Movies with a strong sense of history are worth watching, probably hard to find

It's a bit like "1900: New Century".
The 1970s was an era of intense post-war class struggle. Conservatism was dominant in the capitalist world. The Chilean coup was the Chilean version of the Spanish Civil War in the 1930s. Conservative nationalist soldiers overthrew the left-wing democratically elected government with the support of international imperialism. Establishing a fascist rule is essentially the petty bourgeoisie with backward class consciousness opposing labor and the abject poverty for the domestic and foreign big bourgeoisie.

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

    The most tearful is the scene where the priest said "God is not here" and left silently and the male protagonist finally walked out of the classroom with a blank test paper. Watching this kind of film makes people feel the feelings of the Chinese people who watched Lu Xun while studying medicine in Japan, watching the images of Chinese people being killed. Those noble esoteric great objective knowledges are useless, they are so powerless and indifferent in the face of the cruel and unresolvable inequalities of reality.
