Summary
Santiago, capital of Chile during the Marxist government of elected, highly controversial president Salvador Allende. Father McEnroe supports his leftist views by introducing a program at the prestigious "collegio" (Catholic prep school) St. Patrick to allow free admission of some proletarian kids. One of them is Pedro Machuca, slum-raised son of the cleaning lady in Gonzalo Infante's liberal-bourgeois home. Yet the new classmates become buddies, paradoxically protesting together as Gonzalo gets adopted by Pedro's slum family and gang. But the adults spoil that too, not in the least when general Pinochet's coup ousts Allende, and supporters such as McEnroe.

La bicicleta es recurrente en 'Machuca', película chilena de 2004. Este símbolo representa la libertad y la conexión entre dos mundos opuestos, reforzando la tensión social durante el Chile de 1973 en la trama de Machuca.
Dos niños chilenos de 12 años de diferentes clases sociales se hacen amigos en 1973. Ambos descubren el mundo del otro mientras aumentan las tensiones políticas en su país.
Está súper buena esta peli👌
La historia usa como marco de referencia los últimos años del Chile de Salvador Allende para ilustrar las diferencias entre los pobres y los ricos, diferencia que se hace cada vez más cruda y tangible cuando la dictadura militar llega al poder. Gran joya del cine Hispanohablante.
