Fuerza aérea sociedad anónima (2006)
A rare gem in Argentine's movies
This is absolutely the best documentary film ever made in Argentina, and it is not politically biased. Director Piñeyro is a pilot and a highly informed man. His greatest merit is that despite all the technical issues that arouse throughout the movie, he keeps matters crystal clear. This is not a negative film - although being an Argentine it shocks me the amount of corruption I saw -, there are proposals to correct things and to lead to solutions. Unlike others like journalist Lanata - who is always very comfortable criticizing without investigating - director Piñeyro is very well documented and he lived the problems he is storytelling. He had the courage to confront the corrupted military system live on TV many times. This film had forced Argentine's President to announce big changes in Aeronautics. I admit that we still don't know if those changes will be accomplished, but I have no doubt that men like Piñeyro won't let him easily elude his duties. ¡Bravo!
Deuda (2004)
Lanata did this film for the money, as he said in 'Almorzando con Mirtha Legrand' Argentine TV show in Sept. 2006
I'm Argentine and I'm writing from Argentina. I do not belong to any political party, neither I'm from the right, and I have a member from my family killed by the last military government 30 years ago. Anyway, some time ago I saw a photo of Lanata supposedly in Afghanistan near a tank wearing a black suit and a tie! That was on the front cover of his '23' Argentine magazine. He pretended to be a war correspondent, but he is a prejudiced man, and he always seeks answers in his leftist ideology instead of studying the facts and looking for the tracks. When the LAPA plane accident in Aeroparque -Buenos Aires-, he transmitted the plane crash live on TV, reporting minutes after the crash that it was the company's fault. He went hours with critics to the owners of the company, instead of waiting for an investigation. The fact that always remains is that he prefers to be every time against any capitalist system or company instead of searching the truth, which is a hard work to do. Lanata's got a huge ego. He does not care about the truth, he is a real fraud. About "Deuda" I will say on his behalf that there's a tradition in my country -and in many Latinamerican countries- that all disgraces are due to foreign countries, nothing is our fault. (Peron blamed the 'sinarquía international.' ¿What's that?) Most probably any moment from now Lanata will be making a movie about how the Twin Towers never existed!
