The Cortes scene was phenomenal.

The thread linking the absolutely terrifying Narco interview > the "missing" on the streets of Mexico City > the colonial genocide of indigenous people > Cortes' conquest of Mexico by divide and conquer? Heavy stuff, man.

EDIT: the movie gets a lot of flak for being self-indulgent and overly autobiographical, but this here is exactly why I think the movie also has valuable commentary on Mexico and the US. It shouldn't be taken as pure navel gazing by Iñarritu
