Rojo Amanecer

Rojo Amanecer Red Dawn is a 1989 Silver Ariel Awardwinning Mexican film, directed by Jorge Fons.

It is Wednesday, October 2, 1968, and a middleclass Mexican family is about to start the day. At breakfast, the older brothers, Jorge Demin Bichir and Sergio Bruno Bichir argue with their father Humberto Hctor Bonilla. The boys are studying at the university and their father works at the Departamento del Distrito Federal Mexico Citys local Government. The argument begins when the father complains that the boys have long hair. The argument escalates and then they begin to argue that what the boys are doing is wrong, and that no one should question the government. The boys say that the autonomy of the university was violated and that the government does things against the constitution. Their grandfather Roque Jorge Fegan who fought the Mexican Revolution, says that If they were on a real revolution, they would be executed. The younger siblings Carlos Ademar Arau and Graciela Estela Robles, who study primary and secondary school, barely understand what the argument is all about, because of their young age. The boys then talk about the injustice of the government. Their prime example is the occupation of the U.N.A.M. and that some students hid in the bathroom, and their corpses were found the day before October 1. The mother, Alicia Mara Rojo tries to calm down the situation and tells the boys to come early and cut their hair. The boys jokingly state that Miguel Hidalgo had long hair whether this is true or not is unknown, for no paintings of him alive survive, then leave.The day continues normally and then, while cooking, Alicia and Graciela argue about what the boys are doing. Graciela says that her mother is out of style, then says that she would like to continue studying, to which her mother replies that she will end up being a homemaker anyway. Carlos is getting ready for school while listening to the Beatles, his grandfather complains that theyre too loud and turns the radio off. Humberto tries to call his wife and tells her that something big is about to happen
