INDIANA JONES IN THE TEMPLE OF STUPIDITY
In the 70s, the Argentine singer / songwriter Piero the same as "My dear old" - wrote a song called "Americans" one of their songs said Napoleon for them, was an Italian gentleman, who organized the thing without American .... If they know of history, not for reading but have seen in American cinema .... " Today, thirty years later, this song takes on new force but more brazen and less subtle, I mean the snafu recently released "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" when I read the first reviews on errors (do not be horror?) in I thought the movie exaggerated given fictitious court had to see it with my own eyes and went to see the movie and really could not believe it, not because of what was presented on the screen but by the insulting audacity of the "geniuses" of American cinema in which I understood clearly not the inaccuracies of ignorance but conscious and directed aggressive neocolonial minds no longer see us as your backyard but as your trash back in this era of globalization pompous.
For starters, try to merge the Andean and Mayan myths plywood with English conquistadors and the result is bad, the figure of the crystal skulls belong to the oldest legends of the Maya and Aztecs, but Indiana rejura oath and they will find the famous skulls no less than in the Amazon which of course will lead, as not-to the enormous treasures of El Dorado and it should keep track of the conquistador Francisco de Orellana who are wrapping nothing less than a burial pit in the Nazca lines Indiana very categorical in its "quality" as an archaeologist and historian and holding in their hands a photo of Francisco Pizarro! states: "... there Orellana disappeared in 1500" that is, when not even born (Francisco de Orellana was born in 1511 and died in the Amazon in 1546), then and now on its way to anticipate the "evil" Soviet begins talking about very plump Peru while extending a large map of Belize, a country that recently gained independence from Britain in 1975 and was a colonial enclave in Honduras.
Then, finally, come to Nazca and is greeted with strains of ranchera music while they walk around busts with men wearing skirts and poncho and chullo, or the clueless Indiana believes the Nazca Lines are in Cuzco or the backward native Peruvians are able to walk at 40 º C with thick clothing Andes in the Pampa of Nazca, and at the height of audacity to the question of where learned to speak Quechua, very loose bones that it taught while Pancho Villa was living with the revolutionary Pancho Villa. So continue with the same incidents from previous films from carnivorous ants, swamps and jeep chases without dropping the hat when along comes none other than the temple of Chichen Itza in the Amazon jungle! and, to put a cherry on the cake Indiana Jones finished putting his stamp of irony when circumspect statement: "The greatest treasure is knowledge", while in the throes of a mixture of Mayan and Incan ruins in the Amazon jungle towards the horizon rises an alien spacecraft in a clear allusion to the bizarre idea "origin" of Latin American cultures alien, that is, us Latinos, we are primitive beings as much proto-humans have learned to wear clothing and footwear that an alien has taught us and now can only hope to one FTA going to sweep the toilets in New York. 
The film has served its purpose: an underestimation humiliating to Latin American culture in general and Peru in particular. Until some years ago and alienating manipulatory messages of social consciousness were subtle and larvae, are now hideously grotesque, globalization has given budding deer patent for scorched earth in the spirit of the people who aspire to build our own destiny . To a film production with a budget of 130 million dollars we can not consider that this is intellectual laziness but a very clear and direct message that goes to our youth and children: From the border with Mexico to Patagonia, there is no difference between Aztec Inca and Mapuche, the end of the day all these people are cheap labor for American North.
course, is not the first time we fit these pearls, just recently while filming the latest installment of "Agent 007" were unable to distinguish between Aymara, and Araucanian, they did not and simplify problems putting in the same bag Bolivians and Chileans, and a little further back in the movie "The Godfather" can be seen as a directory mobster decides to venture into drug sales to expand the market and one of the gangster in a fit "moral" should not sell drugs in schools that need to protect children and should rather address the sale of drugs to blacks. We are then notified. Mario Dominguez Olaya
