to have had. There were many Anglo American supporters of that period who wished, as still today, to be part of Mexico's history.Though, low budget and, at that time, not many would touch the subject of the relationship between both cultures. Yet, it portrayed the possibility of these cultures to become united in one common goal. Many Anglo Americans hoped for Mexico to become free, as they had become free themselves, and were identified with the struggles and toils of revolutionary actions and so many similarities during those times and those suffered by the Anglo American people.
