GRADUALLY BUILDING TRAGEDY


Chilean coup d’etat that lead to military hunta hasn’t been a frequent subject in the movies until ”Machuca” tackled it through the story of two boys from the different sides of social pyramid joined together in the classroom of a liberal Catholic elementary school.

Boys grow to be friends only to realize that in mentally contained surroundings differences can be almost impossible to overcome. Tragic outcome sinisterly lurks throughout the entire second part of the movie, removing the ”family” prefix from this drama of the entire nation.

”Machuca” is one good true life dramatic depiction of the irreversible changes of 20th century Chilean society.
