A METAPHOR ABOUT HOW COMPLEX SEEMS TO BE THE HISTORY AND THE NOWADAYS ORGANIZATIONAL PROCESS OF A CITY LIKE MEXICO. GLASS IS THE MEANING OF THIS METAPHOR IN WHICH THE SPACE INCLUDES SHARP EDGES MODELING HUMAN BEHAVIOR.

4 PEOPLE, 3 GUYS AND A GIRL, TALK ABOUT THEIR OWN EXPERIENCE AND THE WAY THEY LIVE MEXICO CITY. THE QUALITIES OF THIS TESTIMONIALS ARE PRETTY MUCH ALIKE THE CONTEMPORARY SITUATION OF MANY CITIES IN THE WORLD. INCLUDES THE POINT OF VIEW OF AN ARCHEOLOGY PROFESSOR, WHO STATES DE HISTORICAL CONTEXT AN THE ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVE.
THE VISUAL TREATMENT IS AN IMPORTANT QUALITY BECAUSE IT TAKE US TO A RIDE ALL OVER THE STREETS, DETAILS OF THE NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL LIGHTNING AND OTHER CURIOUS ASPECTS LIKE FAUNA, ORDINARY LIFE, SAD GARBAGE LANDSCAPES, POVERTY AND WEALTHY, DAY AND NIGHT.
THIS WORK IS INCLUDED IN A CONTEX THAT HAS A LOT OF INTERPRETATIONS, BECAUSE THIS YEAR IS THE CELEBRATION OF THE INDEPENDENCE IN 1810 AND THE REVOLUTION IN 1910 OF MEXICO. A VERY SIGULAR PHENOMENON IN THE HISTORY OF A COUNTRY. WHAT DOES THE NATURE OF THIS SITUATION MEANS FOR THE PEOPLE, THE POLITICAL PROCESS, THE DECONSTRUCTION OF AN IDENTITY AS POPULATION WHO'S HISTORICAL CONTEXT SEEMS TO HAVE A REASON TO CELEBRATE BUT WHO'S SITUATION DOESN'T GIVE ANY CONFIRMATION OF THIS MEANING. MEANINGLESS SEEMS TO BE A RATHER ADECUATE WORD TO DEFINE THE WAY THING ARE WORKING NOW. THE SIMBOLS AND REPRESENTATIONS OF THOSE HISTORICAL EVENTS ARE ALL THE CONTRARY OF WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE PRESENT SOCIAL AND POLITICAL PROCESS OF MEXICO.
SO THE MEANING OF THE METAPHOR "GLASS", RELATES THE WAY PEOPLE EXPANDS THEIR BORDERS IN A VERY EVEN INCOMPREHENSIBLE CIRCUMSTANCES.
ALTHOGH, THIS WORK WAS THINK TO PRODUCE SOME SENSIBILITY ON THE PEOPLE, LOCALS AND FOREIGNERS, TO INDUCE THEM TO UNDERSTAND THEIR OWN PLACE, THE SAME TO THE SIMPLE PEOPLE THAN TO THE POLITICAL CLASS. AND AS ONE OF THE CHARACTERS SAY "IF WE COULD BE AN EXAMPLE TO OTHER COUNTIRES, THAT WOULD MAKE ME HAPPY".
FEDERAL DISTRICT IS MEXICO'S CAPITAL AND ONE POINT OF THE WORK IS TO QUESTION ABOUT TO CHANGE IT TO OTHER COUNTY. THE ANSWER SEEMS NEGATIVE FOR ALL THE SIMBOLICAL AND IDEOLOGICAL MEANINGS, BUT FINALLY SOMEONE -EVEN THE DIRECTOR OF THIS DOCUMENTARY- WOULD CONTINUE THINKING 'WHAT IF...' THE REAL SITUATION IS THAT A CITY SHOULD BE MORE THAN ONLY THE REPRESENTATION OF THE PAST AND MORE THE REFLEXION OF IT'S ACTUAL MOMENT, TO ASUME RESPONSABILITY FOR THE REST OF THER COUNTRY AND IF THE CAPITAL IS SO TINY THERE MUST BE ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT RYTHM AND OUT OR INSIGHT RELATION SKILLS TO REPRESENT THE WHOLE COUNTRY WITH DETERMINATION AND NEW THINKING MANERS.
PRECISELY THIS IS THE PROPOSAL ON THE DOCUMENTARY. THE VISUAL ASPECT REFLECTS THAT THERE IS MORE IN PEOPLE THAN TRADITION AND FLATNESS. WITHOUT TRYING TO CHANGE ANY CULTURAL PERSPECTIVES, THE ONLY CLUE IS TO BE PART OF NOW IN THE WORLD, TO AVOID BEEN RELEGATED AS A NON PROFITABLE AND USELESS REGION THAT ONLY DEPENDS ON THE LOANS AND DIRTY INTERNATIONAL DEALS. THE VISUAL GIVES US ACTUALITY, THE SOUND MANTAIN THE QUESTIONABLE ISSUES AND THE TESTIMONIALS MAKES US NOTICE THAT PEOPLE IS TIRED OF BEEN UNDERESTIMATED, EVEN IF THEY ARE LUCKY OR NONLUCK PERSONAS. TO LIVE IN THIS COUNTRY IS SOMETIMES EMBARRISING FOR WHAT THE MEDIA WANTS US TO BE, ALL POLITICAL LAMBS, BUT MOST OF THE PEOPLE KNOWS THEY DON'T WANT THAT FOR THEM. HERE THE OPORTUNITIES MEANS HARASSMENT, HUMILLIATION AND CURRUPTION, THIS IS WHAT MEXICO REPRESENTS FOR THE REST OF THE WORLD AND SADDLY IS PRETTY MUCH TRUE, BUT NOT BECAUSE OF THE PEOPLE.
TITLED IT "GLASS" GOES FOR ALL CLASSES IN THE COUNTRY COULD ASUME THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS AND THINKING THAT, MORE THAN TO BE CHANGED, THEY SHOULD BE ACTUALIZED, INSTED OF MODIFY THE VERBS OR REDUCE THE COMPLEXITY OF OUR LANGUAGE (AS THE RECENT MODIFICATIONS APROOVED BY THE REAL ACADEMY), WE SHOULD LEARN AND UNDERSTAND IT DEEPLY.
