Quotes by Frédéric Martel‏ (?)

“En cuanto al cine, sus blockbuster tiene éxito en todo el mundo, porque lo que producen no son tanto películas estadounidenses como productos universales y globales. Los franceses hacen películas para los franceses, los indios para los indios, los árabes para los árabes; sólo los estadounidenses hacen películas para todo el mundo. Además, son los únicos que hoy día hacen películas para la exportación, antes incluso de pensar en su mercado interior.
Así pues, la prioridad de los estudios y de las majors no consiste sólo en imponer su cine o su música y en defender un imperialismo cultural. Lo que quieren es multiplicar y ampliar sus mercados.”

“It is a relic of colonialism. In many commonwealth countries, former colonies, and English protectorates, state homophobia was left over from the British Empire: Section 377 was a part of the penal code that England imposed on its colonies in 1860.
It was a sort of umbrella crime covering everything, especially homosexuality and bestiality; it took into account neither the consent nor the age of the partners, which made it impossible to legitimately distinguish homosexuality, rape, and pedophilia. The British crudely implemented this provision first in India, where the Indian Penal Code would become the colonial matrix, and then, based on Indian law, throughout the British Empire in Asia, Australia, and Africa as the colonizers advanced. Today one can still find that famous Section 377 almost intact in ten Asian countries and fifteen Anglophone African countries.”
