slayers the motion picture , also known as slayers perfect ( or slayers the movie : perfect edition ) and originally released in japan simply as slayers ( スレイヤーズ ) , is a 1995 film written by kazuo yamazaki , based on an original story by hajime kanzaka , and directed by yamazaki and hiroshi watanabe .
the many different villains featured in the slayers motion picture are some of the best things about the slayers franchise , as each movie has its own unique group of baddies . some films have more , some less , but each is just as fun and enjoyable as the last bunch .
slayers – the motion picture , also known as slayers perfect and originally released in japan simply as slayers ( スレイヤーズ ) , is a 1995 japanese comic fantasy adventure anime film written by kazuo yamazaki based on an original story by hajime kanzaka , and directed by yamazaki and hiroshi watanabe . the movie was the first film in the slayers saga and was well received by critics .
i encourage all those who are reading who have even a passing interest in what you’ve just read , to please check out the slayers motion picture , it honestly does deserve your attention and admiration as one of the far better examples of anime feature films from the 1990s .
i’m watching slayers the motion picture and i am getting flooded with all kinds of nostalgia . this was one of the very first anime movies i ever saw . it captivated me and influenced me so much as a kid . its been about eight years since i last saw this movie .
even if you ' ve never seen the other parts of the series , give slayers : the motion picture a try because it is a self - contained story with some of the most side - splitting scenes you ' ll see in anime . anyone for seeing nagah ' s disperspectived dragon going on a rampage again ?
slayers : the motion picture ( japanese : 劇場版スレイヤーズ romaji : gekijōban sureiyāzu , gekijōban meaning
movie version
; often known by fans as slayers perfect ) is the first film in the slayers franchise . it follows the adventures of lina inverse and naga the serpent to stop the evil mazoku joyrock by traveling back in time to save a colony of elves with the help of an old sage , rowdy gabriev , who is actually one of gourry gabriev ' s ancestors .
for @ glittercanblog ! for their follower picture glitter asked for lina inverse , lead character of the amazing slayers anime series . i admit my knowledge of slayers is limited to the original series and the ‘motion picture’ , but lina is such a wonderful , energetic female lead . it’s strange she doesn’t get mentioned much when people talk about strong female leads in tv shows . lina’s magical ability was off the charts and she was determined to get what she wanted out of life . nice gal : d
breaking off from the 1995 television series , slayers the motion picture— also known as slayers perfect , and directed hiroshi watanabe — takes a different turn by following the events of the young hot - headed sorceress , lina inverse , before she ever met gourry , amelia , or zelgadis . taking stories from the alternative slayers book series , lina inverse instead meets up with an old acquaintance named naga the white serpent , who claims to be both lina’s rival and her traveling partner . and the two set off on a mutual journey to discover the secrets of the island known as mipross : the ancient home of the elves .
at last , a slayers movie ! of course , it ' s based on the oav series and not the tv series , so there isn ' t any gourry , amelia , or zelgadis to be found , but still . . . a slayers movie ! these were the thoughts that went through my mind as i eagerly put the tape into the vcr . and for once , my expectations were met - - slayers : the motion picture offers all of the knee - slapping antics that the tv series had to offer , but with theatrical - quality art and animation .
slayers text , vol . 1 : the ruby eye ( paperback )
in all , slayers : the motion picture is a self - contained story built of the same elements as the series . if you ' re not already familiar with slayers , this isn ' t all that bad a place to start , and although the mix of weirdness and relatively serious fantasy isn ' t for everybody , it ' s quality entertainment if you ' re in the right mood . slayers fans , on the other hand , will find everything they ' ve come to love in a somewhat more attractive package and sans most of the backup characters .
the original soundtrack slayers special : the motion picture
s
was released in japan by starchild records on july 24 , 1997 . it is a collection of takayuki hattori ' s background music ( bgm ) from slayers special that was later also used for the second ova series , slayers excellent . besides these , it contains the full versions of the opening themes ( opening ) and closing ( ending ) as well as a special version of the opening theme . the vocal songs including the ending theme
kagirinai yokubou no naka ni
were performed by megumi hayashibara . they were later included in the cd collection the best of slayers vol . 2 ( from ova , movie & game ) .
there is nothing better than a quick , by the numbers show to review . slayers : the motion picture is just such a film . devoid of any real depth , slayers : tmp is still a charming , entertaining romp that will leave anime fans who crave substance disappointed but win the hearts of those who are just looking for a good time . it should especially appeal to those who like their d & d done up with a dash of humor .
two of them are the color variations , as shown in the last picture . they were imported from japan , left in storage for many years , and arein excellent condition .
to now go back to talking about megumi for just a moment . miss hayashibara’s entry for the ending theme song to the slayers motion picture is entitled , “midnight blue , ” a much darker chocolate track compared to the milk chocolate tracks that you’ll hear in slayers return and slayers great : if you get my meaning . there’s more grit and a more “weird” angle with this song . i also find it a bit more rough , perhaps a slight bit more dated sounding with the particular synth sounds utilized in its answer section of the sort of question ( lyric ) answer ( synth riff ) sections of the chorus .
as you might have guessed by the title , slayers : the motion picture is by no means the first product in the slayers franchise . but unlike other anime movies , this is not a summary of a longer series or a sequel relying on previous events . it has no influence on the rest of the series , nor does the rest of the series influence it in any meaningful way , and its place in the timeline is mostly indeterminate . ( various websites assure me it’s a prequel , but there is nothing in the film to indicate that . ) therefore , it makes as good an entry point as any to the series .
a soundtrack cd for slayers : the motion picture was released in japan by king records in 1995 and in north america by a . d . vision ( adv music ) in 2003 . the film ' s theme song
midnight blue
was released as a single cd ( kida - 108 ) by starchild records on july 21 , 1995 and included in megumi hayashibara ' s 1996 album bertemu . the songs were also later included in the cd collection the best of slayers vol . 2 ( from ova , movie & game ) .
this is the first of five slayers theatrical movies , and the only one without a subtitle ; the other four are ( in order ) : return , great , gorgeous , and premium . it hit theaters while the original slayers tv series was still running , and in the slayers timeline is a prequel to that series .

