The evils of colonialism and romance.


Can most of you agree that some of the inconsistences were the cover up of colonialism oppression? Give it to Spanish movies to cover it up.

Also, they could have inserted some cultural aspects and how demonized people were due to their beliefs.

Oh, and the actress way to skinny. All portraying an Anglo-Saxon look. Not convincing at all.

I agree. Anytime stories involving slavery or colonialism are told from a European perspective, the cruelty and oppression are always softened. Also, did you notice that they cast a mixed-race actress to play the lead Bubi character? Typical!
