Let me
introduce you to “Mexico in three times”, an important documentary dedicated to
the Centennial of the Mexican Revolution. Intelligent film reported by
prominent Mexican voices, it enhances animated maps and artistic paintings.
This film develops an enriching critical vision of crucial
moment in history of Mexico in general charge of Enrique Krauze, writer for the International New York Times and Clio
editorial director.
Krauze was responsible for the writing vision
and mission of this documentary it tries to explain the gradual process of
decline of powerful Spanish monarchies and how Mexico claimed his independence.
The sudden “power vacuum” in 1808, caused by Napoleon's invasion of Spain,
would be the opportunity of autonomy of Mexico. This situation opened the door
for Mexicans to reach their independence The first rebellions were severely
repressed and this documentary reflects this troubled historical moment with an impeccable
script movie in charge of Greco Sotelo and directed by Juan Prieto.
Is relevant
to this libertarian cause the Miguel Hidalgo’s conspiracy”, important figure
who left the debate of freedom and summoned the people into rebellion. The
scrip movie, wrote by Laura Emilia Pacheco and David Macareño, show how this
leader defended a territory in hunger and poverty, dependency being
the main reason for this and the valuable
legacy that has
ever been left to man: respect of the sovereign rights of countries.
This film -
through a deep historical analysis – develops the most concerned ages of Mexico
emancipation. Also the sim where the film will be screened is perfectly set in
a traditional fair of Mexico. Even if you don’t understand Spanish you would
feel absolutely astonished by the quality of this presentation. It includes
gastronomical details such as exquisite variety of “mole” to guest, a detour
dance dedicated to the moon, paving stone and colonial paintings of renowned
Mexican artists.
This
documentary is a significant opportunity to know other culture in Second
Life. The land, called “Pabellon de la
Cultura”, is deeply tied to Mexican national identity and regional culture this
time. This is other way to experience
Mexican past without having to take a long plane flight. I felt in Mexico few
seconds and almost saw the spirit of Octavio Paz whispering in my ear ancient
secrets. You can travel via teleport,
without ever leaving your comfortable seat.
Arts and
culture are an integral part of society in Mexico. You will although watch
early and late murals in hands of Rivera, Orozco among others. The paints work
reveals this rebellious character and the art of storytelling trough images. They
are stunning Mexican print art work. These arts crudely follow the history of
Mexico. Become a part of this cultural event. For those of us who really love
this “game” called Second Life, the realization of any event like this depends
on the community.
