I have never been able to concentrate on Star Wars: I am distracted by Darth Vader’s cape, imagining the greatest villain in the universe choosing fabrics while he plans the destruction of Alderaan, feeling sorry for the dressmaker who stitches his hem so he doesn’t stumble when he walks around the Death Star. Bad guys have a daily life, although fiction tends to take it away from us because it is considered irrelevant; It is not, it proves it well The area of interest. Nothing overwhelmed me more in pride See you in another life (Disney+) that the moment in which, following buying the backpacks in which the dynamite that would kill 191 people would travel, the supermarket cashier asks the terrorists if they have a Club Card. They didn’t have them, but they did want an invoice. Under what heading are the murderers listed?
The fidelity to the facts of the Disney+ series makes it almost a documentary. I had to check if Pol López was a resident of the Avilés estuary: the Catalan nails the bravado of lack of winch by Emilio Suárez Trashorras, the cowardly boasting of those who believe they are safe. March is early to talk regarding performances of the year, but yours will be among the candidates. Also that of Tamara Casellas, that mother who wants a better life for her children, as long as it does not worsen hers, and Quim Ávila, the adult Gabriel Montoya who bears the decision of those responsible for the series to choose as the protagonist an inexperienced actor. The fact that what Roberto Gutiérrez does is exceptional for a debutant without prior training does not prevent his interpretation from being the weakest, and that being the protagonist does not dull the final result confirms the solidity of the framework.
Among its many successes, I am left with the lack of moralizing desire and the avoidance of justifying, even if it comes dangerously close, Baby’s amorality. He is not a rebel because the world has made him so, but by his own choice. I grew up in a similar neighborhood—and I wouldn’t change it for any other—, Rioturbio, in the mining areas, the Disneyland of drugs in the eighties. There it was just as difficult to get off heroin as it was not to get on; he chased you like a ball Raiders of the lost ark. In each block there were some Montoyas and at the back of each bench a Gabriel was eating pipes, also others who, like his friend, would never have gotten into the Trashorras car. Those were the bravest.
