Abstract

Two films in a 50 years lapse can summarize a great society change. The first, The Graduate, an American film, the second is Relatos Salvajes, an argentinian film. In the first film, a wealthy society wants to insert its young people in the system, with clearly established norms, and young people rebels against the model. In the second film, a consumer society, under the sign of neoliberalism, looses the solidarity relationships among citizens, confronts them and leads them to distrust the State. In this situation, citizens decide to take action on their hands to solve problems that they have not sought, and that demand a solution.
