    Didn't expect it to be true. Uruguayan President...

    Forget it, I wrote a long commentary, always reminding me that it could not be published, and I simply deleted it. The problem of being unable to squat down in the toilet highlighted the wrong consciousness of being a leading cadre of not taking responsibility and doing...

    One of the best biographical films I've ever seen, the kind that I want to rewatch a few more times. The story is just the right amount of complexity, and even if you don't know much about that history, it's easy to be brought into context. When Jose's mother told him to "live on", she almost burst into tears. Survival is the greatest victory. Sunshine, grass, blue sky and white clouds, the city at night, Christmas fireworks, and scenes of emotional memories. What a beautiful life, live...

    After 12 years of isolation and captivity, as well as countless visible and invisible multiple tortures and tests, he was finally able to say to this prophecy on the wall: No! Those who can come out safely and continue to live a decent life are not ordinary people. Real things must be combined with the current actual background to rationally analyze which context fits what kind of life? You don't give up hope, hope won't give up on...

    I think they are pitiful but not pitiful, after all, the final outcome of this country is much better than many countries...

    The heavy and depressive atmosphere lingered, and the last three people met on the playground and the scene of playing air football was...

    The three people showed the general situation of spending more than 11 years in prison to the fullest! It's that Uruguay doesn't understand the system anymore. People are arrested during dictatorship, and people are released when it is...

    I am envious of such a small country with self-purification and self-correction capabilities. The director's brushstrokes are very delicate, gentle and condemning. The BGM of the cover of "The Sound of Silence" sounded at 96 minutes was too scratching, I didn't want to cry but I couldn't help...

    This film has a big appetite, but the director and screenwriter can’t control it at all, especially the style of photography, which doesn’t match the...

    For such a heavy subject, in fact, the shooting is not full of bitterness from beginning to end, but interspersed with plots that make people laugh or feel warm, which is quite interesting. In the end, it was expected to be a large-scale sensationalism, but still couldn't help crying with the surrounding audience. How tough a human life needs to be to survive the dozens of years, thousands of days and nights that can only rely on knocking on the wall to communicate. After the Q&A session, a...

A Twelve-Year Night quotes

  • Mauricio Rosencof: Please, Barriola, let's solve this. I can't listen to you anymore.

    Soldato Barriola: Stop calling me by my name! What do you want the paper and pen for?

    Mauricio Rosencof: For you to write her a letter.

    Soldato Barriola: What for?

    Mauricio Rosencof: Because you said she was hot, I thought you liked her.

  • Jefe Militar: The world is full of idealists. Hell is full of good intentions. This is your hell.

    Eleuterio Fernández Huidobro: I take responsibility for my mistakes and the consequences.

    Jefe Militar: No, you take responsibility for neither. We forced you to take responsibility. Your defeat forces you to.

    Eleuterio Fernández Huidobro: I did what I did because I believed in what I was doing. I'm responsible and I accept my punishment. But not you or anyone else will take me for defeated.

    Jefe Militar: So you're not defeated? It's not the years that passed, but think about the years that awaits you. You'll never get out of here.

    Eleuterio Fernández Huidobro: I might die here, but when that happens, I know the weight of my burden. But you, do you know how much yours weighs?
