Editorial Reviews

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

5.0 out of 5 stars The truth of fiction/the lies of history, May 26, 2007

This review is from: Bolivar Soy Yo(Bolivar I Am) (DVD)

You m ust know a little bit about South American history to understnad this movie on a deep enough level to think it is great. From the on set history is changed in the filming of a telenovela in order to increase popularity. This happens all the time in the telling of history. The other part that I love is th esupport the crazy modern Bolivar character gets from the people because they still want a Gran Colombia. Hugo Chavez and his Bolivariano movement, is trying to achieve this same thing and he has quite a bit of support [not from the USA, of course]. This movie involves history and current events, not to mention how life and people are sometime just plain funny. It is worth the money and time to see.

The merit of the movie is not technical (a department in which you will notice some crapy work), and not even the script (that oversimplifies the psychology of the characters). What it is good about it is the story itself: a real life story of an actor going mad and people going along. This marvelous story reminded me Cervantes novel. I think they could have made (and did not) a master piece. The end result is very good though.