a series of five slayers role - playing video games were released exclusively in japan between 1994 and 1998 for different platforms . there are two different 16 - bit games released in 1994 and titled simply slayers ( including one for the super famicom ) , followed by three 32 - bit console games : 1997 ' s slayers royal , and 1998 ' s slayers royal 2 and slayers wonderful . in addition , some slayers characters are featured in 2012 ' s heroes fantasia [ 47 ] and in the doujin game magical battle arena .
i talked at length about the brilliant and atmospheric songs written by megumi hayashibara for the ending themes of the slayers films and ovas , as well as the tv series . but i may not have talked much , if at all , about the orchestral composer for the slayers films .
this is the amazing true story of buffy and the friends , vampires , slayers , and demons who changed television forever .
i wouldn’t call the slayers motion picture a masterpiece , though if i was just a little more into it , i actually think i could call it a masterpiece , as it far exceeds the boring and overused clichés , lifeless and unappealing characters , and uninteresting settings of escaflowne the movie , vampire hunter d : bloodlust , lupin the 3 rd : the columbus files , and perhaps even cowboy bebop : knocking on heaven’s door . but that last one is very debatable , i just don’t tend to like it very much .

slayers : the motion picture was produced by j . c . staff in co - production with kadokawa bunko . unlike the later films in the series , this one was not directly written by the sayers creator hajime kanzaka . the movie makes a passing reference to manga / anime dragon half : at one point in the film , naga encounters a group of slime - halves and tells them to go play with some dragon - halves ; there are apparent similarities between naga and princess vina ( who is a slime - half in the dragon half manga ) and between lina and mink ( the eponymous dragon - half ) .

it ' s not a ploy to get you to double - dip on a classic anime title . ok , maybe it is , but when adv gives one of its titles essential anime status , they do it for a reason . slayers : the motion picture is a great title from a well - loved franchise . if you already have the 2000 version , you could probably do without the new one , even with a more accurate translation . if you don ' t have this title , then it is most definitely recommended .

there isn’t much more you need to know beyond that . slayers has plenty of humour , magic , action , modern references , and fun characters to keep you entertained throughout . yes , the plot is typical for a morning cartoon , but the humour elevates slayers above the rest .
recommendation : watch it , even with the mid overall quality . the humour in slayers is enough to warrant a viewing . don’t feel intimidated by the length of the numerous sequels , for the first season has enough to satisfy .
on whom was jiras based ? jiras was not modeled after starfox or any other character . his appearance was modeled after takashi watanabe ' s cat , holly ( even though jiras isn ' t a cat ; he ' s a red fox ) . there is a picture of holly on the studio nekonanban slayers try memorial website . click here , and scroll to the bottom of the page .
fox kids won the rights to broadcast slayers but eventually did not air the anime since it would be too heavy to edit it for content . the first north american television broadcast of the slayers was february 17 , 2002 on the international channel . [ 31 ] in 2009 , mvm films began releasing the series in the united kingdom on a monthly basis . the first series was released on four dvds between january 5 , and april 6 , 2009 . the first volume of slayers next was released on may 11 , 2009 .

