I was only 12 when this film came out, but even then I sensed what a powerful presence this man was. As a middle aged woman who's seen the other side of 50, I am in mere awe of him and what he brought to this character. What a work of art.
"Firmly suppressed in the USA"?!? What a bizarre observation. It was one of the most widely-viewed and well-received movies of the year in the United States.
@Daniel Polivka - And you know that to be a fact, um - how, exactly? And where would one begin to research a nonsensical conspiracy theory? Something about - proving a negative? No, I’ll just leave you and your ilk to your hate-America musings. Enjoy.
Hey NAZI . I had a hard time just getting a DVD . I saw the reaction to the movie during the Oscars . People were afraid to clap for the movie in fear of pissing off The Grand Wizard of the USA Ronald Reagan . Remember that prick , NAZI ? Remember the time the goons he funded raped and killed those nuns in El Salvador ? Oliver Stone's SALVADOR was almost buried by The Hollywood System too . It's because of the Z Channel movie channel previewing of the movie on their channel that got SALVADOR nominated .
I have this superb movie on DVD and we with each viewing the more chilling and uneasy it is! Sissy Spacek and Jack Lemmon really meshed exceptionally well!
I was 21 years old when this came out and I went and saw it...Nowadays 21-year-olds wouldn't go near this kind of thing.... Mindsets were different back then when you went to the movies... They certainly don't make them like this anymore... I thought it was a fascinating story and I remember seeing it again with another friend...
While Jack Lemmon was a tremendous comedic actor, I do wish he did more serious roles. I know he had done a few, but I wish he would have done a few more. An underrated actor… when it comes to really acting.
I was living in Sao Paulo, Brazil when this film was released. It was during the last few years of military rule there, and initially the government was not going to allow the film shown because a reference was made to Brazilian military personnel supporting the coup. It was shown eventually, but as a progressive American, without close contacts with important U.S. officials, I felt vulnerable after watching this film.
Leftist Communism always breeds Right Fascism. Why it’s so dangerous as both are no system to live under. Look at history - fascism was in response to communism. 21st Century the dynamics still live on because we learn absolutely nothing.
Personally, I was moved by the 1982 motion picture, "Missing," and it also made me learn about American complicity in other countries under governments with reactionary right-wing views and positions leading to the deaths and destruction of mostly innocent people.
Robert Polanco Well, look at Iran in 1953. That coup led directly to the Islamic Revolution in 1979. Imagine how different the region might be had we not decided to overthrow a democratically elected government under Mohammed Mossadegh. Truman, who met Mossadegh at the White House, adamantly opposed any coup. But Truman left office in 1953, the year the coup was authorized by Eisenhower. The CIA actually trained SAVAK, the Shah’s secret Police.
@@johncronin9540 - Well, I totally agree with you on the Iran situation. After all, I learned about it from the Oliver Stone TV documentary series "The Untold History of the United States" and it was quite fascinating indeed. Thanks for your assessment, Mr. Cronin.
@@robertpolanco1973 you might be interested in the work of Stephen Kinzer, unless you have already checked him out. He has documented to overthrows US has done in his books.
This was such a great movie.the acting was splendid .It was unfortunately based on a cascade of brutal truths that americans have often found all too convenient and easy to ignore or dismiss with government propaganda.
There is no hard evidence of direct U.S. assistance to the coup, despite frequent allegations of such aid. Rather the United States - by its previous actions during Track II, its existing general posture of opposition to Allende, and the nature of its contacts with the Chilean military- probably gave the impression that it would not look with disfavor on a military coup.
Holden Fitzroy It wouldn’t have been the first. Iran in 1953, Guatemala in 1954. Those we KNOW happened, and Nixon was part of that Administration (Vice President). With Chile, there was the assassination of a top Chilean General who would have opposed a coup of a democratically elected government (like Iran in ‘53 and Guatemala in ‘54). Christopher Hitchens assembled quite a bit of evidence linking Kissinger to that. Our (US) history is full of US interference in Latin America, which we see as being our “sphere of influence”. From the War with Mexico, to troop landings in Haiti and the Dominican Republic, to the Panama Canal. And should we talk about Cuba? That island was coveted by the planter aristocracy in the South, even as late as the “existence” of the Confederacy. Look at how the US got Hawaii, which was an independent country. None of this has been driven by the ideals of the American version of the Enlightenment. Quite the opposite. We’ve overthrown democratic regimes and installed dictatorships. Everyone knows how Iran turned out. No coup in 1953, no Revolution in 1978-1979. Our involvement in Guatemala sparked a 30 year+ civil war there, and genocide against the native peoples of that nation in the 1980’s. All driven corporate policy and covetousness. Chile was the source for a lot of copper ore, used for copper wiring. At the very least, the US government (Nixon), was aware of what was about to happen, and there’s evidence of our involvement right in the Nixon tapes, which have gradually been released over time. The tapes related to Watergate were released by a court order. But other materials have been made public in the years since Nixon left office, and especially after his death in 1994. He wanted the Allende Administration to “go away”.
@@johncronin9540 - Well said, Mr. Cronin, well said. I commend people like you for presenting the historical facts about what happened with U.S. involvement and complicity in other countries' internal affairs. Thank you so much for that, sir.
@Scallamander On 4 September 1970, Dr. Salvador Allende Gossens received a plurality (36.3 percent) of votes in the Chilean presidential election. He was sworn into office two months later and then proceeded to drag Chile through 34 months of exquisite hell during which he and his associates: (1) drastically lowered food production leading to food rationing; (2) ended the rule of law in wide areas of the country; (3) increased inflation to over 300% per annum mainly through the printing of money; (4) perpetrated vote fraud in congressional elections; (5) shut down newspapers and television stations critical of his government; (6) attempted to convert public schools into organs of political indoctrination; (7) plotted to take over naval ships and assassinate naval officers; plus sundry other offenses against constitutional government. Having antagonized that part of Chilean society not in thrall to Marxism, Allende was overthrown on 11 September 1973 in a coup led by Army Commander-in-Chief General Augusto Pinochet Ugarte. There is no denying Kornbluh's basic thesis that the US government tried to prevent Allende from taking office after the