The success of the Mexican filmmaker Alejandro González Iñárritu in Oscar did not sit well in the most conservative sectors of the United States, shaken by a ceremony considered very liberal and in which the rights of illegal immigrants were protagonists.
Iñárritu won statuettes for best picture, best director and best screenplay, while his compatriot Emmanuel Lubezki won the best picture award, in both cases the film “Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)”, which was the big winner of the night .
“It was a great night for Mexico, as always,” he said Monday in remarks to the channel “Fox” mogul Donald Trump, who did not hide frustration by recognitions obtained by Iñárritu team in gala evening of film.
“This guy kept up, up and up (on stage) What are you doing? You’re leaving with all the gold. (The film) is that good? I did not hear it, “Trump said indignantly.
American conservatives cheered by the huge success of” American Sniper “by Clint Eastwood, who won only a statuette, the best sound editing.
“The Oscar is a sad joke, much like our president. Many things are wrong! “Wrote Trump on Twitter, while in the same social network TV personality Sean Hannity described as” predictable “bad result” American Sniper “in a Hollywood” liberal. “
Along the same lines have been many criticisms of appeals made in speeches, as the winner of the best supporting actress award, Patricia Arquette (“Boyhood: From Childhood to Youth”) who claimed equal rights and wages for women and was extremely applauded by some, but accused of speaking without knowing by others.
Have Iñárritu dedicated his big award of the night to Mexicans on both sides of the border and asked the authorities respect and dignity for residents in the United States .
The film critic Christian Toto described as “insulting” the failure of “American Sniper” forward to success “Birdman” and “inappropriate” pronouncements, that had “applications for amnesty out of place” as the message of Iñárritu.
The opinion, however, was not shared by the director of the National Council La Raza (NCLR), Clarissa Martinez-De-Castro. For her, the gesture of the Mexican was “extraordinary”, both by the occasion, live before millions of viewers around the planet, as the content, as it recalls the origin of the United States.
For Alex Nogales , president of the Hispanic National Coalition for Media (NLMC), Iñárritu and his fellow directors Alfonso Cuarón and Guillermo del Toro offer a very positive image of Latin, away from stereotypes, “especially in the US where there are so many prejudices against Latin “.
Nogales said he believes the negative reactions to statements by Iñárritu increase by conservatives because many members of the Republican Party have racist positions and are contrary to Latino immigrants.
” Many feel that we are taking their jobs, “he said.
The director of NHMC downplayed review actor Sean Penn when he handed the Oscar for best film Iñárritu.
Penn asked “Who was it that gave a green card for this son of a …?,” a phrase that sounded like offense to many viewers reacted in social networks, though not for the Mexican, who explained that it was a kind of inside joke since the two are friends.
“It’s a bad joke. He (Penn) is not racist, it is not conservative, is an outspoken that has no limits. Those who have another agenda (political) will use this comment, “explained Noguales
