Chile Under Pinochet Introduction The film isn’t just about a Latin American family but about a man, Esteban Trueba. The film revolves around his loves, beliefs, politics and how all these themes come into doubt or have to be reanalyzed. The film follows Trueba, through his trials in life, his accomplishments and at the end how he comes to terms with all that has happened. The film also does a good job at reflecting the issue of the class structure and the huge gap between the landowners and the poor which we read in the book. It also does a good job at visually illustrating the mind set and rigid mentality of the powerful. Chile The film taught me how Chile was no different or for that matter is no different then other societies in several aspects. In the film we see a young Trueba courting Rosa and promising to become rich in order to gain the parents approval. This seems to be a request that all parents, in all societies, of a higher social standing make to potential husbands of there daughter’s.
