VHS Movie Reviews of La Boca Del Lobo [VHS]

Movie Review: We Have Met the Enemy and He Is Us!
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a classic character study of race,class and enthic groups in the setting of a Civil War ("Asymmetrical warfare"). While set in the mountains of Peru in the 1980's it could be anywhere today. The Enemy is never seen but is always but is always present. This could be used as the "what not to do" in the current world wide war on terror.

Movie Review: La decision de ser hombre
Summary: 5 Stars

La boca del lobo Francisco Lombardi, Peru, 1988

Lejos de la gran ciudad de Lima, llega a un poblado una patrulla militar antiterrorista y en ella un joven llamado Vitin Luna con la ilusi?n de hacer una gran carrera militar. Luna elige estar en un pueblo donde un grupo guerrillero, "Sendero Luminoso", tiene su centro de ataque que estar en la escuela militar; con el objetivo de tener un grado militar en poco tiempo. Su primer teniente es d?bil y termina por perder el control del peque?o poblado. Luna tiene otro teniente conocido como hombre de gran fuerza, y cuyo apellido es Roca, sin embargo hay algo extra?o en este teniente. Al llegar el teniente Roca declara que el poblado debe estar unido al Per? y no a los guerrilleros. Muestra su poder al declarar en la Plaza que todo aquel que d? ayuda a los guerrilleros es considerado un traidor de la patria peruana. Comienza el terror en la poblaci?n, Vitin Luna tiene que decidir entre ser parte del ej?rcito o ser parte del pueblo oprimido. Una decisi?n importante para mostrar su hombr?a.

Movie Review: In The Mouth Of The Wolf
Summary: 5 Stars

Although it's English title is The Lion's Den, the actual translation of La Boca Del Lobo is The Mouth Of The Wolf. This is the most authoritative film on the Shining Path faction which terrorized Peru from the late 70's through the early 90's. The film is made entirely on location in Peru and by Peruvians. It is well made for a third world production and the acting and cinematography are as good and professional as any great independent film. Not only does this film depict the horror of the war against Peru's Marxist guerrilas, but it catalogues their actions and emphasizes death tolls in the most unorthodox but effective way. Most of all, the film's sentiment is achieved in that it is told through the eyes of a young soldier with lofty ambitions. Yet when he sees what his very own men are doing to the natives, he falls back in terror and realizes, as does the audience, that nobody has his hands clean. Moreover, this film greatly bulrs the distinctions between the good guys and the bad guys. The fact the terrorists are unseen and only suggested, further enforces the idea that there is a thin line between right and wrong and it is usually a mere matter of conjecture as to whom is the more benevolent, The Shining Path or the Peruvian Army? The theme of this film reaches far beyond anti-terrorism, it's strongest voice lies in the notion that both sides are still killers, no matter what their cause.

La Boca Del Lobo is a "MUST-SEE" for Peruvians and non-Peruvians alike. For war film buffs and antiwar philosophers equally.
