HEN , THE POLICE AND THE ALIEN SHIP: "Birds Flying"

In Mimesis, Auerbach argues that there or coexist two types of realism in Western literature: one more devoted to the everyday and the other a more abstract and ideal. Both in one as in the other, he says, comes from ancient Greek, a continuous transgression Aristotelian levels that divide the tragedy of the play, the top of the low. And that element, the mixture of styles, is for him an operation that goes-and defined-all realism.

What happens when the humor is mixed with "serious" and in any case, when the humor is corroded himself to retrace the daily life and at the same time, the genre of humor? Birds flying happens, the film Director Nestor Montalbano, starring Diego Capussoto , Luis Luque, Verónica Llinás, Juan Carlos Mesa and Alejandro Flechtner, among others.

descontracturar Birds flying everyday, understood in an almost cosmological and social animals, to transform it into art. Because it witnessed the invention of a parallel universe, the Las Pircas where regionalism exacerbated becomes a cliche from which reveals a common character device - for example, when introduced into the village and a musician Jujuy it puts in place a representative of the ancient Incas, but running ficus bought a craft fair, whose names are explained. Also, because it is the deconstruction of the landscape and culture of Las Sierras of Cordoba, Capilla del Monte on time, through the altered landscape of Mount birdie * that hangs over the people in the form of a dove of rock embedded in the mountains and through the use of UFO culture, the hippie, wave or artisans naturist area Uritorco as ways of life brought into crisis from its own morally indefensible. But mostly because, basically, the movie appeals to the use of birds flying piece as a kind of rhetoric that mutates along its course to account for the reality (the comic genre and present).

one hand, "birds fly" is the title of a song that was a hit of green lemons , former band of Joseph (Capussoto) and Miguel (Luque) and that the This action supports only the first. But that hit not only is one unknown to most of the protagonists, which reveals its paradoxical character, but also in a central dialog, Ruth (Miguel Llinás, and woman in fiction) reveals to Joseph that he first heard the track he was disgusting and it sucks that made her vomit, literally. The theme Thus a figure of humor about the film itself, with which it shares the title, but also via analogue describes the design principle that animates and gives all power to the film: laugh at the comedy film or In other words, make humor of humor. It is a question of making the code itself delirious humor as a genre film. Because everything is produced in an atmosphere of deep seriousness and everyday, even delirium. But also because the master writer / director is to deconstruct the tips of the popular comedy films by two procedures. On the one hand, a self-setting distance by grafting it absolutely dreamy and fantastic scenes, too artificial, hallucinated and brazen, that extend into the reality of the protagonists through the plain of the alteration of the landscape (the giant Cerro the bird) or exacerbated stereotypes that each represents, highlighting, permanently, his capacity total device in the midst of building that does not seek to resemble or reproduce reality as such, but use it to make a parallel universe. Hence, unlike the popular comedy films, there is no claim of identification with the characters, but start away from their immersion in the artificial atmosphere, however, there produce the maximum possible identification as social stereotypes. On the other, and in direct relation to the insistence of artifice, the script has a logic that recalls the popular Argentine films of the seventies, based on an argument that is supported by the break with verisimilitude in narrative progress: the sudden reappearance a distant cousin in a Buenos Aires bar only to tell him to go and live in Las Pircas, subsequent disillusionment of the protagonist with his life in the city and the image in my mind the words of the cousin who take the journey. Thus, the humor of humor laugh at all levels: from the film itself, gender and previous films.

On the other hand, all characters are "birds flying" about themselves like vultures waiting for a prey, you know, may not prove themselves at any time because there is always another bird the "monitors", although sometimes also accompanied them on the flight. In this "fauna," are words of Ruth, there are three large birds that may or may hint at that side where the humor mixed with seriousness at its maximum power: hen, the policewoman and the spacecraft. And here is how serious political and social criticism .

Chickens are the preferred prey of chintz abductions aliens performing in Las Pircas. At the end, we witness the transformation of a chicken abducted in a kind of prophet to all wildlife that tourist come to hear a message. What is that message? Everything is wrong, that things are becoming worse, there is a cosmic mess is going to lead to the end and we must change. The cackle of the hen that hypnotizes and draws applause from the crowd of tourists, and the image of Victor Hugo Morales, reflecting seriously about the event, send us back, directly, and political catastrofita discruso that in this media saturated. Become the crowing hen's prophetic speech introuduce through allegorical fragmentation of this media discourse that Ulrich Beck scored establishing global risk society, but in Argentina, in particular, is plagued by a destabilizing political resonance harvested from organs of power.

The power of the crow is also in the film, a glass perfect communicating with women police are looking for and go everywhere Colombian drug traffickers and suspected Joseph for having a jersey with Flag of that country only comes to town. So on one hand, it portrays the latent xenophobia, coupled with persecutory speech about safety and drugs permeate the company to lead it to a persecutory paranoia even in the quieter town of Las Sierras. Thus, the prophetic and doom cackling of the hen women serving in police and their deluded phone calls to a higher police authority happens to reports about the disaster that has become The Pircas and impossibilities to catch drug traffickers will always escape him, neglecting, sometimes the danger that lives in his own family when the child is pointing a gun. The policewoman is always a bird house that is starving and that becomes, unfortunately, a victim of his stare.
If society is permeated by the discourse of catastrophe, even one of the characters about to be abducted comes to shout: "Get me out of this fucking country" - also have their hope: the alien craft. It projects the most improbable fantasies about the possibility of intergalactic journey from childhood reminiscences to the figure of the mother or toys to the image that greets Peron on the balcony. Utopian projection is in that exchange, the beginning of a full life, a picture of disappointment ** humanity itself on its ability to which the film insists permanently through the violence that underlies the delirious humor through the hopeful image of a foreign ship of humanity itself a ride.

These birds are flying and one of the avatars in the chain of abstract realism that Auerbach Mimesis think and not afraid to link with some aspects of serious and comic-body-spirit displayed in Rabelais. Only in this case undermines the serious comedy, humor yourself and all of this social discourse. ***************

* The first time we went to Capilla del Monte, I was amazed to see how a small rock polished by wind erosion fairly clear-shaped shoe, condor, etc. by installing a circuit- long around tourism. The exacerbation of the "Hill the bird" in the landscape of Birds Flying is a symbolic exacerbation playing the tourist. **

Disenchantment also falls on the political discourse. At one point the film, Joseph must buy tickets to Las Pircas, but the bus company has no idea where is the place and does not make trip to it. So Cafiero appears in the role of business owner and begins to assume a political promise that "they are to solve problems for people." The fun explodes when, after searching the map and check the travel routes, it announced that it will leave on a road trip is not sure if it is 8, 10 or 50 miles from the Pircas. In this introduction to the film parodies Cafiero action-and policy-Peronist essentially always be about solutions, but never been able to convert, because all political project is in itself impossible. But it is also true that it corrodes the image of this policy, giving rise, again to bring out a disappointment under the mold of humor.
