Death of a Bureaucrat (1966)

The Last Supper, Tomas Gutierrez Alea, 1976

I think if I were to choose any movie about slavery to show in schools it might be this one, particularly because it shows a non USA centric version of slavery, particularly because it shows how the ideology of slavery was directly connected to the ideology of religion.

This movie was hard to watch, but very very worth it if you want a sort of historical summing up of the perspectives that not only made slavery possible, but made it flourish. It just fed people's egos in the right way, while also making them feel pious at the same time.

Rebus – BBC picks up new series

BY IAN MCARDELL FILED UNDER NEWS

Richard Rankin takes on the role of the famous Scottish detective

The BBC acquired the Scottish crime drama Rebus. Made by Eleventh Hour Films for Viaplay, and based on Ian Rankin’s novels, the series stars Richard Rankin (no relation) in the title role.

The detective has been previously played, as an Inspector, by both John Hannah and Ken Stott.

Rebus

The six-part series has been adapted for the screen by Gregory Burke who reimagines the character earlier in his career. Detective Sergeant John Rebus is drawn into a violent criminal conflict that turns personal when his brother Michael, a former soldier, crosses the line into criminality. Rebus finds himself torn between protecting his brother and enforcing the law to bring Michael to justice.

Gregory Burke To Adapt Ian Rankin’s Rebus Series as Eleventh Hour Drama Black Watch. Both adaptations, have Richard Rankin’s participation. Based on interviews with former soldiers, it tells the story of troops from the then Black Watch regiment serving in Iraq. The play toured around the world and went on to win four Olivier Awards.

The series promises to explore family, morality and class in an emotionally charged story, set against the Scottish landmarks that Rankin’s readers know so well.

Joining Richard Rankin (Outlander), the series also stars Lucie Shorthouse (Bulletproof), Brian Ferguson (The Ipcress File) and Amy Manson (The Nevers). Plus, Neshla Caplan, Noof Ousellam, Stuart Bowman, Caroline Lee Johnson, Sean Buchanan, Thoren Ferguson and Michelle Duncan.

Filming took place in Glasgow and Edinburgh last year.

Author Ian Rankin says:

“I’m thrilled that Rebus is coming to the BBC. A great cast and a compelling story – I really can’t wait for viewers to see it.”

Actor Richard Rankin adds:

“I am thrilled that Rebus will premiere on the BBC. It’s been an honour taking on the role of Ian Rankin’s renowned John Rebus. A character enjoyed by so many in such a fresh and original adaptation.”

The six-part series is directed by Niall MacCormick (Wallander) and Fiona Walton (Shetland) and is produced by Angela Murray. Paula Cuddy, Jill Green, Eve Gutierrez, Tomas Axelsson, Isabelle Hultén, Niall MacCormick, Gregory Burke and Ian Rankin are the Executive Producers.

Rebus will air on BBC Scotland, BBC One and BBC iPlayer later this spring.

I'm waiting and watching 🍿

no way is that GIZMO DE LA LUNA..they’re a 26-year-old HUMAN notoriously known for being JADED & CRITICAL but there are some people who have seen them being DOWN-TO-EARTH & ADAPTIVE. if you ask me, they remind me a lot of ripped up denim jackets, shots lined up at the bar, and swallowing down your stubborn pride, but that could just be because they’re considered the WISECRACKER around town. just keep an eye on them  &  see if their true colors shine through..

↳ 𝚀𝚄𝙸𝙲𝙺 𝙵𝙰𝙲𝚃𝚂

NAME: Guillermo Valentino Tomas de la Luna NICKNAMES: Gizmo DATE OF BIRTH: April 27th (26) HEIGHT: 5'10 AFFILIATION: Citizen Uprising OCCUPATION: Med School Student/Intern at Epsilon Labs FACECLAIM: Froy Gutierrez

