a tragic story, very well done.,

This review is from: Rojo amanecer (VHS Tape)
Right from the titles, which sway ever so slightly to the sound of a ticking clock in the background, this film by Jorge Fons grabs your attention.It's about the October 2nd, 1968 massacre that took place in the Plaza de Tlatelolco, from the viewpoint of one family in the confines of their apartment. So real, you'll think you're watching a documentary at times and Maria Rojo is brilliant as the mother, heading a cast of marvelous actors. It's a riveting film, and fascinating cinematically, that it's able to hold your interest staying within these few rooms and a hallway. The great cinematography is by Xavier Robles and Guadalupe Ortega Vargas, and the soundtrack by Karen and Eduardo Roel also enhances the film. This isn't an easy one to watch, but it's worthwhile. 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful

Terrific Movie!!,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Rojo amanecer (VHS Tape)
October of 1968 at about 5PM students gathered at "La Plaza de las Tres Culturas" in Tlatelolco not far from downtown Mexico City to demonstrate against injustices from the Mexican government. My parents owned a condominium in Tlatelolco, Aguascalientes building where my family and I witnessed the most violent massacre in the history of that country. The movie portrays with a great deal of accuracy what took place in those buildings. Since the "granaderos" and members of of the Mexican armed forces had orders to kill students and teachers, I had distroyed my teachers' ID few weeks back when soldiers blew a hole through the main door of the Preparatory Number 1 school where I was teaching. Some scenes may be disturbing to some viewers because the movie depicts the reality of the massacre.The film is well acted and written. Maria Rojo has been the proud of Mexico for her acting abilities. She was the star in the movie "Danzon" which I also reecommend. The movie is only available in VHS. This movie must be in your library. Spanish with no English subtitles. 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful

Awareness no smiles,
By Lorenz Chan - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Rojo Amanecer (DVD)
Welcome to the apartment in one of the floors of the dangerous Tlatelolco's sky crappers in Mexico City. (The 1985 Mexico's earthquake hit this place very hard as well). As a visual and speechless guest, you will experience a dramatic historical tragedy that occurred to a typical/traditional Mexican family in a peaceful neighborhood that happened to be a witness of the student movement eager for expressions and ideas. In October 1968, in the midst of the Olympics, the world was observing a country that apparently was calm. The "burro" the "straw hat", and the "sheep-like following mentality" no longer was part of the young society. Some student leaders gathered in the plaza and made speeches that made the government nervous. The violent police were following orders. The orders: To shot and ask questions later. The excuse: Topics that a dictatorial government does not like to hear. Results: a lot of people dead.The brute mentality thought that all the evidence possible was destroyed. Unfortunately, the images of silent loose shoes and bloody clothes were very strong and graphic witnesses of this sad day for a country of music and fiesta that still today continue unfolding and producing horror. To top things off, the written reports and collecting stories from valiant writers like Elena Poniatowska, allowed the world to receive the information and facts about these genocide. "La noche de Tlateloco". (1971) The citizens of a free world in general need to know where we come from and decide where are we going. This film is about awakening. It is the story of what happened to once a dormant so-called free expression society. The criminal minds are still unpunished. The claim continues. Read and learn. Watch and participate. This is a film to create awareness no smiles. |
