[Translated with Google]Genres: comedy, drama, tragicomedy, social portrait. Film with 2 stories: "Fiction" and "Non-Fiction", in a Film of the spring of 2001 that makes a Portrait to the "average" classes and classes "average-high" in the USA. The Decline Phase awaits the United States (and therefore capitalism in general) when it enters 2001 in the new century and new millennium. 1) Fiction. Vi has a boyfriend with cerebral palsy, and both are students in a second or third row university. They attend classes of Professor Scott (a Pulitzer Prize-winning writer) who is remote in every way: his Pulitzer does not open any door to him, he feels resentful, angry, bitter. And because he is black, in a society of whites, he feels that he has only been able to go against him as a writer. All these feelings reflect them in their classes and in their intimate life seducing their students and destroying them during the process. Vi wants to look, evolve ... to be more sophisticated, modern, than it is today. The paralysis of her boyfriend, helps to feel to get that "sophisticated / modern life", etc. 2) Non-Fiction. Toby Oxman is an adult New Yorker: failed, with depressing air, shares a floor, a miserable, unfortunate, that he has a habit of not complying, not ending, with any of his projects and goals in which he focuses. Too idealistic in a capitalist world makes him fall, to be, in that personal state. By not finishing every project in which he is centered, he depresses him, and thus forms a vicious circle of abyss towards the unsuccessful and depressing Being. Now he wants to make a documentary about teenage life at the Institute (comparing it to the personal teen experience he felt / perceived) and persuades Scooby (Mark Webber) and his family to participate. Scooby, the older brother, is different from his family. Their siblings, by the natural desire to compete in the "family hierarchy" between brothers, crush Major Scooby, with primitive forms (fantasmadas, chulerías, critics to the rival, etc., all this also lying, deceiving, whenever possible). Scooby, out of affection and family respect, barely defends or does anything to avoid it, nor does it share that ancestral, primitive, animal, creepy, way of competing. Thus, long ago entered the phase of resignation. All this translates for him to lead a depressive life, disenchanted to feel the mean behavior of his family. And, as a young man, creating his own dreams without actually pursuing them, for that reality reminds him of unfair competition in a capitalist, disloyal world (notably the "hammer and sickle" t-shirt that he carries at times). Parents consent to the "primitive, animal, creeping competition" of children who want to gain sympathy, favoritism, etc. from parents. It portrays authoritarianism / family totalitarianism. The father embodies the part of the state that is totalitarian / dictatorial / oppressive / police and selfish-imperialist (brings "outside" income to the home / "nation" / "family unit") and the mother rolls the state Which belongs to the Protectionism / Bureaucrat / Church (consoling, affectionate, kind, mailbox / ministry of requests and for paperwork, consultations, etc.) but this part "Mother" of the State goes to the "Father" when he feels that something is not right, That it is He, the Father, who performs that Authoritarian, dictatorial, and repressive and aggressive role, etc. Both mother-father together form that "family state" of which Scooby is not fully aware but "hates" from his unconscious and from there emerges reflecting in his character and life. Therefore, he is also rebellious, apathetic, etc. Scooby does not fight for its objectives, since to reach it would be to "accept" the primitive culture of all that surroundings. Meanwhile, the Scooby brothers seem to be real winners in everything they do. In their still "innocent personalities" in growth and development, there are already clear airs of Nazi-capitalism, in their treatment and way of seeing, appreciating / despising the world and others, all doubtless due to the type of education and culture that It transmits its family, school, and television environment, as for example the one already described in the extrapolation of State realized in the "familiar head" of the Father-Mother. ===================================================================== ==== Starring: Paul Giamatti, Mark Webber, John Goodman, Selma Blair Curiosity: all the male characters of "Non-Fiction", with a relevant role, their names finish with "y".
