| | Poorly orchestrated | Nachitzin 10/28/2009 | | Neither the Actors from Latin America who were not themelves Latinos, The Director or James Edward Olmos, had a clue what happens at a Catholic Graveside. After the filming an anonymous voice is heard saying a "Hail Mary" instead of the dialogue presented to the real Roman Catholic Priest "Rev. L. Ignacio Gameros, M.Div." playing the part. Too many instances of this kind of sloppy filming when it comes to Catholic Rite and Ritual have been and are witnessed on a regular basis. |
