'This Ken is the bomb. This Ken is explosive. This Ken is atomic. This Ken is to die for. No, it wasn't that complicated to deactivate the biggest promotional artifact of the year. It was enough to infiltrate enemy territory and make that campaign/marketing strategy that has broken the internet to the greatest glory of Barbie in his race against Oppenheimer his own. his own .

The sociocultural polarization of our days, which makes everything go viral, fully reached the films of Greta Gerwig and Christopher Nolan at the very moment that it was learned of the coincidence in the release date of the adventures of the fantastic plastic doll made flesh and the misadventures of the tragic nuclear anti-hero (in Spain brought forward to Thursday July 20, one day before the rest of the world, it is not going to be that the proximity to the election day of the 23rd discourages them from dropping by the movie theaters).

It is the sixth time that he has been under the command of Christopher Nolan

Since then, the fight for the summer blockbuster – there Tom Cruise leads his true mission impossible – has been intensifying with hilarious memes and increasingly witty comments, depth charges on social networks that do not escape rigorous political reading right now : the question is no longer one of comedy or drama, lightness or intensity, but of a commercial product willing to be exploited as a franchise or auteur cinema with unwavering principles, of woke narrative versus lordly discourse. What a mania with having to choose, with how easy it is to embrace the Barbenheimer.

“I can't wait to see Barbie . I love Margot Robbie, I love Ryan Gosling, I want to see them now!” admits Cillian Murphy. “I don't know what the debate is about, the political turra, although it's not that I have an overwhelming opinion about it either. My advice would be for people to go see both, on the same day. If they are good films, that is what the cinema wins”.

nuclear antihero This antii-Ken is fuming. J.Robert Oppenheimer The New York physicist, engineer and philosopher (1904-1967) was one of the great scientists recruited by the US Army for the Manhattan Project, a weapons program developed between 1942 and 1946 from which the atomic bomb would emerge. Oppenheimer has the dubious honor of having been its ideologue. An unfortunate find that he would end up denying. "I have become death, the destroyer of worlds," he would say in 1965.

The Irish actor (Cork, 1976) does not dodge the bulge, or not at all, when questioned about the controversy. And that he has to defend the rival, as the headliner of Oppenheimer . It is the sixth time that he has placed himself under the command of Christopher Nolan, but the first as the absolute protagonist after a string of brilliant supporting roles, from the psychotic Scarecrow of the Dark Knight trilogy (2005-2012) to the anonymous traumatized soldier of Dunkirk (2017). , going through the heir trapped in a dream that is not his from Origin (2010).

“It took me by surprise. Although I suppose that I always wanted to have the main role in one of his films, what actor would not want to work with Chris, especially if he is such a complex, contradictory and, on top of that, iconic character. He is outrageous, ”he says.

"I spent six months preparing myself, which is a long time for a role"

Accustomed to playing complicated personality types ("I'm not interested in heroes or villains, but those who walk the shades of gray that mediate between the two," he says), Murphy seems to have gotten into the skin of Julius Robert Oppenheimer as the one who put a glove The very father of the atomic bomb, watch out there. “I spent six months preparing, which is a long time for a role. He did extensive research, but in the end, the script is the best source, because it all comes out of Chris's head. I know him very well and I trust him, ”he explains.

And then he reveals his method: “The trick is not to get too academic, because it limits you. My job is not to intellectualize the character, but to explore the humanity of him. On the set you are, the director and the actors with whom you have to interact and what counts is the emotional component”.

Well, Nolan, no matter how cerebral it is…

Well, that's your opinion [laughs]. No, seriously, I think he knows how to reflect humanity very, very well. Insterstellar is one of the most emotional movies I've ever seen, tears came to my eyes at the theater.

Did you like 'Tenet'?

Of course.

Did you get it?

No! I'm not that smart [laughter]. There are still people who ask me to explain Origin , and I can't.

This screenplay adapts the book American Prometheus: Triumph and Tragedy by J. Robert Oppenheimer , the 2006 Pulitzer-winning biography of Kai Bird and Martin Sherwin. Knowing how Nolan spends them, it can be assumed that we are not talking about a biopic to use...

Well, not the same, although you will have to wait for the movie to find out.

"This film is going to provoke a lot of questions from the public”

The secrecy that surrounds the film is manual in these times of confidentiality clauses, to be signed at the same time as the contracts. Of course, its director does not miss the opportunity to score goals either, such as those who have already had the opportunity to see it have left the projection "devastated", that the end is going to leave the viewer's head as blown away as in Origin or that it is a horror movie".

With a budget of 100 million dollars, the blockbuster (distributed by Universal after the disagreement between Nolan and Warner Bros., who wanted to release it almost simultaneously in theaters and on the HBO Max streaming platform), was shot shortly after the outbreak of the war in Ukraine.

“The plot takes place especially during the Second World War and it was very strange to turn on the television and watch the news of the invasion, but there comes a time when it is necessary to shake off that burden and stick to what you are going to tell”, Murphy refers. “What makes Chris such a good writer is that this movie is going to raise a lot of questions from the audience, it's going to make them think about history and what's going on in the world today. Or so I hope." Filmed in IMAX, Oppenheimer has managed a lot of theaters that operate with this projection system as a claim for the maximum immersive experience.

Is there still room for films like this among so many franchises, so many saga and so many reboots ?

The way things are, it's inevitable. Large corporations have taken control of the entertainment industry. Capitalism, you know. However, I believe that there are still great storytellers, filmmakers who tell challenging stories, far from the franchise material. Scorsese has just presented new work in Cannes. Tarantino and Paul Thomas Anderson have amazing voices of their own. Let's see, this industry is both art and business, a paradox that makes for strange bedfellows. For my part, I try to align myself with original storytellers who are before the artistic than the commercial.

A quick look at Murphy's career since 1996 will confirm his penchant for independent productions ( The Trench , Disco Pigs , 28 Days Later , Intermission , The Party , the award-winning The Wind That Shakes the Barley and Breakfast on Pluto ), which he deftly combines with pull titles ( Night Flight , Sunshine , In Time , the second installment of A Quiet Place ), not always with a response at the box office, but enough to place it in a privileged position.

He, who was actually going to be a rock star: as a teenager he formed a band with his little brother, Páidi, and they were tempted by Eddie Piller for his then popular Acid Jazz label, although the record contract did not materialize. The Sons of Mr. Green Genes, they were called, like the Frank Zappa song. “Music was my first love. It didn't work out for me as a profession, but it continues to obsess me, it's what gives me the greatest pleasure: playing, going to concerts, clubs… I even listen to Spotify, which is evil and annoys artists, but it's great for discovering things”, he says.

He also supports the underprivileged, especially young people from his native Ireland. Last year she embarked on the Ionbhá project, empathy in Irish, an initiative that aims to promote the so-called wisdom of the soul among students. “It's just something I believe in and I'm very proud of. It has been shown that including empathy in the academic curriculum improves performance, ”he says of this program that seeks international reach hand in hand with Unesco, of which he is a patron.

"The less people know about you, the more believable you are on screen. Maybe it's selfish, but I think I'm a better actor that way."

“If I have also gotten involved, it is because I have two children and I know how difficult it is to be a teenager today. To me it makes perfect sense to support him, but that doesn't mean he's going to wave any flag either. I'm a fucking actor, not a politician. The last thing I want is to blurt out or show what a good person I am, ”tercia.

Oppenheimer, who was a student of religions and was crazy about Hinduism, would surely tell you that this is Dharma, righteousness in the way of life...

Oh thanks. The important thing is to be kind and decent, which is not very fashionable in our society. Look at the policy. Or social networks. Everyone is pushy and rude and makes comments that they shouldn't. That's why I try to keep my kids away from them. But, again, I'm not preaching to anyone, how complicated people's lives are already. I'm lucky, I don't want to be that kind of irritating celebrity, you know.

