#patriotic tag

[laufire]

at one point, when life finally affords me some significant free time as opposed to snatched guilty-ridden moments, I wand to do something I've wanted to do for a while: grab one of my Ultimate Favourite Spanish films, rewatch it, and dissect it bit by bit here for all who might care (me and... maybe just me lol). and I can't decide which one I'd want to do first:

El verdugo (1963), by Luis Garcia Berlanga. "The executioner". A dark comedy about the death penalty, which manages to be bitingly satiric and a solid denouncement of the dictatorial regime of the time, while art was heavily censored.

Blancanieves (2012), by Pablo Berger. "Snow White". Black and white film, grim & melancholic retelling/appropriation, set in 1920's Andalusia (a very Romantic setting, imo). It stars Maribel Verdú as the stepmother (see my header).

El crimen de Cuenca (1980), by Pilar Miró. "The Crime of Cuenca". Based on true events, about an egregious miscarriage of justice that occurred in the early years of the 20th century and its consequences. Treatise against torture; it was incredibly controversial (members of the government and several courts tried to stop its release. The Supreme Court had to rule in its favour).

so in that spirit... my first poll!!!

The 'hyperspecific situations' polls are really once again highlighting that native English speakers tend to forget that 'foreign' doesn't mean 'non-English' or 'non-American'

"Did you watch a foreign language movie in the past three days?" Yeah I watched the foreign movie "The Martian" with foreign actor Matt Damon

Aitana Bonmatí: "I believe that as a society we shouldn't allow any abuse of power in the workplace. Same as disrespect. So I would like to (say) to my teammate Jenni, and to every woman who's suffered the same, than we are with you. And I hope we keep working so society gets better".

Not just what she says but in front of who she says it. Those who have been looking the other way for almost two weeks and that protect each other.

Don’t you hate it when you’re long time rival that goes against all of your moral views starts looking a little too good

NO YOU DON'T GET IT I CAUGHT MY MOM WATCHING EPISODE 1 OF LA PROMESA AND I CALLED IT SPANISH DOWNTON ABBEY TOO. we're currently on episode 90-something. 98?

It IS Spanish Downton Abbey

(But With More Murder And Revenge And Bitchy MILFs)

(which obviously works in its favour if you ask me)

I don't exactly follow it; I watch episodes with my mother whenever I go back home and she's all caught up (the snail pace of the plot means I don't miss much lmao), and sometimes an episode by myself or scenes in youtube.

I'm here for all the women, ESPECIALLY the bitchy MILFs in question (if this was a fair world, Cruz and Margarita would have hate sex on my screen. I'm just saying). And for all the revenge, of course.

Having a crush is the most disgusting cringy sweetest painful most joyful thing you’ll ever experience in your life

I haven’t been this miserably happy in years
