The Mexican-American Border. This paper discusses the history of the Mexican-American border. In his film, "Lone Star", John Sayles provides his audience with a personal look into the relationships between Mexicans and Anglos, as they exist today. What we find are relationships between the two that run generations deep, passed down from one to the next with the line between them getting blurrier and blurrier with each. The story takes place in present day south Texas, where a skeleton has been unearthed and the local sheriff is forced to revisit the past to solve the mystery of who it is and who killed him. Through a series of flashbacks, Sayles depicts fifty years of history and evolution in the small border town, and, in a surprise ending, indicates that the line between the two races isn't nearly as rigid as it seems.
