Fear is mongered because of” Machete”

Well what is “Machete”? Literally it is a weapon, sort of like a knife. But the Machete is I am talking about is a movie. Yes, the name of the movie is “Machete” is directed by Robert Rodriquez and is coming out in September 3. The movie is claimed by many to be a B-grade film with A-list star or it is an A-grade film. It`s cast consists of Danny Trego, Jessica Alba, Robert De Niro, Michelle Rodriquez, Lindsay Lohan, Cheech Marin, Jeff Fahey, Don Johnson and Steven Seagal. Quite a cast isn`t it, just like the movie” The expendables”.

But was it I wanted to talk about the movie? Well let`s put it this way there are some people like “Alex Jones” are saying that the movie will make Latinos and Mexicans to start killing people in Arizona. As most of you might know about Arizona`s new set of laws regarding illegal aliens created quite a stir in the region. The movie`s trailer which you can find in YouTube seems to hint about Arizona`s new laws.

That`s about it, the movie trailer is believed by conspiracy theorist to stir an ethnic across America. When I first saw and heard about this I literally laughed. You do not really need a movie to start such events. A movie is just a movie unless it is classified as a documentary. I can understand that there are simple minded people who will take it seriously but the point is simple we should not bloat it up and make it look like a serious issue.

The thing is even before movies were made, there were bloodshed and genocide. They did not need a movie for that to happen. It is the ideology that is being passed on by people that have no social responsibility that cause a many unnecessary problems in the world today. The movie hasn`t even been released yet and yet there are a ton of speculations. What happened to the saying “Don`t judge a book by its cover”. Of course for a movie it is “Don’t judge a movie by its trailer”. The movie only hinted Arizona only to get attention but nevertheless the mockery and the theories have begun.

Do you think it is viable for such speculations to start something chaotic?
