I loved the movie, and as I said above, I think one of its big handicaps is that nobody in the US even knows that Mexico had a revolution ( not to mention our participation in it, to protect the oil).
I wish more people knew the real history of Mexico; I bet even a lot of the Mexico-haters here would change their tune then.
The real story is too often Mexicans changed one rotten system for another. In some 400 years Mexico has never been a nation based on the respect for and the rule of law.
