Theres no confusion about who the villain is in Machete its you.
More specifically, its you and the other 69% or so of American citizens who agree that we should have a say in who does and doesnt come into our country by enforcing immigration laws. Theres been a lot written about the race war angle of Machete.
But its hard to see this script as anything but a sick MEChA-approved fantasy in which every Anglo man is a slobbering borderline savage who tortures Mexicans when not slaughtering them outright, and every Anglo woman a nymphomaniac yearning to strip down and have a crack at our hero Machetes macho Mexican manhood.
Perhaps Rodriguez isnt making an explicit plea for racial warfare, but Rodriguezs crude racial stereotypes make Hitlers Der Stürmer propaganda look like subtle, sophisticated and affectionate commentary on Jewish culture.
The script does not bat an eye as Machete butchers nearly every Anglo, innocent or guilty, who is unfortunate enough to cross his path. In the end, there is no doubt that Rodriguez is making the most overtly, outrageously and unrepentantly racist film in modern Hollywood history.
Its just too bad this movie combines the racial insights of a 1942 Robert Byrd with the collective moral sense of Enrons Board of Directors.

Working as an illegal day laborer, an American business man pays him to kill a senator because the senator wants to ship the illegals home and all American businesses in this fantasy world run solely on illegal labor. Machete again gets sold out and left for dead by his compadres, which seems to be a theme, and promptly goes on a killing spree against pretty much everyone.

NOTE Robert Rodriguez incendiary race film Machete was made with help from tax incentives and location access from the Texas Film Commission, a division of Gov Rick Perrys Office. A spokesperson confirmed that Rodriguez has indeed applied for govt funding (and has most assuredly signed off on the money in order to suckup illgal votes).
FILM TITLE: "SCREWED BY MEXICO"
SUBTITLE: All of the "shakedowns, hate and abuses" in Mexican law enforcement.
The Hollywood paradigm: sex, lies, borders and videotape
ABSTRACT----Lots of raw hot latino sex here----The film opens with Maria Elena Gonzalez showing how female migrants are forced to strip by abusive Mexican police officers, supposedly to search them, but the purpose is to sexually abuse them.
PANORAMA SHOT Central American migrants enter Mexico.
VOICEOVER: Others said they had seen migrants beaten to death by Mexican police, their bodies left near the railway tracks to make it look as if they had fallen from a train. "If you're carrying any money, the Mexican police take it from you," says Carlos Lopez. "Federal, state, local Mexican police--all of them shake you down. If you're on a bus, the Mexican police pull you off and search your pockets, and if you have any money, the Mexican police keep it all and say, 'get out of here.'
Jose Ramos, 18, peers into the camera, saying: extortion by Mexican border police occurs at every stop on their migratory route. We migrants are left penniless and begging for food.
ACTION SHOTS: Mexican police shake down motorists on bogus traffic stops. The Mexican police demand money on the spot, or your car gets impounded.
BACKGROUND MUSIC: La Cucuracha
