Short film on Argentina's military dictatorship | Padre - by Santiago Bou Grasso

[@adrianacestau7025]

Excelente cortometraje ! Yo entiendo todo, hasta cada paso y mirada que da ella porque soy argentina de 72 años y viví esa horrible para de la historia de nuestro país.😢😢 Por eso, aunque creamos que ya pasó... no ! es triste decirlo pero siguen estando al acecho para volver a tomar el control. Basta con mirar " las verdaderas noticias" de Argentina para saber que estàn y que aún hay gente que defiende y apoya los crímenes de lesa humanidad.¡ MEMORIA, VERDAD Y JUSTICIA! es el lema que no debemos olvidar. 🇦🇷💔🇦🇷🫂🇦🇷🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Here’s what I understood, and I’m curious to know your thoughts: The short film is set in Argentina in 1983, during the country's transition from dictatorship to democracy. It tells the story of a woman who devotes her life to caring for her bedridden father, a former military officer. The film immediately establishes an oppressive atmosphere, reinforced by the relentless ticking of a clock that dictates her every action, from making tea to administering medicine. She is trapped in this routine, which seems to strip her of any personal freedom and agency. As the story unfolds, the tension escalates. The woman is torn between her filial duty and the weight of her father's past, which symbolizes the atrocities and injustices of the dictatorship. The climax occurs when she begins to break down emotionally, overwhelmed by the burden of her life. She is caught in a vicious cycle of guilt and responsibility, unable to escape the oppressive environment. After this emotional breakdown, she withdraws further into herself, distancing herself from reality. This retreat highlights her inability to break free from the past. The film ends without a clear resolution, mirroring the lingering trauma and unanswered questions that many Argentinians still face regarding the crimes of the dictatorship. The scene where she looks out the window and sees dead birds in the courtyard is particularly symbolic. These birds, whether imagined or perceived as dead, represent her state of despair and mental entrapment. Birds, typically symbols of freedom, are depicted here as lifeless, reflecting her inability to escape her own mental prison and the shadows of her father's past. This imagery illustrates the crushing weight of history that prevents her from living fully in the present or looking forward to the future.

Wow! Where did you get this kind of knowledge and understanding..❤

I don’t believe the clock “dictates” her. It’s an inanimate object. Her time is regimented by the gong of the clock, as if an order was given. I can see how you think it dictates but I strongly feel there are better interpretations.

@@ZahaviXClocks literally dictated every single minute of every day I worked in the factories. Took me a solid year to shake clock trepidation after I escaped.

Truth be told on what you just imagine at the end of the cartoon part you see how the lives have changed it’s another era Yet by the end of credits You are reminded of the crying voices that want Justice is not only in Argentina to my believe it’s everywhere there’s Injustice and you’ll clearly see it during Wars Disasters Feminicide Drug Cartels is the plague that never leaves 😢

Increible trabajo. Durisimo, para tanta gente, y ver desde este otro ángulo muestra lo traumatico que puede ser el haber pasado por una dictadura. Donde el exeso y abuso de poder irradiaba daño a todos los entornos.

[@samiam5712]

Watch to the end. There’s more after the credits. I almost missed it because I only read English. Very moving.

[@Achill101]

I watch it to the end. I've heard of the murders of the military regime in Argentina. But what does the film show?

They are the Grandmothers and Mothers of Plaza de Mayo... So we are all waiting for a child, brother, father or mother, who will never return and who we do not even know where they are…

Qué bella metáfora sobre un detenido desaparecido, me pareció un cuadro poético. Felicitaciones a su realizador.

[@ColleenDoyle-j1n]

Well done!! Just wow!

[@MarianaRibeiro-yx8op]

Interessante essa película, o ser humano quando não aceita a realidade cria um mundo paralelo para sobreviver, quantas vezes já fuji de casa sem não sair.

[@fyiaustralia9686]

Technically, a brilliantly produced stop-animation film. The subtext is extraordinary - the oppressed forced to endure hardship and suffering (sad woman cooped up in her house), seeing life taken away from loved ones (little birds), and having to turn a blind eye to the torment of tyranny just to survive (close the curtains). Thankfully there is now a new Argentinian government that offers hope.

Please add switchable subtitles.

Why did the clock strike 3:00 when it shows 9:30 and 6:30?

[@raystephens9550]

We beget what we sow. With the death of empathy for the least also goes the empathy for thee. Cause and Effect are not necessarily movement in only one direction nor linear, and sometimes surprisingly circular and retrograde with the cause following the effect. Such is entropy.

[@IsaiasAstorga-d4r]

Buscarle una justificación a la maldad ensoberbiada y prepotente no tiene sentido. La maldad es maldad, nada puede justificarla. Eso fue la dictadura.

[@samhend]

I don't get it