In case it wasn't already clear, Cillian Murphy hates fame. Complicated for an actor with global star status, a position earned with the Peaky Blinders series for almost a decade. “Their success of him was gradual, quite slow. Hence my life did not undergo a radical change. Luckily, his fans are great. They know I don't like taking selfies and they respect that. Man, if I could, I would make my films and then I would go home, but I understand that this is a business, that you have to talk to journalists and make your work known", concedes the actor, who in 2015 changed the London noise. through the most peaceful Dublin suburbs.

In Monkstown, to the south of the Irish capital, the sea in sight, you can pass, more or less, for any countryman with his wife, the visual artist Yvonne McGuiness (whom he married in 2004), and their children , Malachy (17 years old) and Aran (15). “It is what suits me. One has to be true to oneself, otherwise one is an impostor. And I want to be as honest as he can, ”he says. “The less people know about you, the more willing they are to believe you on screen. I'm still being selfish, but I think I can be a much better actor that way."'

forse per voi saranno pensieri banali, ma come fare per farsi conoscere? ora mi viene in mente questo le persone normalmente non vedono la realtà ma una rappresentazione, una mappa del mondo e li seguono un percorso che continua a ripetersi e formano dei solchi ..ho sorriso.. si io sono un po’ quel sorriso e si formano archetipi e icone e tutti che girano in cerchio questo mi ricorda un film che ho visto molti anni fa! si intitolava.. non sono sicuro: la croce di Sant’Andrea dove dei reduci stavano in un manicomio. uno di loro, voleva sapere se esisteva veramente l’amore. no.. non quello, non quell'amore che è tutto carne, sangue e sudore. neanche quello che spinge un soldato a buttarsi su una bomba per salvare gli altri compagni perché diceva che erano istinti.. o altro, voleva vedere qualcosa che andasse al di la di quello che un essere umano può fare per un altro. ora però mi viene di urlare qualcosa: io esisto. e sono anche oltre quei solchi, sono al di la degli uomini. forse io sono una menzogna! ma non importa come sono, nato o sempre esistito. io sono vivo, forse ..ho sorriso ancora.. e poi ho guardato la lista dei nomi femminili nella home.. e ci sono nomi che suonano bene. mentre la musica continua a scorrere, altra musica. io sono un tipo che se ne sta un sacco di tempo chiuso in casa. già da un po’. e che ogni tanto esce per procurare un po’ di cibo per se, o porto cibo ai gatti che hanno iniziato a vivere vicino casa. ma questa è solo una parte di quello che si vede ed è solo una parte di quello che si vede e che non si vede.. forse mi farebbe bene fare a botte come qualche tempo fa, prendere un po’ di persone e andarci incontro e già mi vedo bello e disteso che mi godo la sensazione del mio viso sul suolo pero ci tengo troppo alla faccia e già me la sono cavata un po’ di volte. sono come un mercante d’arte vendo delle atmosfere, dei simboli al di la di quello che c’è dentro la bottiglia ..ora si che sorrido.. e ci sto credendo! una porta sulla vita, che quello sia il nettare di Dioniso, sì quello sulla mensola di destra intendevo quello! sulla sinistra c'è l'assenzio, credevo che fosse una delle cose più salutari .. l’alcol .. le volte che lo bevo mi fa scorrere la vita dentro mi fa battere il cuore più forte e mi fa sentire il sangue scorrere ahahahah beh in qualche modo mi attraversa, già in qualche modo. anni fa ricordo che ho fatto l’amore con una ragazza siamo andati in un hotel con le porte insonorizzate ogni ora per 5 minuti si sentiva una nostra vicina che urlava (fingeva) e in giro per quella stanza cera qualche immagine sacra lei mi diceva che le prostitute credono molto, questa non la sapevo quell’hotel era economico e così eravamo andati li, adesso ho riso veramente. il riso fa buon sangue l'alcool pure quindi il sakè fa miracoli. oggi sto sentendo di più il mio corpo ma forse è la fame! e il ricordo del sapore del sangue (sono carnivoro) mi sento un po’ come certi vampiri dei libri di Anne Rice! non è poi un gran che ma in alcuni libri ho trovato qualche pagina che mi piaceva molto da uno dei suoi libri hanno tratto: intervista al vampiro. un libro che mi è piaciuto è stato: tecniche di masturbazione tra batman e robin, non parla di sesso tra uomini! l’ha scritto un autore sudamericano che prima aveva fatto: Avevo un amore e ho dovuto ucciderlo non mi viene in mente il nome ne ho letto un po’ di quel libro e mi ha messo una gran tristezza ...la ragazza è uscita dalla chat.. il mondo continua a scorrere lento al di la delle finestre, per fortuna ho un leggero sorriso che sembra non volermi lasciare è da poco ma mi ha sorpreso penso che le persone possano trasmettersi le cose a volte. continuate a scrivere, a leggere o a vivere quello che stavate vivendo. Queste sono delle parole lasciate su una panchina sapendo che ci passerete.. ieri sera ho sentito la belva che è in me, il desiderio di aggredire è accaduto che.. sono passato da un mio amico che abita qui accanto abbiamo iniziato a guardare un film batterfly effect un bambino vive continui vuoti di memoria e per riuscire a non perdersi tra queste assenze incomincia a scrivere dei diari ..diventa grade ma i vuoti di memoria continuano a un certo punto comincia a rileggere quei diari e scopre che così può tornare indietro nel tempo (e poi tante altre cose) comunque in qualche modo può tornare indietro e cambiare gli eventi futuri e tutte le volte che cambia qualcosa cambia il resto del futuro.. il fatto è... che durante quel film ho visto delle cose che hanno riportato a galla dei miei momenti di vita.. ho cominciato ad agitarmi e poi.. è tornata ..in me... qualcosa di cui a volte mi dimentico una specie di belva assetata di sangue di aggressività ma tutto questo mi sapeva di vita io stavo vivendo più di qualche minuto prima c’era qualcosa in me che era rimasto represso ma ovunque fosse stato si era portato dietro una parte della mia vitalità.. comunque, parlando di film, quando mi sono visto i primi film di allen ho capito che avrei potuto portarci tutto nella mia vita perché non c’erano cosi tante differenze a volte.. sto distorcendo un po’ la realtà d’accordo.. comunque i film di allen non mi piacciono più così tanto, ora mi piace quel genere di film.. uff me ne vengono in mente solo di drammatici vivere e morire a las vegas ..the doors e specialmente 'forrest gump” un film nel quale infilavo i ricordi della mia vita da piccolo quando i compagni mi inseguivano.. beh anche in qualcos’altro mi sento un po’ forrest gump (R. non è un film ne un libro è il nome di una ragazza che è qui in tumblr, quando ho visto le foto nel profilo mi sono innamorato un po’ di lei sa di vita! di sesso.. di rinascita ma se vi raccontassi qualcosa difficilmente riuscirei a darvi un'idea) ma stavo parlando del film.. adesso rido di nuovo.. mentre un gatto ha iniziato a dormirmi sulle gambe.

‘A Round of Applause for the Number One Artist on the Planet’: Bad Bunny’s Seismic Yankee Stadium Show Was One for the Books

The Puerto Rican superstar brought the biggest show in the country to New York with a star-studded parade of guests, including Romeo Santos, Jowell & Randy, the Marias, and more.

It almost feels like a cliché to declare 2022 the year of Bad Bunny, because let’s face it: The last several years have been entirely his. Since 2020, the Puerto Rican titan has been the most streamed artist in the world, and every rotation around the sun only makes him a bigger phenomenon. He keeps breaking records and climbing skyward, reaching a place reserved for rare, once-in-a-lifetime stars.

