I've had a film expertise over the past few months and it really shocked me. It was early December, and I used to catch up on the end of the year marathon, catching up on the hugely famous award seasonal movie I missed. One of them is “I'm Still Here, Still” Walter Salles' acclaimed real life drama, founded in Brazil in 1970 as a dad Rubens Paiva ( Among Selton Mello's few families, a thriving and loving survival fell from the cliff. The country's naval dictatorship will cause inquiries from the police. His spouse, Fernanda Torres, was told it was a routine interrogation and he would once again be within a few hours. However, this won't happen. The time extends to a few days, then a few months, then a few months. He never heard it again.
I have been watching movies throughout my life, and movies like this. But, in this regard, I can actually say that I often ignore this backbone reaction because I look at “I’m still here despite this.” The film itself, especially the main hours, is very effective. But that's not that. I've seen a lot of efficient political movies. For me, something new – unsettling, a suppression legend like this and questioning whether it is possible that it will happen in the United States now. I think this seems to be a question, and I definitely don't need to ask myself earlier than I do.
There seems to be no astonishing oppression throughout the United States. When you watch a movie drama about racism, from “Kill a Mockingbird” to “Malcolm X” to “Fruitvale Station”, you see the reality of systemic injustice. But one thing I'm talking about is completely different: the ghost of dictatorship. In 249 years, this is by no means an overview of the United States. As we all struggle, around the second Trump era questions, it means how far it goes, how much regulatory rules are threatened and a lot of free way – query whether or not actually It might be here – Now it is more clearer than ever for me to educate us about it all.
If you are a movie lover, a movie fan, or whatever you want to say naming, you are bored with every genre of movies: the previous and new movies, Hollywood and Unbiased, the United States and the Global, comedy and romance, and Western and Western and music and dramas of black, war, motion and revenge. However, political dramas that find fascist capabilities occupy a particular place. Films like Bernardo Bertolucci's The Comporist reveal the connection between private pathology and political oppression. Documentaries such as “The Battle of Chile” reveal hidden fingers that are overly controlled by the government. After all, there are a thousand dramas that inform Nazi Germany from the inside. All of these films are slices of ominous expertise. They are all warnings.
In the 1970s, American cinemas bought very political—however, the conspiracy and corruption that new Hollywood movies usually involve, separated from Watergate and Vietnam, suggesting not fascist narratives (because it is certain that the countercultural voices can know That's it), not a spreading autocratic system, but a vibrant American political institution. After all, the relative half of this story is that the system can be appropriate. We have not eliminated corruption. Yet, the United States and the films that dramatize in its darkest times prove the true influence of our flawed democracy.
The end of democracy is what we noticed in Europe or in international locations similar to Argentina (such as “official story”, “I'm still in the 1980s”) or Mao's China. At some stage, I will admit that I always absorb these movies, like what I used to watch “them” happen. Individuals living in local totalitarianism can take root. I think one of the best movies of the time was Philip Kaufman's “The Light Easiness of Existence”, which was due to the drama of such passionate and strange people falling into political nightmare. I always watched the movie with a double feeling: the characters were the same for me…but, because they dealt with the 1968 Communist repression in Czechoslovakia, they also didn’t like me either. The result is where it happens. There.
After I noticed “I'm still here,” I believe: How sure is this true? How terrifying is it assuming that it might become here at the main time?