TW: child abandonment, teenage pregnancy

↳ 𝙱𝙰𝙲𝙺𝙶𝚁𝙾𝚄𝙽𝙳

❖ Gizmo barely remembers their birth mom, she left not long after their eldest sister Celia, became pregnant while in high school. They were only 6 at the time Marisol was born, her being more of a little sister to them than a niece. ❖ Growing up Celia was simply mom to him, he knew she did her best to get his birth father to come around but he always had an excuse. Eventually fully signing away his rights by the time Gizmo was 8. The timing, depending on who you asked, couldn't have been better, Celia met Cal de la Luna and eventually he fully joined their family. ❖ At first Gizmo was apprehensive, the first time they actually lashed out about Celia not technically being their mom. Both were patient and while he got into his fair share of trouble in school over it, by the time his younger brother Felipe was born he'd come to fully accept Cal as his dad and made amends with Celia. ❖ With Cal around things did get financially easier but they weren't exactly rolling in money. Gizmo worked various odd jobs throughout the years, and watching his sister go through her clinical trial cemented what he wanted to study. That and they knew a career as a doctor could help provide for their family. ❖ He's currently in his final year of pre med and looking for where he'll do his residency. School though isn't cheap and currently he's under a scholarship provided by Epsilon Labs. So while he'd rather be a doctor somewhere more accessible to the lower class he's aware that it's likely he'll end up working in corporate before ever being able to step foot into a public hospital.

↳ 𝙼𝙸𝚂𝙲

• As part of his scholarship he currently interns at Epsilon Labs, so far they've had no issue with him being part of Citizen Uprising.

( pedro pascal, he/him, male ) i’m pretty sure i just ran into tomas diaz! you know them, they’re the 45 year old bar owner that’s been here for 15 years. they can be pretty patient, but on the d.l., they’re also stoic. i have their ringtone set as hip to be square by huey lewis and the news in my cell. next time you’re around manhattan, tell them to give me a call! (kirby!)

stats!

name: tomas vicente gutierrez diaz

d.o.b.: december 1, 1959

hometown: punta arenas, chile; albany, ny

current residence: manhattan, nyc

height: 5'11"

sexuality: homosexual

positive traits: patient, generous, careful

negative traits: stoic, closed off, stubborn

family: isidora diaz (50y/o, sister), dominga diaz (48y/o, sister) jj duval (24y/o, godson)

bio! (tw alcohol, drugs, overdose, addiction)

tomas was the third and final child born into his family, and the only boy in the bunch. his sisters preceded him by a few years a piece. just a few years after he was born, they packed up and moved across the world, from chile all the way to albany, new york, where his father worked on an assembly line and his mother ran a small daycare out of their quaint home. it wasn't a lavish life, but they got by just fine.

with their living situation, tomas was surrounded by kids pretty much always. his sisters as well as the kids his mother looked after. he always felt... out of place. not for any particular reason, he just tended to hide himself away in the corner of whatever room they were in, much preferring to keep to himself and do his own thing. his parents often tried to get him to mingle, to interact more with the other children and make friends, but it never quite stuck.

not until high school. through most of his life, he kept to himself and stayed quiet, but as a teenager he steadily started making friends. maybe not... the right friends. the crowd he started to run with were a little bit difficult. they skipped school, got high, caused trouble. tomas had always felt like an outcast, so befriending a small group of them finally gave him something he'd never really felt before. acceptance.

things just got rougher and rougher, though. in school it was weed and whatever drinks they could score either from their parents or the corner store. once they graduated, tomas and his friends turned to harder drugs. what had just been fun and carefree became an addiction. not a day went by that tomas didn't get drunk before 3pm, and most of his money was blown on whatever drugs he could get his hands on. and when you were working odd jobs here and there and renting out motel rooms a few times a week, money was not an easy thing to hold onto.

by the time he was twenty-five, tomas had been suffering with addiction for years. his parents were quietly supportive, trying desperately to offer help without offering it outright. they'd learned the hard way that tomas got extremely offended at the suggestion that he needed help. but eventually, after an altercation with a cop, he was forced into rehab, angering him and thrilling his family. thus began his complicated relationship with recovery.

rehab helped in spurts. sometimes he'd have a good therapist, someone that understood what it was like and would actually talk to them like adults, and sometimes the pitying sessions would piss him off. he made some friends that wanted to get better and encouraged him to do the same, and he made some friends that were waiting to get out for another high.

overdose tw! it took a near death experience for tomas to finally shape up. he overdosed - thankfully in a bar bathroom where people were able to get him medical attention immediately. he flatlined in the ambulance and had to be revived by paramedics.

