The hypocrisy is rife in this film. I will just list the most offending moments I can remember.
Salma decides to play down her appearance by not wearing make up. She wants to appear like a down to earth homely spiritual healer...but keeps the hair dye as that would of course be a bridge too far! Homely but not old thank you very much.
If you don't like goats being injected into your neighborhood then as the kids say these days ''this is a ''YOU'' problem''.
And...how dare you not be able to pronounce the name of a remote village in Mexico! This should roll off your tongue like any of the multiple languages you speak.
Beatriz is form a small magical place full of people who have a spiritual connection to the earth and some magical powers. The evil Americans come in and destroy it so naturally you run away ...to America Then she feels out of place. It turns out it has a different culture and language. But how is this possible?
Does she have any homicidal thoughts towards the police and authorities in her home town that allowed her to be thrown out? Or are they only saved for the American?
Beatriz appears at the dinner party sans make up and attire...but expects to be welcomed and treated as an invited guest. The other guests who are dressed up and all know each other are supposed to not notice the elephant in the room as being different in any way shape or form?
Beatriz rudely interrupts the waiter to inject her life story. She is horrified to being treated as help, but treats the actual help like...actual help. She is the moral judge and executioner but has no problem with interruptions. Unless of course you are interrupting her. She feels that the murder of an animal is quote ''sick'' but the murder of a human is somewhat profound and necessary? And being the healer/moral superior, executioner, judge and jury she really must do it herself. She drinks, she smokes...which is of course natural and healthy because smoke comes from a plant...( but animals in the wild run away from smoke right? ) anyway on and on it goes...1 star.
