Con el film sonoro (…) cobra la prédica imperialista una violencia inusitada (…) Desde la frontera Norte de México hasta Cabo de Hornos se multiplica día a día, en millares de salas, un espectáculo anti-nacional, que impregna el espíritu de un continente, imponiéndole el deslumbramiento de la metrópoli extraña y la obligación de aprender su idioma (317). Jose Gimenez Borja, periodico Mercurio Peruano 1930
With sound film (…) the imperialist message takes an unsual intensity (…) From the northern border of Mexico to Cape Horn,in thousands of movie theaters, an anti-national spectacle that impregnates a continent’s spirit, multiples dayly, imposing over it the glare of a strange metropoli and the burden to learn their language (317). Jose Gimenez Borja, newspaper Mercurio Peruano 1930.
Adiós 2011.

“The siren began to scream and at first he thought he was making the noise himself. He felt his lips with his hands. They were clamped tight. He knew then it was the siren. For some reason this made him laugh and he began to imitate the siren as loud as he could.” - The Day of the Locust, Nathaniel West
