Yeah, not a lot of corridos mention how many young soldiers cry for their moms while they die in their own shit and piss. They don’t sing songs (that I know of) for the mothers whose daughters were raped or disappeared.

They groom children soldiers to kill or be killed and it becomes normalized in some families and internalized and it only ever ends in tears and bloodshed.

I rewound the VHS like 5 times because I thought this was hilarious at the time! I’m so disturbed by reading about Weinstein and the abuse of power that represents. But, no, it probably wasn’t supposed to be as funny as it is, not many chuckles after that but Claire Forlani and Brad Pitt made it a great movie.
