Customer Reviews of It's Raining on Santiago
Interesting - parallels to Venezuela, Haiti, ... are current Interesting portrayal of the military coup by the military supported by the CIA.
Sentimentally aligned with the ordinary people, unionized workers, university students, and economic populists of Allende's Chile. It may invoke an interest to research how this history has evolved since the events of the movie. Pinochet's fall from grace via CIA collaborated murders in Washington?
To the extent it is truly a documentary, it tended not to emphasize the degree to which Pinochet and his allied officers were schooled in the School of the Americas. Strangely missing much on the involvement or non-involvement of the Church in the takeover by a wealthy military secretive subset of society in a largely catholic country.
Re-opens chapters I had forgotten, and aspects I never knew. The relevance to recent events in Venezuela and Haiti cannot be far from your mind as you watch.
Another Communist Liar
First of all I'm Chilean and only have words of Gratitude for General Pinochet.
In this film they show the Chilean military killing Allende. That is just a lie. Even Allende's own daughter recognized that he killed himself. So, more than the scenery or the acting it is important to point out that this film is mere propaganda.
To a review below that claims Pinochet is a fascist, please go read a book. Ohh, but Pinochet killed and tortured. So I guess Robespierre, the Che Guevara and Osama Bin Laden are all fascistas?
Pinochet is a Capitalist, funadamentalist if you want, but not a fascist. Of course these days everyone that doesn't agree with marxixst/liberals is a fascist. Wether it is Pinochet, Bush or Thatcher.
Please, when you libs come up with more prejudice, try to make sure you do it with some historical accuracy. I'm still waiting to see more fascists implement completely free markets policies like Pinochet.
You left dinosours are so lost these days you just don't know what else to invent.
Coup in Chile
This film is a straight forward quasi-documentary of the events of Sept. 11, 1973 when the democratic government of Chile was overthrown by A. Pinochet aided to some extent by the CIA. I found the film of interest, but it lacks the drama and emotion of the 'Battle of Algiers.' Allende is killed by the Chilean army in the film, which may or may not be historically accurate. The film is in the French language, so it's not suitable for most Spanish language classrooms.
