Tragically Sensational
I personally have a certain mistrust for the movies that attempt to affect the audience sentimentally; I do not favor my mind being taken hostage by the director through affection and tears which I think happened to some extent in Pearl Button. However this does not even slightly devalue this great work of art in my opinion.The movie explores the astonishing world of the old natives and tries to visually find a language for the modern man to understand this lost world at least partially. It seems that a magnificent and unique world has been lost to us due to the arrogance of modernity, science and industrial age.The director tries to show the audience that this forgotten old world was not the world of mindless savages, as many want us to believe for glorifying the progress of capitalism and modernity.
I also love how the movie draws the absurdity of the brutal crimes happened by the hands of oppressors in the face of the vast universe.
Story of the Jemmy Button made a lot of sense to me as an immigrant and an Iranian. Jemmy Button lost his land, his freedom and his identity for some pearl buttons; when he returned to his land he was never able to be at peace with his new identity or his old ways of life again.
For a second I re-thought myself as the Jemmy Button of the modern era.
I felt that I was fooled by the shining pearl buttons which for me was the American Commercial Cinema, the Western false promises of corporate freedom, free market and the colorized advertisement of the American globalized consumerism and its ways of life. It seems that I and many like me are losing their sense of attachment with their ancestors and history. We are adapting this absurd but powerful consumerist identity that has no real value like the pearl buttons, but is very shiny.
A journey to Latin American identity.
Dynamic and fertile southern environments, and the most rugged terrain and desert; Chile is a country of majestic and impenetrable dualities.However the ambivalence, it ends and joins in a story, the story of a continent mirrored in a Patagonia fisherman. Like the shameless flow of a creek; like the noise of the woods it develops: from the first indigenous people, the learning about the benefits of water; then, a colonization, a change and oblivion. A river stops running but no one cares.
The great filmmaker Patricio Guzman proposes in “The pearl button” both a deep look and a break from Latin American history.
The deep look of natural environments, with a sublime photography, footage and effects team as unexpected as exceptional. The pause, asking questions everybody does -but silently-, in various creative forms; Is there a limit to cruelty? Why we look at stars? Can we be, contrary to what we have been, a great family?.
A documentary that, as the pearl button, transcend time.
Highly recommended.
