Why the Enthusiasm For Piracy?
Why, apart from THE MISSION, all movies about colonial Latin America are about those most disreputable of characters, pirates?

The Mexican writer and statesman Jose Vasconcelos said that being in Spain felt almost like being in Mexico because the colonial ambiance of Mexican cities and towns was an exact replica of Renaissance and Baroque Spain.
