No was an interesting film about an advertising executive trying to overthrow the dictatorship in Chile. I was interested in the commercials he used in order to get this idea of “no” around. Furthermore, what really struck me about the film was the filming technique. The camera was usually shaky and it felt more like a home-video style documentary than a professionally-shot film. I think the shakiness of the camera parallels the unstable environment of Chile as they endured a huge election that determined if Chile would be under a dictator for eight more years. When a country is given an opportunity to vote, people think it’s democratic. However, it was miraculous that the No campaign won because the dictator was using violent techniques to influence voters to say yes. The courage the people in the campaign had to say no to a dangerous dictator was tremendous. It’s hard to resist someone powerful and just say no, but it’s important to stand by what you believe in.