what ' s the fourth series of slayers about ? for the last time - there is no fourth series ! a couple of years after try ended , takashi watanabe , the director , issued a statement that he was happy to see so many slayers fans after its end , and that he hoped to either make a new series of slayers or lost universe . however , this never happened . in fact , chances were better for a new lost universe than a new slayers - the second lost universe was in the planning process , but was frozen because of insufficient funding .
slayers creator hajime kanzaka has originally created the characters of lina and luna ( lina ' s unseen sister in slayers ) as the heroines of his science fiction story back when he was in high school . [ 2 ] while creating her visual design , slayers illustrator and visual designer rui araizumi was inspired when he by chance came upon a vintage film with the actress audrey hepburn on tv . [ 3 ] [ 4 ]
now if you have not read through my introductory post on the overall franchise of the slayers ( “the slayers franchise” > > > ) , i suggest that you go do so : as it lays the ground work for all further discussions into the world of the movies and tv series . i cover the universe , the show’s deity system , how magic , monsters , and demons function , the characters , the humor , and the music . all of which is necessary in order to go into each specific film and ova without repeating information .
lina has a petite body type and is 147 cm ( 4 feet 10 inches ) tall ; her headands cover a mole on her forehead . [ 3 ] despite her supposed to be having a very flat chest , so much she can be confused for a boy , lina is often depicted by araizumi with larger breasts due to his personal preferences , [ 3 ] which would be then carried over to much of other media too . lina ' s appearance whilst wearing her homeland ' s folk clothing in the film slayers : the motion picture is a nod to ranma saotome , the titular character from ranma 1 / 2 , who too ( like lina ) is voiced by megumi hayashibara in japanese .

slayers anthology was released to mark the 25th anniversary of slayers novels in january 2015 . it is a compilation of six stories , one of which was written by kanzaka and five by fan writers . it is illustrated with previously unpublished pictures by araizumi and contributing artists . [ 11 ]
a fourth anime series , slayers revolution , premiered in japan on july 2 , 2008 . [ 22 ] megumi hayashibara , the voice actress for main character lina inverse , performed both the opening and ending theme songs . [ 23 ] the new plot is told across two 13 - episode arcs and follows an original storyline that has subplots based on events in the novels , with series director takashi watanabe and production studio j . c . staff reprising their duties from the three original tv series . [ 24 ] a fifth slayers series titled slayers evolution - r is the second 13 - episode arc of slayers revolution and was aired on at - x starting on january 12 , 2009 in japan . [ 25 ]

the series was adapted into an add - on for the japanese role - playing game magius ( slayers magius rpg ) .

in the slayers tv series , gourry and lina are both the subject of an attempt at cloning , which spawns a number of miniature , super deformed versions of them both . the clones fight to humorous effect , and after the mini linas win , they all disintegrate .
god get that stupid us thinking out of your head that things produced later are automatically sequels . the graph is as correct as it is . there are basically 2 arcs in slayers . the lina + nagi one and the lina + others one . the movies ( besides premium ) + ova are the nagi bit the rest is the other bit timeline wise the nagi bit is the past of lina hence it ' s omg prequel .
i don’t think naga really contributes as much to the motion picture as she does to each of the later entries . her dialogue is far more sparse here , and her involvement in the plot is almost non - existent , as lina is singled out half - way through the film to be the chosen - one ( of sorts ) who will set things right by traveling back in time to kill joyrock , and thus return things back to the way they were supposed to be . and what’s more , when lina finally does travel back in time through a time - vortex , naga flies along with her , but then gets separated in the void , and doesn’t return until lina has finished her job and starts to fly back through the portal to the present . so essentially , naga is arbitrarily exempt from the story for about 10 minutes near movie’s end just because the writers couldn’t come up with something important for her to do .
lina is also the main protagonists through the entire official series of the uncanonical slayers role - playing video games from the 1990 , and further appears as a player character or an avatar option in the role - playing video game heroes phantasia , [ 19 ] with naga in the action video game magical battle arena , [ 20 ] with gourry in la tale , [ 21 ] and with both naga and gourry in the role - playing video game granblue fantasy . [ 22 ] the audio drama slayers kita kaette ex # 4 , which provides a closure to the entire slayers saga , features the retired lina and naga , both now elderly in their eighties ( with almost all other characters already deceased ) and vacationing together while still quarrelling and fighting each other .

the character depicted is lina inverse . this is from the very beginning of the first episode of slayers try , with lina waking up at her inn and stretching . this is a very rare and unusual shot of lina not wearing her regular sorceress outfit .
each special ova was released on the vhs and laserdisc between july 25 , 1996 , and may 25 , 1997 , before being released together on the dvd in 2000 . after that , both ova series were released , along with the five slayers , in a dvd pack in 2006 . in 2010 , the two series were released again on the dvd in the

