Rajoy's movie taste.

Today PP opened a personal website for their candidate to the Presidency. I decided to have a look at it and among several things one can do is to look at Rajoy's all time favourite movies, the personal touch see.

And I was horrified! These are his three favourite movies:

Tesis (Thesis): a gore movie about torture. The movie plot is about a media student in Madrid who is writing her thesis on how far violence should be displayed on TV. She embarks herself in a journey throughout the movie watching gore videos about amputations and other forms of torture. Very pleasant.

El Abuelo (The grandfather): a movie about a grandfather who comes back from the US to figure out, after his son's death, which one of his two granddaughters is not really so. Familiar isn't it, an old man on a personal moralistic crusade to save the honour of his family, very Rajoy wouldn't you say? just change family for country and you get the picture.

Back to the future: a classic Hollywood movie. I personally quite like it and many people do as well. But would it be among your all time favourites? I don't think so. Maybe someone told him to put it up after the two previous titles. PP strategists don't want voters to think Rajoy is some kind of old psychopath. Now it seems his an old psycopath with bad movie taste.
