"WHAT IS ETHNIC IS WHAT HOLLYWOOD HAS MADE ETHNIC"
(Jerry Goldsmith)


Sofia Milos/Celia Amonte/Mísia

Passionada, realizado por Dan Ireland, 2002

"Factual errors: Most of the Portuguese ethnic and cultural references - except the 'Fado' songs (by Mísia) - are flawed: - the title is not correct - in Portuguese it would be "Apaixonada". - none of the character's names are typically Portuguese (Celia, Amonte, Angelica, Gianni Martinez) - Celia prepares a Spanish Paella for Jason - at the street parade, the song is not the Portuguese folk-song the people are dancing on the background - the dance scene is under the spell of a Brazilian Soft-Samba. - "Granny" in Portuguese is "Vovó".
