#el matador- don flamenco

[beatleswings]

So, we never got to know who are the voice actors in Black & Bruised. I mean, I get why they probably didn't want to be credited or maybe the devs were lazy like they were with some of the background characters designs. So, it had me thinking. If somehow by some miracle we got a remake, sequel, whatevs, they would probably do what Punch-Out!! and Tekken does where they cast VAs to voice their characters in their native language. Here are some VO claims + headcanons I made for my main faves who are also boyfriends plus Dolcita.

Matador

Matador, my headcanon full name for him is Emilio Domínguez Reina.

It was either Julio or Emilio but I wanted to be unique and went with the latter. Domínguez, I picked this as his surname because...It's actually Antonio Banderas' real paternal surname. A little homage. And Reina...I just like it plus it's a common surname in Spain.

Other headcanons I have, he is 27, bisexual and has somewhat of a rivalry with Don Flamenco. He initially had a rivalry/frenemy like relationship with Luchador until the two fell for each other and eventually started dating.

I can see him being voiced by Spanish voice actor Antonio Fernández Muñoz. He is one of my favorite Spain Spanish dub VAs. While I don't watch One Piece, I have heard of his voice work in this and love his voice for Mihawk. That is how I picture Matador sounding. He sounds a bit like the OG.

El Luchador

OK, El Luchador, my headcanon name for him is...Arturo Guzmán Moreno.

Arturo...I just like the name. His surnames I based it off luchadores El Santo (his real name being Rodolfo Guzmán Huerta) and Blue Demon, using his second surname (Alejandro Muñoz Moreno)

Other headcanons I have, he is 28 and pansexual. Initially had a rivalry/frenemy like relationship with Matador until the two developed feelings for each other and eventually started dating.

Luchy (hehe my nickname for him) I can see being voiced by Mexican voice actor Gerardo García. While he is usually the habitual voice for Adam Sandler in Latin America Spanish dubs, I imagine his Roger voice from the LatAm Spanish dub of American Dad as to how I picture Luchy sounding.

Dolcita

Yes, I'm giving Matador's ex who in the game is just a Jumpin' Janet recolor (on the left) and doesn't speak not only a makeover (the picrew on the right) but some headcanons and a voice.

Her full name is Dolores González Pérez. Dolcita is one of her nicknames and mainly referred to that as well as "Dolly". She is Argentine. She is 24, also bisexual, and as stated, she is Matador's ex. After her breakup with Matador, she briefly dated Carmen (yes, Don Flamenco's girl). Out of her relationships, hers with Carmen was one of the healthiest she's been in and although they split, it was amicable and the ladies remain friends.

And since I headcanon her to be Argentine, I went with an Argentine voice actress for her, Luciana Falcón. You can listen to some voice samples here.

ORSON WELLES (II): ESPAÑA

FERIA DE SEVILLA

CON ANTONIO ORDOÑEZ

CON SU HIJA BEATRIZ EN SEVILLA

RODANDO “DON QUIJOTE” EN PAMPLONA

HOMENAJE PÓSTUMO EN RONDA

EL POZO DE LAS CENIZAS

 La fascinación que España ejerció sobre Orson Welles quedó reflejada en muchas de sus obras. Fueron cuatro, especialmente, las ciudades que ejercieron esa fascinación, quizás desmesurada, en nuestro personaje: Pamplona, Jerez de la Frontera, Ronda y sobre todo, Sevilla.

Quién sabe si esa fascinación por España fue la que motivó inicialmente su atracción hacia la mundialmente famosa Rita Hayworth cuando vio en la portada de Life la foto de una hija de un bailaor andaluz, llamada Margarita Cansino y que con el tiempo se convertiría en su esposa.

Orson Welles no fue uno más de los directores norteamericanos que vinieron a España en los años 50; él se impregnó de la cultura y de la idiosincrasia española e hizo cine español. Además, tuvo la fortuna de lograr en nuestro país lo que no logró en el resto del mundo, encontrar financiación para su proyecto más querido: llevar a la pantalla como homenaje a Shakespeare su personaje Falstaff. Emiliano Piedra financió la que sería una de las grandes películas de la historia: Campanadas a medianoche, íntegramente rodada en España.

Pero vayamos por partes y remontémonos a su primera visita a España.

¿Cuándo vino por primera vez a España? ¿Cuándo surgió el “flechazo” que lo ligó a nuestro país para siempre?

En 1927, cuando Orson Welles tenía 12 años, acompaña a su padre en un viaje a Sevilla. Su padre era muy amigo del torero Juan Belmonte. Ese niño de 12 años, amante del teatro y conocedor de la obra de Shakespeare, quedó impresionado por la personalidad del torero que encandiló a la intelectualidad de la época y que tan bien retrató Manuel Chaves Nogales en la biografía del matador. No olvidó esta visita y cuando volvió en 1932 con 17 años, trató de convertirse en matador de toros.

Trotamundos desde muy joven, Orson había estado 5 años viviendo en China junto a su padre, luego se fue a Dublín y Londres donde ya trabajó como actor de teatro. Tras un viaje a África llegó a Sevilla y recaló en Triana donde vivió durante 4 meses.