collection .
they also did this with her much earlier , when lina spends a good amount of time in the movie dreaming and getting visions of the old man roudy gabriev ( who’s actually gourrey’s uncle i believe ) , who sends lina on this quest to kill joyrock in the first place . now normally you wouldn’t be able to bring lina and naga together during these scenes without them taking place when lina is awake : as i’m sure naga would have the skills to bring herself inside lina’s visions and see what she is seeing . although what’s funny is that it is clearly shown ( once again in the slayers special ) that lina and naga can communicate with each other by thought , thus giving them a connection which could , in theory , allow the two to share dream states . unless of course , them speaking to each other without talking was just supposed to show that the two can communicate by facial expressions alone . either way , i think we could have done with a lot more naga the serpent in the motion picture , as it was the first introduction of naga on screen . so why would you decide to down - play her role ?
at the beginning of the main series , lina meets a swordsman named gourry gabriev and a chimera boy named zelgadis greywords . lina encounters and destroys a part of the mazoku lord shabranigdo with her ultimate giga slave spell , which draws power from the lord of nightmares , [ 17 ] the highest deity of the slayers universe , but has no plans to ever use it again after almost ending the world . [ 3 ] she befriends a princess named amelia wil tesla seyruun and the priestess sylphiel nels lahda . she later meets a mysterious priest xellos and gets caught between chaos dragon gaav and hellmaster phibrizzo . in the anime - exclusive series slayers try , lina is recruited by the dragoness filia ul copt to save the world . in slayers revolution , lina gets arrested on false pretense which later comes leading her on a journey against another incarnation of the demon beast zannafar . she also meets an odd little creature named pokota , who too has the ability to use the dragon slave .
the art is deliberately reminiscent of the games . the characters look good and the battle scenes , though short , are nice and intense . unfortunately , the backgrounds are kind of dull .
even more , in this case mostly lifelike , clones of lina were created by xellos ' master zellas metallium in the video game slayers . one of them , who believes herself to be the real lina , is a playable character and the game ' s initial protagonist .
in australia and new zealand , madman entertainment released slayers special as a part of their 2006 collection slayers ova collection . it was also distributed by yamato video in italy ( in a dubbed version made by dea digital editing audio , written by benedetta brugia and directed by federico danti ) and by ova films in germany .
history went horribly wrong a very long time ago when the inhabitants of the island of mipross were viciously slaughtered . and by the luck of several linear events , short - statured ' master mage , lina inverse and scantily clad nahga the serpent find themselves the holders of discount tickets to the hot springs on mipross island fighting demons , conjuring spells , and doing nothing less than saving time itself from being turned towards the path it took as the demon joyrock forced his serpentine hand , sort of . in the literal since , the movie preludes the ova and tv series because the wizard rowdy is a member of the clan that spawns lina ' s companion gourry in the slayers tv series .
the dvd features a . d . vision ' s classic highly interactive menus ' with special features consisting of informative character bios , three slayers trailers : jelly ' s revenge mix , latin lingo mix , slayers ova mix , a slide show of stills , and the dvd credits . plus the usual assortment of scene , language , and subtitle selection along with adv previews . but , don ' t let the dvd - rom logo fool you . this feature is nothing more than a program that connects the viewer to the adv films web site .
when all is said and done , i suppose my description of this film was more detached and technical than passionate . and that’s mainly because i find myself appreciating and respecting this film far more than i lovingly enjoy it . that’ll be more when we get to slayers return and slayers great , as i have plenty to say about the plot and humor in those entries .
in the science fiction themed lost universe , kanzaka ' s another media franchise , the traits and personas of lina and gourry were mixed together to create its male protagonist , kain blueriver . [ 23 ] several different versions of lina populate the slayers world itself , due to various plots :
bottom line - - if you ' re a slayers fan ( and who isn ' t ? ) , this movie will give you everything you ' re expecting - - no more , no less . if you ' ve never been introduced to the slayers before , this movie is still fun , and you won ' t feel lost not having previously been exposed , either .
all films were produced by j . c . staff and licensed for home video release in north america by adv films . slayers return was adapted into a manga version .
in july 1998 , central park media announced they had licensed the manga for distribution in north america . [ 14 ] on june 15 , 1999 , slayers : medieval mayhem was released . [ 15 ] the four - volume series slayers special was published between october 12 , 2002 , and june 25 , 2003 . [ 16 ] [ 17 ] a seven - volume series super - explosive demon story followed between july 9 , 2002 and december 1 , 2004 . [ 18 ] [ 19 ] finally , slayers premium was published in north america on july 5 , 2005 . [ 20 ]
citing production reasons and using phrasing that indicates that it’ll be some time before any potential future solicitation is made again , it looks like the bandai visual japan plans for the slayers movie and ova box set is pretty much dead in the water . retailers have been updated with this information and solicitations are being removed from the storefronts to reflect that the plan is canceled outright .
central park media licensed and distributed the anime in north america under the software sculptors label on vhs and laserdisc between 1996 and 1998 , collected in eight volumes . [ 26 ] it was a commercial success for central park , which led them to license slayers next and slayers try ; next was first shipped from april 1999 in a similar format . a box set of the first four volumes was released in july 1999 , and a box set of the second four volumes in october . [ 27 ] slayers try was released later in 2000 . the first three seasons were subsequently re - released on dvd ( in season box sets ) . months before central park ' s license for the anime properties expired , funimation entertainment was able to obtain the license and it aired as part of the new owner ' s programming block on colours tv , as well as the funimation channel . [ 28 ] the first bilingual dvd box set after funimation ' s rescue of the license was released on august 27 , 2007 retaining the software sculptors - produced english dub . [ 29 ] a boxset of slayers , next and try was released by funimation on august 4 , 2009 . [ 30 ]
lina and gourry have traveled with each other ever since they met , and they have been featured in every form of slayers media that takes place in the timeline after they meet . lina appears to fall in love with gourry , once even risking the destruction of the universe in order to save him . [ 18 ] there is a distinct lack of romantic development in the series , even after it is affirmed that lina and gourry love each other . kanzaka addressed this by jokingly stating that he is not adept in writing romantic scenes . the final climax of slayers next , the second season of the slayers tv series , the two characters share a kiss , though they cannot later recall the incident . however , both gourry and lina remember that something important had happened between them . in any media taking place after the two met , they have been featured together and should they ever get separated , are never apart for too long .
but as far as this film goes , as i’ve tried to express thus far , it’s a beautiful start to this franchise of slayers films . it has all of the elements that will be further expanded upon in the three following films ( slayers premium ( movie 5 ) is complete garbage , but we’ll get to that later ) . the plot and story is decently set - up and paced . the characters are fun , especially the villains . you learn just enough about lina , and will learn more about naga later on in the other films . the music is solid , and in fact many of the songs and themes featured here will be carried over into all of the later films . some songs are even reused in their entirety . so it will all soon become very familiar by the time you reach the ovas .

