Hola clase! For the next few days we are going to watch Men with Guns. After the movie is finished, we are going to compare notes, and a have a short quiz about what you learned from the movie.
Men with Guns is a movie about an old prominent doctor of Colombia, who has had an eventful life being a doctor as well as a teacher. After caring for ill people for many years, he learns that he is in poor health. Before he retires; however, he visits a handful of his students that he had taught in the past, in which they are now doctors themselves. Unfortunately, the indigenous tribes and military soldiers (guerillas) of Colombia are killing doctors and other people who pass by because they are considered as a threat to the community.
The purpose of watching this movie is so that you can develop knowledge of the murderous time periods of Colombia. Think of these questions while you watch the movie: Why did these people kill, especially the doctors? Why did doctors, innocent tourists, and the indigenous pose as a threat? Why did the old prominent doctor want to visit his students? Why did these doctors continue to travel to dangerous areas, knowing that their lives were in danger? In addition, I want all of you to write down all of the names and locations from watching the movie. The names of the doctors, indigenous, and the locations are important in reference to understanding the movie. (Ojo: This movie is very interesting, and terrorizing so pay close attention. In addition, the end of this movie is shocking!)
Saludos
