Machuca

  In Machuca, Gonzalo and Pedro form an unlikely friendship.  Gonzalo comes from a very wealthy family and Pedro comes from a very poor one.  Gonzalo is very pale, which generally means respect, and Pedro is fairly dark.  When the communist government takes over Chile, the boys are put into a private school together.  They soon become friends and spend a lot of time together.  The boys go to different political rallies and sell flags to all the different sects.  The message that can be inferred from this film is the belief that true love and friendship do not take into account skin color or class.  It is that those things are superficial and do not truly matter.
