Queimada/Burn!
Having watched Queimada/Burn!, I have no energy to write about another damn film about white guys stuck in the middle of a colonial battle.
However, digamma.net’s crack team of computer science researchers has achieved a feat towards which the field has been struggling for decades - an implementation of Gillo Pontecorvo in a multi-platform scripting language. Without further ado, I bring you pontecorvo.pl:
while (!$socially_relevant) {
print “A bunch of stuff blows up. \n";
print “Boy, this guerilla war sure is more difficult than we thought. \n";
}
print “Colonialism sucked, eh? \n";
By downloading and running this program, aspiring filmmakers can create their own chilling Pontecorvo films, with guaranteed historical significance!
