In the end, the Fuku caught up to the Admiral and he died insane. By the time the Trujillo. April 12, 2012 at 6:48 PM. In My Good Books.

Friday, January 27, 2012. Identity in "A Day without a Mexican". A Day without a Mexican, directed by Sergio Arau. Was defiantly an interesting movie. While being a unique and sometimes humorous; the film looked at the very important issue of how the majority reacts to the minority, in this case the Latinos.
