Chavez: Inside the Coup (2003)
A bag a half-truths
This is a movie that tells exactly what is convenient to Venezuelan authoritarian and anti-democratic president Hugo Chavez. It seems like a paid assigment. It fails to say, for instance, that Chavez ordered the military to fire against peacefull demostrators and because of this many officials refused to comply with that macabre order, triggering a confusing situation that motivated Chavez to cowardly resign his post without fighting.
And, of course, it fails to tell that 7 out of 10 venezuelans want this demagogue to leave power because his government has impoverished the country, among levels of corruption never seen in a country regularly ridden by dishonest governments.
This is propaganda disguised as art. Well done, but terrible biased and dishonest. Shame on this bag of half-truths!
La boda (1982)
The history of Venezuelan democracy in one wedding party
Urgelles handles with skill a complex movie that moves from present to past fluently. Several plots crosses in a wedding party, portraying not only Venezuela's transition from dictatorship to democracy (1958) but the old and new typologies that characterized its people.
