Efter at have besøgt Falklandsøerne, som Argentinerne kalder Malvinas udtalte den argentinske dokumentarfilmer Tamara Florin, at
"There is nothing Argentinian about the islands. The people eat fish and chips, they have dinner at 6pm, they’re British. The only thing that is remotely Argentinian is maybe the landscape that resembles barren Patagonia and the thousands of still active landmines that the Argentinian forces left behind."
mens den argentinske journalist Jorge Lanata anser sit eget lands politik overfor øerne for at være
"insane, erratic, senseless"
Det holder dog ikke den argentinske regering tilbage fra at kræve øerne af England, på trods af at øboerne absolut ikke ønsker at blive Argentinere.
