32KNew Order – Die neue Weltordnung: Directed by Michel Franco. With Naian González Norvind, Fernando Cuautle, Diego Boneta, Samantha Yazareth Anaya. A lavish high-society wedding unexpectedly turns into a class struggle that leads to a violent coup.
“The film is shown pretty much through the eyes of a young woman from a rich family. There is not much explanation of the situation in a country, you just see one after another events happening to the main character and build your own story out of it. The problem with this film is, you have a rich family which sort of doesnu0026#39;t care about anyone except the main character and you have the poor which are pretty much shown as mindless monkeys with weapons. Then there is the third side the military puppetmasters which are actually taking over the power forming a new dictatorship. So from the perspective of the creator of this film, there is just a constant struggle of who will be in power at the top and nothing can be changed about it, we are just supposed to comply or our corporate overlords will make it all even more dystopian. When in fact what is wrong with current society is that you have giant corporations and the rich totally avoiding taxes, governments maintaining inflation, so that the poor always stay poor. So when you get a film like this itu0026#39;s more like a message to the poor, just keep working for nothing or it will be even worse, which makes it a depressive film is it offers no ideas on the solution, it just shows a mindless wheel we are all running in…”
