Missing (part1)

[AmolaTerra]

excellent quality and an excellent film.

[Alexia8099]

Hail! Pinochet!

[Jacupuncture]

@Alexia8099 Silly little troll, the world is a serious place and one day you (will hopefully) learn that important lesson.

[lemaxmas]

Great film tragic story about a family and a wonderful nation. I hope that after all these years, somehow the wounds of the first 9/11 are healed.

[MarcoAntonio311264]

Chile has changed much since then!

[oevega200]

It is tragic that a crime commited against my country, Chile, at a 9-11 was payed by the U.S. at another 9-11.

[PunkysDilema1970]

. . . if you read the comments posted on ''Yahoo" on any given day, you would believe that the typical american is a despicable scumbag. . . one who worships greed and has no human decency. . .

[TheSkylur44]

This movie inspired me never to visit any country in South America, this is a horror story, I cannot imagine his terror and that of his frined. Horrible Godless place.

[Piojoak]

@TheSkylur44

Thankfully, the situation is totally different now. I'm Chilean and I`ve never felt the repression. For me this movie was shoking as well. It is hard to believe that this occurred in my country, in my city!

Regards

[TheSkylur44]

@Piojoak No offense, but this movie shook me to the core, a true life horror story. As I watched it I felt such grief as though I was actually there, I cannot imagine anything worse than being abducted and taken to some place and knowing you have no appeals no friends no recourse and no justice or laws to speak of; thank God it has changed and I'm so glad for you and your fellow Chileans.

Regards and peace to you!

[gene15644b]

"Progressives" hate Pinochet for his "violence". They excuse Pol Pot, Castro, Mao and Lenin, all of whom killed far more people than Pinochet because they're "socialist".

They imagine that Pinochet would kill them. As if Mao, Lenin, Castro or Pol Pot would have spared their lives? Pol Pot killed people who wore glasses!! Lenin referred to "intelligentsia as not the nation's brains but its shit!".

The Cold War was ugly. Let's hope it never returns.

[cirvine11]

@gene15644b The Cold War was ugly. However, this movie does not deal with the wisdom of his politics. This is about the extrajudicial thuggery and murder of the disgusting Pinochet regime. I'm a proud former US Marine and can say... we should never have been involved with Pinochet at any level. The solution was worse than the problem.

[libertyforever76]

Ronald Reagan was the best president since Calvin Coolidge.

[bapyou]

@libertyforever76 "Ronald Reagan was the best president since Calvin Coolidge."

Ronald Reagan is responsible for the murder of 100s of 1000s of Central Americans, including children, women, the elderly, and religious people. His administration attacked working people and began the decline of America's middle class.

But, of course, as Reagan and his fascist buddies did all of these things . . . they waved the flag, which is all that was required for idiots to support them.

[gene15644b]

@bapyou The "Decline of the Middle Class" began in the early 1970s after the collapse of the Bretton Woods agreement. Inflation in the early 1970s did more to hurt the middle class than anything that Reagan ever did or could do.

The struggles in Central America were a side arena of the "Cold War". Younger generations do not remember those times or how much many of us feared the USSR. Today it's a different world. Thank God.

[bapyou]

@gene15644b "Younger generations do not remember those times or how much many of us feared the USSR."

Excuse me, assfucker: I am older than you. I never feared the Soviet Union. But I loathed every motherfucking thing that Ronald Reagan ever stood for. And I will tell any motherfuckcer on this planet the same motherfucking thing until the day I motherfucking pass from this motherfucking Earth. You got me motherfucker? I fucking loath you. Got it? Got it?

If not, I'll fucking give it you.

[bapyou]

@gene15644b Why'd you remove your comment Gene? You asked "What would you know about working people?"

#1. As a college instructor, I am part of a union. (And, believe me, I do not make a lot of money.) Further, I worked as a concrete mason and numerous other jobs when I was younger. #3. My parents met one another in a factory. So what would you like to know about working people?

"The American consumer destroyed Organized Labor"

What kind of fantastic bullshit is that? You need a head check.

