      One person, one vote, say no to poisonous vegetables!

      Adaptation of real events, real historical records. In 1988, after 16 years of military dictatorship (two eight-year terms), Pinochet was forced to agree to a referendum under pressure from the international community. Under the repressive rule of poisonous vegetables for many years, the opposition has been subjected to bloody and violent suppression for a long time, with deaths, catches, and escapes. Although the general public is dissatisfied with the status quo, they have no alternative....

      The tone of the film is ironic.

      The keynote of the film is ironic. The point is not that the "democracy" brought about by the referendum changed everything, and it is not that the "commercial advertising" changed the result of the referendum. In the referendum, the bosses who had the opposite position to the male lead all said the same lines in a reconciled state: "This film fits the atmosphere of the times, and Chile is also ready to accept the times." Therefore, the focus is on the unaltered "temporary...

      "NO" (2012)

      In 1988, Chile ended the dictatorship of the military strongman through a referendum. There are many connections between this story and the current political issues in Taiwan. Of course, time and space are different and the situation is different, but look at this 20 It is also quite interesting how countries half a circle away from the earth faced the opportunity of political change many years ago, and how modern perspectives positioned this historical moment.

      We must have the courage to say no

      Fate of the nation, everyone is responsible.

      This movie is about Chile. The first Chilean movie I have ever seen, it is hard to imagine that this long and narrow country in Latin America also has such a vigorous history. The film creates the dark yellow tones in revolutionary films, a bit like the lens of a documentary and expresses it to the audience. This is history and it is real.

      This is also the reason why I love historical and political themes of World War II style...

      Bread alone is not enough, freedom to say no to happiness

      The Chilean film "NO" was selected as one of the top five best foreign language films at this year's Oscars. Although it failed to win the title, the film still left a very deep impression on the audience.

      This is a film about politics, focusing on an important page in Chile's history, namely, the fall of the Chilean dictator Pinochet government. In 1988, according to his promise, Pinochet held a referendum, but unexpectedly failed. He ruled Chile's dictatorship for 17 years, and has...

    Evaluation action

    "No" is not a huge production dedicated to national narratives. In the two hours of half documentary and half comedy, Gael García Bernal used him to be compatible with secular and sublime performances, providing us with a more realistic and skin-conscious way of imagining history. In the film, Gael García Bernal will not show the exhaustion of Jiang Lang in front of the shaking camera from time to time; or in the film-style set of the...

    Movie quotes

    • René Saavedra: [to the NO campaign representatives] I'd like to know if anyone thinks this campaign will help us win the plebiscite.

    • José Tomás Urrutia: If you think I'm going to stand there in front of all the people of the Coalition's parties to tell them that our campaign is going to be based on jokes, that our campaign is going to be based on happiness, you're out of your mind. To me, that seems absolutely childish and denotes a lack of respect. We have to consider the pain of many people, the pain of the entire story, the neglect... . Where is that? How am I going to tell them that "happiness" is our concept?

      René Saavedra: Why not?

    • René Saavedra: [to his boss Lucho Guzman] Do you know how people will remember this campaign? We, the employees, made the NO campaign. And you, the bosses, made the YES.
