The director of the film, Miguel Littin, has directed in many Chilean films. This film is created for a narrow audience of people who are interested in the topic and is very bias towards Allende and against the United States government, which is why many Chileans appreciate the film compared to people of the United States.The directors view of the situation is very clear, as he put the movie through the eyes of Allende and uses Allendes words and thoughts to reflect Litton's own beliefs, which is the Chile military are traitors and the U.S government is unjustified to help bring in a new leader instead of Allende. Every idea portrayed goes against the U.S government and the Chilean military that is rebelling. The most important points made is the film are how the military are unloyal betrayers. The director hences this by having Allende repeat this multiple times, claiming the navy and military are backstabbers. This point is made many times because of his own beliefs. He wants everybody seeing the movie to think that the military is no good for going against its own government. The reason the director had directed this film was to make his opinion vocal for everybody to see. He also is very passionate about these historical events, as he chose to make a movie about it rather than anything else he could think of. His interpretation is very sound and gives new insight to people who are not familiar with these historical events. His intentions are to get those, who don't know the history, belief what he believes, which is the U.S government and Chilean military are backstabbing traitors.

He made a point that the U.S are the bad guys in this whole situation. The director does this by keeping the U.S government and Chilean military out of the movie. He ignores them so that it is only the Chilean government's point of view and thoughts. By keeping opposing views out, they cannot justify why they are overthrowing Allende. These event are acuurate, however, there are many examples of bias, including never mentioning the bads of the Chilean government and why the military is trying to overthrow their own government. His biases gets in the way of telling the story, it would be better if both point of views of this topic were told. There are no other films that are made about this topic, which can be why he chose to write about this historical event and why he also made it to be very biased, knowing most people are not informed on this and cannot know for sure that he is favoring the Chilean government. He seems to reject other interpretations, as he was very biased towards the Chilean government and strongly opposed the overthrowing of the government. The film does not offer much new interpretation, except for making people see the history of Allende being overthrown only through the eyes of Allende and his faithful government.The directors view of this history is reasonable considering he's from Chile and agrees with socialism and Allende. This film relates to my knowledge of the overthrow because i knew that they had taken over the government and Allende got killed, which happened at the end of the film. The quality was not bad but was not that good either. The acting was pretty good but not too believable. They did not reload weapons much or at all, and some death scenes were not believable. The dialogue was good for the time and setting, and the only other thing that may need improving is the bombing and fire scenes. They did not look real. The last picture that was actual footage of the palace on fire was good.