election; opposed his regime during its years in office; welcomed the 1973 coup that ended the regime; and supported the military junta that followed. None of the foregoing justifies the much stronger claim of Kornbluh and other leftists that Henry Kissinger and the CIA were the INSTIGATORS of the 1973 coup nor of what followed. Allende's ouster was the understandable result of Chileans' own justifiable apprehensions for their future based on a long series of actions and decisions made by the Allende administration and its similarities with what had transpired previously in other Latin American countries like Juan Peron's Argentina. The Nixon Administration played at most an insignificant supporting role that did not alter the course of events in any material way. During the period of the Allende government and especially during the repressive years of the junta that followed the western liberal press conducted an orgy of whitewashing of the crimes of the Allende regime in which none of items (1) through (7) above, nor anything else negative about Allende, was aired. Rather, Allende's crimes were studiously ignored. Indeed the whitewashing continues unabated to this day. Allende's ouster was the understandable result of Chileans' own justifiable apprehensions for their future based on a long series of actions and decisions made by the Allende administration and its similarities with what had transpired previously in other Latin American countries like Juan Peron's Argentina. The Nixon Administration played at most an insignificant supporting role that did not alter the course of events in any material way. Expropriation of American corporate assets by the Allende government is a major theme in any history of this period. The most contentious of these by far was the "nationalization" of the copper mines of Kennecott and Anaconda. I put quotation marks around "nationalization" for a reason. The correct noun is "theft", owing to the fact that Allende took over these enterprises without compensating their owners. His predecessor, the Christian Democrat Eduardo Frei, had actually nationalized Anaconda's Chuquicamata mine in 1969 in a deal that the Nixon administration helped negotiate. The Chilean government issued bonds to reimburse Anaconda and received a 51 percent ownership in return. Countless leftist writers have expressed outrage over the fact that the CIA spent $8 million to "destabilize" the Allende regime without taking the time to realize that what the CIA was actually doing was defending freedom of the press. The largest part of the $8 million was allocated to subsidizing El Mercurio. Kornbluh and friends tirelessly inform us what a "vibrant democracy" Chile was in 1970, and they are correct. Most people, Chileans included, understand that a vibrant democracy requires an unfettered press. There was no unfettered press under Allende; there was the government-favored leftist press and there were right-wing press organs under siege because of a law passed during the Chilean "socialist republic" in 1932. The government of Colonel Ibañez del Campo had enacted a law allowing the government to take control of businesses deemed vital to the national welfare without specifying what criteria was meant by "vital." This law had never been repealed and had lain dormant for decades until revived in spectacular fashion by Allende. Under circumstances probably never envisioned by the people who had enacted the law, the Allende government seized one business after another, and once in control of them, it halted the businesses' flow of advertising revenue to El Mercurio and similar press organs. I have never read of the US government trying to stifle The New York Times or the British government trying to suppress The Guardian or the French government attempting to kill Le Monde by starving them of income from advertising but this is precisely what Allende was attempting to do to opposition press organs. Much has been written about the Allende regime trying to pave a peaceful democratic path to socialism. This is arguably the most pernicious lie of all those propagated about that regime. Allende attempted to merge the two legislative congressional chambers into a unicameral house in November 1971 (NY Times, 12 Nov 1971, "Allende Pushes 'People's Assembly' Plan and Talks with Castro"). This step had been taken in several eastern European countries during the 1940s as part of the Soviet campaign to consolidate political power into the hands of the communist parties and was regarded with understandable suspicion by the Christian Democrats and the political right. But worse was the introduction of large numbers of Cubans, hundreds at least and perhaps thousands, and many entering Chile illegally. These operatives set to work arming and training paramilitaries in several cities. In March 1972 an unscheduled flight of Cuban Airlines landed at Santiago airport from which thirteen crates of weapons were unloaded and then transferred to trucks without having passed through customs. This is hardly a sign of respect for constitutional government. The Cubans in Chile applied themselves night and day to subvert the constitutional system, as they have done elsewhere in Latin America, a fact which leftists have consistently ignored for almost 50 years.
unfortunately this is history. A friend of my father lost his daughter and her husband in Argentina in the 70. I was a kid at that time but I remember the sorrow of the parents. They finally got their grandchildren back in France. Noone knows what happened to the parents of those kids. The grandparents tried everything without any success. Those children, parents, are lost forever
Excellent movie, very engaging and scary that these Americans moved to Chile when it was peaceful and then turned in a nightmare while they were there. Jack Lemmon stole the movie and I have seen this movie several times. It's that good, this generation wouldn't get it and movies this good will not be made anymore because the millennials enjoy cartoons, not good true story and the actors today are one dimensional, not like the actors at that time. SMH!
It wasn´t peaceful, were did you get that? BNothing to eat , violence in the streets, 30.000 paramilitars from Cuba and other comunist countries, women getting raped when they resisted they farms to be taken by the "the people". We were at the brink of a civil war.
Yeah Chile was not peaceful during those times, Allende tried to intoduce something into the country to improve the economy but it ultimately failed, it led to famine and a lot of people losing their jobs. Though Allende was seen in a good light from the working class, he didn't solve anything and made things worse. Doesn't justify what happened in the country after America got involved, but the country was nowhere near peaceful. My family lived in Chile during the time so I kind of have a lot of different accounts as to what life was like.
That is not the point. The USA government protecting the interest of some powerful wealthy conglomerates help destroy a legitimate democracy and ignored, even covered up the atrocities by the illegitimate Pinochet a brutal dictator. Guess who was the president then: Nixon ultimately impeached for corruption. Ironic.
It's when Americans should pay close attention how Washington does their dirty business . Foreigners hate Americans stupidity on international politics .

