BERNAL NON-PLUSSED BY HOLLYWOOD STEREOTYPES
Mexican actor GAEL GARCIA BERNAL refuses to allow Hollywood stereotypes of central American countries anger him.
Instead, the MOTORCYCLE DIARIES star believes local filmmakers should strive to put forward the representation of their nation they wish the world to see.
He says, "Depends on the day. Depends how you’re feeling. Usually, you don’t give a s**t. It’s just movies.
"You’re aware of those images, but you don’t want to give them undue importance. Should we start a revolution because people are making bad films about us? "We should instead make our own movies, and make them good. Indirectly, a film like BABEL is the best way of balancing things."