His latest feat? A truly seismic show — one of two back-to-back nights — at Yankee Stadium as part of the World’s Hottest Tour, one of the biggest concert runs in the country right now. Madison Square Garden and Barclays were too small, so gorgeous and glittered-out fans in bunny ears and bucket hats filled the 50,000-person venue as Bad Bunny went through a dazzling, three-hour setlist that hit all the peaks in his career. After an opening DJ set from Diplo, Bad Bunny kicked things off surprisingly early at about 9:15 p.m. He took the stage, leaning back in a beach chair, relaxed and ready to have fun. Then he immediately launched into “Moscow Mule,” the dreamy first cut from Un Verano Sin Ti, the history-making album that keeps boomeranging back to the Number One spot on the Billboard 200 this year. Elated cheers filled the stadium, but the people inside weren’t the only ones listening: Massive crowds flooded the surrounding area, with fans dancing and celebrating outside the security gates, overjoyed that the music was loud and clear enough to travel across multiple city blocks. Entire families and throngs of children packed the nearby Macombs Dam Park to the brim, picnics and Puerto Rican flags in tow. It wasn’t just an event for people who got a ticket; it was one for all of the Bronx. His links there are deep: Bad Bunny famously drove through the borough during his memorable pandemic concert atop a moving van in 2020, and recorded part of his video for “Tití Me Preguntó” there.

And then came the parade of guest stars. Ever since Bad Bunny gave the world a preview of the tour during a remarkable three-night run at El Choli, in his hometown of San Juan, Puerto Rico, people have been looking forward to the surprises and gems he’s planned. Those first shows in Puerto Rico were probably the most legendary, featuring beloved acts such as Tony Dize and Chencho Corleone, rising stars Villano Antillano and Young Miko, indie luminaries Buscabulla and Bomba Estereo, among many more. He shattered the attendance record at El Choli previously set by Metallica, and a night that was broadcasted live on Telemundo also set a new rating record for the network. Still, Bad Bunny found ways to make Yankee Stadium feel profoundly singular, special, and tailor-made, a testament to how much he’s clearly poured into these performances.

First, Corleone came out in a jolt of excitement, joining Bad Bunny for their recent collab “Me Porto Bonito.” A little later, two of reggaeton’s biggest perreo champions, Jowell & Randy, leapt onto the stage for the iconic “Safaera.” They also sprinkled in bits of their own hits, including the Casa De Leones classic “No Te Veo” and Randy’s recent viral jam “23.” Then the thrills continued: The most unexpected moment happened when Dominican bachata king Romeo Santos, who was born in the Bronx, showed up, the screams from shocked fans rising by several decibels. The two of them performed a pitch-perfect version of the brilliant “Volví,” and later Bad Bunny took on Don Omar’s part as Santos began singing 2005’s “Ella Y Yo.” “Que viva el reggaeton y la bachata!” Bad Bunny shouted onstage.

Reggaeton and trap vanguard Arcangel was also featured prominently in the evening, clad in a white bucket hat. He showcased his slippery, inimitable flow and reminded people that he’s been standing behind El Conejo for a long time: Some of their major songs together have included “Tu No Vive Asi,” one of Bad Bunny’s earliest tracks, and the more recent “P FKN R,” from the exceptional album YHLQMDLG. “A round of applause for the number one artist on the planet,” the Puerto Rican veteran yelled to the crowd. María Zardoya, the singer known for the delightful indie band the Marías, also stopped by. Dressed in a shimmering outfit that made her look like she could be starring as an A.I. femme fatale in a sci-fi flick, she sang her parts of “Otro Atardecer” in a gauzy voice, identical to the recording.

If you ever wanted to propose the world’s most dangerous drinking game to a Bad Bunny fan, you’d ask them to take a sip of alcohol whenever the Puerto Rican star said “thank you.” The man was so filled with gratitude, savoring each moment and expressing his appreciation to fans, sometimes multiple times after each song. In particular, he thanked New York for blasting his early hits in 2016 and 2017 when he was breaking through and drawing attention across the music business.

After going back into his repertoire for early tracks, he turned to Un Verano Sin Ti. Describing it as a special album that brought him a lot of joy, he kicked off with the project’s title track. A little later, a small platform the shape of a little island seemed to materialize out of thin air and lowered down onto the stage so Bad Bunny could hop on. Once he did, he floated across tens of thousands of screaming fans like a quickly passing comet. His dedication and stamina was more impressive, given that he wrapped his El Último Tour del Mundo dates not that long ago.

Whether it was old hits or new ones, the audience yelled every word with him. There’s a specific euphoria to screaming Bad Bunny lyrics along with another 50,000 people. Not only are his hits well-constructed, veritable bangers that have marked an era in a short amount of time, the soft heart of every song is filled with a kind of nostalgia and emotion only Bad Bunny knows how to deliver. They’re also imbued with a sense of magic that comes from knowing that not too long ago, the Puerto Rican megastar was a young kid working at a local supermarket. Now, he’s achieved something that is in many ways unparalleled. Looking across the bright lights of the stadium at tens of thousands of Latinos united over what he’s built through endless work and talent felt nothing short of spine-tingling.

Toward midnight, Bad Bunny lit the stadium up, fireworks and pyrotechnics and all, for a brilliant finale that included the electro-heavy “El Apagón” and the merengue banger “Después de la Playa.” The very last scene was Bad Bunny huddled with all of his dancers as they held a massive Puerto Rican flag front and center, bringing everything back to the place that made him.

Visita a El Caire

Darrer dia a El Caire. Retrobem l’Essam per la darrera jornada. Primer visita a la Mesquita de Saladí, del segle XIX. Unes làmpades magnífiques il·luminen les cúpules decorades amb detalls daurats. Les finestres tenen vidres de colors. És sobretot una mesquita turística dedicada Al-Màlik an-Nàssir Abu-l-Mudhàffar Salah-ad-Din Yússuf ibn Ayyub (Tikrit, actual Iraq, 1138 - Damasc, 4 de març de 1193), més conegut simplement com a Salah-ad-Din o, catalanitzat, Saladí, un kurd fundador de la dinastia aiúbida, soldà d'Egipte i de Síria. Aquí les vistes sobre El Caire són extraordinàries i es poden distingir les Piràmides. A hores d’ara, tots estem ‘apiramidats’, o sigui, agenollats davant la gosadia de Keops, Kefren i Micerí. ☺️

Trajecte en autocar. Visita del barri copte. Entrem a l ‘Església de Sant Sergi. Els coptes són els cristians d’Egipte, de la branca ortodoxa que defensa la natura única de Déu. A la pràctica, Sant Sergi és una petita basílica de tres naus amb moltes icones exposades a les naus laterals. Hi ha daurats, però lleus, i sobretot, conté la cova on la Sagrada Família es va refugiar durant un mes per fugir de la persecució d’Herodes.

Més tard anem, ja mig groguis, a dinar a un vaixell atracat al marge occidental del Nil. N’hi ha diversos. Hi anem en un grup de tretze catalans que han viscut aquests dies egipcis amb nosaltres. També una parella, ella santanderina, ell, viguès, que malauradament ha sucumbit als constipats i avui no ens acompanya. Ja som una mica amics tots: hem parlat de gats, de vols en paracaiguda, de compres, del parentiu de cadascú, de les meravelles d’Egipte i més. Ah! I de la calor i de la seguretat (capítol a part).