[gene15644b]

@bapyou You're an Academic and an Artist. If you valued being working class you'd work, not teach.

I work in a factory. I work for an hourly wage. In the past I scrubbed toilets, flipped burgers, worked on an assembly line. I do electronics today.

I'm not in a Union. Unions weren't a racket in the past. Today they're Big Business.

The American consumer won't pay for Union benefits or featherbedding. Consumers want Value not Class Struggle. Unions need to give value, not "struggle".

[bapyou]

@gene15644b Excuse me: I also work for an hourly wage. Unlike what some right wing dopes propagate about academia, not everyone in the game has it easy. You probably earn more than I do. Financially I am a member of the working class.

Your analysis of labor is so wrongheaded it's laughable. Reagan removed restrictions on business operations. The head of the Dept of Labor under Reagan came from one of the biggest anti-labor law firms in the country.

500 characters = not enough space.

[gene15644b]

@bapyou I am related to college profs. Some work hard. Some are flakes. None are paid by the hour. None are "working class". Sympathize yes, but not be amongst 'em.

No company can afford to carry multiple retirees on guaranteed benefit pensions with COLAs and gold plated health insurance. US Steel is carrying six retirees per active worker. GM was carrying five. Unions forgot who they serve. Card Check is proof of that.

[gene15644b]

@bapyou Unions used to offer people things - freedom from Bosses who abused them and their families, work place safety, apprenticeships, & career growth.

Unions could survive if they served their members. Modern business takes skill and value from working people by dumbing down work.. Unions must serve workers and entice employers by giving added value to the membership. Apprenticeships and quality training for members.

The modern struggle is to seize value, not justice.

[spiritedemma]

great film...the best is the UK version which incl. more military scenes...USA version has censored a part...for our safety of course.

[saffdoggy]

u shold watch innocent voices

[bapyou]

@something9313 You fucking grow up, you fucking fascist fuck: Ronald Reagan -- the love child of right-wing fucks the world over -- supported & funded the murder of 100s of 1000s of Central Americans in the 1980s.

You grow the fuck up, you fucking scum. You grow the fuck up. Fucking scum. Right-wingers are the fucking scum of the fucking Earth, supporting dictators & fascists the world over, as long as they suck the cocks of American business.

You are fucking scum. Scum fucking scum.

[24zingo]

@bapyou I support anybody who is against blacks..............

[bapyou]

@24zingo . . . meaning what?

[24zingo]

@bapyou ...I hate c**ns...............

[bapyou]

@24zingo And? So what.

[bapyou]

@something9313 Not so, my friend. Not so.

[tommerrigan1956]

Forgive you enemies

[antonietto1]

love this movie and Lemmon's performance was so great and unforgettable...

[Moralvorstellung]

Pinochet was a courageous man who boldly kept his country out of the hands of communism. Most Chilean citizens that know better, thank him for it.

[makokun9]

@Moralvorstellung Most of those "people" are shit-eating intolerant putochetistas, who still live in the Cold War inside their heads... and you are not that far behind.

[karasuma4jo]

@makokun9

I agree with you.

[bapyou]

@Moralvorstellung "Most Chilean citizens that know better, thank him for it."

That's a fucking lie. A minority were Pinochet supporters; and all of them were wealthy.

I suppose Pinochet was forced out of power because everyone loved him so much.

Everywhere right-wingers paint rosy pictures of the past to cover up the atrocities: Batista, Pinochet, Stroessner, Somoza, Reagan: All murdering scum loved by the right-wing fascists.

Take a look at the poverty in Santiago today.

[SpartanMyrmidon1996]

@Moralvorstellung so torturing 88 children younger than 12 is "courageous"?killing 27,000 people is "brave"?read our history first fucker.

[ehta01]

I am an American who grew up in Chile and was in university when this happened. I had to leave the theatre when this came out. Finding this on YouTube simply blew me away. I always laid low in 9/11, so when 2001 came around I can't say I was terribly surprised. I don't hate the USA but I certainly don't trust our gov't. Look at Nicaragua and El Salvador - Chile was just practice.

