What’s with the weird dimensions of this video?
As she stated, Almodóvar is one of the Spain’s most famous director, nevertheless Americans can’t say his name correctly, even the movie critic in question. Seriously, just put his name on Forvo or something like that. This make us question her expertise in the subject…
The film I’m Still Here is a completely ideological and manipulative film. The film does not mention that the current President Lula, whom they all support, was an armed guerrilla fighter at the time the film is set. Lula and several guerrillas who are staunch fans of Che Guevara and communist dictators in Latin America wanted to implement communism in Brazil, and the military took action at the request of the people to prevent this communist tragedy. They are all in favor of Lula, who takes money from the working population of Brazil and gives it to artists with the famous Rouanet Law. It’s all manipulation. Brazil is in the hands of communists again thanks to a judge named ALEXANDRE DE MORAES. Brazil need help.
