Another film Argentina
Martin met about five years ago, when he started working with me as a junior assistant. Had just left his law studies and, unfortunately family, had cut a tradition of over a hundred years: all males of the family were also lawyers.
His father was, coincidentally, the president of the company where I worked. Imagine that cost very little to convince the convenience of taking it as my right hand.
Martin was a surprise for me: not responding to common types "off" to enjoy particularly by a child of such a character. So much so that at no time did I totally forget his princely origin.
few months after starting, he enrolled in an advanced course in filmmaking. He was fond film and could transform a pleasure to change views with him on a movie. On one occasion, slipped a comment about one who had seen long ago and it was possible that she knew nothing about. I naively thought that disavow because at that time he was more concerned with birth. Of course not counted on "After Hours" Scorsese is something of a particular religion for any student of film that boasts of such.
We had to do missions together a couple of entrepreneurs in the interior, an issue that allowed us to know more. And I understand what goes on inside the head of a legitimate "Richie Rich" willing to go to fight in the street.
course in that job was short-lived: it was a very active, but creative and helpful. Seemed destined to do everything right, although you could see how much I was overwhelmed by the routine. But got a laburo more akin to his future in film production. Which his father was ... the largest shareholder, and also chairman.
Since I retired, I walk every morning. An alleged cheating Pichanga my cholesterol like to stay frenadito's where to see if you can go back even if little. I walk the woods of Palermo until one of my twins humpback and refuses to follow recommended me board those black and yellow pebbles abound every morning around me. A practice only possible if no mosquitoes. Point from which to retreat and I start to wander these streets of Buenos Aires that have that "queseyo, see?"
This morning I happened again. And the first mosquito was precisely to pierce my twin, and he knew that the damn is fashion and sometimes I leave.
As I always do, rush the fly as is indicated by the sages of gymnastics and physical practices. But the third block covered police custody I was surprised that prevented cars go along a lane that usually has little traffic. Looking at the middle of the block, I noticed strange movements: reflectors, trucks, cameras. It is not the first time that I come across a film, something already too common in Buenos Aires. What do you think I am surprised the throng of technicians?
- Martin! - Scream from across the street. Martin sees me, and leaves the place to come and hug me.
- Juanqui, so long!
- You did it! You are in the world of cinema! What are you doing?
- And, you see ... I make a film ...
I tried to make a quick racconto of living. It was only four years since I saw Martin, a bachelor who just started a course of film, and when I ever see is ... a film director in Argentina.
Of course, the reunion ended with the national pledge eternal more relaxed get together for coffee, not the preparations for the walk or the laburo film. Question to be developed just a few days later, after syncing the phone.
- How did you transform a film director?
- Well, do not think that hard. In principle we get a development credit to the cinema, and the rest got a cow that did my old friends. Ah ... and a good touch my father threw me, it's textile industry.
- Che, good to wake up so much confidence. I I had neither a father nor a father had twine that would let me have more than his daughter. Is it much dough?
- Not for a movie like this, about three hundred thousand green.
- A million dollars! Do you think they're going to recover?
- not a fart! What do you think? What am Spielberg?
- And how do you borrow it?
- No, not provide. They invest, if goes well. If not, all good too. That is investing. In reality, the bet is that after you start to see what happens with the movie on the international market: there is good bite: you buy the large cable movie channels. They need material that are permanently programming covering 24 hours.
- But making films for this purpose is the same as making ceramics for lining baths.
- Dale ... Do not be funny ...
- What kind of movie is what you do?
- Look, lately I fell in love with the cinema of the nouvelle vogue "of the sixties. Especially Godard. My film is divided into three acts, is almost as dialectic: thesis, antithesis and synthesis. In the first act Melina nap.
- Only sleep?
- Claro.
- A long time?
- No, because it is a light nap, in real time. Only an hour.
- But that did Andy Warhol, also 60.
- Nothing to do ... In my try to rank the movie made and the meanings of dreams through the progress that the camera on her, the subtle gestures, the value of the skin or breathing. Anyway ... to understand you'd have to see it.
- But if you put mine to sleep an hour, I do not suppose you have much to say ...
- is that deep silence of the siesta, it serves to draw breath and launch into the new life ... there all just beginning.
- But ... How long is your movie?
- I do not know yet ... I see him in the editing and final cut. I figure it can not last less than five or six hours. Not if I do not for two films. I will see.
Very interesting huh? I remember the ups and downs experienced by hundreds of adventurers in the history of cinema, the amazing stories they had to spend to get how and in what film, or even advertise their brand new creations. But now I feel like film is a seemingly less sacrificed, something simpler.
Although I believe that it is not so simple is a spectator of these films.
