Review of No (2012) by Elizabeth M — 24 Apr 2013
No is an awesome movie based on an historical event. It's Chile 1988 military dictator Augusto Pinochet due to international pressure is forced to call a referendum on his presidency. The people will vote to either keep Pinochet in office or kick him out.
This chronicles the impossible task given to an ad man named Rene Saavedra played in the movie by Gael Garcia Bernal who gets the job of campaigning for the no side of the campaign and his team of people.
They come up with a plan to win the election and set Chile free. They decide to show happy things because they will make the people think of what the future will look like without Pinochet. This is an awesome experience at some points very funny and at some points openly intense.
In the end we may know what's going to happen because it gets kind of predictable but even with that in mind in the end we are moved by what would be the renewal of a country. This movie is at points funny, intense, and political.
But in the end you can't help but be moved. This is a moving experience.
