I just saw a movie in Film and Arts of the genre called "black humor" is with Pierce Brosnan and Greg Kinnear. I have to admit that it is done well, but I realized she no longer know the world.
The story could have been interesting: it develops an encounter between two men: one is a young businessman, Danny (Kinnear), whose life has been marked in recent years by bad luck and even tragedy, but in general has a "normal" life and a loving wife. The other is a glamorous assassin who loves his work and has the walking rhythm of the victors. The sudden friendship between them develops streams of alcohol in a luxury hotel in Mexico. prosaic An event triggers a crisis in the life of hitman Julian (Brosnan) is a birthday and no one to celebrate with him the names in your phonebook to indicate known or remember him. It sadly comes to the hotel bar and talk to a stranger who turns out to be Danny. In the days following discloses, as a feat exciting, their way of life. Even his profession like that of a matador which states that the beast dies in the dignity of struggle, and she is just the act of killing a person. He says a human settlement gives "nobility" to the victim. Danny is between espeluznado and enchanted.
Make it clear that I consider the race as a sad spectacle. But one must admit that having the support of a philosophy of combat. Francis Wolff says "The bull is not treated as a beast that can kill harmful nor as the scapegoat we have to sacrifice, but like a fighter that man can afford. It has, therefore, to be with respect for their natural weapons, both physical and moral. The man must avoid the bull, but the face, leaving always see as much as possible, deliberately standing in the line of natural attack of the bull, himself assuming the risk of dying. Only has the right to kill the bull who agrees to stake his own life. An uneven but fair combat: weapons of intelligence and cunning against the instinct and strength. "
La Fiesta del Toro has roots very, very old, rooted in basic values: the difference between the beast and human, between the killing, slaughter and dead with honor and, as Wolff notes, between intelligence and instinct. civilizational values \u200b\u200bare that ritualized, distinguish between culture and barbarism.
may need a ceremony to contain the carnage. I do not know, because I personally reject rituals that cause pain to any being, but clearly our time trivializes the murder to make it "black humor" and obscene, because we lack the appropriate rituals to understand emotionally. And it is also clear that films like The Matador are sad evidence of these shortcomings.
I will not tell the whole plot of the film "The Matador." But at the end, years later, Danny ends up helping Julian to kill someone, a being unknown to him, only to char the "friend" without any concern of taking the life of a human being.
is awesome. Not because the story could have been an interesting exploration of the dark side of our attacks, but because everything seems so "normal" Danny just help your friend in the fraternal spirit of friendship. We live in an era when our government supports the torture and physically remove not only their enemies but all that could be with them at the time to send you an attack drones.
This is not free. The question is: are we paying to have trivialized our aggression in the past, or are preparing a frightening new era for our grandchildren?