slayers was originally serialized in dragon magazine in 1989 as a short story series written by hajime kanzaka , and with artwork by rui araizumi . [ 4 ] the serialized chapters were then published as slayers light novels across 15 volumes from january 25 , 1990 to may 15 , 2000 .

this first film take on the ever - popular slayers series is more of the same dumb fantasy fun with a liberal sprinkling of actual plot that made the series as popular as it is . fine art it ain ' t , but it does amuse , as long as your tastes aren ' t too refined .
you may also become aware by movie 3 ( slayers great ) that lina has a bit of a self - conscious issue with her breast cup size . during the tv series it was emphasized quite regularly that lina was flat chested , a fact that was of great irritation and concern to lina , and that even the slightly younger amelia had a much fuller pair in comparison . so enter naga the serpent , who has a voluptuous set of breasts that are always bouncing in lina’s face , and you can see why lina would have a bit of a weakness and a quick temper regarding her lack of cleavage . although she almost never has even a passing interest in a man , or a woman during the entire show’s run . so perhaps she’s interested in a fuller pair simply to feel more typically attractive and woman - like . interestingly though , after looking at the entire franchise from beginning to end , the motion picture is the one entry where lina’s boobs are actually bigger than any other on - screen iteration of her character , and yet this is also the only instance where lina is seemingly given a way of improving her breast size by way of a secret pond that makes things grow . unfortunately the only thing the pond does is make things grow “old : ” thus it is primarily used by a local farming community to quickly ripen their crops . lina is rightly pissed .

like the work of gabriel garcia marquez , who is one of the outspoken supporters of this film , alsino and the condor is a mixture of poetry , political reality and fantasy .

though ' ' alsino and the condor ' ' is sorrowful , it is never sentimental , which , for mr . littin , a chilean director living in exile in mexico , is as much of an accomplishment as getting the film produced at all . ' ' alsino and the condor ' ' is the first fiction feature ever made in nicaragua .
littin has entered the oscar stakes twice before — in 1976 ( for mexico’s “letters from marusia” ) and 1983 ( for nicaragua’s “alsino and the condor” ) . this is the first time he’s repping his home country .

alsino & the condor is a multinational production , utilizing financing from nicaragua , mexico , cuba and costa rica . the film is related from the point of view of alsino ( alan esquivel ) , an impoverished nicaraguan lad . while his country and its rotting buildings crumble all around him , the idealistic alsino imagines himself to be a condor , flying far above his deprivations . it is during one of his hallucinations that alsino jumps from a tree ; the fall cripples him , turning him into a hunchback . he will only straighten out to his full proud height upon joining a guerilla band , fighting the corrupt government armies . significantly , alsino & the condor was the first production to be filmed in nicaragua after the sandinista revolution and the overthrow of somoza ~ hal erickson , rovi

