He has also immersed himself into the cinema, helping directors to turn some of his books into films.
Nowadays, García Márquez's fame has become [[ItsPopularNowItSucks a little awkward to Latin American writers]], since it has generated the impression that all the literature of the zone is about angels, jungles and countryside. As a countermovement, the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McOndo McOndo literary movement]] has been created by writers trying to present a more actualized Latin America.
