Yes, Mikel, but regarding "Viva Zapata" you should be more politically
correct. That is Native American cinema, more precisely Zapotec cinema.

You did see the film and did not notice that Marlon Brando was a Oaxaca
indian speaking Zapotec?

Well, then, perhaps someone drew a line in the script, and the poor
zapotecs ended in the wrong side of the line. The writers were not very
purist, probably.

Have you seen Montxo Armendariz's Navarrese films? Can anyone suspect
Basque was ever spoken in Navarre after seing those films?
My mother tongue is to those films like Zapotec to Viva Zapata.

Someone draw the line there, also. But, no, those brilliant Basque
directors and writers are the universalists cosmopolitan guys.

We, euskaldunak, are the purists, poor idiots.
