  • The methaphore underneath

    I like sci fi movies when they are a metaphor of something else. Or maybe they do not pretend to be a metaphor and it is just me who can't avoid to see it that way.

    And I like movies when they show who the director is.

    When I first start watching the movie, I thought it was a Russian film. And that the worlds were a metaphor from the cold war.

    But it didn't go deep into this analogy. But, it did develop the topic that the protagonist was from an inferior world trying to have the privilege to enjoy the superior world. The inferior world is poor. The superior world is rich, developed, and dominates the inferior world, even when this superior/inferior distinction is arbitrary.

    And I loved the scenes in the cafe Dos Mundos, with couples dancing a tango "el último café". Yes. The director, Solanas, is argentinean, from the land of tango. And yes, he has this vision of inferior versus superior world. I live in a country from the inferior world. And I know, just like the protagonist, that this is just an arbitrary distinction.

    Solanas is like the protagonist. He comes from the inferior world, but now lives with the privileges from the superior world.

    This movie made me think about my situation. Working in Latin America for a Multinational company, doing the work just to see how the "superior" world takes the benefits.

    Good sci-fi movie for us, the inhabitants from the inferior world...
