Zona Full Film

La zona ("The Zone") is a 2007 Mexican-Spanish co-production film by director Rodrigo Pl. The film describes a failed break-in attempt in a gated community and the consequences for the thieves and the residents.
La zona shows the divide in the Mexican society, and how the class system plays an important part in the success and happiness of these characters. The film raises questions about social and political aspects in Mexico.[citation needed]
The idea is that students learn to appreciate films as objects of serious academic study and, through these chosen works, learn about the socio-political, cultural and historical reality of Latin America. Above all, the hope is that they become critical and engaged viewers of film, rather than passive consumers.

Reflecting on my last film, American Visa, I noted that, although I had acquired a plethora of technical skills, my work lacked a distinctive personal style. This led to profound self-questioning. I walked into a film-making winter, and Zona Sur (Southern District) resulted from this awe-inspiring, creative quarantine. The film took form while traveling on a transatlantic cargo ship in late 2007. It was there, in my cabin, that I took endless notes, reading about spheres and bubbles. Zona Sur tells the story of its characters and the events that make up the inertia that leads naturally to the conclusion. No concessions were made to the need for an audience, to the film festivals, or to the establishment. Although it is not an autobiography, it is personal. As a society, we Bolivians need to look ourselves in the mirror.
Roadside Picnic was the novel that inspired the Russian film-maker Andrei Tarkovsky to make the film Stalker, released in 1979, which may spark a memory in some of you; alongside his earlier SF epic Solaris (adapted from the Stanislav Lem novel) is regarded as his best work.
Dyer goes on to analyse the film scene by scene, commenting on the dialogue, the cinematography, the images. But it is in the footnotes, some of which ramble across pages, that his wit and humour really come out. Dyer is quite opinionated:

La Zona is a gated community with barbed-wire topped walls surrounded by the slums of Mexico City. The wealthy people who live in La Zona's luxurious homes have their own security guards and an elaborate surveillance system. One night during a storm, the wind blows a billboard through one of the walls creating a chance for three poor kids to enter the community. While robbing a house, one of them kills the woman owner after she discovers them. He and another boy are shot and killed by the armed neighbors who also accidentally kill one of the community's security guards. When Rigoberto (Mario Zaragoza), a city cop arrives to investigate, Daniel (Daniel Gimnez Cacho) and other leaders in La Zona have dispatched the bodies and made it look like nothing has happened. But the determined police man, who feels he has been deceived by these wealthy people, decides to uncover the truth no matter what happens.
Daniel and the other leaders call a special community meeting when they learn that one of the thieves is still inside the walls; they vow to avenge their slain neighbor and start hunting for the fugitive. Daniel's teenage son Alejandro (Daniel Tovar) discovers Miguel (Alan Chvez) in the cellar and learns that he is innocent of any crime except robbery. He also realizes that his neighbors and classmates are serious about killing him.
Rodrigo Pl directs this hard-hitting and compelling Mexican film about class warfare, hatred, paranoia and revenge. He has said of the drama:
"La Zona is the story of an armed robbery and a manhunt, but above all, the story of a broken, divided society made up of two worlds that fear and hate each other. What can be done when the inefficiency and corruption of someone whose duty it is to deal out justice leave us unprotected? What can be done in a world where a minority is shamelessly wealthy and the majority desperately poor? What can be done about the terror of a person who isolates himself behind a wall and about the bitter frustration of the person who lives on the other side? La Zona sets out to issue a warning about the shape of things to come, to alert the audience to a way of life that is dawning ever closer."
The top-notch and gripping screenplay by Laura Santullo conveys the tensions that result when separation and paranoia animate people's actions. In this worldview, the stranger is a dangerous person and not to be trusted. Guns rather than understanding are the means to deal with problems. The walls which have been erected to make people feel safe actually imprison them. Dissenters within the community are treated as possible traitors to the solidarity of the group.
Alejandro's eyes are opened as he begins to see the dire consequences of what his father and his neighbors are doing in their pursuit of vigilante justice. The explosive finale of La Zona graphically depicts the shadow dimensions of class warfare as it is playing out around the world as the poor are give the shaft in order to protect the privileges of the rich and the powerful.
Who are we, if not a combination of experiences, information, books we have read, things imagined? Each life is an encyclopaedia, a library, an inventory of objects, a series of styles, and everything can be constantly reshuffled and reordered in every conceivable way.
Stalker is a film about a journey to a room undertaken by three men. Possibly searching for the meaning of life. Stalker guides the other two men through the Zone towards the room, circling, weaving, never approaching the chosen destination directly. The room may be the place where their deepest desires are fulfilled. Or it may be that it is the journey itself which is the key.
Once the trio have evaded the security guards and entered the Zone, they edge towards the Room following a circuitous route insisted upon by Stalker. As they proceed there is much acrimonious debate. Professor has rational views on every issue and enormous doubts about the mystery surrounding the Zone and the Room, while Writer is world-weary and cynical, sceptical about his profession as a writer; he is convinced that he will fail and nobody will read his books.
Dyer tells us that at one stage he had intended breaking the book into 142 sections, each corresponding to the 142 shots of the film. But then, as he became engrossed and re-engrossed in the film, he kept losing track:
Especially since there are few things I hate more than when someone, in an attempt to persuade me to see a film, starts summarizing it, explaining the plot, thereby destroying any chance of my ever going to see it.
Tarkovsky was notoriously averse to discussing his films and any meaning which they might have. But in his memoir Sculpting in Time he did reveal something of what inspired him to make his extraordinary films:
In this film I wanted to mark out that essentially human thing that cannot be dissolved or broken down, that forms like a crystal in the soul of each of us and constitutes its great worth. And even though outwardly their journey seems to end in fiasco, in fact each of the protagonists acquires something of inestimable value: faith. He becomes aware in himself of what is most important of all; and that most important thing is alive in every person.
