HEIFER

HEIFER

For Florentino Sanders.
the highly topical again forces us to change our plans hastily publishing and we have to echo the sad news, death in Madrid last November 13 by Luis García Berlanga, one of the greatest directors of English cinema to whom we owe titles, among many other works, such as "Placido," Welcome Mr. Marshall "," The Executioner ", and of course" The Heifer ".

As you may have guessed just read the title of this review, if you have a favorite movie components of this writing, this film is none other than "HEIFER" that is in our opinion, despite criticism from some moviegoers and occasional historian, one of the masterpieces of English cinema. This mix tape is back Civil War and bulls, bulls and Civil War, all with a point of irony and humor wasting. What more could we ask from this wording?.

Gracía Luis Berlanga and Alfredo Landa at a time of the shooting of the film.

for many years as a reporter I had taurinoguerracivilero opportunity to meet many good people and to any other character. Of all these good people today want to talk to one of them, Don Carlos Hall, which I can consider as a friend, which is a real honor for me. Don Carlos is an elderly person, but still in an enviable physical condition and a clarity that many of us would like. A Don Carlos as many English people play to make war, but with the addition that he would start it touched on one side and finish in another. Some years ago I did an interview for the magazine Front Madrid, focused on his experiences in the period between the Proclamation of the Republic and the end of the war. Throughout the time that Don Carlos stood on both sides lived a number of incidents and adventures, which at one time was compromised their physical and even their lives. The peculiarity of having been on both sides of it lies in a privileged position from which you can make judgments with an objectivity available to very few. Some time ago we were talking not remember what and left the issue of the heifer, and Don Carlos changed the face:

- Have you seen Florentino?, Is great. I've seen do not know how many times and never tire of seeing. As evidenced in the film is much like as they did that, the characters, situations, people, the military ...

With a view like this, what more critical about the movie we want?. Although placed in morlaco in luck, and morlaco, I can not waste this opportunity afforded me for the showcasing and stop commenting on this gem of the film.

Another moment of shooting the film in the town of Sos del Rey Catolico.

The Heifer was filmed in 1985 on a script by Berlanga, Rafael Azcona tandem with another big late our cinema does not do many dates, a couple indispensable to know the English cinema of the second past half century. Although the date of the making you might think that the movie was created in conjunction with the definitive establishment of democracy in Spain and a chronological distance sufficient conflict in order to address the issue without raising rashes, the truth is that the script was conceived by these two geniuses about 30 years ago in Franco's dictatorship, although the project would be parked for obvious reasons, maybe this will be the first paradox of this unique film. The film gives rise to a set of parallels or metaphors, and no doubt that this is an antiwar movie that shows us how absurd it can be a war, especially if it is of a civil war.

The film begins on a hot summer between the trenches in front of some unknown Republican. In the first scene, a soldier in his underwear crosses the line of trenches asking his colleagues, dressed in a manner not very different and a little martial attitude, rolling papers snuff for further trade pitting on neutral ground with the other side . The vision of this long scene, which provides the backdrop for the credits, you can take the viewer to think that a scenario is unrealistic, or deliberately exaggerated to create a more comical and grotesque. However, the situation should not be far from those lived in fronts that remained stable over long periods of conflict. Similarly we say that barter objects were common among the contenders.

During the exchange of paper on neutral ground for snuff, the Brigade Castro, played by Alfredo Landa (an officer with many years of service, determined to maintain discipline as the cornerstone of an army, but nobody obeys), learns that on the other side are preparing a big party with lots of food and drink (something unusual in the Republican zone), which will be the culminating act of a heifer bulls. From this information, the Brigade will devise an ambitious plan, which will raise the moral done of his troops and also allow them to put something in their stomachs. The plan is none other than once dressed in uniforms of the other side and after crossing the lines, seize the heifer, and by the way spoil the party and delivered a major psychological blow to the enemy.

The Brigade Castro (Alfredo Landa) presents his plan to the Lieutenant Broseta (Jose Sacristan).

transmits his idea to his superior, Lt. Broseta, played by José Sacristán (before the start of the war was a barber and therefore lacked any military training), who ends up accepting the plan and decides to put in place without ask anyone's permission. Next to the brigade and Lieutenant, the team will be composed of a former priest-turned-proletarian ideals and worldly vices also an amateur bullfighter named "Lima's (if not called to be in Lima but by working in a workshop and have great skill with lime) and a soldier, Mariano, a native of the town where the festival is to celebrate and therefore familiar with the terrain and local customs, which will guide the group. This role is played by Guillermo Montesinos. You see this group reflects quite well what could be the Republican army, where temperatures are somewhat lax discipline and a great lack of control, with officers from the improvised range of sectors and with little or no military training, as well as a band more concerned with personal issues that the future of the war.

