La Adelita
"La Adelita" is one of the most famous '' corridos'' of the Mexican Revolution. Over the years, it has had many adaptations. The ballad was inspired by Adela Velarde Pérez, a Chihuahuense woman who joined the Maderista movement in the early stages of the revolution and fell in love with Madero. She became a popular icon and a symbol of the role of women in the Mexican Revolution. The figure of the ''adelita'' gradually became synonymous with the term ''soldadera'', the woman in a military-support (and sometimes fighting) role, who became a vital force in the revolutionary efforts through provisioning, espionage, and other activities in the battles against Mexican federal government forces. However, the song, the portrait, and the role of its subject have been given different, often conflicting, interpretations. It has also been argued that La Adelita' expressed the sensitivity and vulnerability of men, emphasizing the stoicism of the rebellious male soldier as he confronts the ...

Directed by Fernando de Fuentes, the film tells the story of a group of six friends, or ''rancheros'', who hear about the revolution and Villa and decide to join him, only to suffer the cruel reality of war under the command of ...
