Machuca Box Office, and Reception Outside of Chile
[edit]Fact: The film Machuca did not do well at the box office outside its home country. See IMBD.
- This is not relevant information as no Chilean movie has ever done well abroad. Besides, the IMDb does not have box office information on Machuca. ☆ CieloEstrellado 04:05, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
- The reader of the article has no idea whether Chilean movies do well abroad or not. Martincamino (talk) 03:02, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
Fact: Critics outside of Chile, notably Kenneth Turran of the Los Angeles Times, praise its recreation of the Chile of 1973.
- I will not dispute this. ☆ CieloEstrellado 04:05, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
Fact: The average viewer who did not know about Chile when s/he saw the film (such as myself) did not understand the political context in which it was occuring, unlike, say, Missing, which painted a clearer picture of what was going on in Chile at the time.

These are all matters of undisputed fact which I have presented in the article. But they have been consistently eliminated by one of the users, because the user does not like what these facts represent.
I would not be surprised if this user eliminates this very comment. --MILH 13:00, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
IMDB is a poor source for anything; there are reliable sources easily found.
This makes no sense: "headed by the director of the school Father McEnroe ability". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.226.204.58 (talk) 16:02, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
- And I cannot divine what the author intended -- any help? 96.226.204.58 (talk) 17:08, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
The article’s author (or authors) presents a quasi-Marxist interpretation of the film, whose POV is more subtle. Can someone with a less strident agenda amend it, or add some depth? People who read the article might be looking for more than an undergraduate tutorial.
Misconception
[edit]"The film is from the perspective of Gonzalo Infante, a privileged Chilean boy, during a time period in which the lower classes are politically mobilized, demanding more rights and forcing fundamental change" Gonzalo isn't "privileged", he's just from a wealthier family. The lower classes aren't demanding more rights, they already had the same rights. Some political movements wanted to have more control over the economy. --41.150.234.218 (talk) 22:57, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
