520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc Based on Adolfo Bioy Casares 1969 prophetic novel, the film was made during the U.S. sponsored Dirty War which started in 1974 just before the eve of the 1976 military coup where a vicious military dictatorship was installed in power. The Dirty War, part of US Operation Condor, lasted from 1974 to 1983. It tortured and murdered over 300,000 people; mainly students, journalists, artists, trade unionists, and other potential political dissidents from neoliberals to socialists, and left-wing Peronism. Well directed and suspenseful, the film is a political metaphor of inaction, passivity, and modern cognitive dissonance and denial in today's population. A strong fascistic youth group is killing senior citizens which it dubs "pigs" or useless eaters. One group of seniors who try to deny their age called "the boys" led by Don Isidro, a middle-age man, are targeted by this group. Excellent acting; especially by Jose Slavin, Marta González, and Leonardo Rey. A must see underrated forgotten classic. From IMBd.
Expansion of summary note Basada en la novela profetica de 1969 de Adolfo Bioy Casares, el film fue hecho durante la Guerra Sucia auspiciada por U.S. la que comenzó en 1974 justo antes de la víspera del golpe militar de 1976 donde una dictadura militar maliciosa fue instalada en el poder. Torturó y asesinó a más de 300,000 personas, muchos estudiantes, periodistas, artistas, sindicalistas y otros potenciales disidentes politicos desde el neoliberalismo al socialismo y el Peronismo izquierdista. Muy bien dirigida y con mucho suspenso, el film es una metafora politica de la inacción, la pasividad y la disonancia cognitiva moderna frente a la negación de la población actual. Un tenaz grupo de jóvenes fascistas está matando a ciudadanos de la tercera edad a quienes apodaban "cerdos" o comensales infructuosos. Un grupo de ciudadanos de edad media llamado "los chicos" quienes niegan su verdadera edad y que son guiados por Don Isidro, son blanco blanco de este grupo. Excelente actuación; especialmente de José Slavin, Marta González y Leandro Rey. Un clásico subestimado y olvidado que debe ver. IMBd translation.
