The film begins, the camera moves slowly, and the sandy yellow dryness and heat seem to be felt on this end of the screen. I thought the protagonist was a big hero who came to save the water-starved Bolivian people, but he was a sentimental director trying to make a film about Columbus going to America. The rhythm is still dull at this point, even though Daniel has already made a big fuss as a leader in the audition team.
But then I found that in "Rain Crisis", the design of this "play within a play" is actually very clever, and the bridges it chooses can make people exclaim and resonate more.
Daniel's ubiquitous and fearless leader breath is similar to that of Monkey King's havoc in the Heavenly Palace. And so, in that Spanish film of oppression and exploitation of American Indians, he landed the role of Hatuey, the chief who was burned alive for rebelling against the Spaniards.
And then there's Daniel speaking with the megaphone:
They sell our rivers against our will. They sell our wells, ourlakes, and even the rain that falls on our heads!
By laws, friends, it's incredible! They don't allow use to collect the water that falls from the rain by law!
And who takes even the rain? A company whose owners are in London and California.
Friends, what are they going to steal next? The vapor from our breath? The sweat from our brow? All they'll get from me is piss!
I was shocked when I saw this part.
I remembered Daniel's embarrassed smile when he was asked what made u do this film and others shouted "He just wants the money". His silence and outbursts are probably the most shocking scenes in the movie.
The head of the Bolivian government said that these people "are illiterate" and that "we back down an inch and they can bring us back to the Stone Age." But it is Daniel, who is described as "illiterate" and "barbarian", who knows more than those who live in the so-called civilization - "there is something else more important than your movie", "water is life" and gratitude . Their mindset is simple - take what is mine, give what I have. Yet from Columbus to the present, the innocent have been the object of oppression.
As the protagonist of this theme, Daniel's life is taken for granted. But not every resistance will be successful. You saved your life this time, but what happens next time is unknown. Thousands of years of inequality and exploitation, how can it stop its filthy big wheel just because some people bleed and some die?
I am the voice of Christ in the desert of the island, and you are in mortal sin!
