The past weekend I had the opportunity to see a Mexican movie called " The Zone ", no doubt this is an excellent piece Cultural UP us the reality of a society that has lost its principles and values, forms a portrait of the great differences between social classes, the indifference of governments and wealthy people to the problems of the lower classes and, in turn, the need for those with better economic conditions of living within walled cities, as a way to avoid the uncertainty, paradoxically also clearly marking the distance between them (the rich) and others (the poor), clarifying that it is not possible to move from one class to another. I must emphasize the high impact that the film since it shows an excessive difference between the experiences and living conditions between the upper and lower classes, without doubt, a film that can not miss.
SYNOPSIS (Courtesy of Mundocine ): "Alejandro is a teenager living in a gated residential area, self-sufficient and strong private security. Both his family and the rest of the residents, forced by rising crime, the fear of violence and lawlessness, have chosen this place as a last bastion of peace. During a morning, three intruders manage to enter the place to rob a house. During the attack killed an elderly woman, but two of the robbers are killed by private guards. The third robber managed to escape and remains at large within the Area. After a bitter debate and awareness of corruption and inefficiency prevailing most of the locals decide to take justice themselves.
In the basement of his home, the young Alexander is, by surprise, the thief, Miguel, a young man of your age, scared, acknowledges his crime and ask for help. While the search continues, the views of local residents within the area begin to divide. After much hesitation, he decides to help Michael. However, the growing tension and fear among residents of the area, added to the pressure exerted by the police from the outside, will hinder its purpose. Amidst all these events, Alejandro is forced to grow and find their own world view .
DIRECTOR'S NOTES: " The Zone is the story of an assault with a deadly weapon and hunting for a man, but above all is the story of a broken society, divided the story of two worlds that fear and hate each other. What to do when the inefficiency and corruption of who should take the law leaves us helpless? What to do in a world where some men, a few, are shamelessly rich and the great most desperately poor? What to do with the terror which is isolated behind a wall and the frustration of living on the other side? The Zone is intended as a call attention, a warning for a possible future way, a way of life which is becoming closer.
By surrounding walls, the residents of the area prohibit others from entering, without realizing that the same wall means closure for them. In the interest of protection also lose the basic right to privacy, privacy sacrificed closed circuit monitoring of all, an excessively high price for a security that will never be definitely safe. No matter the size of the fortress, no matter the height of the wall, while the imbalance exists, someone will to skip the rules.
The view is that of a young boy, Alexander, a resident of the area, you will be forced to confront a wider world than the comfort of your own life. Since the violent events that occur in the Area and the subsequent relationship with the thief, you need to question everything. Through the knowledge of both sides of the conflict will begin a personal journey that will take shape and find its ethical principles, in the midst of this chaos, their own vision of justice: "... maybe this side and the other side are the Likewise, we are the same thing. Perhaps there should be a form of justice that protects us all without becoming enemies, without forcing us to hate and human misery. "The law must exist as a means of regulating coexistence in a society that even the offender should have a framework of justice for a decision on punishment .
work in the image considered important to exploit the use of closed circuit cameras to generate a sense of constant surveillance and constant climate of paranoia that exists pending an "imminent" attack. Paranoia of residents will lead to a dangerously totalizing view that does not allow in itself the diversity of thought, every action that contradicts most will quickly controlled. The use of different textures in the image allowed me to create a way to distinguish the inside and the outside, emphasizing inside the area, an idyllic world, clean, so perfect that it becomes a decorated false and hypocritical.
