... 8th Wonderland is a virtual country, hear a world community that is found on the Internet.
There is a first step to an action type "direct" to P ablo G ueriero the candidate for President of Latin American countries, follows a flashbacks that starts with an action type "schoolboy" against the Vatican, and whose progress will lead us naturally to the election of ueriero G, which is only one step at a time in determining 8th Wonderland and recognition worldwide.
interspersed with political programs, games, television reports, 8th Wonderland is a mosaic image of its namesake country's population. If ultimately the film resembles the manual The cons-globalization for Dummies , it is extremely entertaining.
However it seems that the entertainment of the viewer is not the only goal by its directors N icolas A lberny and J ean M ach but also a reflection on the power of the Internet and democracy
CP: The film addresses many issues, including globalization in the first place, but also of resistance and direct democracy.
Jean Mach : Yes. It is also one of the advantages of the internet. It is possible to do a survey and have direct results. Make a referendum in a real country, it requires an organization considerable time and resources. On the Internet, connecting, you can very quickly pass a motion and thus see if it is applied or not.
And just watching this film it occurred to me that if 8th Wonderland had several million "residents" only a small nucleus appears in the film, and within that a core small circle is at the forefront with regard to the proposed motions and their application. Cinematic device you answer me, yes it is hardly possible to bring up several million characters in a movie, let alone give them a voice .... as democracy: there is always the dominant emerging.
other hand we can see that voting is a binary yes / no, abstentions are not claiming a penny. While a significant abstention could should question the validity of the proposed motion. Another feature
8th Wonderland interfere in the political world by using radical methods, very radical. For the common good that goes without saying.
So 8th Wonderland uses methods that I describe as "terrorists" for what the majority of its "inhabitants" deems just, or at least a fortnight that appears in the film. Nothing that is different from what makes the CIA in A MERICA L ATINS example. Also in South America that 8th Wonderland involved in election (if I may say). For the good of the country in question, of course.
... Now therefore conclude 8th Wonderland is a film that leaves room for reflection remember to be entertaining and fun. Mixture of small film broke (at least in appearance) for certain scenes, he allows himself, however, the presence of heads of gondolas television, private or public beautiful ecumenism, while treating the appearance hi-tech of 8th Wonderland .
If his approach to politics seems to me naive to any event, the fact remains that it remains a political thriller that mostly friendly and s registrant quite in his time. That the illusion of participatory politics, civic and dematerialized.