Acabem de dinar prou bé i fem un tour en autocar. Ens assenyalen els edificis més importants, la ciutat que ha crescut al cementiri des de fa molts anys, les esglésies cristianes als barris benestants (moltes més de les esperades, un 20% de la població és cristiana), els hotels de luxe tocant el Nil, les botigues selectes. El guia nostre ens diu que les botigues de llenceria aquí són molt més agosarades que les del món occidental i que les dones egípcies, un cop a casa, són ‘la bomba’. En dubtem una mica veient-les, algunes, cobertes de cap a peus amb els burkes negres. Hi ha zones d’El Caire ben arbrades i cuidades i altres mig asfaltades, brutes, on la misèria i la brutor es donen la mà. Hi ha cinemes i teatres, la primera òpera del continent africà. Però jo veig Orient Pròxim, no Àfrica , tot i que a Aswan es veien moltes banderes de Bob Marley, em semblen sobretot orientals i mediterranis. El menjar: comença sempre amb Mezze variats d’hummus, baba ganoush, tahini, formatge de cabra, verdures envinagrades i picants. De segon, sempre ens han ofert carn (pollastre, bou, la salsitxa de carn picada o kofta) o peix (llobarro del Nil) a la planxa o barbacoa. De postres, un dia baklava, la resta, fruita fresca.

Acabem el tour en autocar on molts ulls esgotats han tancat les parpelles i anem al mercat Al Khalili. Cal que us informi ara que a El Caire, des d’ahir al matí, ens acompanya un securata en trajo marró i amb pistola apenes dissimulada a la butxaca dreta posterior. No somriu. Ens compacta, ens aparta si veu algun perill i, al mercat, intenta dirigir les nostres passes pero el grup és massa gran i tenim ànimes rebels. Ens desfem d’ell com el James Bond. Està per la nostra seguretat, però no ens agrada molt. Ens toca a tots, homes i dones, a l’espatlla. Observa i mira en totes direccions amb l’ull inquiet.

Bé, pero som al mercat tradicional d’El Caire i trobem tots els souvenirs, totes les samarretes habituals. Hi ha joiers i botigues de catifes i làmpades. Assetgen una mica els venedors però res comparat amb els dels entorns dels museus. A les noies ens diuen Shakira (les rossetes) o Sara Montiel, però a ells no els diuen Manolo Escobar ni Chiquito de la Calzada. No és just.

Cau la tarda i fa la temperatura perfecta. Fem les darreres fotografies i retrobem l’Essam que ens esperava a un cafè. Ens recomana el suc de mango. Alguns avui tenim la panxa en rebel·lió.

I aleshores fem la passejada medieval a peu (divina caminada tranquil·la) per zones pausades on els joves es troben per parlar en grup. Alguns fumen, però pocs. Es veu que la marihuana està estenent-se com a tot arreu, però el tràfic es castiga amb la forca. Amb la forca. Com la violació. Som a carrers sense turistes farcits de mesquites medievals il·luminades amb un gust exquisit. No sé quina és més maca però totes donen vint voltes a la de Saladí del matí. Tothom ha sortit a prendre la fresca i la gent ens observa. Hi ha noies jovenetes que es fan fotos amb nosaltres, altres dones occidentals. El somriure permanent al seu llavis pintats plens d’alegria. Un record melancònic de llum taronja i groga, com de mango.

I la cloenda d’Història: de camí cap al restaurant de luxe i vistes privilegiades (‘Citadelle View’) on soparem, ens aturem en autocar a un punt de l’autopista. A una banda, la tribuna on Anwar El Sadat (antic president egipci) va rebre les 36 bales per part d’un militar que conduïa un tanc. Enmig d’una desfilada, un home va aturar-se, va pujar les escales i es va adreçar al seu davant per disparar. Hi va haver altres morts i ferits. El primer impacte va arribar al coll i va matar de manera fulminant el president. El perpetrador del magnicidi va ser detingut i alliberat al cap d’uns anys. Va reaparèixer a primera línia al costat de Bin Laden. Ja és mort.

El més particular de la historia és que Sadat havia deixat dit que volia ser enterrat devora el monument dedicat al Soldat Desconegut, una piràmide moderna i blanca. Aquest monument era i està situat just a l’altra banda de l’autopista on havien instal·lat la tribuna que va presidir. A la fi, la seva mortalla embolicada en un llenç de lli va travessar els carrils renouers de l’autopista per descansar eternament a pocs metres d’allà on va trobar la mort violenta, la fi trista de qui va voler la pau amb els israelians i va signar el Acords de Pau de Camp David. A internet podeu trobar les imatges, tan impactants. Era l’any 1981.

Finalment, festí delicat i preciós amb vistes llunyanes d’altres mesquites il·luminades. El guia avui sopa amb nosaltres. Darreres preguntes. Ell ens ven un Islam perfecte en una societat ideal on tothom s’ajuda, on les dones viuen amb alegria amb el vel o sense segons la seva voluntat. No ens ho creiem del tot però ha fet tanta bona feina que tots l’acomiadem amb recança a l’entrada de l’hotel, segurament per sempre. Que tingui molt bona vida amb la dona i els tres fills. Inch Alá.

Un capítol a part: la seguretat. S’ha arribat a fer feixuc el nombre de controls que hem hagut de superar a l’aeroport, de fins a tres vegades. També hem passat controls en entrar al vaixell i a l’hotel (que, per cert, algun dia ha oblidat de fer-nos l’habitació) i cada cop que hem accedit a un museu, sovint també a la sortida. Suposo que és el preu de la seguretat.

Risate irriverenti con le vignette satiriche

Le vignette irriverenti, icone incisive della satira, hanno un'origine che affonda le radici nei secoli passati. La storia di queste piccole opere d'arte umoristiche è un viaggio attraverso il tempo, illuminato dalla lampada della critica sociale e politica. Esploriamo il cammino delle vignette irriverenti, dal passato al presente, scrutando il sottile confine che le separa dalla volgarità e analizzando alcune opere che hanno sollevato il sopracciglio della società. La satira nelle prime vignette Le prime forme di satira visuale sono apparse già nell'antica Roma, dove graffiti e illustrazioni sui muri erano spesso veicoli di commenti critici sulla politica e la società. Tuttavia, il vero avvio della tradizione delle vignette satiriche si può rintracciare nell'Europa del XVIII secolo. Artisti come James Gillray e George Cruikshank in Inghilterra, e Honoré Daumier in Francia, crearono vignette politiche che penetrarono nel tessuto della vita sociale e politica del loro tempo. L'irriverenza nelle vignette Ma quando possiamo effettivamente definire irriverente una vignetta? L'irriverenza si manifesta quando la satira supera i confini della convenzione e si rivolge audacemente a temi sensibili o autorità costituite. Questa ribellione umoristica può riguardare politici, istituzioni, tradizioni o tabù sociali. Le vignette irriverenti spesso si caratterizzano per il loro spirito pungente, il sarcasmo e l'uso disinvolto di situazioni paradossali o grottesche. Tuttavia, è importante sottolineare che l'irriverenza non è sinonimo di volgarità. Mentre l'irriverenza sfida il status quo con arguzia e audacia, la volgarità si basa su contenuti offensivi o osceni privi di intenti satirici. Il confine tra irriverenza e volgarità può essere sottile, e la sagacia dell'artista sta nel mantenere un equilibrio che sfidi le convenzioni senza scadere nell'offensivo gratuito. Una vignetta irriverente può essere una forma d'arte potente per far riflettere sulla società, ma il rischio di scivolare nella volgarità è sempre presente. Un esempio di questa sottigliezza si trova nell'opera contenuta nella rivista Charlie Hebdo. Questa rivista satirica è nota per le sue vignette spesso audaci e controverse. Vignette irriverenti che hanno scosso il mondo Alcune vignette irriverenti hanno lasciato un'impronta indelebile nella storia, suscitando scalpore e riflessioni. Una di queste è la vignetta di James Gillray intitolata "The Plumb-pudding in Danger" del 1805, che raffigura il leader francese Napoleone Bonaparte e il primo ministro britannico William Pitt che si dividono il mondo come un pudding natalizio. Questo lavoro satirico giocava con la geopolitica dell'epoca, illustrando in modo umoristico i giochi di potere tra le nazioni. Un esempio più contemporaneo è rappresentato dalla vignetta di Kurt Westergaard del 2005 pubblicata sul quotidiano danese Jyllands-Posten. Raffigurante il profeta Maometto con una bomba al posto del turbante, questa vignetta provocò una reazione globale, sollevando questioni sull'equilibrio tra libertà di espressione e rispetto delle credenze religiose.

