Gregorio is a 12-year-old Indian Canadian boys and their parents living in the northern part of Peru's Andean region, life The poor people so that a decision to move to the western city of Lima find a way out. After his father came to Lima to work in construction sites, both mother and son are temporary residents in dilapidated Wopeng, mothers do sewing to supplement household. However contrary, the foreign population in Lima, it is difficult to find a good job, remuneration is also pathetic, a quarrel with the foreman after his father lost his work, he fell ill You Jiyou gas, and soon died. Gregorio had to live day by forcing people out shoe-shining, the streets he recognized a group of peers, to circus performances, and sell flowers, and even stealing a living, and all the bustling big cities also a temptation to Greg Rio was pure soul, and he and this group of teenagers together in between the streets, falling prey to criminal proportions. The ultimate playground in the first theft, the number of children caught by the police, but escaped and Gregorio, Heart of his remorse to all the mothers be honest, painful decision to take her son to return to his hometown, So that they will never leave this dream shattered city. . .
the 1980s as the new song movement in the popular South American continent, its impact has already gone beyond the music, some of the movie industry barren The countries have also begun to explore the new changes, and Peru's Grupo
Chaski is the resulting health. Peru in the new film as the most important creative groups, Grupo
Chaski was established in 1982, composed of six films, is a non-profit non-governmental Cooperation Organization, the objective is to the film as a tool to reflect the prevailing Peru contemporary social problems, especially poor children survive the real status quo. They were each in the creation of its negative level, script writing, directing, cinematography, editing, and so are personally get involved, all the works of unity to "Grupo
Chaski "signed. GC Although only existed for six years or so, but the shooting of two feature films and a documentary in Berlin, Toronto Film Festival, such as size have been on the winning, but rarely do business promotion, not many outsiders know .
This is my first look at their films, six of the men and women, have a good documentary director, So more or less a little documentary film style. Since then Peru film a shortage of funds, the film extraordinarily difficult process, almost all the participants not to pay, not only the use of all non-professional actors, and lack of equipment, usually need some more seats to switch the scene can only choose to use single-lens mobile Completed, the tablet screen a little rough part of the original, but instead enhance the credibility of the film, especially GC signs of the player through the face of self-initiated story of the design (of all their works are such Narrative practices), a blurring of fiction and the real border. The Andean plateau and the magnificent scenery, mountain farmers and simple crafts scene, Qialang Ge, Pai Hsiao, harp and moving Xinxian Shougu woven into the national music, are worthy of careful recollection, quite Iranian children's film Qingxinziran style.
true at the same time also show a video of Peru's various shortcomings of the mainstream of society, such as the outsiders of discrimination, street children unsupported Of life, frequent occurrence of crime and other cases. Especially the United States refuse to Peruvian culture and traditional moral values of corrosion, in Lima can be seen everywhere on the streets of the old US-soft drinks, pornographic magazines, a fashion showcase in the display of models, such as flashing neon night fantasy paradise. . . And the north-central mountain formation of strong contrast of poverty. And young people is not the day indulging in dumping from abroad from the old games, is in cinemas in good look at the Levin sewage silly action drama, this so-called "pop life"so that they gradually lose the character of this should be pure and lovely Side and become secular and sleek, even evil, like the film Gregorio the same process of transformation.
"Gregorio"It reminds me of the classic Turkish film "flock"to the same about Wai Xiangren Large cities seeking to have lost self-survival story, which is different, "Gregorio"to children the main line, to some extent than the "flock"of the story even more brutal. When the film finally met Gregorio on the road that he took several leading astray the "brothers", he tried to use force to release the inner anger, but all the efforts and the matter is of no help, to stay in the vast desert Only his own voice crying. . . In fact, every street children are the victims of reality, real is not they should be condemned, as a film of children crying in the face of the lens of their own experience of being abandoned, they are not born evil, but forced them to the external environment To give up the basic survival of conscience. When Gregorio's mother boarded the car to go home when she is no longer in the hearts of the city have any nostalgic, but it Gregorio » He can regain first place and sister together to save injured wild pigeons at the kind of pure and good? »
the streets of Lima and still is to car to car, like countless Gregorio the same Waixiang Ren still continue to Pour into the city, looking for a life of hope. . .
"Gregorio", the sixth in 1984 in Havana New Latin American Film Festival OCIC Award, the 1985 Bogota International Film Festival Gold Award, 1986 Fribourg, Switzerland Third World Film Festival Special Jury Prize.
personal score: 5/5 for one of the best and most
affecting children film I've ever seen.