ironically, the threat of eternal sleep was a wake up call. it wasn't easy by any means, but tomas put himself through rehab again, this time willingly, he went to support groups, he cut toxic people out of his life. by the time he was thirty, he was clean, and he has been for fifteen years now.

after getting clean, tomas moved from albany into the city. he found a job at a bar in manhattan, commuting on the train every day for a long time. first he was just cleaning and acting as a stand-in bouncer whenever people got too rowdy - as a former addict, he knew just how crazy things could get if not taken care of quickly. at first it was hard for him to be around, but as time went on, he felt immune to his surroundings. and he continued working at the bar for years.

it took a long time, but eventually, tomas saved up and purchased the bar from the retiring owner, just shy of his thirty-eighth birthday. the only business knowledge he had was from books, as he'd never even stepped foot on a college campus, but he figured it out and worked his ass off to do so. now, he owns two bars in manhattan, and lives in a much nicer place than he ever could have imagined for himself

headcanons + wanted connections!

tomas' high school best buddy had a kid, jj, when they were in their early 20s and named tomas his godfather, and tomas more or less adopted him when jj was 17. not legally or anything, but... jj has been living with him since then and they both very much consider each other the only close family they've got. that's tomas' kiddo right there.

both of tomas' parents have died since he moved to new york - his father about six years ago and his mother about two. it's just him and his sisters now

his relationship with them was weird for a while, but they're friendly now! tomas tries to drive out to see them a few times a year.

tomas is gay and has known that for a really, really long time. he doesn't "come out" formally very much anymore though, he just kind of. is gay and expects the people around him to figure it out. it's easier!

100% straight edge. tomas hasn't done any drugs or had a drink of alcohol in over 10 years. kinda judgey if other people indulge

kinda judgey period, tbh. like he's a nice guy, but he has opinions about everything.

i would love some regulars at his bars! i think he's there a lot bartending or just helping his staff out. or past/current employees maybe!

neighbors that he's friendly with would be nice! he lives in manhattan, but he lived in the bronx for a long long time so former ones would be fun too!

a fling or two? tomas hasn't been in many serious relationships, so i think he sticks to casual shit for the most part

anything honestly, im obsessed with all of you and want all the plots

Please welcome Guillermo Valentino Tomas 'Mo' de la Luna (HE/THEY) to Huntsville, WV. They are a 26-year-old RESIDENT who lives in TOWN. You may see them around working as a NURSE AT SUNNYSIDE RETIREMENT HOME. Poor unfortunate soul. We’ll see if they survive.

quick facts

Name: Guillermo Valentino Tomas de la Luna (formerly Reyes) Nickname: Mo, family nickname is Gizmo Age: 26 Faceclaim: Froy Gutierrez Pronouns: He/They Sexuality: Allegedly Straight Moral Alignment: Neutral Good Occupation: Nurse at Sunnyside Retirement Home Role: Gatherer

[+] hard-working, comic relief, athletic, upbeat [-] jaded, cocky, pushy, manic

background

TW: Child Neglect, Child abandonment, Depression

Mo is the fifth born son in the Reyes Ortega household, the one night stand between his mom and the man she was seeing at the time. His dad wasn't around much growing up, hardly paying child support and never bothering to make visitation happen. It should have hurt, but somedays Mo hardly thought about it. Celia made sure of that, if his dad flaked, his family took him out for the day. If anything, he was glad when his dad didn't show up, if it meant his family got together it was bound to be a good day.

Over the years he noticed his mother's mood swings, the 'mom has a headache today' or 'she's just tired let her rest'. It was hard not to feel bitter against his older siblings, not understanding why they were allowed in her room and he wasn't It wouldn't be until her was older that he'd understood it was an obligation to be there not a privilege.

When Celia's boyfriend left for college, it was hard to keep his mouth shut, even harder not to go after the guy even if he was only 9. Still if anything, the thought of who needs dads was there in his mind. At 10 he swore to be the best uncle ever, but it was hard. It was the best and worst times, seeing Celia fall into a similar place as their own mother had shaken him, even if she did her best to hide it.

