Kind of like a fictional Latin American version of the '98 event documentary

Although it is fictional, it is very real.

1. The rioting scene of the dark-skinned poor is very real, that is, beating, smashing and looting. There is no lofty purpose and justice drive to overthrow oppression and achieve liberation, which are all forced by later generations for some political purposes. This has been the case in all dynasties. It is better to eat at home and wait to die if you don’t beat, smash, and loot.

2. The rich and the poor are natural opposites. The social wealth pie is so big. The more you cut, the less others will inevitably be. Even if there are a few people in the two groups who can understand each other, it will not change the overall environment. Usually, everyone can be at peace with each other and greet each other politely. Once the poor people have the opportunity, they will definitely exert the greatest malice on the rich people.

3. Latin American characteristics, the military power is not limited. After the independence of the Proto-Spanish region, they were basically caught in an endless cycle with no end in sight: corruption of the elected government -> people protesting and rioting -> the military taking over the dictatorship of the military government -> being overthrown by the elected government -> the elected government corrupting -> the people protesting Riot -> Military takes over junta dictatorship. . . In this infinite loop, the power of the military is increasing, not only to please the rich on the surface, but also to instigate the poor in secret, and reap the benefits.

4. In the midst of chaos, there is no distinction between good and evil, and don't trust anyone easily. No matter rich or poor, too naive people will not live long.

5. The ending of the film is the biggest highlight. The wealthy female bride thought she was saved and wiped the number on her forehead. In the end, she was shot to death at the nanny's house, while the nanny's family who helped save her was shot by a gunman. , and the nanny was hanged as a kidnapper.

At the end of the national anthem, the generals and politicians watched the executions and looked forward to a better future.

I don’t know if such a riot will happen in Mexico, but it’s not unfamiliar at all in one of the largest island countries in Southeast Asia. It can be said that there is more than that. After reading a circle of film reviews, I didn’t dare to mention the tragedy of that year. It can be seen that How secretive it is.

In May 1998, the country's military instigated the impoverished aborigines to riot, causing the aborigines to take out their anger on innocent Chinese businessmen, rape and loot countless deaths and injuries. Later, the American imperial media exposed the atrocities, which attracted pressure from the international community, and then the country The politicians and the military just pretended to send troops to "pacify the chaos", and at the same time took the opportunity to extort huge amounts of "protection money" from the Chinese businessmen.

If this film were to change the skin color and national flag, it would be a genuine documentary.

    【D】It is indeed a typical CJB movie wow! There is basically nothing that can evoke your desire to think. If you catch elements such as "class", "regime", and "violence", you will try to stuff them into the film. There is no criticism or allegory. It is purely to show the director's personal sensuality "Exploitation Movies". And more importantly, does this film really have any lens language worth watching? It's ugly to say that in such a barren image, it can only be used to support the scene with a strange-scale picture. It's absurd, with an empty interior, and yet pretending to be a sharp allegory of the class of the times. To tell the truth, if this film were a little more contrived, its disgusting degree would not be less than "Tang Detective 3".

    To a certain extent, the director's audio-visual skills are not bad for "promiscuous films" or "anger-releasing films", but the whole book is too thin and rough, and the comparison concept comes first. There is no need to compare "Parasite", even "Joker", even the characters are too lazy to enrich, it is full of inflammatory plots and empty backgrounds, and the final reversal is also abrupt for no reason. 88 The length of the minute only provides a kind of "curiousness", and I don't think there will be a degree of observation of reality.