alsino y el condor , made at the time of the sandinista overthrow of the somoza regime in nicaragua , is an allegory of the nicaraguan people rising up to meet their oppressor . the film is a mexican - cuban - nicaraguan co - production , yet despite this , it has the distinctive littin touch .
' ' alsino and the condor , ' ' a co - production of nicaragua ( where it was made ) , mexico , cuba and costa rica , is a film about injustice and revolution , not looked at directly but seen , as if in passing , by alsino , a solemn little peasant boy who , more than anything else , wants to fly .
there is a contrast between alsino ' s dreams and the realities of his country as it heads towards revolution . alsino likes to climb trees and to imagine himself flying . his dreams are ignited by the us army helicopter that begins to hover over his head . alsino wants to fly . the fact that the helicopter is fighting the very people who want to liberate his own people is lost on him . alsino ' s dreams are the dreams of his people , although as he is a child he cannot realize this and it is only after he falls from the tree and becomes hunchbacked that he becomes conscious of reality . after meeting the guerilla he returns home to find his town abandoned and his mamabuela dead , the dutch postcards burnt and scattered to the wind , like his dreams . alsino becomes one of the guerillas himself . finally understanding the war and foreign aggression he can fly on the wings of his dreams of freedom .
the movie , which was one of this year ' s oscar nominees for best foreign films , takes place in nicaragua during the fighting with honduras . american advisers work with the government in the war against the guerrillas . helicopters , troop carriers and tanks come and go across the lush landscape where the peasants plow their fields in the rain , and the little boy , alsino , becomes enraptured by the sight of the airborne soldiers .
the hero of the film is 10 - year - old alsino , a dreamer . he lives with his mamabuela , an old lady shrouded in the mystery of her past , who bewitches alsino with travel tales of her dead sailor - husband and shows him old postcards from amsterdam .
like the work of gabriel garcia marquez , who is one of the outspoken supporters of this film ,
alsino and the condor
is a mixture of poetry , political reality and fantasy . there seems to be some sort of a romantic muse at work in the films and novels of latin american artists , reminding them to decorate their tragedies with butterflies and dreams . as a result , any description of
alsino
is likely to make the film sound too factual ; it ' s a war story that takes place largely inside the mind of a dreamy little boy .
alsino and the condor
is the first fiction feature ever made in nicaragua , but its poetic intensity will make it familiar to readers of latin american literature . it makes a fascinating counterpoint to
under fire ,
the excellent thriller starring nick nolte and gene hackman as american reporters covering the fall of the somosa regime . the american film instinctively adopts a realistic approach , just as this latin film instinctively adopts a poetic one . it ' s the difference between a dramatization and a parable .
nominated for an oscar for best foreign film ,
alsino and the condor
is a potent blend of a philosophical coming - of - age fable and a sharp commentary on what was happening in the country politically . it has hints of south american magical realism as we view life through the eyes of alsino , a boy who dreams of flying . he witnesses the arrival of american soldiers in a helicopter , which inspires him to try actual flight from a tree . the war around him escalates and through it all his outlook remains steadfast , or does it ? this was also the comeback film for actor dean stockwell , who played one of american soldiers who befriends alsino .
a socialist epic recounting the struggles of revolutionary chilean peasants in the 1920s and 1930s .
at its best , ' ' alsino and the condor ' ' has something of a latin american ' ' candide ' ' about it . it ' s never uproariously funny , but it is wise and just a little bit lunatic , as when alsino , in his wanderings , comes across a good friday religious procession . the boy , stony - faced as always , goes up to relieve the burden of the man portraying christ on his way to calvary . screams the angry pilgrim , ' ' find your own cross ! ' '
it is 1925 and working conditions in chile are abysmal . the miners of marusia go on strike , but the mine owners and the government use the chilean army crush them .
alsino , a boy of 10 or 12 , lives with his grandmother in a remote area of nicaragua . he ' s engulfed in the war between rebels and government troops when a us advisor orders the army to open a staging area by the boy ' s hamlet . alsino tries to be a child , climbing trees with a girl , looking through his grandfather ' s trunk of mementos and trying to fly ; he goes to town to sell a saddle , has his first drink and is taken to a brothel . but the war surrounds him . the us advisor takes alsino on a chopper flight , but he ' s unimpressed . the soldiers ' cruelties awake rebel sympathies in alsino , and after an army assault backfires , the lad is fully baptized into the conflict .
alsino y el condor made at the time of the sandanista overthrow of the somoza regime in nicaragua , is an allegory of the nicaraguan people rising up to meet their oppressor . the film is a mexican - cuban - nicaraguan co - production , yet despite this , it has the distinctive littin touch . littin ' s shortest film to this point was criticized by some for its too blatant use of political allegory .
the very obvious allegories here are the illusion of liberty through flying , and real dictatorial oppression and north american aggression expressed by the helicopter . cultural domination is expressed by alsino ' s wanting to possess the foreign object , the helicopter—even though it represents aggression . the film is full of symbols—in fact it could be said that there is not one real character in the film , merely symbols and emblems . there are birds unable to fly because their wings have been clipped , and alsino becomes hunchbacked because he falls from a tree and only then begins to see things in a different light .
' ' alsino and the condor ' ' is full of painful scenes witnessed without apparent emotion by the boy , now a hunchback , as he wanders the nicaraguan countryside . he seems hardly to bat an eye as he passes government troops as they massacre peasants and burn their farms . until he finds political commitment , he is not beyond feeling but beyond its expression , which gives particular impact to the film ' s final freeze frame .

