"Americans aren't more violent, we're just better shots." Best line ever. The best method of gun control is holding the gun w/ both hands.

[Fritz Holznagel]

"Mmmmm... hamburguesas!"

[cinesimonj]

Yeah I took it personally. When the word "personally" means something entirely different to what the thinking world understand it to mean.

[anonymous19601]

Now, now, it's just a funny movie line. There's no need to take it personally.

[cinesimonj]

Funny how idiots lover that line and forget the rest.

Of course you're not at all, but whatever gets you through the day, kiddo.

[cinesimonj]

Or give a shit if you accidentally hit, say, an innocent child or family...

[TheMiamiRockStar]

I got distant relatives in Spain too and from some Americans (me included) viewpoint Spainiards (and other Europeans) tend to come a little...shall we say...fatalistic/pessimistic.

[StarWarsMoments]

That is the music, but the song is the english-language version called "Love Me Forever." I can't find this version of the song though, it's not on the soundtrack!

[SenorCajones]

This film depicts Spaniards as depressed? Where? That makes no sense.

I live in Barcelona. I think it's perhaps the most amazing city there is, because of the people. I don't think that the anti-Americanism is envy however. I'll tell you why. You wrote "the dialect", I'm assuming about Catalan. Catalan is NOT a dialect. Take a look at Wikipedia. If any of those Barcelonans whose first language is Catalan knew that you called Catalan a dialect, they certainly wouldn't be very patient with you ever again. That's like saying Basque is a dialect.

I saw this movie when it first came out and made up my mind to go see Barcelona myself. I've been there several times now and I think it's a wonderful city. Barcelonans are warm and very patient with foreigners (I can't speak a word of the dialect). I think Barcelona is by far much more eclectic and unique than Paris or London, which are beautiful cities in their own rights. As far as the Anti-Americanism, that permeates all of Europe. I think it's just envy.
