In movies and TV, how come Mexico always has a dusty orange tint?

El Mariachi
Once upon a time in mexico
Desperado

Were all dope.


Antonio Banderas went on a crazy run for a while.

You thinking of Robert Rodriguez and you forgot From Dusk Till Dawn.

But...once upon a time in Mexico was garbage.

That movie Traffic sticks out the most. All the Mexico scenes looked dirty and dingy on purpose.

Cacs gonna cac.

Banderas wasn't in El Mirachi tho. So Rodriguez it is.

I remember being hyped for once upon a time but I was so disappointed. Terrible movie but glad someone liked it.

They're trying to put a positive spin on this:
Orange/Blue Contrast - TV Tropes

Once you notice it, its annoying.

Unoriginal directors and cinematographers.

 

[KravenMorehead™]

Someone did it back when and it blew young cinematographers' minds

and they grow up and wanna do their version of the thing they watched.



I notice the same thing in other forms of entertainment like music, comic books, etc.

Nah, the mexican orange tint is not so much about making colors pop, but more about representing a warm, sunny climate. Hollywood movies use it not only for mexico, but for latin america in general and even for places like florida (bad boys for example). Basically when the yellow/orange is highlighted, you know its warm, when the blue is stronger you automatically know its cold. They also do it in game of thrones. Compare the colors of scenes shot in the north, which are dark and blue, to the bright yellow/red scenes taking place in kings landing.
