[edit] Machuca Box Office, and Reception Outside of Chile

Fact: The film Machuca did not do well at the box office outside its home country. See IMBD.

This is not relevant information as no Chilean movie has ever done well abroad. Besides, the IMDb does not have box office information on Machuca. ☆ CieloEstrellado 04:05, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Fact: Critics outside of Chile, notably Kenneth Turran of the Los Angeles Times, praise its recreation of the Chile of 1973.

I will not dispute this. ☆ CieloEstrellado 04:05, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Fact: The average viewer who did not know about Chile when s/he saw the film (such as myself) did not understand the political context in which it was occuring, unlike, say, Missing, which painted a clearer picture of what was going on in Chile at the time.

This is your own opinion. Please avoid original research. ☆ CieloEstrellado 04:05, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

These are all matters of undisputed fact which I have presented in the article. But they have been consistently eliminated by one of the users, because the user does not like what these facts represent.

I would not be surprised if this user eliminates this very comment. --MILH 13:00, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
