Allende en su laberinto

This movie premiered on last thursday, and i went to watch it today at Cinemark Alto Las Condes. This movie is about the last 7 hours of the former president of Chile Salvador Allende and shows us how Salvador and his collaborators experienced the coup d'etat inside "La Moneda" (Chilean Government Palace) and how they tried to resist the bombing done by the Air Force ordered by the Junta Militar.

I have to say that Daniel Muñoz did a very good job acting as Salvador Allende and also Aline Kuppenheim did a great acting too, but i was really disappointed when i saw the supporting actors and actress, when they were saying the lines they didn't sound real at all.

Miguel Littin has good directing skills, i'm not sure if he wanted to, but this movie is a little bit similar to Der Untergang (downfall), which shows Hitler's last hours inside the Bunker before the allies bombed Berlin.

It's great that this movie finally could be filmed in La Moneda, that made it a little bit more realistic, the problem is that the visual effects aren't good at all, the bombings looks very fake, the fire and the smoke too, and the camera movement is annoying sometimes.

I gave this movie 6 stars out of 10. If you are chilean or you are interested in Chilean history, you should definitely watch it, but don't expect a very good movie.

The movie Allende en su Laberinto is a great movie. The film was about Salvador Allende's last hours of being president. It showed how the military did not like Allende and how they overthrew the government. It also showed how and why the United States got involved in the war. This movie was created for people who like history and for the people who is interested in the history of Chili. Miguel Littin did a good job with writing and directing. I liked the part of the movie where the President gave his last speech. He did a good job capturing everyone feelings at the time. Daniel Munoz did a good job acting as president. They captured was it was like being president.

Awful acting from Daniel Muñoz. He depicts Allende as a dilettante without any grasp of reality, as a womanizer and as a idiot. The directing of Muñoz is also to blame. All i all Allende is depicted like an comic-book Latino Napoleon. The USA is described as the big bad wolf, which they were, but not in the way it was described. The death of Allende is a ongoing point of discussion. Did he commit suicide or was he killed during the fighting. This is still discussed, but the movie don't come with an answer. The technical achievement was also well below par. After the movie ended I thought that it was sponsored by Pinochet-money, so bad was it.

Allende, directed by Miguel Littin, is a historically accurate film that covers the events of the Chilean revolution in 1973. It follows Allende, the president of Chile, and his defense of the capital against the Chilean military and the U.S. government. This film is produced for those that are looking at it through a historical lens, and is made from the perspective of someone who knows history well.

Littin directed this film to display bias in favor of Allende and the Chilean government. Littin wanted to shed light on the different perspectives of the Chilean revolution. This of course is not specifically stated. The viewer is left on their own to determine whose perspective the film is looking at. The director shows the film through Allende's perspective by focusing the camera on him and on what he says.

Allende is perfect for educational purposes. It is historically accurate while providing high-quality acting and camera-work. The only criticism one might have is that the whole film is in subtitles, which while it might not pose a problem to some, to others it could be a turn-off. In summary, Allende is the perfect film for the classroom.

Allende Historical Film Review This movie, Allende en su laberinto was a good movie. The director, Miguel Littin wanted to portray the last 7 hours of former President of Chile, Salvador Allende, inside Palace of La Moneda, during the brutal military coup d'etat on Sept. 11, 1973, the day democracy in Chile ended. This movie was intended for all audiences, around the world to show a specific event that went down in history. The message the director portrays in this movie is hard to find, you kind of have to know the history of the event before watching it or you may be very confused. However, other than to make money, the director made this movie to show people all around the world how much killing and bombing went on that day. During this, it is in fact biased and only shows one side of the story, where the U.S. is the antagonist and wants to overthrow Allende and his government, while at the same time showing how much the Chilean people suffered, due to the decisions their President had made. However, because it is biased, it gives off the wrong impression because people will have very mixed opinions. We don't know the exact reasoning as to why the U.S. wanted to overthrow him, and it just makes Chile look like the only one that's the victim. On the other hand though, I personally have not seen any other movies made on this topic, and I don't think there's any other interpretation for it. However, the director accepts interpretations and portrays them very well, for example, showing the actual footage of the burning La Moneda Palace, and showing how destroyed it was during the movie also with a lot of smoke and fire. The quality of the film was good for the most part, however some things stood out that didn't look real at all. For example, the burning fire in the background not going anywhere, and the bombings definitely looked fake. You could hardly tell what was going on especially when they kept switching from scene to scene, and to top it off, they got really confusing at points and the actors did and said completely random things that made no sense at all, like the boys dad that they called "three fingers," you ask yourself, why does that even have to do with anything? On a better note, the only really good actor that made the film, was Daniel Muñoz, the man who played Salvadore Allende. He showed a lot of emotion and you can tell her cared about his role and took it very seriously.
