Literature Expanded by Political Ideology
Although Marquez was involved in the production of this cinematic adaptation of his story, this is a work of Birri, which all the other reviewers on this board seem to miss. Of the harsh reviews of this film posted, only one of them actually sees the film for what it is, and they hate it for being what it is: a critique of imperialism via an experimental visual narrative.
If you're looking to teach your short story via this piece, you will fail and end up a frustrated lazy professor, and if you're looking for Hollywood mediocrity jacked up with special effects, go watch a Marvel movie, but if you want a story that will surprise you and question your views and ways of seeing, then you will find it here.
