The Uruguayan Olympic bid film "a Twelve-Year Night" (a Twelve-Year Night) is a fact-based film telling the story of three political instigators being held in solitary confinement for a long time under a military dictatorship. The side of the film shows the story of that dispute. history:
The Tupamalos Revolutionary Movement ( MLN-T ) was seen as a radical threat to the newly established military rule, especially after it turned from non-violent protest to kidnapping and assassination, and was vigorously suppressed by government forces in 1972. The film focuses on the three leaders headed by persecution and destruction without mercy. They were imprisoned and treated inhumanely for the next ten years, and were secretly transferred from prison to prison by the army. (A total of 9 MLN-T members were dealt with) The main purpose was to make their whereabouts and living conditions unknown, so as to help suppress popular opposition. Of course, it is also aimed at destroying the health and fighting spirit of the prisoners, even reaching the point of madness.
The long night of more than 4,000 nights is not only a transition between regimes, but also the trio’s eager hope for historical reconstruction and unwavering. The film pays tribute to one of Uruguay's most successful political figures in the past fifty years, Pepe Mujica, who has made his way of life consistent and revolutionized thousands of political thoughts.
Director Brechner forgot to reveal an important detail: the political background of the characters. But even so, it does not affect the degree of the movie's excitement in the slightest. The many small details are memorable and worth seeing. Just thinking about the scene of "Nato" shooting the ball invisibly in the scene, I really realized that what the'big' football country wants to grow is not the financial resources, but the spirit and ideals. Of course, this is also the sadness of most family education today. Helpless (a bit too far away?)
