Talk:Machuca

Machuca Box Office, and Reception Outside of Chile
Fact: The film Machuca did not do well at the box office outside its home country. See IMBD.
 * This is not relevant information as no Chilean movie has ever done well abroad. Besides, the IMDb does not have box office information on Machuca. ☆ CieloEstrellado 04:05, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
 * The reader of the article has no idea whether Chilean movies do well abroad or not. Martincamino (talk) 03:02, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Fact: Critics outside of Chile, notably Kenneth Turran of the Los Angeles Times, praise its recreation of the Chile of 1973.
 * I will not dispute this. ☆ CieloEstrellado 04:05, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Fact: The average viewer who did not know about Chile when s/he saw the film (such as myself) did not understand the political context in which it was occuring, unlike, say, Missing, which painted a clearer picture of what was going on in Chile at the time.

These are all matters of undisputed fact which I have presented in the article. But they have been consistently eliminated by one of the users, because the user does not like what these facts represent.

I would not be surprised if this user eliminates this very comment. --MILH 13:00, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

IMDB is a poor source for anything; there are reliable sources easily found.

This makes no sense: "headed by the director of the school Father McEnroe ability". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.226.204.58 (talk) 16:02, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
 * And I cannot divine what the author intended -- any help? 96.226.204.58 (talk) 17:08, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

The article’s author (or authors) presents a quasi-Marxist interpretation of the film, whose POV is more subtle. Can someone with a less strident agenda amend it, or add some depth? People who read the article might be looking for more than an undergraduate tutorial.

Misconception
"The film is from the perspective of Gonzalo Infante, a privileged Chilean boy, during a time period in which the lower classes are politically mobilized, demanding more rights and forcing fundamental change" Gonzalo isn't "privileged", he's just from a wealthier family. The lower classes aren't demanding more rights, they already had the same rights. Some political movements wanted to have more control over the economy. --41.150.234.218 (talk) 22:57, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
