yeah a lot. I remember I went to see this movie with an Irish friend and he come out so exited and taking about Decaprio's character. When I point out that Mexicans where in the same situation and that history was repeating he told me it was different. For three years he could not explain to me how it was different.

Yeah its like the Irish all over again. Except it would be much worse if a civil war was going on.