En un popular corral de vecinos trató de aprender la técnica del toreo mientras se ganaba la vida escribiendo unas novelitas policiacas que se las publicaban en los Estados Unidos.

¿Llegó a torear Orson Welles? Sí. Con el poco torero nombre de EL AMERICANO, toreó 4 novilladas que al parecer él mismo costeó. El público rápidamente descubrió su falta de pericia taurina y una ingente cantidad de botellas y otra serie de objetos cayeron en todas sus actuaciones en el ruedo como protesta por su mal hacer; botellas que el bueno de Orson regaló a unas prostitutas que vivían junto a su casa. Afortunadamente para el cine, pronto se dio cuenta que no estaba llamado para el arte de Cuchares y abandonó tal ilusión.

Lamentablemente no se dispone de ningún documento que testifique esa visita a Sevilla en 1932. Evidentemente la estancia de un chico norteamericano en la ciudad y su presencia en unas becerradas, entre los incontables espectáculos taurinos que se celebraban entonces, no fue motivo suficiente para que quedara testimonio en la prensa.

En los inicios de la década de los años 50 comenzaron a llegar a España productores y directores norteamericanos para realizar numerosas superproducciones como El Cid, 55 días en Pekín, Rey de Reyes o La caída del Imperio Romano. Lo hacían en base a varias circunstancias: por una parte, la bonanza climática de nuestro país y especialmente por la mano de obra barata de la que disponían para rodar aquellas grandes secuencias de masas (además el régimen, como elemento de sumisión a las empresas norteamericanas suministraba todos los figurantes que fuesen necesarios y ponía a su disposición miles de soldados del ejército español). Además, la autarquía franquista no permitía a las distribuidoras yanquis sacar de España sus ganancias en divisas. La solución era gastarse ese dinero produciendo aquí las películas. 

Welles llegó a España en 1953 para rodar Mr. Arkadín. Vino con cierto miedo porque temía que la dictadura recordase que él había apoyado a la República durante la guerra civil. Se tranquilizó cuando le recordaron que Hemingway, quien también había apoyado a la República española, circulaba con plena libertad por España. El régimen deseaba tener una mejor imagen en el extranjero y especialmente con aquellos personajes de fama mundial era mejor olvidar sus veleidades republicanas. España necesitaba romper el aislamiento y el acercamiento a Estados Unidos era muy necesario al régimen. El ejército norteamericano se instaló en nuestro país y los personajes famosos norteamericanos podían hacer lo que quisieran en España, con inmunidad absoluta. Como ejemplo vaya el de Frank Sinatra, que en sus fiestas con Ava Gardner rompía cuanto quería, cuando los niveles etílicos eran altos, incluidas fotos de Franco en hoteles como el Castellana Hilton de Madrid y nadie se atrevía a denunciarlo.

Welles se incorporó a esas juergas y en Barcelona en un tablao llamado Zambra se enamoró del flamenco. Desde entonces fue un asiduo a la Feria de Sevilla, los encierros de Pamplona y a las corridas de toros. Pero no solo le interesaban las costumbres y las fiestas españolas, Welles quedó fascinado por nuestra cultura y por un personaje: Don Quijote y se propuso realizar su versión sobre este español universal.

Desde entonces sus estancias en España se hicieron frecuentes. Se compró casa en Madrid y en Ronda y su presencia en la Maestranza de Sevilla o en los sanfermines fue habitual.

Realizó varios documentales sobre nuestro país y uno muy curioso para la BBC donde explicaba al público anglosajón el mundo de los toros. Welles realizó, al menos, tres documentales sobre los toros en Sevilla para la RAI italiana, la ABC estadounidense y el ya señalado para la BBC.

Por fin en 1964 y gracias a Emiliano Piedra rueda en nuestro país una de sus obras maestras, Campanadas a medianoche. Los escenarios se suceden en Madrid, Navarra y Soria y los técnicos son españoles. Coincidió este rodaje en tierras sorianas con el de Dr. Zivago. Welles aprovechó el vestuario de El Cid, una superproducción de Samuel Bronston que se había rodado unos años antes.

No olvidó a España en sus últimos años en los que residió en Los Ángeles, al contrario, y como fruto de su gran amistad con el torero Antonio Ordoñez mostró el deseo que sus cenizas terminasen reposando en tierra española. Sus palabras a Ordoñez fueron: “Me gustaría que enterraran mis cenizas en tu pozo. Un hombre no pertenece al lugar donde nace, sino donde escoge morir”. Orson Welles murió el 10 de Octubre de 1985 en Los Ángeles y su hija trajo sus cenizas hasta la finca de Antonio Ordoñez, San Cayetano, en Ronda donde quedaron depositadas en un pozo.

Toda esta trayectoria del gran artista norteamericano en España la desarrollaron en 2004 los cineastas Alberto Rojas, Leif Karpe y Rodrigo Gómez en un documental con el título El Americano. En el documental se evoca desde la primera visita a Sevilla en 1927 y se seleccionan los testimonios de las personas que lo conocieron años después en sus distintas estancias en España.