Battle Royale (y por qué lo amé tanto)

Terminé este libro hace unas semanas, y me dejó un vacío que realmente no esperaba. Ahora, no digo que sea una gran obra de arte (o tal vez sí, no sé), pero sí que medio que me destruyó emocionalmente lol.

En el mundo distópico de Battle Royale existe cierto estado fascista totalitario, donde sus ciudadanos son controlados en su totalidad, y se considera ‘inmoral’ cosas como el rock (y todo lo que venga del imperio americano): la Gran República del Asia Oriental. Aquí se desarrolla el Programa de Experimentación Bélica N.º 68, el cual con la finalidad de mantener a la sociedad—y especialmente a los adolescentes—bajo control, consiste en secuestrar a 50 clases, una de cada prefectura, y llevar a todos los estudiantes a un lugar aislado para matarse entre todos hasta que solo quede uno. La novela se centra en la clase de la prefectura de Shiroiwa; 42 estudiantes que, pensando que se irían a una excursión escolar, terminaron asesinándose entre sí horas después.

Sí, 42 estudiantes significa 42 personajes que vas a tener que (re)conocer, pero si:

Tienes una buena memoria, o

Decides llevar una lista con las características de todos (como yo)

No te será tan difícil, y en realidad, a los personajes más importantes, en definitiva, no los olvidarás.

Ahora, hablemos de los personajes más icónicos; un ranking totalmente personal que contendrá (tal vez demasiados) spoilers. Donde el 1 es el personaje menos icónico, y el 5 es el icon máximo.

Yukie Utsumi: Si bien su aparición fue —lamentablemente—corta, le tomé un poco de cariño, tenía cualidades de liderazgo—que al final no funcionaron—y en realidad, por el mero hecho de ser la delegada, tenía ganas de conocerla !!! Ahora, no lloré con su muerte, pero sí que fue tan de repente, que me shockeó un millón. En la escena del faro era como que mi corazón estaba yendo a mil, y realmente, no podía parar de leer, qué escena tan buena lpm.

Hiroki Sugimura: El tipo se dio mil vueltas por la isla, y aun así quedó entre uno de los últimos sobrevivientes, cómo no va a ser iconic. En realidad de Hiroki no supimos tanto, pero sí que lo vimos pelear contra Kazuo, el villano máximo, de la forma más épica (o al menos yo así me lo imaginé, lol). Está en mi ranking porque estuvo en muchas escenas icónicas, y se lo merece después de lo que este pobre hombre sufrió. rip.

Takako Chigusa: máxima. girlboss. A Takako me la imagino como la niña más hermosa posible, después de todo, era la más linda de la clase. No es que por ser linda ya sea icónica, no. Lo que la hace icónica es ESA escena: cuando mata a Kazushi Niida. Nunca pensé que llegaría el momento en que medio que disfrutaría la muerte de un personaje, pero damn. No hay forma de explicar esa escena con palabras, más que decir que es violenta y malditamente dolorosa, de eso estoy segura. Para colmo, su última escena con Hiroki, me destrozó el corazón por completo, y me hizo pensar en ella hasta el final.

Shinji Mimura: cómo más definir a Shinji, si no es como un genio. Este tipo descubrió tantas cosas !!! creó planes maestros !!! para terminar siendo asesinado de la forma más injusta. Shinji se siente como ese tipo de persona en el que puedes confiar, con el que sabes que las cosas van a estar bien—aunque al final, no fue tan así—. El hecho de que intentó hacer explotar una bomba en la escuela donde estaba Sakamochi y no llegó a cumplir su cometido??? qué maldita rabia. Lejos, una de las mejores frases es de su muerte:

“Y así fue como murió el muchacho conocido como El Tercer Hombre”

5. Shogo Kawada: abran paso al real protagonista de este libro.

Sinceramente, estuve dudando de él casi todo el libro. Shogo se destaca por ser el único que sabe qué está pasando realmente, porque, es de hecho, el ganador del Battle Royale del año pasado en la prefectura de hyogo !!! En cuanto a que ésto fuera inesperado y un gran plot twist: no lo fue. En realidad, creo que eso era lo que me hacía sospechar de él toda la primera mitad del libro; que era raro, y sabía DEMASIADO.

Shogo es para mí el personaje más memorable, por eso es mi iconic boi.

La escena final con Sakamochi???? Lo amé. Para cuando sucedió el gran momento... Cuando Shogo fallece luego de escapar. Lloré. Y no solo cuando sucedió, sino que lloré todo el resto del libro; y a cada. mención. de Shogo. seguí llorando con más fuerza. It wasn't fun.

Shogo te quiero mucho 😭

Mención especial a Shuya y Noriko, que siguen escapando hasta el día de hoy, i guess? lol. Me hubiese gustado que Noriko tuviera un rol más principal, como girl icon absoluta, pero no lo sentí así y es una de las cosas que más lamento :-(.

La verdad me demoré mucho tiempo en terminar este libro por completo, pero me alegro mucho de haberlo hecho. Aunque es bastante violento, no se queda solo en eso; te hace sentir conectado con los personajes. Sufrir sus muertes, aunque nunca les hayas llegado a conocer realmente más allá de este suceso, pero son súper entrañables. No me gustaría imaginar un escenario en el que tenga que vivir algo así, porque es realmente una gran pesadilla, para quedar al borde de la locura.

Aunque suena terrible la idea de tener 42 personajes que conocer, tiene una explicación clara, y es lo que hace funcionar a esta novela (o eso creo yo, al menos). Tienes a una variedad de personajes, todos diversos, que reaccionan de diferentes maneras, desde el matar a tus compañeros de hace años, o suicidarte con tu gran amor.

Aunque siento que fue más un rant que cualquier otra cosa, estas son las razones por las que le doy

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars

a Battle Royale.

Los Tigres del Norte Documentary

A Los Tigres del Norte documentary will soon premiere on Prime Video, and its nearly three-minute trailer was released this week. Coined Los Tigres del Norte: Historias Que Contar, the film captures everything from the Mexican group’s humble beginnings to its challenging road to success, and ultimately becoming one of Regional Mexican music’s biggest acts.

Puerto Rico’s Dia Nacional de la Zalsa

Dia Nacional de la Zalsa returns to Puerto Rico for its 38th edition, featuring a promising lineup of salsa music icons and newcomers, such as Willie Rosario, Andy Montañez, Charlie Cruz and Luis Vazquez. This week, a press conference held in La Isla del Encanto revealed that Vazquez, a former Billboard Latin Artist on the Rise, becomes the festival’s youngest headliner and is set to receive a special award at the event. Dia Nacional de la Zalsa (National Salsa Day) will start at 10 a.m. local time on Sunday (June 12) at the Estadio Hiram Bithorn en San Juan.

Billboard‘s Latin Pride

This week, Billboard kicked off its annual Latin Pride series with emerging rapper Villano Antillano, who talked about reshaping her male-dominated genre as a trans artist. “There is no tolerance for women like me in the genre I have forcibly inserted myself in,” she told Billboard. “To say there is would be a delusion and an attack on the works of queer people everywhere who consume said genre.” Also this week, Villano unleashed her fiery and unapologetic “BZRP Music Session” helmed by Argentine producer Bizarrap (watch it below). Billboard’s Latin Pride will highlight more LGBTIQ+ music stars in the coming weeks.

