Pablo Larraín in his excellent black comedy offers us here an act of commitment to the most basic desires and thoughts of the dictator, murderer, coward and thief Augusto Pinochet, at a time when the entire progressive and left-handed world is quick to consider him dead.
Larraín shows us that this Beast acted in the name of justice, which cannot be reduced to law or right and deep down he never cared at all what the rest of the people thought. It elevates greed to the highest motivation in the spirit of Pinochet. That was Pinochet's great work in Chile, in transforming us into heartless and greedy beings. Pinochet is more alive than ever. Jacques Derridá would say "the specters of Pinochet fly over Chile."
Many people in Chile not only forgive the 3,000 deaths and 200,000 tortured, in fact, they applaud him and many of them even condemn the fact that he would not have murdered more left-handed people.
But what they don't want to believe and go into denialism is all the money that this criminal stole. They would never forgive themselves for that and that is why the Neanderthal brain of the fascist majority in Chile blocks these facts and ignores them. Because a hero would never be a professional thief like Pinochet was.
