Coming to a Theater Near You (Sigh): ‘Turistas’

Sounds like he needs to get out more.

Stupid people. Brazil is not Peru. The cultures are very differents. Show a country with the size and the economy of Brazil with a little country like Peru(listen, nothing against Peru)it’s so a sort of ignorance. I don’t know what happen to this people. Many horrible things happen in the U.S. But, paint Brazil like this stupid man like John Stocjkwell, it’s a stupid thing. He only generalise a big country like a Brazil with a fact that happened with him in Peru. This is the most sort of ignorance that i see in the world of cine. So, can i generalise U.S. and start to think that all the uniteds are terrorists like in Irak??????

It makes one week and a group of English tourists had been assaulted inside of the bus the way of the Hotel, in the city of Rio De Janeiro. Good, what it happened then? The Rio security had strengthened the policing in the place of the assault and the proper City Hall of Rio, indemnified the tourists assaulted, giving optimum possible treatment during the period where they would be in the city. A well different history of this director-tourist who likes to speak badly of other countries. Perhaps, we can say that, about this film, Is it worried about the social problems in the South America, felt envy to if coming across with the magnificent beauties of the country or that is it distills an excess of North American implicit nationalism? I believe that it is the two last hypotheses!

i have been a visitor to rio for many years and i can say that i have been robbed and bag snatched but for the most part its a nice city and most of the people are friendly.

just like any other city in the usa..  one must be careful but i still go and i just watch myself more…
