author: Ariel Beramendi "Father Amaro came to Cochabamba for a film about the water war in 2000 "comment made my younger brother while we were celebrating the holiday this year in Cochabamba. A statement surreal for me to visit my hometown after a year and a half.
More surreal was it like to return to Rome via Madrid: Having my city Cochabamba before my seat in a theater in Madrid, sitting in front of Don Bosco School became the headquarters of "Waters del Tunari "see the busy Avenida Heroines in front to the Archbishop, the heart of the Water War in 2000, recognizing the Seton hospital where my mother and see five Archbishop of Cochabamba seconds just marching through the streets, the Main Square and the headquarters of the government ..., I mean better:
I leave Bolivia with social protests placated by the withdrawal President Evo Morales decided to step back on the decision to raise fuel prices 70%. The most direct route between Bolivia and the Old World is fitted to a "Torísimo" name that an airline has given its larger aircraft, where the food offered during the cruise, show that the company barely survived.
Back in Madrid decided to spend a few hours in the city, I have ten hours of bridge between a plane and another. January 6 is the day of the Magi, one of the few dates left the English calendar in red. I am in Madrid, in one of its most famous street, the Gran Vía - which this year celebrates 100 years - today is cold and empty stores sold out because yesterday and today until midnight each stayed home and God in all .
At the door of a cinema I see an elegant Chola La Paz (woman from La Paz Bolivia dressed in costume results a combination of antique English colonial dress and hat i traditional nglés bowler). I also decided to enter the cinema mode waiting for the next plane. It feels strange to see on the screen just left town a few hours ago.
"Also the rain," a film directed by Icíar Bollaín , is the story of a film within of another movie, the plot unfolds with a narrative parallel and three co-starring actors. Sebastian (Gael García Bernal ) the director and producer Costa (Luis Tosar ) come to Cochabamba in 2000 with a cast of English actors for a film focused on the atrocity of colonization led by Christopher Columbus and the inhumane treatment of indigenous people, seen only as slaves. Film producers in Cochabamba recorded following the mercantilist logic - the extras are paid two dollars a day -. Thus began filming the film about the abuses in the name of God and the Gospel to conquer a new world, which leads to serious questions in some priests like Bartolome de las Casas and Antonio Montesinos. The film company is hampered because it begins the "Water War" that in 2000 revolted the entire region of Cochabamba to expel the transnational corporation Bechtel be awarded 27.5% of the company "Aguas del Tunari", responsible for privatizing municipal water service and up, in some cases, more than 100% the price of water. In this uprising - also real - only narrates the role of social class unprotected identified to the south of Cochabamba. Is not known what was an uprising in which all social sectors in the interest of the city.
These two historical facts "Also the rain" have their meeting point in the third protagonist in real life a rising star of the movie Bolivia: Juan Carlos Aduviri, in the film who plays Daniel, an actor by accident, becomes an actor who starred in the film about colonialism embodied indigenous leader Hatuey. The film, which will represent the English film at the Oscars, has high quality of performance, is full of parallels and counterpoints along its double narrative. Water is a precious commodity today - as was the gold in the colony - on the whole peoples can be retested for new commercial or ideological empires that do not respect human dignity. In the two films that the viewer witnesses simultaneously denouncing the falsehood and hypocrisy and social human: producers, director and actors in the film about colonialism are revealed as people totally opposed to the characters they represent, the Water War leads to characters to stresses which they voice their fears, obsessions and inconsistencies.
The story of "the rain also" not have a happy ending, the film ends with the hope to end the Bolivians from the movie " what they do best is to survive "in the words of co-star in Bolivia. This film deftly unearths the guilt of the settlers, and the resentment of the colonized.
Soon there'll say film "Rain also" is anti-colonialist and anti-imperialist , in fact so biased revives historical problems that the current government of Bolivia is state policy to justify a regime that has created new excluded and marginalized, in Bolivia there are still citizens of first and second. In the area south of Cochabamba still many people buy water from tanker trucks.
Every film has an intention, "The rain also" is no exception. Of the two historical facts that are told there are aspects that simply ignored and others are highlighted to death. Be part of the criticality and maturity with which viewers will see and analyze the film, constructed and de-constructed the story of this film.
Moreover, all reality is full of inconsistencies and partial views of reality. Bolivia, precisely, has been declared a secular state but promotes the ancestral religion, laws are passed to the Bolivians speak at least one native language when the president himself speaks only English. In Bolivia, wants to lead the international environmental movement and calls UN to recognize the Pachamama, while continuing talks with Iran to exploit the uranium to power nuclear programs, and delivered into the hands of India steelmaker Jindal Steel and Power Iron exploitation for 40 years. M and wonder: do we remain slaves of new ideologies?
For now, after the film leave the theater to take a train that will take me to the airport of Barajas, as my journey continues and I must return to the reality facing the future.
