During the university and Marketing preparatory classes always said that the needs and tastes lay hidden within the consumer and the picture before passing through the liquid developer, needed a little boost to get out those needs or interests afloat. All this comes up because I saw yesterday, after many years, Cinema Paradiso. I had forgotten many details of the film that connected me to see them and identified with Salvatore; between them and the reason I write this the fans, even the love of cinema.
capacity inventive, illustrative of "Toto" a child restless and very alert for his age who poured all their energy in the film: Humphrey Bogart, John Wayne, Clark Gable, Greta Garbo, Chaplin, Kirk Douglas, Jane Fonda, Sean Connery , all peers in childhood, a childhood marked by the absence of a parent, but compensated by a kinescope and Alfredo, the projectionist of the movie reminded me as I ventured, perhaps by accident or imitation , the world of celluloid.
not remember which was my first film, but I remember my dad have on their bookshelves [in a vast library, now outdated and dusty in Papantla] film books: The Hollywood Story, The MGM Musical Story , Sheets, Film: Cine Mexicano Chronicle and many more. I remember spending hours flipping through those books in English, unintelligible my 5 years, looking for photographs of the films that caught my attention from a very young and still do to date: , 1989 Batman and Superman 1978. While there have been my first films, if they were those that marked my childhood.
As an avid consumer of movies, my father led me by my age unexplored ways: The Untouchables, The Godfather, Bourne Identity, Spartacus, Ocean of Fire, Ben-Hur, The 10 Commandments Instinct [in due time ] Dances with Wolves, Robin Hood, Lawrence of Arabia, Lobo , etc., in short action and epic stories.
On the other hand, my mom, catalytic dreams, hobbies and general culture inculcated took me to see in film Ninja Turtles, The Lion King , all of Batman and countless titles rigor for an infant . At home and thanks to Telecable, Russia's Sunflowers, To Kill a Mockingbird, Kolya, Doctor Zhivago, Stradivari, Life is Beautiful , etc., all the benevolent side, romantic and soft-erotic movies.
On my own and thanks to my cousins \u200b\u200band saw the cable TV Barbarella, Dick Tracy, Star Wars, Kill Bill, Spawn, South Park, A Clockwork Orange, The Shining , and all kinds of movies Saturday morning in Cinema Platinum, Golden Choice, TNT and even the first pornos. By then, the film was not for me nothing more than mere entertainment, something to spend a rainy afternoon at home with popcorn and candy.
My preparation went away from the film and immersed in music and how the early years of the University, except the exceptions of rigor: Batman Begins, Superman Returns, Spiderman, Taken, Transformers, among others.
was not until I met my Master Advisor "de-con-PhD thesis-in-Spain" and their numerous references in the film class, my perspective changed from the hand of a man: Ingmar Bergman [a citase as my teacher in a lecture at "a boring film of a man's confrontation with death."]
The Seventh Seal, Wild Strawberries, Autumn Sonata, Fanny & Alexander, Persona, Through the Glass, and recently Zarabanda [his last film] surfaced in me, which liquid on photo paper, a mixture of feelings [Autumn Sonata made me mourn the Seventh Seal and reaffirmed my faith] and such a longing to see more, learn more, go without taking off my chair, indulge my senses with a movie ...
unemployment, because today I get to see " Hard Goodbyes: My Father "and chance " The Little Shop Of Horrors " with young Jack Nicholson but I leave a sentence Bergman's own external and my other house, fine person, recently:
"No expression of art passes our conscience as a filmmaker, going directly to our feelings, deep and dark of our souls "
