Mountain and sand

I admit that I was a bit boring when I watched the movie, the pace was slow, the shots were realistic, and I kept flashing back and forth, but combined with the stories behind the scenes, I felt that the movie was very good.

The film is about the white horror under the coup d'etat. The army strictly controls the society. Individuals have no freedom of speech. They need to be very cautious and careful, and even have strict regulations on dressing. But the most terrifying thing is the assassination. Individuals have no right to speak before the state apparatus, and their disappearance for no reason affects those family members who love them. The last time I saw such a movie was in the German movie "Eavesdropping Storm". Obviously, this movie is more realistic, the plot is not very strong, and the rhythm is not ups and downs, but the introverted shots and rich performances make people feel particularly distressing.

When your country no longer has laughter, you can’t go out casually, you can’t wear the clothes you want, you can’t have free speech, you can face life danger in your city at any time, and it is likely to disappear silently and without law Safeguarding rights, everything happens at will, and it will feel terrible to think about it.

The disappearance of Charlie in the movie is a main thread, although there are also many scenes showing coups, military and police scenes, and massacre scenes. But the movie is more about the expectation of a father and wife for his son's husband, as well as the expression of family affection in a specific environment. In the process of searching in many ways, Jack Clement’s father played very well. In several emotional time and space, especially his acting skills burst. But these shots are also restrained and restrained. They didn't use music to set off the atmosphere. Instead, they used a realistic way to express the sadness of a father, just like what happened in life. Such shots will be more on the big screen. There is an impact, but the small screen feels unloading. In another scene, when the father knew that his son had been secretly executed and buried in the wall, the uncontrollable pain was instantly shown from Jack Clement’s face. The whole person suddenly fell into great grief, and the performance was very well done. .

In addition to expressing family affection in making this movie, Gallafus, political irony and thinking are the intention behind it. In front of the huge state apparatus, individuals are like grains of sand in the Ganges, too small. The state machine can wipe a person off the earth at will. When they saw the father and daughter-in-law enter the room full of corpses, they were shocked. The corpses are just piled up, and the lives of the past become lifeless corpses. There is no reason, or the reason is unreasonable. There is no fairness and justice, only clouds. From the beginning of the movie, we know that this movie will involve major political issues. If it is a coup that has occurred in the past, there is no need for the film crew to be involved in secrets. Explain that until now, this political issue may be that political conspiracy still appears in the United States and other countries like a ghost. At the end of the movie, the audience has already understood that Charlie’s death was not an act of the Chilean government alone. The main force behind it is the US government. The United States interfered in the internal affairs of other countries and assassinated American citizens. In the end, there was no rhetoric. The so-called human rights, the so-called legal system, the so-called public, the so-called justice, and the so-called world peace are all lies. Only interests are eternal. An absolute stain in American history.

For this kind of film, the director chose to use realistic shots as much as possible instead of music to set off the atmosphere, try to let the audience have their own thinking and judgment, let the general public feel the insignificance and helplessness of individuals in front of politics, and accuse the conspiracy. The motion shots of the movie are not so prominent, and the overall feel is a bit documentary.

    It's a pity, after all, you are not the President of the United States, that is to say, your son is not the son of the President of the United States, so there is nothing we can do...

    Putting aside the United States as a benchmark for democracy and freedom and the superiority of American citizens, the political metaphors in the film are the real history that has been staged in many countries. Even today in 2012, our country will issue sentences 73 It is only a matter of time before such a law and [The Great Disappearance] such a cruel history of PI* people repeat themselves. Maybe bad luck does not happen to you, and you never need to know or care at all. ★★★★

    Ed Horman: You know what I mean.

    Beth Horman: I know, I know. God bless our way of life!

    Ed Horman: Oh, a very good way of life it is, young lady, no matter how much people like you and Charles try to tear it down with your sloppy idealism. I can no longer abide the young people of our country who live off their parents and the fat of the land and then they find nothing better to do than whine and complain.
