The movie was incredible and In the Times of the Butterfly doesn't even compare. I don't think there was one Dominican in that movie, which is insane since it is a movie about Dominicans. Anyway, I don't think you actually saw the movie and you are just hating. I am sorry Pedro but I think you have lost it.

In the Dominican Republic of that era, Trujillo was God. He was omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent. He not only single-handedly controlled all the resources of the island but he also lorded over the very souls of the people of the picturesque nation. His vast network of spies and informers kept the entire population in a constant state of fear. It was absolutely mandatory that every household have a plaque that stated “in this house, Trujillo is the boss.” Not coincidentally, Trujillo owned the company that manufactured the plaques. To put things into perspective: Santo Domingo, a city that was founded in 1496 and is the oldest continuously inhabited European settlement in the Americas, became Trujillo City. Such was his grip on power.
