THe boat guy sees on his ticket that he's going to venezuela, then starts grilling him about why would he wanna go there. Other than the fact that they needed he character to realize that his ticket was for venezuela, why would a boat man 1). pay any attention to where you are going, and 2). start grilling you about why you'd go there, as if venezuela is some war torn toxic hell hole.
Never really got that.
The boat guy asks for a boat ride ticket but Joe presents an airline ticket for Venezuela instead. The boat guy jokes that the boat isn't travelling quite that far.
shareOOOOOOOOOOOOh. Okay.
shareNo, Davidreefer is right, after the boat guy jokes about the boat not going to Venezuela, he asks Joe "Why would you wanna go there?" twice in a rather serious and inquisitive manner. I think the point of that is just to set up Joe's answer ("Because they have no extradition treaty.") so that the viewers know why the ticket was planted there, in case they forgot about the previous scene where the police said the same thing about Venezuela. So like the woman at the airport who keeps chastising the kid for tearing the book and leaving his fingerprints to it, the boat guy's comment only serves to emphasize certain plot points, it has no deeper meaning.
maybe the boat guy never said that other sentences about venezuela except that his boat wouldnt get that far.
it could be the main characters imagination, a mixture of the face infront of him
and the memory of the sentences said by the fbi agent about venezuela
I like the idea that the boat man just hates Venezuela for some petulant reason and can't fathom for the life of him why anyone would go there voluntarily.
shareYou're pretty close to the truth regarding your second comment, the very last sentence in your post.
Venezuela used to be a very rich and safe country until Hugo Chavez came to power. He might be dead now, but his successor is continuing his ruinous policies which have brought the country down.
Venezuela has as much if not more oil than any other oil-producing nation and yet the average have-not in Venezuela is dirt poor and the elite are living it up in Caracas.
Violent crime is rampant and the police are corrupt.
Sounds like a successful Leftist policy to me and we're heading that way under our Dear Leader.
It's just a movie, folks. Details! Details!
Boom.
