Movie Reviews of Bolivar Soy Yo(Bolivar I Am)Movie Review: AN UNKNOWN MASTERPIECE Summary: 5 Stars
The premise of this movie is quite simple: if Simon Bolivar reappeared, even in the figure of a TV actor, how would those around him react? Would history repeat itself? Both the government and the guerilla want the charisma provided by the fictional Bolivar, whose enormous popularity stems from the fact he stars in everybody's favorite soap. The movie blurs fiction and reality, past and present and the outcome is both predictable and horrifying. Bolivar is betrayed and abandoned a second time. It is made clear how the left and the right "construct" a Bolivar that will suit their political ends, and it is chilling to hear the "mad" actor quote passages from Bolivar's writings verbatim. The balkanization of the Bolivarian dream began even as he fought for it. See it together with the excellent "Manuelita Saez" for another version of the same betrayal.
Summary of Bolivar Soy Yo(Bolivar I Am)The actor, Santiago Miranda, frantically abandons the production set of the popular soap opera "The lovers of the Liberator" because he doesn?t agree with the script considering it a misunderstanding of history and instead flees toward delusion. Balancing between lucidity and madness, the actor aspires to rewrite and direct the remaining episodes of the soap opera in order to illustrate the real vision and dream of Bolivar. Miranda is also determined to finish Bolivar?s dream of creating the "Great Colombia": a strong and unified state consisting of 5 Latin-American countries that would combat the institutional chaos, lack of opportunity and ignite the rebuilding of a region that faced 160 years of internal war. *Spanish with English subtitles
