My favorite movie

The truth is that i´m not a great fan of movies, so it isn´t difficult for me pick my favorite movie. I only have to think in a movie that I saw lonely and until the end, and between those, the movie that marked me in a more meaningful way was Machuca. 

That is a drama and historic movie from 2004. It is set in 1973, in the last days of the Unidad Popular government. Gonzalo is a 11 years old kid who studies in a high class school and come from a high class family too. the principal of his school bring up there a group of poor children to give them a better education without discrimination. In this group of children was Pedro Machuca, who will become a great friend of Gonzalo, sharing a lot of moments and visiting their homes, knowing the different realities what they live. When they go to Pedro´s house, Gonzalo fall in love with Silvana, who lives with Pedro and his mother. The group of three friends are going to live important events in a context of extreme political polarisation that make the friendship between them was over.

The film was directed by Andrés Wood and stars Matías Quer, Manuela Martelli and Ariel Mateluna. I really like this movie because it shows a particularity view of the political facts of that time, that is the kids view. The kids live all the process in a different way, and that way always was underestimated, and this fantastic movie claims that way.
