So okay, new movie coming out about well what the title says...so is it racist or not?
Here's a Summary from Yahoo: One morning, California wakes up to find that one third of its population has disappeared. A strange thick pink fog surrouncs the state and communication outside its boundaries is completely cut off. As the day goes by, we discover that the characteristic that links the 14 million disappeared is their Hispanic background. The economic, political and social implications of this disaster threaten the state's way of life. Suddenly disrupted are the lives of Mary Jo Quintana (Maureen Flannigan), teacher and housewife; Senator Abercrombie (John Getz), hastily promoted to Govenror; Louise McClaire (Muse Watson), ranch owner and agribusiness rep; and Lila Rodriguez (Yareli Arizmendi), reporter and apparently the only Latina left behind. For all of them, the cracks in their private lives are forced wide open. As time goes by, the State continues to deteriorate - garbage has taken over the streets and a mood of desperation pervades as the citizens watch the infrastructure start to crumble. |

QUOTE(lakerfever2476 @ Jun 12 2004, 7:15 PM) Well i think that the movie is trying to say that most mex's are like that. I don't like those Mexicans in my school that wear makeup and act all pompous and crap but I don't hate all of them. Some Mexicans are cool too. They are so nice. I think that's what the movie is trying to say. Wait.. i said that.. Darn! are like what? i'm sorry if this is considered member bashing ![]() ![]() |
