I loved this movie from beginning to end.
The caudillos were a brutal occupier and they were never interested in being just or fair to the indigenous people. Didn’t kill off the Indian population? For crying out loud they certainly slaughtered enough of them. They put a brutal end to the Aztecs that’s for sure. Bribery(’’la mordita) and corruption are the law in Mexico and always have been.
Dang you’re right. I’ve flown into the Albany airport enough times you think I would have gotten it right ;)
Was there some particular feature or resource that made Mexico attractive to the European adventurists, or was it merely the most easily accessed political unit of any size that could readily be molded in a way to fit their intentions?