[Scifimaster92]

Just one question, trauld - is it okay if I use some of the footage from this film for a video that I am working on?

[JessieKang]

Thank you for sharing this film!

[NordishTerror]

God bless Pinochet! Communism is a cancer!

[Propertius]

God curse Pinochet! Allende wasn't a communist...

[guillermoatilano]

@NordishTerror Have you actually watched this movie? Do you even realize the murders and terror Pinochet's governement brought? How can you condemn a political ideology that you consider violent, while at the same time accepting murder and violence as if it was a natural thing? Think.

[Chevalier765]

Great movie

[septip123]

jack could do it all. Comedy, serious drama, schtick. Great actor.

[costaarno]

I hate USA!

[iown813]

left wing pigs

[bapyou]

@iown813

Right-wing are the true pigs in every society that's ever existed: Mussolini, Hitler, Somoza, Pinochet , D'Aubuisson, Duvalier ... the list is endless.

The right-wing are the scum of the Earth.

[iown813]

@bapyou Left-wing leaders have killed far more, ie; Stalin and Mao

[bapyou]

@iown813 "Left-wing leaders have killed far more, ie; Stalin and Mao"

You call Stalin "left-wing." Anyone who has studied the period knows that Stalin sent his former comrades to the gulags. Trotsky wrote the book "The Revolution Betrayed" about what had happened to these so-called "leftists." And Stalin murdered Trotsky. Further, many American right-wingers loved old Joe cause he cracked down on those damn revolutionaries creating a new ruling class in the process. Capitalism = murder.

[BrickLaneBetty]

rot in hell Pinoshit

[Ionisus]

such a great movie!!

[annie46664]

One of my favourite films of all times ~ despite having been one of the saddest & most moving too!

EXCELLENT ~ I highly recommend viewing this film.

South Africa for TRUTH!

[RideMyBMW]

Vangelis must have scored this soon after doing Blade Runner. You can hear the similarities...

[RideMyBMW]

Allendo n Pinoche , a real fugly two headed monster that fu%$ed up them beaners down south. Beaners should just enact our Constitution verbatim. Help em straighten up their shit.

Ya can`t beat the spirit of `76 I sez.

[clauderoubillie]

say what you want, this is just a log on a server

[Malaka57]

P.S. Read some Bertrand Russell.

[89AEF]

thanks for posting :)

[Malaka57]

The USA lost its moral compass entirely supporting dictators around the world. We could have ended the cold war much earlier, but wanted the Them and Us system to remain firmly in place. Castro? He wanted to dump Battista, which was not a bad thing, but we did not want him, so he chose the other protector of the time, the USSR. That is essentially what happened. Our fault. We, ther US, were the ones with the power, and we used it badly.

[RobGoth100]

Castro executing more people in his first two years in power than Hitler did in his first seven years in power may have had something to do with it. Castro nearly sparked a full scale nuclear war as well and that is just mentioning a couple of his atorcities.

[Malaka57]

First that's an exaggeration, and a lie, and a a typical one. But I don't get into measuring penises. For me any dictator is a fuckwit, so I don't say"This guy is better than that guy because he killed so many less". That is moral equivocation of the basest sort. Fact is: Our foreign policy has been retarded, and no amount of measuring the corpse piles of Stalin, Hitler, Mao, or all those dictators we supported is going to change that. Purity is the criterion for the moral high ground.

[RobGoth100]

Our foreign policy fought Stalin, Hitler, Mao dipshit no thanks to blind ingrates like yourself.

[amet1980]

americans should really stop ridiculling themselves internationally, with statements like that,especially taking in mind their record..

[RideMyBMW]

"We could have ended the cold war much earlier" - Malaka

Well, Gen. Patton wanted to push all the way into Moscow from Berlin and behead the Soviet regime in `45. That certainly woulda nipped the Cold War in the bud...

