DVD Reviews of Machuca
DVD Review: This moving film will educate you about a dark period in history supported by US foreign Policy
Summary: 5 Stars
First of all this was an excellent film, I would easily rank it as one of the best 10 that I have ever seen. The actors were superb, the film production excellent.
This film tells a heart breaking story through the eyes of two young friends. The story is true, it is about the US supported Military Coup against the democratically elected Government of Socialist Salvador Allende. The film shows how Business and the elite worked together to cause food shortages and misery for the public so that they could overthrow a Government that was supported by the people and the Church.
The film is important because we risk being part of this sort of injustice everyday in the world. Thousands of people were murdered or disappeared after this Coup and as usual the Western powers have not admitted the blood that is on their hands.
DVD Review: An illuminating, painful glimpse into chaotic, violent Chile of 1973
Summary: 5 Stars
Prepare yourself to be stunned and moved by this award-winning 2004 film.
"Only children and drunks don't lie," exclaims a young firebrand teenage girl articulating the controversial film's central theme.
The lives of three children, attracted despite class and educational backgrounds, come together and fall apart in this dark coming of age during a time of violent social conflict film. Children discover the lies, obsessions, hopes, and fears of adults in in Chile in 1973 - before and after the coup. They discover that friendship and good intentions are far too weak in the face of prejudice, tradition, hunger, and violence.
See the film, travel back to a time of political fanaticism, and watch the pleasures of youth become painful, mature understandings. Although more poignant than Missing, the film also seems less overtly political in its story. Yet this sometimes sweet film packs a very hard punch.
DVD Review: Machuca
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a story of 2 young Chilean boys who befriend one another during the turmoil of the Allende era. One boy is from a well to do family & enjoys a life of privilege. The other boy is from a poor family & is mistreated by society & the government.
This movie is well worth the money but be aware that unless you can get hold of a disk equipped with English subtitles, you will need some knowledge of Spanish to get the most from this film.
DVD Review: The Other 9/11
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is about the other 9/11--meaning 9/11/73 in Chile. There was a military coup that is little known in the US. The movie gives you the perspective of 2 boys growing up during that time. It is said that the director, Andres Wood, based the movie on his own experience growing up in Santiago. Great movie, great acting, great story. It will leave a print on your heart.DVD Review: Great movie about a difficult time in Chile's history
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this movie in when it was showing in Chile and had been waiting for it to be released in the U.S. ever since. An excellent film.
