During an interview with Jorge Donkey Van Rankin, Maria Rojo didn't hesitate to question the path Alejandro González Iñárritu Works because he asserted that he had treated his work team unfairly during filming.
The actress pointed out that she likes González Iñárritu's work, but she prefers not to talk about him and does not want to act for him since he is known for it in the union bad treatments that it has with its extras.
The protagonist of “Rojo Amanecer” complained that Alejandro, such a renowned and talented director, does not treat his actors with respect.

“If you're a genius and so intelligent (…), you shouldn't treat people badly, you should make everything you film hell.” “I'm not saying that, that's what those who filmed say.”
Although he didn't say he ever treated her badly, he recalled that a few years ago the director was sued by his extras, who accused him of allegedly exporting them for work.
Likewise, he mentioned that there were also complaints from members of Bardo; However, he did not want to go into details.

“Look at the extras, you know them, they never bother you. You can have them in the sun for 400 hours and they're heroic, right? The extras filed a lawsuit against him for appearing there on the small screen! “Stop treating her badly”
The conversation about González Iñárritu's behavior did not stop there, as Donkey Van Rankin confessed that the director was his great friend, but distanced himself from him Rejection an interview.
As Jorge remembers, he previously had a very close relationship with the director of Amores Perros as they worked together.

Back then Van Rankin supports in different ways, e.g Lend clothinggive him a ride in his car or even interview him so the public can see his films.
Because of this close relationship, he thought he would agree to an interview during the recording of “Revenant”; However, Alejandro's reaction completely changed their friendship as he rejected him.
“He was a great friend of mine, he worked at WFM, he was a unique character, crazy, disrespectful, with a damn imagination, a genius (…) for me the Negro is a bitch, but Something has disappeared thereBecause when I told him that I was shooting the Revenant movie in Canada… I passed him when I didn't have a car and wanted to go to America,” Donkey began his story.

“One day I was talking to him (…) I was doing Revenant in Canada, in the hellish cold he replied: 'What's wrong, damn donkey?', I hadn't spoken to him in a long time. “Let me interview you” and the chin**, do you know what he answered me? (…) 'Donkey, what should I tell you?' “I didn’t know I was talking to God.”
Jorge was outraged by González's reaction because when Amores Perros came out, he asked him to interview him to get attention, which he accepted because he supported him in his career as a director.
“He asked me for help when he was filming Amores Perros. I was the director of a radio station and I interviewed him because he asked me and I supported him. So, It's not worth it“, he explained.
Both Van Rankin and María Rojo compared him to other directors of the same level because, as they said, no one behaved the way he did towards his colleagues.
