What acts of revolution/ rebellion did you see in the Nostalgia of Light?
In your opinion, which act of preserving history was the most effective, and why?`
The revolution/rebellion I saw in Nostalgia of Light were the Arpilleras. The Arpilleras had a lot of symbolism that could explain their argument better than words could. The movie is an act of revolution/rebellion that does not include violence.They are trying to learn about the history and after the Pinochet regime, the government tried to erase all the history. Archaeology is a good way of preserving history. The one guy measured the measurements o the concentration camps and then drew them on paper and then tore them and memorized them. That way, when the government tried to make the concentration camps seem like they never existed, the guy blew their cover. The ground is so dry that it is very easy to pick things out of the ground. People are still trying to digging through the ground to find an artifact to show that their loved ones were there. People do this for closure. It is scary that the government is trying to hide this history by destroying the evidence.