[Malaka57]

You must be kidding, of course. First of all, the human cost would have been horrendous. Second, we had enough trouble against bits and pieces of the exhausted Wehrmacht, the Red Army would have crushed us right there and then. Patton was an imbecile.

[Malaka57]

I've noticed that whenever the right wing lunatic fringers and tin-foil crowd doesn't like something -- which is really often, since they have a chip on both shoulders -- they inevitably call it "Marxist". Which must be one of the dumbest and most uninformed comments ever.

[RobGoth100]

I notice that when Marxists get a taste of their own medicine, the sniveling never ends. Pinochet is gone but Castro is still there.

[FilmTraum9c]

Thank you so much for this film!Thanks for sharing!

[koogbasschi]

Thank you for posting this movie.

[agamemnon67]

Remember Victor Jara, as we remember everyone that deals sorrow tomorrow. The first 9/11

[montrealguy71]

I watch this, the true story of my homeland's destruction at the hands of the US government, and my views are as strong as ever: death to american imperialists, as punishment for all the death they caused, such as in Chile. If you sympathize, you have a heart. If you disagree, you must be a rich american imperialist who also deserves death.

[dorsaiofdorsai]

Of course as an American I sympathize. But don't hate Americans for what our government does. Do you think that every American wanted this to happen? No! Don't categorize us as one giant imperialist society.

[montrealguy71]

Of course it's not directed toward American citizens, like yourself. My anger is directed toward people like Nixon and Kissinger, and all those who have followed since who continued the imperialist ways of the US government.

[RobGoth100]

Any anger at Marxists in the Soviet Union and Cuba who encouraged a Stalinist like Allende to begin a creeping dictatorship. Pinochet stepped down and left Chile in better shape than how he found it. Castro never stepped down. any anger for him? I thought not.

[montrealguy71]

It was only in better shape for all the members of the hard right who came out of it with very deep pockets while the rest of the country wasted away in poverty...of course, you never thin of those since those who favor Pinochet always sympathize with the "suffering" rich people. Innocent and poor people died needlessly because of Pinochet. Answer: Pinochet is evil! Nuff said.

[RobGoth100]

Pinochet is evil. That's original. I say Allende was just as evil if not more so because he..like Castro would never give up power. Pinochet did.

[amet1980]

Your historical revisionism has no limits nor shame..pax americana has been as worse as stalinism, maoism, english imperialism and nazism...

over the 50 years of its course managed to drive to their deaths 30 million people and been responcible for the deaths of further 100 millionsfrom famine deaseses etc in the regions it had destabilize...

evils like that is only natural to fade away from the global scene,no matter what history washings its apologists attempt..

[RideMyBMW]

pax americana has been as worse as stalinism, maoism, english imperialism and nazism - amet

STFU you al-kayda lovin raghead!!! We nailed all challengers to the wall fair n square (from King George III to Hitler n the Commies and now the ragheads). God bless the US you 3rd world faggets!!!

[walaa925]

LOOOOOL!!!

[amet1980]

allende was a stalinist only in your sick mind..again and again was voted as the greatest chilian from chilian public as the chilean center rigth disgard the last remnants of pinochet legacy or refferences..

... and those are the only views that really count..

[BrickLaneBetty]

haha "allende was a "stalinist" haha ignore those sick f*cks at least you know you have a pulse.

[tpjl25]

But doraiofdorsai:

It matters little what American when every administration from Lincoln since takes whatever they want.

You time is up gringo.

[Trudeau790]

@dorsaiofdorsai True. But Americans have a responsibility to protest en masse when this happens. And we don't.

[Trudeau790]

@dorsaiofdorsai True. But Americans have a responsibility to protest en masse when this happens. And we just don't do that.

[auroradawn23]

This was such a chilling movie. Simple, honest, not over-acted or melodramatic. More Americans should watch this film -- riveting drama and a good history lesson of sorts. Jack Lemmon and Sissy Spacek were both incredible in this film.

[defyingGravity87]

awesome movie. I was seriously glued to this when I first saw it. Sissy spacek is my favoeite actress. She should have won the oscar for this film.