Ayrıca, Z-Ölümsüz filmi ile gönlümde taht kuran Costa Gavras'ın bu yerini de pekiştiren bir film olmuştur.
the cornerstone of the Republic is justice, which was not delivered in this case but was hidden by the American government and those responsible for the death of the young man did not go to prison.
Transcripts of a phone conversation between Kissinger and Nixon reveal that they didn't have a hand in the final coup. They do take credit for creating the conditions that led to the coup. Kissinger says that "they created the conditions as great as possible."
“It is firm and continuing policy that Allende be overthrown by a coup. … It is imperative that these actions be implemented clandestinely and securely so that the USG [the U.S. government] and American hand be well hidden.” - CIA’s deputy director of plans in a secret memo 1970 (Democracy Now, September 10, 2013)
and supported the generals who carried it out. Its like walking towards someone swinging your arms around, with your eyes closed, and insisting you didn't mean to hit them.
Yes. There is always a response to leftist communism - typically Fascism. Both are no way to live no matter what each side claims. Marxism is very in vogue at the moment. 1917 Russia should have taught the world but it didn’t. 1938 Germany should have taught the world but it didn’t.

It’s not available on iTunes, neither on Prime or any other U.S. platforms.
But you can find it elsewhere.
I saw a re-release of "Carrie" a few months before I saw this-I kept waiting for Sissy to let some telekinesis loose on Pinochet's goons..
0:10- Yeah, yeah. "Protect the innocent," but we're covering out asses, too.
1:39- (As the horse) Ohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygod, I'm a long way from my stable!
The situation in Chile is not very different nowadays...
We need/want many many more first rate polítical films, esp based on true events throughout 20th, like ASAP Across all US & European theatres instead of the current boring useless garbage....
Good mediators and interveners. Art is good.

