as a portuguese guy, stuff that pissed me off in this movie


- a surgeon in portugal makes good money. you can easily afford a bmw (or better) and live in a very nice house. Portugal is not north korea or kenya. i dont see the point of going to the US to live in a crappy farm...

- the mother, who supposedly was a surgeon in portugal, doesnt speak portuguese. she speaks something that is suppose to be portuguese, but trust me, its not.

- the daughter, who learned portuguese from her mother, on the other hand, speaks perfect portuguese (go figure...)

- you're not suppose to dance to Fado (at least that kind of sad, depressing Fado).

Seeing as the beginning of the movie seems to be in the sixties, I'd assume that the mother immigrated to the states in the forties which might explain why one would leave Europe despite having a well paying job.