But back to the movie in the evening the group was infiltrated enemy lines with the help of a private guard, which is responsible for distracting the guards on the other side, and here we will not give details of how it does for if any of you have not yet seen the film. After a series of vicissitudes, some of them very comic but not detail, our players are already in Francoist zone, miraculously going unnoticed as members of other military and passing all sorts of adventures. It is in this part of the film where Berlanga takes to make a portrait of what it was Franco's Spain, like it did before the Republican, based on some characters like Commander (Agustín González), Marquis (Adolfo Marsillach), the Countess, the priest, the sergeant that no one peep, not to mention the barber played Luis Ciges, actor discussed below, among others. Where we see a Spain authoritarian, exclusivist and class, in which the church, the army and the most ancient aristocracy, play a decisive role.

Cart T26 Zaragoza Military Academy which was used during the filming of the movie.

Although there has been to study the scenes of the film for not gutting in hypothetical and unlikely event that any of you has not seen it yet, we have no choice but to reveal the outcome (even at the end of this Chronic can you watch the final minutes of the same in one of the videos of sun and flies). The film ends with the heifer dead in no man's land between the lines on both sides being devoured by vultures. As already mentioned, The Heifer is a film that can be provided to establish many metaphors, and perhaps in that match more people is to identify the Heifer with Spain, torn by a terrible fratricidal struggle in which neither side has actually win, and the vultures with which they took advantage and took advantage of that conflict. You see, this film has all the ingredients for this language from the consider as one of the masterpieces of English cinema, and we recommend its viewing who is not already done so and who, if this is done, we also recommend that see her again, as it has done many times Don Carlos Sala, an expert in these matters. But back to

Berlanga, who by age and family circumstances also experienced the Civil War. When produces the July 1936 coup Luis García Berlanga had just turned 15, and the war continues to be a novel experience: "There persecution, death, but look, amid the chaos I felt I was living a long vacation. I found out what were the friends, I learned to find joy in books. Schools were abolished, stole books, intelectualicé me. " , a period in which he lived experiences Weird" In the Civil War went to a palace where he had lived a marquis naked photos he kept in which fucking saw him, and kept jars in which hair had been stored pubic, with its specifications: This is the girl may, in twelve years, this is the girl What, seventeen. The tubes kept on aspirin. " age But it would behoove joining the army, becoming part of a medical unit "I moved in was called The Fifth Bottle, and I was in the Battle of Teruel, forty degrees below zero."

But the end of the war would not lead to problems for the Berlanga family. His father, José Pardo García Berlanga was a long industrial winemaking family tradition in the area of \u200b\u200bUtiel Requena, was Member of Parliament and a Senator for many years of his life for the constituency of Requena, and produced the 1936 coup Republican activist in the Union .. Martínez Barrio's party, which in his memoirs, and as he relates Luis García Berlanga has something like this: "My father did not have the political passion of my grandfather, but he continued on, doing his duty. His political boss, Martinez Barrio, in his memoirs something like this: come to me Manteca (who was a close friend of my father) and García Berlanga; are few golfers who are always playing pool in the military casinos, going to hookers , some golfers. I remember that every Sunday I brought magazines, this magazine Chronicle where he had aunts naked, something very tasty for jovencillos like us. For what still has Martínez Barrio is very important to Manteca and Garcia Berlanga told, as they are so in touch with the military casinos, which is preparing a military rebellion. He adds Martínez Barrio, the very raw, "Because they are a go-between have not done much attention." If they had listened! ".

Interim Government of April 14, 1931: Standing: Indalecio Prieto, Marcelino Domingo, Casares Quiroga, Fernando de los Rios, Lluis Nicolau d'Olwer, Francisco Largo Caballero, José Giral, Diego Martinez Barrio. Seated: Lerroux Alejandro, Manuel Azana Niceto Alcalá Zamora, Julian Besteiro and Alvaro de Albornoz. Even

militants in a Republican party and having war zone struck by the government, the war would be an ordeal for the director's father, by virtue of his employer with one hand, and his status from Republican to finish war with the other: "My father left because he chased the anarchists, and notice that I wanted to anarchists. He went to Torrelodones, with Colonel Republican sleeves, and then returned to Valencia. We could not go to our ancestral home, it had been burned, were after him, and then went to Tangier. " In Tangier would be arrested by Franco after the war and the father of Luis García Berlanga be put to death. Berlanga's family moves to try to avoid it and had to go through what it called the black market of Death: "My brother, who was the one wearing the house, he learned that there were two people in Madrid, one was an eye doctor and his sister, who charged the black market of death ... You gave a significant figure and getting the replacement of the sentence. My father had a power plant and a farm with many acres, with many pine trees, which were used to make boxes of oranges ... And we had to sell everything to reach that figure in the black market of death ... At the end of the sentence was commuted to twenty years in prison ... Imagine what would happen to those who had no money, or with those who did not know that it was black market because they were being taken forward, a bastard ... My father was three or four years in prison, had a serious heart condition and died when it should be 60 years. It was not very old. "