Coming soon to the USA. I knew it since I first saw this film.
Cannes Film Festivalinde Yılmaz Güney'in Yol filmi ile birlikte birincilik ödülünü aldıktan sonra seyretmiştim. Müthiş bir film olarak hafızama kazınan filmlerden. Sadece emperyalizme karşıtlığı değil faşizme karşıtlığı da çok iyi işlemiş bir film bence. Zaten her ikisi de kapitalist üretim ilişkilerinin türevi değil mi!.. Ayrıca, Z-Ölümsüz filmi ile gönlümde taht kuran Costa Gavras'ın bu yerini de pekiştiren bir film olmuştur.
A relevant movie for the Trump era

I saw this when it first came out. Sad thing it’s a true story the American government okedhis death he was reporting on the right wing government.
The film acuses the US goverment of crimes against humanity and it still was showed in the United States: that's democracy
that's cynicism
the cornerstone of the Republic is justice, which was not delivered in this case but was hidden by the American government and those responsible for the death of the young man did not go to prison.
Transcripts of a phone conversation between Kissinger and Nixon reveal that they didn't have a hand in the final coup. They do take credit for creating the conditions that led to the coup. Kissinger says that "they created the conditions as great as possible."
“It is firm and continuing policy that Allende be overthrown by a coup. … It is imperative that these actions be implemented clandestinely and securely so that the USG [the U.S. government] and American hand be well hidden.” - CIA’s deputy director of plans in a secret memo 1970 (Democracy Now, September 10, 2013)
@@perussaataja Democracy Now has a left wing bias that makes any thing they claim to be true dubious.
and supported the generals who carried it out. Its like walking towards someone swinging your arms around, with your eyes closed, and insisting you didn't mean to hit them.

The price of being a leftist.

Trump and his tards always
Yes. There is always a response to leftist communism - typically Fascism. Both are no way to live no matter what each side claims. Marxism is very in vogue at the moment. 1917 Russia should have taught the world but it didn’t. 1938 Germany should have taught the world but it didn’t.

١- قوة شخصية المواطن الأمريكي في العالم .
٢- الثورات دمرت أمريكا الجنوبية .
٣- هوس الإعلام يقتل أهله من مراسلين وغيرهم .
٤- وقت الفتن " أمسك لسانك ، وألزم بيتك ، وعليك بخويصة نفسك "
From President Reagan's Diary "Ran a movie called “Missing.” It is a pretty biased slam at Chile & our own government."
