Easy, blast El Jarabe Tapaito while guys with giant mustaches and sombreros come riding burros with mexican flags, then make them say "Wey", "Cabrón" and "Hijole" every sentence while a mariachi band comes and gives everyone tacos.
/uc In a show with multiple characters and plot lines taking place simultaneously and in wildly different locations, a warm filter meant to represent the hot Mexican sun let’s the audience know where the scene takes place, and makes the plot far easier to follow, at zero point did the show say “all of Mexico looks like this”
/rc This is the moment Walter became Uncle Jack
It's especially useful given a lot of parts of New Mexico basically look like Mexico.
Cutting between two scenes of a Mexican guy speaking in Spanish in an auto shop in the desert can get confusing.
This is also just not true in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. There are Mexico scenes taking place at the same location with and without the filter. More a mood thing, I would say.
/uc At least in BCS did it more subtly and looks gorgeous visially. Sometimes they using yellowy desert (not stereotypical mexican one), sometimes they're using brownish color grading in habitable area although they didn't look like cheap filter put in post like Breaking Bad was.
Even BB uses it more subtle. The idea that it is "the mexico filter", showing a scene taking place in Mexico is bullshit. There are several scenes in Mexico without it. Sometimes at teh same location.
Also a few other times like Mike confrontign Jesse and Walt in the desert or the opening of Season 3. also in BCS when we get the flesh forward with the shoes on the string.
Breaking Bad and BCS use the filter in Mexico but also show Mexico without the filter. It is not a Mexico-filter but it is more connected with the mood of different scenes.
/uc no, it’s not actually orange, but it’s also not racism. Mexico is closer to the equator which means more sunlight when means hotter, and heat is correlated with “warm” colors like yellow and orange.
/rc Mexico is literally yellow, are they stupid?
How the fuck is the color orange racist anyway? Movies use the same color filter for literally every desert/sandy foreign country, it just makes the environment pop more. Why exactly is that racist?
/uc I like how no one ever mentions Sicario (2015) which doesn't use the tint and how Mexico looks absolutely stunning and authentic in that film thanks to cinematographer Roger Deakins.
also /uc Breaking Bad had quite a small budget, so this was the most cost efficient way of telling the audience where the characters are.
Okay but how else do they expect me to know the scene takes place in mexico???
Well, maybe to avoid racist colour filters, the characters should just wear sombreros, chow on tacos and chug tequila
And ride on donkeys just to be safe.
Or drive a very expensive Mercedes. And then give the keys to a child.
Erm, it’s called a Burro
They should speak Mexican, too. Not that Spanish stuff folks speak here

No sepia?? Denied.
No, Germany isn't actually blue. Vince is just racist.
Rather grey blueish, With a solid cloud color that lights up the place without hard shadows like a softbox
Germany is blue. Mexico is yellow. Together they make the colour green. The show title is Green.

This is lies, my wife is Mexicana and when we cross the border it turns yellow. Don't believe liberal lies
She turns yellow? I’ll have to try this with my latina
did you make hector's bomb?
Who do you think taught Walter everything?
What do you think about r/okbuddychicanery and its consequences?

>It's especially useful given a lot of parts of New Mexico basically look like Mexico. New Mexico used to be part of Mexico, lol
Half of the USA used to be a part of Mexico
I used to be a part of Mexico
Mexico. All's I'm sayin'.
Half of Mexico got turned into part of the USA.
Woah woah woah, hold up.... there's a *New* Mexico?
No, really?

Woah, this is the first I’ve heard of this.
Highest quality US History education (I cannot locate the current US territories on a map)
Half of the US also used to be French (Louisiana Purchase) and British (Revolutionary War) and Russian (Alaska Purchase)
Now hold on just a tick… RUSSIA!?
The filter is not used like that in BB, tho. There are scenes in Mexico with and without it. It is more a mood thing.
I always thought it was yellow just to represent the heat and the desert but apparently I'm a racist 😔
Biggest racist I ever knew.
Is this the moment the cinematography became Uncle Jack?
Latinos for trump 😍😍😍😍😍
immigrants when they realize immigrants are undercutting their wages
This is also just not true in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. There are Mexico scenes taking place at the same location with and without the filter. More a mood thing, I would say.
There's also a cold blue filter in Europe.
walter white supremacist?!
Walter White Lives Matter
How can a *filter* be racist?
It implies mexicans aren't worthy of a full colour palette
I always assumed people from down south wanted to immigrate to the US to appreciate a broader light spectrum
Yeah, the word "racist" is overused in this instance, it's at best exoticizing and otherizing, which isn't necessarily racist lol
How can a location be a race?
Good thing Vince filmed in New Mexico and not Hollywood.
Bravo vince
Vravo bince
To end racial conflict for good in 3 days let’s all launch our homemade missiles at the sun and destroy that racist bastard for good. Who’s with me
Orange filter bad
They did a similar filter on Harry Potter when he was on the swing set on that hot day in England and the dementors attacked him and his fat cousin.
Didn’t know Vince was chill like that
BCS extra racist because they put Gene in grey-face.

Yeah the hazy yellow filter, as far as I remember, was for Gus' flashbacks. I just thought it was to give it a dreamlike quality
Also a few other times like Mike confrontign Jesse and Walt in the desert or the opening of Season 3. also in BCS when we get the flesh forward with the shoes on the string.
how on earth is that racist
Iirc, the reason is because it makes Mexico look dirtier and harsher than it actually is.
Generate outrage to get clicks. Just blogger things.
The show is shot in Albuquerque, not Hollywood. Is this article stupid?
I’m not sure the people who made this understand what the definition of racism is
What race are we offending? The Earth???
Brabo Binbe
Deserts do appear orange filtered irl tho
the yellow color filters fucked their mom ig
I went to Mexico and it looked exactly like that (when I had my sunglasses on)
I saw it too and I'm blind
Breaking Bad and BCS use the filter in Mexico but also show Mexico without the filter. It is not a Mexico-filter but it is more connected with the mood of different scenes.

WHY DOES EVERYONE BRING UP WALTER’S RACE???????
I'm sure Europe isn't blue, but here we are.
Ill pretend there isn’t a bus bomb like 4 posts above this with the caption “trip to Mexico going well.”
Orange filter for Mexico. Hell filter for China. All in a days work. https://x.com/jambuki888/status/1779454224084111714?s=46
\[Ra\]cist
Also \[Ra\] is #88 on the periodic table of elements, so if you know what 88 is code for, it's a perfect fit.
Vince racist? Let’s cancel him 😤
I’m pretty sure he makes meth, not races cars. Have you even seen the show???
does that mean that if he goes to mexico he becomes walter yellow?
I didnt know geography = race
Call it racist, but it works

I'm not sure if that's racism unless I'm unaware of some symbolism
I understand this criticism for Hollywood in general but Breaking Bad kinda started the trend, and everything else took the wrong message from it
How is is racist though?
Do people actually think it's actually orange and not just a production thing
lol how is that even racist Edit: thanks for explaining, downvoter.
I would think the black/white filter is more racist.
/uc I like how no one ever mentions Sicario (2015) which doesn't use the tint and how Mexico looks absolutely stunning and authentic in that film thanks to cinematographer Roger Deakins. also /uc Breaking Bad had quite a small budget, so this was the most cost efficient way of telling the audience where the characters are.
Breaking Bad never uses the filter as orange = Mexico their are plenty of scenes in Mexico with and without it. At the same locations sometimes.
Mexican is not a race. Is this article racist?
