Please Woody,
If you want to mock someone, do it. Just don´t take it out on a city you´ve made a caricature of. Barcelona, poor soul, has more to it than Gaudi, Las Ramblas and cavernous homes with glorious gardens.
Don´t get me started on that very un-Catalan name of Juan Antonio which Mr Bardem plays with gusto. Bedroom eyes employed to such degree as to induce blind adoration for ´´one of Spain´s national treasures´´. Vicky, Cristina, Barcelona disappoints in more ways than one that I came out of the cinema thinking what a mockery Woody Allen has made of the Spanish, and Barcelona in particular.
Funny thing is, we all seem to have forgotten some Catalan displeasure over public footing of the partial bill for the film. What a response they got! At least it´ll do some good for tourism in this sunny part of Spain.

I watched Vicky Cristina Barcelona a few days ago. The sights and scenery are beautiful. Have you been to all those places?