miguel littin ' s ' ' alsino and the condor , ' ' which opens today at the cinema 3 theater , is a politically angry film with the manner of a mournful fable - a very odd but haunting mix . it can ' t quite bring itself to say what ' s on its mind , but instead , like a child who is shy , it points at things with furious if silent disapproval .

set against the almost unbelievable brutality of an internecine guerilla war ( nicaragua , 1979 ) , a young boy ' s dream to fly like the birds seems almost commonplace . in his dreams alsino can fly , but when he wakes up everything is somehow different . the delightful esquivel brings to the title role a fragile passion around which the chilean film - maker littin conjures an archetypal south american world of enchantment ( the grandmother and her chest of secrets , the prostitute and the bird man , familiar from the writings of garcía márquez and others ) which can absorb intrusive realities as easily as the ever - present verdant jungle .

there is a giant , ancient tree near the village where the boy spends his free time , climbing through its enormous network of branches like a monkey . one day , dreaming of flying , he jumps out of the tree . his back is injured in the fall and he becomes a hunchback .
meanwhile , the war escalates , and so do stockwell ' s lectures . using a war map , scowling ferociously through his green - tinted shades , he talks of
containment
and
parameters ,
and of bombing the whole area into submission to remove the guerrilla ' s support base . he could easily be a villain , since the movie is frankly opposed to us military intervention on the side of totalitarianism . but
alsino
is more complicated than that , and stockwell emerges as an object of pity . his strategies and analyses are so irrelevant to what ' s going on around him that they exist mostly as his means of maintaining his own sanity .
despite limited expressionism governed by low budget , littin vocalizes a poetic coming - of - political - age tale . self - proclaimed “free man” sells caged birds , alsino sees corrupted capitalist fantasy . no wings for the people , only delusional submission to incompatible foreign ideals . while the imagery is certainly poetically evocative , the narrative could benefit from stronger , and more constantly present struggle .
despite its 22 nominations latin america has only won the oscar for best foreign language film twice . both times the winners were from argentina . the first win was in 1985 for la historia oficial ( the official story ) , set in buenos aires . in the film an upper middle class couple adopts a young girl during the dictatorship . as the country transitions to democracy they begin to suspect that she may be the child of one of the victims of the forced disappearances that occurred during the dirty war , known as los desaparecidos .
miguel littin , chilean director in exile and former head of chile films , flirted with magic realism , a style increasingly popular in fiction and following on from this , cinema , in the 1970s , with el recurso del metodo , and then returned to the chileans - in - exile theme of direct criticism and allegories of the political events in chile with alsino y el condor . nearly all those involved in chile films during allende ' s brief tenure in office in the country were thrown out of chile after pinochet ' s takeover of power in 1973 ( some after a period of imprisonment ) , and despite money difficulties , some managed to keep up a form of film production . those who did so were mostly in socialist regimes—the soviet union or cuba—but because of his contacts in the mexican film business , miguel littin was able to continue his career there . this mass exodus of filmmakers from chile who actually managed to continue filmmaking , and provide an alternative point of view to the very small number of films produced under pinochet at this time , lead to the peculiar situation of almost an entire country ' s film output being made in exile .

this film was respected in the west and even nominated for an academy award for best foreign film , although its obvious and heavy - handed political allegory was too much for the north american critics . cine cubano , however , loved it , and praised it for the beauty of using the innocent eyes of childhood awakening to political consciousness as the medium for the message . one could say , however , that littin ' s vision has never been so schematized before and presents a very simplified vision of a country ' s problems .

overall , i found the film uneven but affecting . it ' s heavy on symbolism and the absurdities of war , and that it is rather messy and confused at times mirrors that content . reynaldo miravalles gives a good performance as don nazario . in one remarkable shot , the upturned faces of newly - massacred civilians rise just above the surface of a shimmering river . that shot could have been gorgeous , but nicaragua in the early 80s was a rough place , and this is not a particularly attractive film ; as is , the shot…

mr . littin is most at ease , and most effective , when he keeps to the point of view of alsino , very nicely played by alan esquivel , who looks a little like the boy in francois truffaut ' s ' ' wild child . ' ' the movie is a fairy tale turned inside out . here the monster is not transformed into a prince , but the prince into a monster , at least physically , who eventually finds a more important kind of release in a new identity as a sandinist rebel .
after the 1973 coup resulted in allende’s suicide , the surviving allende ministers and closest government collaborators were sent to a concentration camp on dawson island . the unwelcoming , isolated and sparsely populated isle northwest of cape horn — used by littin for his shoot — effectively made them disappear from view .
on arriving , the men are assigned only the name of their barracks and a number , with former mining minister sergio bitar ( benjamin vicuna ) receiving the titular “dawson island 10 . ” though the film is nominally based on the bitar’s own book , “isla 10 , ” he’s only a bit player here : littin prefers an overview of what the men went through , breaking up their experiences into little scenes that cover many prisoners , guards and events .
this approach , reinforced by the guards’ habit of referring to everyone by number rather than by name , highlights the way in which the system tried to stamp out any individuality . but without anyone to identify with , it also makes it harder for auds to buy into the story emotionally . the attempted escapes , “happy” christmas celebrations , desire for news from home and thawing relationships with some of the guards feel like the stuff of countless other such movies .

