The war is over (Mientras dure la guerra, 2019)

1. I know Unamuno because of the tragic consciousness of life in his book (del sentimiento trágico de la vida, 1912), and the scene mentioned and analyzed in Fromm’s book on "Long live the death". A stand-up speech surrounded by the slogans of the triple psychological failure syndrome of worship, sadism, and necrophilia—just ask, how many people in the world can speak the truth vividly, and bring them together under the threat of death from the barrel of a gun....

Back to real life

After watching the movie, I think it is necessary to have a look and feel and sort out my emotions. In the process of watching the movie, I have two main feelings. One is the powerless struggle of the protagonist, which is also the movie, which is told most of the time. As a posture, as a person with a high reputation in the Spanish literary world, at the crucial moment when he can truly determine the future of the country, he appears very weak. This sense of powerlessness and fragility...

The war never ends

"War Is Not Over" is a Spanish war movie in 2019, which tells the relationship between the Spanish writer Unamuno and the coup army, especially the Franco faction, during the Spanish Civil War. In 1936, many members of the Spanish Army, especially Franco's North African Army, could not bear the leftist government's continuous redistribution of wealth, de-church and secularization policies, and launched a military coup against the Spanish Republican...

The war is over: the death knell tolls for us

The war is over: the death knell tolls for us

From a personal point of view, I prefer to call this film a "telling about war" film rather than a war film. The director cleverly used the perspective of the writer Miguel to present us the stories and scenes of the Spanish Civil War in the 20th century. Fortunately, he has such a good narrative that, as a person with little knowledge of Spanish history, he still feels very smooth when watching movies.

The whole film revolves...

I watch "The War Is Not Over"

Tonight, I watched the 2019 Spanish movie "War Is Not Over". It was nominated for Best Picture at the 43rd Spanish Goya Awards.

Everyone has a purpose in watching a movie. For this film, I hope to get a history of the Spanish Civil War. It did. The director unfolded two clues at the same time. One is about the sway and pain of the writer Unamuno in the civil war, and the other is the process by which General Franco emerged from the chaos of warlords.

Unamuno was one...

It's like the first episode of a fifteen-episode TV series that begins and ends. Of course, keep that in mind, there's a line Franco said right: what do you think will happen on that side? There is no better side in this fight where half Spain kills the other...

I have always been obsessed with Alessandro Amamba, a Spanish director, and I am also very interested in Franco and the history of the Spanish Civil War. After watching it, I felt that the film was relatively flat, the rhythm was stable, but it lacked...

Bai Zuo’s disguise as Li Kezhong is still very obvious. Adding one star to the film’s portrayal of Franco, Milan Astray and La Legion, although it is intended to highlight his military’s arbitrariness and the "clouds of conscience" such as Ulamuno. "The difference in mud", but after all, Ira hasn't been portrayed as a harlequin like the similar works of Banya decades ago. When the roar of "Una Grande y Libre" resounded through the wilderness of Castilla, tears would come...
