"Bear Story" is a short film telling about a family of bears. The dad bear of the family creates a putppet show to explaing his life and show what his family went through. In the puppet show you see a bear family of three, mom, dad, and son, sitting at home eating breakfast. That morning the authorities come into the apratment building breating and dragging animals out of there homes and forcing them to join the circus, seperating many of these animals from there families as they did to the dad bear. While in the circus these animals were treated poorly, forced to perform tricks for crowds of people all around the world. During one of the bears perfomances he manages to escape the circus and the authorities. He returns home to a destroyed house and he thought his family was gone, but they end up coming out and the puppet showing ending with all them hugging eachother. The Dad bear goes out onto the streets to show his puppet show to others around and to bring happeniess to them as he did for the little bear that came to watch. In real life he seems to have not got the happy ending of finding his family as he did in the puppet show but he finds joy in bringing others joy and continuing to share his story.
This short film was well portrayed in showing Chilean history and the tough times they went through. In this film it shows the authorities taking over control and harming others with no regards to how it affects the people or there families, this relating to how the government has taken over many times in Chile destroying families and harming people. It also show the harm done to people, all the people outside of the circus dont see any harm being done, just like the Colonia Dignidad, those outside thought it was a nice community of people doing service work when really there was harm and torture being done to those inside as was to the animals in the circus. It shows how those affected by this history will never forget and are here to show and share there stories such as the bear is doing everyday. This film was a visually appealing short film which could also be good for children to watch and make understadning out of it, it was a creative film and also mad a strong statement.
