‘Nacho Libre’ insults a culture and your intelligence

Tagged: , , ,

“Years ago, I’d sometimes catch on very late-night TV some of those old Mexican horror films in which a masked wrestler named Santo or Samson would battle Aztec mummies, werewolves, Dracula and other assorted vampires as well as mad doctors.

While these movies were not great — the fun was listening to the dubbed, and dumb, English dialogue — they had a certain raw charm to them.

Through these films, I learned about the Mexican passion for the lucha libre wrestlers, who wore masks to hide their identities.”
