New Film 'Machete' evokes war

Director Robert Rodriguez' new film 'Machete' has created controversy after a promotional trailer released online makes provoking comments about Arizona-- referring to its new immigration laws-- before depicted a machete-wielding vigilante who leads an uprising and massacre against Texas authorities. The filmmakers called it a 'special' Cinco de Mayo message to Arizona, inviting viewers into a violent on-screen race war with red-saturated 70s exploitation violence and endless killing.

Alex Jones explains how the unsettling film, currently in production here in Austin, Texas, had upset two of its crew members, both of whom happened to be hispanic, enough to contact him about its fiery message.

Interesting....Machete is a FOX film. Hhmmmmmmmm

i can't wait to see this movie!!!

if a war erupts it wont be because of some dumb movie...fear mongering and speculation at its best

yeah, , past adolescence, I kind of doubt movies make that huge an impact on peoples actions and decisions

Why, that's crazy talk ... I mean, a movie don't have the power to do all that ... why, who even remembers today that li'l movie called 'Birth of A Nation' by D. W. Griffith ... ? Or that li'l thing Leni Riefenstahl did for Onkel Dolf called 'Triumph of the Will' ... ? Or even 'Mississippi Burning' ... no no no no no ... movies just don't have NO kinda power whatever ... where'd you EVER get a crazy idea like that ... ? EV'rybody knows movies is jes' for 'entertainment' ... like that Oliver Stone movie about 'JFK' ... just entertainment ... ain't nobody tryin' to change nobody else's mind there ... ain't no 'political agenda' at work ... move along - nothin' to see here ...

exactly,,, in this day and age , with special FX in movies and games, with three , four , and five , new movies released every week,,,, I doubt most adults are being impacted on any large scale by what they see on a screen,,,, they are much more influenced by what they read and much easier to take it as fact,, than what an actor or actress is portraying

I still remember that movie Hanoi Jane made with Cong.

Made a lasting impression on many.

I didnt realize Hanoi Jane was a movie, I thought it was just a slanderous name they gave Jane Fonda for traveling to Vietnam.

Danny Trejo wins America if it beats Avatar in opening week sales.

I honestly can't wait to see it specifically because of Danny Trejo.

I've been waiting for this movie since its "fake" Grindhouse trailer. It looks hilarious.

Yeah, the Grindhouse films were awesome...looking like Machete is following the same steps so far.
