This article from the forthcoming issue of KSL: Bulletin of the Kate Sharpley Library highlights the falsification and recuperation it's been accused of: 'This movie is manipulative and tinkers with the real history which was insulting and terrifying to all of us who, male and female, who fought and lived through those years.'2006-09-01T08:33:04+08:00Anarkismoanarkismoeditors@lists.riseup.nethttp://www.anarkismo.net/atomfullposts?story_id=3362http://www.anarkismo.net/graphics/feedlogo.gifBoikot Salvador Filmhttp://www.anarkismo.net/article/3362#comment31432006-09-01T08:33:04+08:00Garciamore info

There is a g...I was forced to sit through this tripe in a university viewing. <br />
<br />
There is a group of Spanish and Catalan MA students at this university (which I will not name) who I greatly respect and who stressed the importance of this film and highly recommended that Hispanic Studies students see it. <br />
<br />
I went along expecting an in depth analysis of Puig Antich and of the MIL. Instead I watched a 2 hour long soap opera that could have easily have been passed off as an extended advert . <br />
<br />
There were several things that disturbed me about this film: Firsly, MIL's pamphlets and manifestos were equated with some kind of 'boys own' comic and not as serious political comments/propaganda (look at the rush of cartoon characters that appear in the shot of the publications as they come off the printing press. Even Captain America appears. I kid you not!). <br />
<br />
Secondly, the macho 'gun battles' could have easily been at home in an episode of Starsky and Hutch, bullets flying everywhere, but no-one actually ever getting wounded or killed. Good job they weren't depicting reality, eh? <br />
<br />
And finally, the sadistic and pointless circling of the camera as the 'protragonist' is garroted. This scene seemed to go on and on. But for what purpose? This certainly wasn't a comment on the political situation of the time, nor was it a comment on institutionalised brutality. It added nothing to our understanding of Puig Antich or to history. It doesn't take a genius to work out that strangulation takes a while to kill the victim. Why do we need to see that? It was simply sadistc.<br />
<br />
I agree entirely with the analysis here. The makers of this film should be denounced and held accountable for their actions in rewriting history and short circuiting (political) debate. This film is insulting to both Catalans and Spaniards. But it's also an affront to the audience's intelligence.let's be realistic chapshttp://www.anarkismo.net/article/3362#comment126542010-08-11T07:14:13+08:00grahamoggymcgraham at yahoo dot comi got this for free with publico paper on DVD.

Never thought i'd enjoy a film about anarchists. All i knew about anarchism was Anarchy in the Uk, by the Sex Pistols. all i knew were that anarchists were a bunch of ineffectual black clad ex or neo punk rockers, glue sniffers, all in all social misfits that liked a good old shout, throw a few bricks at the police force, arouse a standstill and then scarper when the going got tough. <br />
<br />
this film got me to have a good old read about anarchism, what it was, what it is, why's and wherefores. <br />
<br />
But really this review and the previous comment have made me realise why anarchism never really did, nor never really will, get its message across. it's too fuckin angy man. it's too fuckin negative man. it aint accomodating, It;s too much hot air. which is a pity cause it sounds marvellous in theory.<br />
<br />
So, great, moving film. It'd probably turn a Nazi into to a conservative and a and a conservative to collectivist. Or perhaps not. But at least the sentiment weighs heavily in that direction..<br />
<br />
A great great film which presents a Salvador Puig as a great hero. A pity some of you out their prefer the dubious weight of your own hopeless rhetoric to actually getting something real done.Can anarchy survive?http://www.anarkismo.net/article/3362#comment155872014-10-01T13:26:46+08:00ruby2zdyRe: Whether anarchy can survive -- no.

If there's no central control, preferably a FAIR democracy (unlike the US's), there will be nobody to stop a dictator from arising and then you're back to Franco or Hitler. In the US, we have a dictator -- Big Business -- which rules by paying the people who are supposed to represent us (The People) in many different ways, not the least of which is monetary support of their campaigns. Then those elected make the laws that favor Big Business.