- Perché è un bravo ragazzo! Perché è un bravo ragazzo! Perché è un bravo ragazzo… nessuno lo può negar!

2020 - Che succede?

1929 - Come che succede? È una festa! T’abbiamo organizzato una festa di addio!

2020 - Per me?

1929 - Certo sciocchino, per chi altri? Sei contento? Un po’ di chinotto?

2020 - Fa schifo il chinotto.

1929 - Lo so, è in tuo onore.

2020 - Ma… ma io ho solo combinato una serie di disastri uno dietro l’altro.

1929 - Ed è per quello che ti festeggiamo! Entri a far parte del club!

2020 - Che club?

1929 - Gli anni più brutti della storia. Io sono 1929, l’anno della Grande Depressione.

2020 - Piacere.

1929 - Non è hai cinque euro?

1348 - Duemilaventi! Fatti abbracciare! Dai, fra positivi, che ti vergogni? Non dirmi che non mi riconosci…

2020 - Con la maschera non…

1348 - Sono l’anno della peste! E, lasciamelo dire, un grandissimo fan del tuo lavoro. Devi assolutamente raccontarmi come sei riuscito a fargli mangiare sto pipistrello, perché qua abbiamo scommesso eh? Ai tempi miei, figurati, si lavavano col fango era facile, ma il tuo è stato un colpo da maestro. Sei il Del Piero della pandemia globale.

2020 - Io non volevo… non sapevo che…

1943 - Avete sentito? Il ragazzo è anche umile. Piacere, 1943. Su, su non è il momento di fare i modesti.

2020 - Non stavo facendo il… perché sei in pigiama?

1943 - Secondo te?

2020 - Oh mio dio.

1943 - Qui siamo tutti tuoi ammiratori, ti abbiamo seguito con grande attenzione per l’intero mandato. È incredibile quello che sei riuscito a fare in appena dodici mesi. Incendi, malattie, rivolte.

2020 - Ho pure cacciato Trump, però.

1943 - Ma dai, lo sai che hai fatto esattamente il contrario. E sei pure riuscito a far dirigere a Nolan un film di merda. 2014 c’era andato vicino con Interstellar, ma tu ti sei superato.

2020 - Ma io non ho mai…

1968 - E quella trovata ingegnosa di ammazzare icone benvolute da tutti? Che colpo di genio. E te lo dice uno che ha fatto fuori un Kennedy e un Luther King. Che vuoi fare adesso, piantiamo una palla in testa al Gabibbo? Investiamo sulle strisce Bebe Vio? Chiamami, conosco le persone giuste.

1915 - Quello che ti manca, secondo me, è una guerra. Una bella guerra mondiale. È un po’ tardi, ma se ti metti sotto ce la fai. Io ho perso un po’ di puntate, la Germania c’è ancora?

2020 - Sì.

1915 - Bomba, allora metà del lavoro è già fatto!

1348 - Ma vi ricordate gli incendi in Australia?

1943 - E le rivolte a Hong Kong.

1968 - Beirut.

1915 - Cyberpunk.

1929 - E quando pensi che abbia esaurito ogni perversa nefandezza, tac, ti piazza il Milan primo in classifica.

536 - Buoni, buoni! Lasciatelo respirare!

2020 - E tu chi saresti?

536 - Il 536, l’anno peggiore dell’umanità. Eruzioni vulcaniche, inverno perenne, fame, carestia, epidemie e guerre. Nominane una e io son riuscito a ficcarcela dentro. Ma tu amico mio, tu ti sei dimostrato un anno veramente schifoso. Perciò ti conferisco ufficialmente la medaglia di annus horribilis. 2001, per cortesia cedi la medaglia.

2001 - No! È mia!

536 - Ne abbiamo già parlato.

2001 - Ma le torri!

536 - Ancora con ‘sta storia. Dai, hai avuto il tuo momento e adesso in prospettiva sembri solo un anno qualunque. Passala a terminator qui.

2020 - Non mi piace terminator… non mi piace proprio per niente…

536 - Sai cosa facciamo io e te uno di questi giorni? Uno di questi giorni usciamo a berci qualcosa e facciamo la conta dei morti. Che dici?

2020 - Ma è spaventoso.

536 - Esatto.

2001 - Duemilasettecentocinquantatré esclusi i dirottatori.

536 - E basta un po’ 2001! C’hai il Signore degli Anelli al cinema, prendi la tua roba e vai fuori dai coglioni!

2020 - Io… io… scusate eh, posso dire una cosa?

536 - Devi, ragazzo mio. È la tua serata!

2020 - Io non l’ho mai voluto.

536 - Cioè?

2020 - Non ho mai voluto fare male a nessuno, non ho mai voluto niente di tutto questo. E adesso ci sono tutti questi commenti, gli insulti, i meme da due soldi e la voglia generale di dimenticarmi, di andare avanti... è troppo. Non ce la faccio. L’idea di passare alla storia come un anno spaventoso è… atroce. Io ci ho provato, vi giuro che c’ho provato a fare l’anno. A essere indimenticabile per i motivi giusti, ma non ci riesco. Non so farlo. Perché, scusate, voi sapete fare tutto? E allora mi sento un fallito, mi sento di aver tradito la fiducia di chi contava su di me.

Mi dispiace, mi dispiace tanto. Per tutto, per i morti, per la malattia, per i lavori persi, per la distanza, mi dispiace per quelle cazzo di insopportabili forme di cordoglio su internet. Mi dispiace per il fatto che tutti ci siamo resi conto che il sistema ci vuole forti, ma non ci tutela quando siamo deboli. Mi dispiace per gli antivaccinisti, per i negazionisti e per Lorenzo Tosa. Mi dispiace per il revisionismo storico, il capitalismo etico e l'informazione emozionale. Mi dispiace per essere stato un anno di santi e mostri, di eroi e merde, un anno incapace di mezze misure. Mi dispiace, soprattutto, di non essere stato all’altezza dei vostri propositi, delle vostre ambizioni, dei vostri sogni.

E poi penso che, cristo, ci sarà qualcuno lì fuori che quest’anno, nonostante tutto, s’è innamorato, ha avuto un figlio o… non lo so, ha trovato un lavoro, un amico, s’è sposato, ha scoperto qualcosa di sé, ha realizzato una cosa bella. E magari adesso si vergogna perché è circondato da morte e sfiga e delusioni, perché sono stato un anno di merda per tanti ma non per lui. E forse, imbarazzato, mi ricorderà con affetto, persino con gioia. Lo so che sembra impossibile, ma magari succede.

1929 - …

1943 - …

1348 - …

536 - Grande!

1348 - Fenomeno!

1929 - Pure il discorso di ringraziamento è riuscito a rovinare! Ma come fai? Come fa? Tutto quello che tocca! Genio!

2020 - No! Io non… io volevo dire che…

536 - Ma tu sei sprecato a fare l’anno, dovevi fare il decennio, il secolo. Adesso vai, goditi la festa, socializza un po’, magari finisce che ne ammazzi ancora qualcuno prima della fine. Dai che scherzo! E fammelo un sorriso! È una festa! Un po’ di musica per cortesia!

2020 - …

2021 - Ehilà.

2020 - Ehilà.

2021 - Brutta serata?

2020 - La più brutta della… aspetta, tu che ci fai qui?

2021 - Mi ambiento.

…that's great it starts with an earthquake…

Terminator Dark Fate Analysis Mexico Edition

Welcome to the Terminator Dark Fate Analysis Mexico Edition, where I’m going to dissect, comment and give my constructive criticism at every reference, landscapes, locations and well, everything that goes Mexican in this movie of ours.

