Do I Have Scabies Or Fleas

Reflection: In what he once taught Ireland Spain


After writing about five minutes of fame and talk a little about terrorism have completed the previous entry on this here. A reflection another. (The day that José María Aznar send me to see the Judge Del Olmo, tell him I was good person, I do not go as these )

Comparing the English and Irish films, both have managed to reflect the dramatic moments terrorist past, with greater or lesser degree (is less). But so far Spain has been unable or has managed to make fiction of the victims or forgiveness, at least not for the big screen (there was a TV movie called Futuro: 48 horas the murder of Miguel Angel Blanco). In the documentary The Basque Ball also spoke of casualties was not the key issue. Of course have to say that Basque pelota not received much less praise the affected (The AVT requested, unsuccessfully, to withdraw from the Festival de Cine de San Sebastian in that edition, 2003). Perhaps the closest to the Irish case at hand was a film that was also in San Sebastian in 2009, perfect happiness, but in him the victims were a secondary issue.

Why must this emptiness? Maybe it's because in Spain we have not understood the plight of the victims, perhaps it is the fear of falling into frivolity, or perhaps because it awakens little interest. But these assumptions seem disposable. And in case you make a film about victims, "who shoot, the AVT? At this point it would be advisable to highlight the words in that Xabier Arzalluz Basque pelota, distinguish one thing, victims and victims' associations . Or do not go to extremes of nationalism, affirming Iñaki Gabilondo in the same documentary: is a threatened species officers. Are near threatened professionals, and others are just as threatened and do not say much. Vale, the AVT and their surroundings arouses admiration excessive.

short, seems clear that the AVT and its acolytes still can not be subject. probably not your fault, but have struggled. Surely terrorism and its consequences are too manipulated for political power (which has done little to fix it) to address these issues without anguish. In this situation, that Spain continues to own (The Basque Ball of Medem walk in a drawer, for those who want to see it without prejudice.) Meanwhile, in Ireland, the film has already taken the side of normal and repair the damage .

PS The main picture is mine.
