Interviews about the movie "En Tierra Extrana"

Hey Charlie, it's been a while since I talked to you.. Nathan told you about the movie we have seen in Spanish about the Spanish migrating to Scotland. Therefore I decided to interrogate my nice comrades who went to see the movie and ask them what they thought of it.

I started with Luna Ruso, she is in terminale ES bachibac.

- "CineHorizonte" did you go to the festival to see any other movies than that one ? / Tu es allé au festival espagnol pour voir d'autres films que celui-ci ?
-Non cette année c'est le seul que j'ai vu

- what did you think of the documentary ? Tu as pensé quoi du documentaire ?
-Je l'ai trouvé un peu long mais intéressant. Cependant j'ai découvert une vérité que je ne voulais pas voir, j'aimerai faire mes études en Espagne et faire ma vie la bas mais vu la situation Du pays je sais pas trop. 
Ce qui m'a le plus attiré l'attention c'était le jeu avec les gants, j'ai trouvé ça intéressant, et ça montre vraiment là situations des immigrés loin de leur terre d'origine.
I thought it was a bit long but interesting. I discovered a truth that I did not wanted to see. I would like to study in Spain, and live there but know I don't really know. What stroked me the most was the game with the gloves, i found it interesting, and it showed the real situation of the migrants far from their home country.

- Did it surprise you you to see an other kind of migration than what we are used to (poor country going to rich country) ? / Ca t'a étonné de voir un autre genre de migration que celui dont ont a l'habitude (pays pauvres qui vont dans les pays riches) ?
-je pensais pas que c'était grave à ce point. Je savais qu'il y avait la crise mais pas à ce point en Espagne, et non mais personnellement j'irais pas en Écosse si je devrais quitter mon pays
I did not think it was that bad. I knew there was a crisis in Spain, but not like this. personally I wouldn't go to Scotland if I had to leave my country.

Then Tiphaine Fradin, which you personally know Charlie

- "CineHorizonte" did you go to the festival to see any other movies than that one ? / Tu es allé au festival espagnol pour voir d'autres films que celui-ci ?
No I only went to see this one because I wasn't aware this festival actually existed 
Non je suis seulement allée voir celui-ci car je n'étais pas au courant que le festival existait.

- what did you think of the documentary ? Tu as pensé quoi du documentaire ?
I thought it was very well done, it really made me understand how migrants from Spain that moved to Scotland actually felt, and why they did it. I could really feel their pain and imagine what it must have felt like to leave a part of their identity behind them because they had no other choice, and to try to integrate themselves in a foreign country, of which they don't even speak the language. 
J'ai pensais que c'était vraiment bien fait, ça m'a fait comprendre comment les emmigrés Espagnols qui ont déménagé en Ecosse se sentait et pourquoi ils l'ont fait. Je pouvais vraiment ressentir leur souffrance et immaginer ce que ça fait de devoir quitter une partie de ton identitée derriere toi parce que ils n'avaient pas d'autres choix. Et essayer de s'intégrer dans un pays étranger, dans lequel ils ne parlent même pas la langue.

- Did it surprise you you to see an other kind of migration than what we are used to (poor country going to rich country) ? / Ca t'a étonné de voir un autre genre de migration que celui dont ont a l'habitude (pays pauvres qui vont dans les pays riches) ?
Indeed I was a bit surprised because although it's going through a major economic crisis, Spain is not considered as a poor country. I knew that some spanish had to move abroad but I didn't know the living conditions and wages were so low, and the unemployment rate so high.


Then Thomas Goirand who is in Terminale ES bachibac

- "CineHorizonte" did you go to the festival to see any other movies than that one ? / Tu es allé au festival espagnol pour voir d'autres films que celui-ci ?
Non en tout cas pas cette année.
No, at least not this year.

- what did you think of the documentary ? Tu as pensé quoi du documentaire ?
Bien, même si on ressort du cinéma pas spécialement gaie. Il m'a bien plus car je ne savais pas du tout que une forte population immigre en Ecosse.

- Did it surprise you you to see an other kind of migration than what we are used to (poor country going to rich country) ? / Ca t'a étonné de voir un autre genre de migration que celui dont ont a l'habitude (pays pauvres qui vont dans les pays riches) ?
Oui et non car je sais que l'Espagne même si c'est un pays développé, il connait pas mal de pauvreté avec un SMIC de 600 euro je crois et aussi beaucoup de chômage. Moi même ayant des parents qui ont immigrés d'Espagne pour fuir la pauvreté, je me suis senti très concerné par le sujet. Mais il est vrais que l'Ecosse n'est pas le pays auquel j'aurai pensé.

And finally Loic, which you already knows

- "CineHorizonte" did you go to the festival to see any other movies than that one ? / Tu es allé au festival espagnol pour voir d'autres films que celui-ci ?
no

- what did you think of the documentary ? Tu as pensé quoi du documentaire ?
Intersting but too repetitive and boring

- Did it surprise you you to see an other kind of migration than what we are used to (poor country going to rich country) ? / Ca t'a étonné de voir un autre genre de migration que celui dont ont a l'habitude (pays pauvres qui vont dans les pays riches) ?
yes it did

Whoaaa how convincing Loic !! I therefore forced him to answer the questions properly:

- "CineHorizonte" did you go to the festival to see any other movies than that one ? / Tu es allé au festival espagnol pour voir d'autres films que celui-ci ?
no

- what did you think of the documentary ? Tu as pensé quoi du documentaire ?
I thought that the movie was exploring a very interesting topic in a most unusual which made it both original and captivating. Although in the end it became a bit too repetitive and long to me.

- Did it surprise you you to see an other kind of migration than what we are used to (poor country going to rich country) ? / Ca t'a étonné de voir un autre genre de migration que celui dont ont a l'habitude (pays pauvres qui vont dans les pays riches) ?
Yes it surprised me to see such a migration patterns as I am not used to seeing people from MEDC go to another MEDC for unemployment reasons. On the other hand, I saw it as normal for the Spanish to organises themselves and help each other in Scotland.

Bye bye now Charlie