trailer for a nicaragua / cuba / mexico / costa rica co - production . director : miguel littin starred : dean stockwell , alan esquivel original title : alsino y el cóndor dvd : no apparent official release .
this film was a co - production of mexico ' s imcine ; icaic , the instituto cubano del arte e industrias cinematográficos ; and the then new nicaraguan film institute ( nfi ) of which this was the latter ' s first production .
argentina’s second oscar came almost twenty - five years later with el secreto de sus ojos ( the secret in their eyes ) in 2009 . in the crime thriller directed by juan josé campanella and starring ricardo darín , a retired federal agent begins to write a novel on an unsolved murder case that has haunted him for years . with its two wins , argentina remains the only latin american country to have brought home the bronze . taking into account its 22 nominations but only two oscar statuettes the odds aren’t the best for latin america as a whole and chile in particular ( zero nominations or wins ) , but let’s cross our fingers and hope for the best . chile could very well be selected this time since no is the kind of the film the academy usually goes for .
set in 1988 , no recounts the amazing real life story of a national referendum that everyone thought was destined to fail but ultimately dissolved the chilean dictatorship and ended general pinochet’s almost twenty year rule . leading up to the historic vote each side was allowed 15 minutes of late - night tv airtime every day for a month straight . gael garcía bernal stars as rene saavedra , a young , rebellious skateboard - riding advertising executive who went from selling soap and soda to heading up the campaign to vote no on keeping pinochet in power for eight more years . shot using u - matic video cameras , larraín wanted to match the look of the archival television footage woven into the film . as a result of using the same format that t . v . news was shot in during the eighties , the real - life footage seamlessly matches his purposely grainy and overexposed film . despite its dreary appearance , it is funny , uplifting , and entertaining . it’s not a slow artsy film with little dialogue ; it is perfectly paced . and together , bernal’s charm and the film’s many amusing moments end up creating a movie that will surely captivate the academy and maybe even a mainstream commercial audience .

a few weeks ago the academy of motion picture arts and sciences released its shortlist for the foreign language film award . the nominations are being determined in two phases . after a committee of several hundred academy members screened all 71 eligible films nine were selected to advance to the second round , making it to the shortlist . of these nine only one latin american film made the cut , pablo larraín’s no , starring gael garcía bernal .
the only strands that stand out are those involving a prisoner with medical knowledge ( horacio videla ) who finds himself in a moral quagmire when treating a hurt jailer ( there’s no doctor on the island ) , and an elderly father and his grown son ( jose martin , matias vega ) who provide the heartbreaking final scene .

it was the comeback film of actor dean stockwell . notable cuban director of photography jorge herrera died during the production due to a brain hemorrhage .
himself an exile after pinochet toppled allende’s marxist - socialist government in 1973 , the helmer has long been one of the most politically engaged filmmakers in latin america . however , the tone of “island” is closer to humanist documentary than sociopolitical pamphlet , as littin lets the story speak for itself .

this year nine latin american countries submitted a film for consideration : argentina , brazil , chile , colombia , dominican republic , mexico , peru , uruguay , and venezuela . of these nine , only chile made the shortlist . if it is nominated it will become part of an elite group of latin american countries that have received this honor . mexico leads the pack with eight nominations , followed by argentina who has six , and brazil with four . nicaragua , cuba , puerto rico , and peru have all been nominated once . that is a total of 22 nominations for all latin american countries since 1960 , when the region received its first nomination for macario , directed by roberto gavaldón . the film , a supernatural drama set in colonial times , lost out to ingmar bergman’s the virgin spring . it was the first time mexico had been nominated in the category and despite being the most often nominated country in latin america , it has failed to ever win a statuette . so , which countries have won the coveted award ?

i actually liked this movie . . . . but after reading other comments , i ' m wondering what happened to me . was i hypnotized ? was it because i was reading subtitles ? i truly did care about the little boy in this film . and the scenes of war in this central american country were heartwrenching . really hit me hard . am i a fool for propaganda ? was i being played like a violin ? i also thought dean stockwell was great in his role as the american chopper pilot . i especially loved his drunk scene - uh , maybe because it reminded me of all the fights i used to have with my ex . . . . . the one lighthearted moment in a film filled with heavy sorrows .
