"Look at my clothes"!

At first I thought it was a film about a childhood story, so I felt abnormal when the film didn't see the sun in the middle of the film. Another translation of this film is "The Sun was Bright That Year". Movies about childhood, generally speaking, are difficult without sunlight, or a high level of light and color processing. Such as Paradise Cinema, Paradise Children, Father's Glory, etc. Sunshine means that the focus of a film is on childhood.
The lighting in this film is gloomy, and...

"that year. sunny"

"The Sun was Bright That Year" (Machuca), such a Chilean film tells the story of the conflict between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat in Chile in 1973 from the perspective of a child. The "Strawberry Face" Gonzalo in the film finally bid farewell to his childhood in an embarrassed and panicked way. The name of the film is that the sun was shining, but there are actually many dark shadows behind the bright sunshine. Let a pure but fragile friendship disappear, and let the child's young mind...

I'm exercising~~~

About the history of South America, I found out later that we didn’t teach it in middle school. It’s better to learn more from the movies. Recently, I watched a series of South American movies, starting from “Motorcycle Diary”, to this “Machu” Card", I've already hit the north and seen the south, and the knowledge is being combined vertically. I will find a chance to read a few books and then connect it horizontally. In theory, if I improve it a bit, it will be almost the same job. In the...

Machuca: a Story of Children Caught in Events beyond Their Understanding

Set against the political instability in Chile in 1973, the Chilean movie Machuca centers on a friendship between two boys from opposite sides of social spectrum. While the movie shocks the audience by its realistic depiction of historical events and details, it strikes us even more with its unique perspective of an eleven-year-old, who is not able to understand the whole social situation but nevertheless experiences the political turmoil in a childlike way. For a foreign viewer like me, the...

Machuca: The sun was shining and there was a storm in the sky...

Historical moments are fleeting, and many people have experienced or are experiencing moments that are destined to become history. Sometimes that moment will slowly fade away in his mind, until it is completely forgotten; some have no feeling for that moment at all; but for some, that moment will affect his life, or he is destined to become. Witness or narrator of history.
    Gonzalo is the latter. The history of Chile in the 1970s changed his life. His experiences and his memories have...

For a country, this is a period of turbulent regime change; for this child, the righteous priest, the innocent friendship, the scenes of riots, all these will affect his value judgments and choices. After watching too many so-called anti-left movies, this movie seems to have the effect of setting things right. It doesn't matter left or right, what matters is the elimination of violent...

Youth is only dazed under such cruelty. The director's political metaphors are so numerous and dense that they are not...
