not the story does not fall narrated in the superficiality easy, obvious nods exploit the curiosity and sensitivity of the viewer, or used or so abused, that they call local color, folklore, cultural exoticism, or whatever you call and that causes so much excitement in the clientele of such a tourism company in their drives to and from so many people to look at not what is but what it was. is not a film about the ancient culture. Is a current movie about real people, which among other things and be well, keep their rationales strongly embedded in the worldview of the divine and the afterlife they collect from their roots deep in the Andes.

honest pure That also shows that the same people who gather under their beach umbrellas and rockers around poor and rudimentary swimming pools, clear "look" Hollywood graves dug in the ground as rough high. What we must have clear and the movie knows that companies are no longer pristine.

other considerations do not matter all that you have made and will make this movie without reasonable doubt. I am sure that, after reading some criticism, including Peru, where layered mercilessly and yet, on the edges of the Nina, Pinta or Santa Maria, I found the film as that goes on in their heads. That is much ethnocentrism, abundant hints of racism, sexism from the bad, I confess, that in such items I am not entirely free of blame, my gender biases must imagine walking around and I still like a little differences, since I do not think make anyone superior or better. Nor damage.

Well I also think that the criticisms have oversized main objectives of the film. Or the ideology behind can be shooting in Peru still convulsed. Maybe for a syndrome of "mind scared."

Far from what I've seen real and from my knowledge and belief of the viewer, which specializes in film I'm not, I have received from the speech that safe and sound travels through the film.

Peru showed the world in its ethnic diversity, ie as it is. That did not seem that the tomb-cum-Hollywood pool involves creating and encouraging stereotypes as some critics have said confused out there.

That reality is reality.

In a social setting that I think, as Peru did not know where the scene takes place in some measure to accompany the reality of a society with its roots buried deep in its long history of ethnic groups that settled here were, here and here were the invaders learned to survive and save from extinction as they could, which is a huge part of their culture, and it is this culture that meeting the film, cleverly overlapped and crouched away from the white world even if this coexists.

When you see this movie, is likely to sit in their own flesh, the hardness of life of Peruvians and maybe, if I mistake not, look like the face that hardness from a worldview ancestral full of magic and religion, which mocks its authenticity alien world they serve.

not the story. I invite you as they can look at it and see it. I invite you to get excited about the world of Fausta, with their songs, with their myths, with their magical relationship with death, with their dead, cursed and denied their sexuality, and how despite all its vicissitudes and pains old do not disappear of its verses Quechua love for life, or make your mouth strange, beautiful flowers and carrying loaded full fantasy woman.

From what I left in me, an anthropological view on issues of Americanisms that is always on guard, I really feel that much, and will important thing for me to see to share in next time.