First things first: I just realized the version delivered to the mexican theaters is DIFFERENT to the rest of the world, why? Because the characters who originally speak Spanish are DUBBED AGAIN, like double dubbed. So ironically, in Mexico we couldn’t get to hear precious things like “no mames”, WE WERE DAMN ROBBED.

OK HERE WE GO:

That bridge is sending me, it really looks like a bridge from here or vial distributor like they call it in a more elegant way.

No, forget it. That kind of bridge doesn’t exist here but nice try, I appreciate that.

Here’s where something really funny starts because what they say doesn’t match with the subtitles at all hahaha

The girl says “no mames” and it’s subtitled to “Oh my God” AND it was dubbed as “No inventes” hahaha this can’t be...

And here, the guy says “yo siento lo mismo”, it’s subtitled as “I feel it too” which is accurate but when they dubbed it they went with “¿y esos ojos?” lmao

Can’t forget to mention this ICONIC scene, of course.

The moment when the cops arrive reminds me of the meme where there’s some thiefs robbing something and the cops are asleep but there’s someone naked or doing something else and a fucking troop arrives, here is one example of the meme I’m talking about:

kidnappers - cops asleep, thiefs - cops asleep,narcos - cops asleep,an old lady selling flowers - the fucking troops.

"¿Qué le pasó a tu amiga, wey?" the cop saying this hahahsha lmao like I said WE WERE FUCKING ROBBED.

The girl saying “qué pedo wey” when they’re arresting her hahah, I actually predicted at least one “que pedo” would be said in this movie and finally I can see my prediction turned out to be true #SamPatchVidente

The casa de papel guy aka the cop is going to be beaten the shit out for wanting to take Grace to the ministerio publico.

Cops getting beaten the shit out of them: oil on canvas

And here’s the first mistake: the patrols have signs saying “policia municipal” and “cdmx” (Mexico City). In real life that’s impossible as “policia municipal” (municipal police) is one thing and “cdmx” is a totally different city, patrols can’t have both things but hey, the design is spot on.

"Eso estuvo padrísimo wey" hahsha lmao this time I prefer the dubbing where they go with “eso estuvo padrísimo, güera”, cause I like when they call Grace güera.

Never in my life I imagined I’d be alive to see this piece of art: Mackenzie with “Sí señor” playing in the background. The first time I saw this I was losing my shit even more cause Mackenzie was somewhere in the same room, probably watching the scene too. This is so powerful, wow.

This is sending me hashaha, in the dubbed versión the guy shouts at her “pinche gringa ratera” (fucking gringa thief or something) and it’s translated to “Go to hell lady” come on hahahaha so I prefer that over the original version, damn it I wish I could have a hybrid version of this cause is gold.

The heroic CDMX, fuck yessss! I would have loved to see the Popocatepetl. I’d like to think the suavicrema is in the background, so maybe is Chapultepec?. So what is a suavicrema? Could be like a brand of ice cream wafer and that tall building in the background looks like one, lol. Omg, ok I’ll stop.

Next: we can see doña pelos in here cooking her food. Doña pelos or doña lupe is how we call every lady who sells food in the street, so for practical effects this lady is doña pelos.

Here’s the proof we call them like that:

It translates: “So doña pelos is taking marketing courses” cause she’s using an Adobe logo to promote her food of the day, which is “adobo de cerdo” hahaha

Let’s move on.

No, it’s not “do you want your tamal”, it’s “tortita de tamal” aka the famous guajolota, that’s what she’s asking. A guajolota is “a sandwich composed of a tamal placed inside a bolillo or telera, which is a rounder version of a bolillo.” Yes, I got it from Wikipedia, don’t judge.

Also, a lady selling garnachas (like quesadillas, etc.) AND tamales? That’s new.

She also sells mangos? Wowowowow that’s versatility.

And “le robo un manguito” “can I steal a mango?” Dani, you have to pay for that, you can go to jail for like 30 years, I’m serious, remember the meme of the cops?

Someone said she may be a prostitute and I can’t even…so you can’t dress with whatever you want? But also I’m a little suspicious and she actually may be one depending on what zone is Dani supposed to live.

A pink cab! I thought it was a Nissan Tsuru because they always are but this time it’s not. Missed opportunity, production design team.

“Let’s put Frida Kahlo to emphasize this is Mexico, what a good idea , why not?”

Multifamiliar o vecindad? we're about to find out.

Why does she have a bike hanging on the wall? Is that a thing?

The fruit on the table, the vase, and the squared table cloth, that evoked things in me.

About the music: I mean, it’s okay they put latin music but I am fucking sick to death of this Bomba Estereo song, I fucking hate it. There, I said it.

147 likes, that’s how excited the guys who think they’re Dj’s or something are when they upload things to soundcloud.

One thing I don’t understand is: if they live in Mexico City, why are they talking in english now? Did I miss something?

Never seen anyone in my life name a dog “Taco”, only “Chilaquil” but that’s another story.

Arturitooo from la casa de papel! or how I like to call him: el cñor <3 (it means señor but with a c because it sounds the same).

Interestingly, now there are two actors from la casa de papel appearing here hahaha

LMFAO that’s a flagrant fucking typo: “tomalito” hahshaha that’s an unforgivable mistake. It’s “tamalito” obviously.

Now, what’s up with the serape blanket on the wall? Hahaha we call them sarapes but come on, we’re not like that…well yeah but no… It would have been funny if the serape had a drawing of the last dinner hahaha that would have triggered childhood memories.

The cñor from la casa de papel is going to the imss for his medical check up. Imss is a horrible public health institution but that’s what we have so…

Ok, this is GOLD: the serape blanket, a picture of la Virgen de Guadalupe, the couch covered with sheets and ANOTHER serape blanket, the sewing machine hahaha they missed the calendar from the fruit store or the butch shop, damn haha

Did taco survive? I guess not :(

Also when Diego sings: Y’all, you could have saved some good money by picking up another song, I mean, it’s a beautiful song by Juan Gabriel but I heard it was very expensive and now in retrospective you could have saved something in this little simple thing.

So it’s a vecindad I guess.

And how did they hang the clothes in the middle? :v Can these people fly? That would be a Mexican super power to take advantage of the maximum possible space.

Un viejo encueradooooo, tápese cochino.

A green bussssss!!! We call them microbuses and the location gives me historical downton vibes because of all the people in the street.

Oopppp another pink cab, I love it.

I am the only person on this planet who is excited to see those microbuses in this movie, yes I am.

I FINALLY KNOW WHAT THE ROUTE OF THE MICROBUS SAYS! It says "LAGO DE GUADALUPE, E. ZAPATA" WHICH IS INCORRECT HAHAHAHA. Also, the man with the hat hahaha it’s Mexico City not Monterrey.

Lago de Guadalupe is not in Mexico City and “E. Zapata” maybe is the subway station but they’re absolutely not close to each other, well let’s move on.

The casa de papel guy aka Dani’s dad is speaking with a heavy spanish accent tbh

And... Goodbye Mr. casa de papel :(

They make it look as if everybody works there, it’s not a little town, you know?

Why the fuck is an employee riding a bike inside the factory? I don’t get it.

When diego says "chale" hahaha same.

"Un robot, que chido eh" hahaha chido and it’s subtitled as "it's cool" adjka god help me please.

El señor Sánchez represents me.I mean, there was a little bit of criticism because all the mexicans represented here are white but hey, try looking for someone who looks like a mexican in damn Europe, they did the best they could.

Aaaagain: if they are in Mexico City, why the hell are they talking in english? I’ll never understand.

Typical police guy distracted with the damn phone, yes we are in Mexico.

That policeman looks like Burt Reylonds (?)

Wish Grace would’ve arrived in that microbus hahahaha

That microbus is weird, nope I don't know her.

