pronunciation[edit]

As a non-Spanish speaker, I am curious about the pronunciation of Cuarón. Anyone know?--71.3.236.196 23:37, 25 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

qwa-RON. The "o" sounds like "row," not "on." :) Maria 03:53, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any more information on the relationship between Cuarón and Naomi Klein? He seems to be about to release a short film on her website with the same title as her upcoming book. http://www.naomiklein.org/main#

This makes no sense. What???? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.216.102.20 (talk) 02:22, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Gravity[edit]

Alfonso Cuarón Orozco (Spanish pronunciation: [alˈfonso kwaˈɾon oˈrosko]; born 28 November 1961) is a Mexican film director, screenwriter, and film producer known for such films as A Little Princess, Y Tu Mamá También, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Children of Men, and Gravity.

How can he be known for Gravity when it's not even released? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.25.144.223 (talk) 23:46, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nationality[edit]

The page says he "is a British-based[1] Mexican-born film director". Does it matter where he is based? He is still Mexican, so why should this page state that he is British-based, and Mexican-born. The best option is to state he is a Mexican film director.

Also, the page states "becoming the first Latino to win the award". Latino is a description usually given to people living in the U.S. He is Latin American, not a Latino.

Nationality[edit]

The cited source for Cuarón being British begins by saying that "He might be Mexican but". It continues with "Hailing himself as an honorary Brit, he said: ‘I am a UK resident....'" This doesn't amount to him being called a British director. Not even close.

The evidence is that he was born in Mexico and lives in Britain (hence "UK resident"). He does not have British nationality. — Blue-Haired Lawyer ^t 00:46, 28 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Roman Polanski Comment[edit]

The Roman Polanski sentence may be biased. Artist like Asia Argento have also signed the petition and is not covered in there bio.

In 2009, Cuarón signed a petition which called for the release of film director Roman Polanski, who was arrest in Switzerland in relation to his 1977 charge for drugging and raping a 13-year-old girl.[31][32][33]

I don't think it's biased, it's irrelevant altogether. In any way it affects Cuarón's life, or even Polanski's. (CC) Tbhotch^™ 00:11, 20 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