Things seemed to be settling down when he was 13, Celia had a job and everyone was pitching in with Felipe. At least until his dad strolled back into town asking if he'd mind babysitting his 5 year old sister. A sister he had never even met until that day, confused and a bit stunned he agreed to watch her for the day. A day turned into a week which turned into a month. Suddenly the Reyes had a new member to raise, and maybe Mo would have been bitter against his dad for it. It was hard to be bitter though, with Celia stepping up to help raise his half sister, there was no time to be bitter. Especially when a year later, deadbeat dads got overshadowed by actual monsters.

misc

When Mo was 16 and in high school, he was a fairly popular guy with friends and was a star player on the baseball team. However one of his fellow teammates started spreading rumors to get him kicked off the team.

Wasn't long until the teachers were accusing him of cheating, his fellow classmates labeling him as a womanizer. Even a rumor floating around that he abandoned a child at the Commune. Mo ended up barely graduating, having distanced himself from his friends and quitting the team to try to lay low.

While he's not happy about the reputation he has in town, he also doesn't put much thought into it. He knowns actions speak louder than words. In this town there are most important things than reputation anyway.

From when Viaplay announced the Rebus project I thought that Richard would be perfect!

Ian Rankin’s immensely popular detective, Inspector John Rebus, is set for a major reimagining in the form of a six-part series from streamer Viaplay and Eleventh Hour Films.

Set in contemporary Edinburgh, and drawn from the universe of Rankin’s books, the series places Rebus at the heart of a new story devised by screenwriter Gregory Burke (“Entebbe,” play “Gagarin Way”). The show represents Viaplay Group’s initial U.K. drama commission and the first Rebus TV adaptation for nearly 15 years.

In the drama, Rebus is in his 30s, recently divorced and demoted to Detective Sergeant. He has a new colleague, Detective Constable Siobhan Clarke, and is struggling to deal with the changes in his personal and professional life. At the same time, Rebus’s daughter, Sammy, and ex-wife, Rhona, are enjoying an affluent existence with Rhona’s new partner – while Rebus’s brother Michael is finding out that in a society where the gaps between the haves and have-nots keep widening, taking shortcuts to provide for your family is no longer a temptation, but a necessity.

The bestselling Inspector Rebus books have sold 30 million copies and been translated into 36 languages, with fan bases in the U.K., US, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, Turkey and Finland. Four series of “Rebus” were produced for ITV, with the last one airing in 2007. There have also been radio and stage adaptations.

The principal cast and director of the new production will be revealed imminently, and filming is set to begin in spring 2023. Planned as a returning series, the show is produced by Eleventh Hour Films, with Jill Green, Paula Cuddy and Eve Gutierrez as executive producers, and with Isabelle Hultén and Tomas Axelsson as executive producers for Viaplay Group. Rankin and Burke will also serve as executive producers

Rankin said: “I’m hugely excited at the thought of Rebus returning to our screens and it’s a privilege to have Gregory Burke write the scripts. I’ve been a fan since ‘Gagarin Way’ and know that he understands the world of Rebus and the compelling central character. I’m chuffed to bits that Viaplay and Eleventh Hour are involved in this groundbreaking endeavour and I can’t wait to share the results.”

Filippa Wallestam, Viaplay Group CCO, said: “Ian Rankin is a global storytelling phenomenon, and partnering to reimagine Rebus for a new generation of viewers is a remarkable way for Viaplay to take the U.K. stage. This ambitious series will explore family, morality and class in British society through an exciting and emotionally charged story, set against the Edinburgh landmarks that Rankin’s readers know so well. Together with Gregory Burke and the team at Eleventh Hour Films, we will create an unforgettable show with Scottish roots, international appeal and universal themes.”

Jill Green, Eleventh Hour Films CEO, added: “Ian Rankin and Gregory Burke are the dream duo. They will ensure that ‘Rebus’ delivers in a truly authentic, exciting and fresh way. For Eleventh Hour Films, Viaplay and Scotland, this project feels like great timing.”

Viaplay launched in the U.K. Nov. 1. The U.K. launch takes Viaplay’s direct-to-consumer footprint to 11 countries, with the U.S. and Canada to follow in early 2023.