That microbus has the same route as the previous one but it has something else under “E. Zapata”, like “Tecnologico” or something like that, ooofff maybe it’s Tecnologico de Monterrey hahaha that college is kinda near Lago de Guadalupe so haha ok, let’s keep going.

Another distracted cop, my Mexico.

I love how Grace beats cops everywhere, this is an irrelevant scene for this analysis but I just love it so much.

Back to the factory: "Qué hace aquí tu jefe?" jasjdd "que haces aquí, jefe", the slang is on point here haha

"Olvidaste tu comida mijo" jasdjkhd

"Me quieren reemplazar por esa pinche máquina" apparently translates to a "they’re replacing me with that damn machine" jaksdj at least put a “fucking” or something.

Again that heavy spanish accent with that deep voice, hmmm

I’m going to ignore the Factory fight because there’s no Mexican stuff here.

Well, Diego and Dani keep saying “vámonos” and they don’t fucking leave haha

“GET IN” and Dani saying "ya güera ya güera" jakdhakjd I love her

Pink cab is saved from being destroyed by Grace.

Here comes the policía municipal to spoil everything.

Ok, my theory is they are in the limits of Mexico City and the metropolitan area aka the state which is also a kinda not very good looking place and omg hahaha I love that.

Here’s when Diego slips an almost inaudible “no mames”, I know I heard it.

And well, THANK YOU GOVERNOR OF MEXICO CITY BECAUSE THE PATROLS ARE NOT THE SAME COLOR AND THEY’RE NOT ACCURATE ANYMORE, THANK YOU FOR SPOILING EVERYTHING.

These are our patrols now:

Ugh.

Noooo the tacos :( this really hurt a lot.

This is where I think they enter a highway called “circuito exterior mexiquense” that effectively connects the metropolitan area of the state with Mexico City and I LOVE IT. I love everything, do I?

Also some say the Rev-9 is driving a snow plow truck, is it? The only time it has snowed in Mexico City was in 1967, a long time ago.

Everything is screaming “circuito exterior”, yes I’m getting those vibes and I’m here for it.

Another pink cab is seen. Fun fact: because of its pink and white colors, we call them “hello kittys” and before that they were like wine color and gold so we called them “iron man”.

“FASTER GO FASTER” Grace: “shut the fuck up, dummy” and giving looks that could kill.

Hahahaha those license plates are so damn old and they say “Chihuahua” and “Guanajuato” ahaha doesn’t make very much sense.

The car of my friend hahaha

The truck behaving like my friend’s car.

Here’s where as a mexican citizen who used to drive every day in that highway, I detected some continuity details in the pursuit scene:

ROAD SIGN 1: Nextlalpan/Jaltenco haha on the opposite side of the road.

ROAD SIGN 2: Querétaro/Toluca/Tultitlán on the right side they’re driving

ROAD SIGN 1 again: first mistake fellas, now the sign is in the lane where they’re driving.

ROAD SIGN 3: Ecatepec/Texcoco, how do I know? I just do.

ROAD SIGN 4: This is my fave because in this one there's my shitty town hahaha SALIDA LECHERIA-TEXCOCO AV.JOSE LOPEZ PORTILLO Y COACALCO hahaha

It really looks like the circuit, I drive there a lot of times and Grace was there, destroying everything :')

ROAD SIGN 4: My fave sign now is on the opposite side, mistake number two.

Each and every one of the times I went to the theaters to watch this movie, in this scene everyone was like "ohhhh what? omg nooo"

ROAD SIGN 4: Mistake number 3, the sign of Lecheria is shown again when the Grace truck had already passed there on the other side of the road.

ROAD SIGN 2: There's again the sign of Queretaro/ Toluca/Tultitlan when Grace's truck has already driven over there.

ROAD SIGN 5: Toluca/Lago de Guadalupe, remember? Lago de Guadalupe, just like the microbus route sign.

ROAD SIGN 5: Just because I love to see Mackenzie with those signs in the background hahaha

Anyway, the circuito exterior mexiquense is a fucking mess and of course I love it.

Dani, I wouldn't go to the police either, they’re a bunch of useless idiots and I'm sure they would blame YOU for everything and get you into jail for 40 years.

Really bitch? RECETA MEDICA AJSDKASDK he's asking her for a prescription lmao her face I can’t...

Also I always wondered how Grace understood the pharmacy guy but now I know that in the version brought up here, this guy was dubbed to spanish while in the original version he spoke english, those little differences and I’ll never understand why they did it.

Typical guy filming the mess hahaha

"Qué pasa güera" traduced to "what the hell", nice (not actually)

That looks like a little town but God knows where is it, eww

Sure, we all have an uncle who is a coyote (no, not true). We call them polleros, not coyotes but whatever.

"Ojalá ustedes no fueran tan blancas" "I wish you two weren't so white" hasjdaj Love it.

So they're going to the famous BESTIA (beast), that's the nickname of the train because it's so huge.

I'm laughing hard because in some sites they called this scene "train station scene" hahaha this is everything but a train station haha ffs

Fun fact: I see that train everyday just without migrants, I think they ride the train in other certain places. This is a pic a took of the real bestia:

LOS HEROES TECAMAC JAJAJAJAJA lmao lmao I can't fucking believe it jasjdkaja the little shitty town close to mine LOVE IT

Ciudad Valles jaskdja

Ciudad Victoria.

China??? wtf now that's just random places.

EDIT: Someone replied to his post and told me it’s a place in Nuevo León and yes it is, CHINA, Nuevo León Mx. close to Ciudad Victoria AND LAREDO. And this means I don’t know my country enough. Gracias @vickysan24

Is this supposed to be Guanajuato? when on earth they went to Guanajuato? I need to talk to Sonja Klaus asap

Mackenzie saying "hola" is one of the best things that could've ever happened to me.

ahhh the food jasjdja has a lemon in it, I don't know, could be sincronizadas? hahahsha I think it’s eggs and beans with pico de gallo.

Mastering the skill of grabbing the tortilla like a spoon, nice. She has my seal of approval.

cartel de Sinaloa... really?! I really don't know what to think about this one...come the fuck on.

So that's how they cross huh, they keep putting walls but people always will find a way.

La migra got them:(

I’m going to do a big skip here. The border patrol and the detention center are next and key in the story but I don’t really know how can I bring something new in this analysis, maybe I’ll try later.

Next: When they find Carl.

For a looong time I really thought those beers were Corona and now it turns out they weren’t, sad day but oh well there are much better beers out there, so... *nail polish emoji*

Is that... MOLE DE LA COSTEÑA???? JAJAJSJAJD Did you think I wasn’t going to see that?! That’s a great product placement.

And another picture of la Virgen de Guadalupe.

I'm far from being an expert but i'm not sure if we drink beer like that, with the lemon in the bottle.

Another beer? Yes, thank you.

Even Grace is not sure if beer is drank in that way.

But beer with lemon and salt is everything, I admit it.

Ok, fast forward, no mexican things until the very end;

"Mataste todo lo que quería cabron" jsadkhdjha what a delight! and it’s been translated to "you took everything I had, bastard" lmao yeah, right. Sounds better in spanish, obviously.

Yes people, only a mexican can throw herself to a Terminator and fight with it with her own bare hands.

And to finish this deep analysis, I want to point the great originality (sarcasm on) they had with some character names: Diego Boneta is Diego, Alicia Borrachero aka Carl’s “wife” is called Alicia and at some point the Rev-9 is called Gabriel, like hmm ok, I remember Diego Boneta’s character was rumored to be named Miguel but yeah it was just a rumor. Ohhh and the lady selling tamales her real life name is yes, you guessed it: Mona.

If you’re reading this, I want to thank you for getting this far, for taking your time and I hope this “little analysis” helped you to understand some things better about the movie that maybe you’ve missed in your viewings or to discover new things about Mexico. Did I miss something? Let me know what you think.
