Excelent! By cinema critics is the foyndation for the modern videoclip, even it is a documental exposing the fight for civil rights for black people in the USA
@yosoyelvecino la diferencia es que en EUA es posibel mostrar este y cualquier documental sea progaandistico o no y es permitido la protesta de todo tipo me gustaria saber si otros regimenes resistirian un filme asi de agrio!..???
Hi! Do you know what kind of language he used in this? Is it associative or which one? I mean cinematography language. It's not abstractionism, but I can't decide which one it is.
Not knowing what your grandmother predicted, I can't say if it was fulfilled or not, but the song Alvarez chose to accompany these images was recorded two years earlier and otherwise has no connection to this film. My guess is the lyrics . . . written by Betty Comden and Adolph Green; both Jewish, neither Communist (in case that matters) . . . represented the primary intent of the piece; the melody was incidental.
By the way, Santiago Alvarez was a Socialist, not a Communist.
My grandmother was dreadfully anti-Semitic and anti-Communist. She always maintained that Jews and Communism/Socialism were inextricably tied. The song that Lena is singing in that cut-up is based on "Hava Nagila," a Jewish folk song. The melody, my grandmother would insist, is far from incidental.
I'm pretty sure she'd be wrong on that. I mean, it's hard to impute anti-semitism to a song when the man who wrote the melody for the introductory bit (Jule Styne) and both lyricists were Jewish. If anything having those lyrics set to 'Hava Nagilah' had more to do with Black/Jewish solidarity in the Civil Rights movement at the time the song was recorded (1963). Alvarez no doubt used it because . . . there just weren't a whole lot of other songs like it he could use.
I didn't say they were anti-Semitic. Of course they weren't; it's a Jewish song! I'm saying anti-Semites would see shades of conspiracy in this work, as they do so many places.
Santiago: Este es otro excelente video. Muy bueno y seguramente tu como Cubano has de conocer que los negros en Cuba; Afro-Cuba- experimentaron de alguna forma,la misma represion y opresion que los negros en EE.UU. no es tan solo importante saber y conocerlo, sino, evitar que cualquier otro grupo etnico, social o religiosos experimente segregacion, marginacion, o que carezca de drecehos basicos.
The melody of the recording Alvarez used is lifted from the old Jewish folk song 'Hava Nagilah'. I'm not sure why the songwriters (who were, all three of them, Jewish) chose it for those lyrics; but they did.
This is the kind of imagery that Lena's voice was made for. The urgency, the driving insistence. Gives me renewed respect for the lady. She's more than just a pretty face. Santiago's film is necessarily beautiful and eye-opening. Thanks for sharing this
This short film gives a hint of some of the complicated, violent, significant changes which kept coming at us in the 1960s.

I find it funny that Communist propaganda would choose a Jewish tune. Were they trying to prove my grandmother right?

"She always maintained that Jews and Communism/Socialism were inextricably tied."
Hitler also believed this.