Luis García Berlanga (with cap in hand and mustache) with fellow goes to the Russian Front as part of the troops of the Blue Division.

also to curry favor with the victors Berlanga will point to the Blue Division " I was because I asked the family, because my father was to request the death penalty. But what really motivated me to go was a girl. I was in love with her, I thought that being in the Blue Division would remain in love with my courage and did not send me no letter, and it was my girlfriend's closest friend. I was also because I was asked, maybe used to commute his sentence to your father. I also went because he was a friend of the Falange, which then were not, which played the ball was me, but fortunately nothing happened to me. Never fired a shot, never killed anyone, did throw shooting championships light poles, but he never shot a man. They put a monitor in a watchtower, but could see nothing, and I invented things. When climbing the tower, where I spent nine months, he felt no fear of the Germans. It was a terrible wind, and what I feared was Dracula. Once, going up that hole, I fell and was saved by the gun remained in diagonal, and I could get ... And my biggest fear was to meet Dracula. ".

Farewell to the volunteers of the Blue Division in the North Station in Madrid. Coincidentally

in English cinema is another case of close parallel with the de Berlanga. I mean the actor Luis Ciges, whose father also was active in Republican Union and was Civil Governor of Avila. But the father was not so lucky Ciges like Berlanga and would be shot by the rebels a few days of the coup d': "I had a happy childhood but then earned little. My father was a writer and a Republican politician. My mother was the daughter of the bourgeoisie (Azorín was the sister) and only painted and took care of the kitchen. We were four brothers. I was 15 when he killed my father, a Civil Governor of Avila. On August 3, 1936, luggage made to go to Cuba as ambassador, Civil Guard arrested him. The next day he was killed by nationals of a shot in the head, in the cemetery. They stole all the man did not leave a bitch. So my mother and my sister went to a convent, and I and my brothers to one of friars punished. No eating, we tried fatal, was a horrible thing. When the war ended, we were given a choice: stay there or go into the Third Order and Police. So we went, my brother and me. A Elizondo, with requetés, to walk the train tracks if there was fireworks, and close the brothels we saw open. "

Components of the Blue Division browse the mark in a moment of rest.

As Berlanga, Ciges would also require the Divisió Blue: "Then we went to Russia of volunteers, or mercenaries. With a Hunting Group Tank Assault and Blue Division. We had machine guns, hand grenades and smoke, but had no tanks. My mother earned our paychecks into frames. We were from October to October, in Poland, Leningrad ... I was clueless number two and sent me the weirdest things. Cross the field with a wheelbarrow. Climb a mountain sled ... There was no bus, we traveled 1,200 kilometers in a month. In summer, 56 below zero. Then I did the military in Seville, until I drove by me the boss, took out food for the poor and the prisoners of Socorro Rojo. After a while I was doing as a German spy in the Mine Shaft (shaft of Orense, Pontevedra and Lugo) and I went to Avila with bronchitis. Studied two years of medical school and placed me in a tuberculosis sanatorium. There were 400 sick, very sick. As I was quite cured of fear, put me on autopsies. Then had a pabelloncete nice outside and there was a girl with whom I wanted to marry. To make a practice of fidelity. But she would not live there and I came to Madrid "

And so far this chronic wanted to serve as a modest tribute to the great English director Luis Garcia Berlanga was the author of a masterpiece with which we are deeply identified the components of the writing of Sun and Flies: "HEIFER. Florentino

THE ENIGMA OF TANK VIDAL-QUADRAS

By our special correspondent Florentino Sanders.

On Thursday came another of those memorable afternoons of bullfighting organized games by Gefrema that take place in Lourdes school almost every month of the year. This time the guest was right Raúl Cancio have to deal with a more interesting topic: "The roles of the tanker" or what is the same as the story of how the sequence of the General Varela number 15 for the assault Madrid came into the possession of Colonel Vicente Rojo, which thus was able to reorganize its forces to thwart the maneuvers of General Franco.

Left Antonio Morcillo, President of Gefrema, with Raul Cancio gave the conference and is the author of the article to be published in the magazine Front madrid to be presented on Tuesday 16 November. (Photo courtesy of FOTO JAG).



But before you go into detail of how they developed this more interesting appearance, I'll talk a little of Bullfighting games, which as you all can imagine is taking place without the presence of the bull. If for a run of truth (as we enjoy the last Sunday in the House in which the famed right "President" faced a bulls astifinos livestock of "Chucho") is necessary step in the ring, the bullfighting games can be done anywhere, including the bar of a bar and in the presence of the third. But often bullfighting games reaches heights of real solemnity, especially when a leading figure who performs it and is also referred to by a large audience, becoming in many cases a masterclass in bullfighting, or guerracivilmaquia, as happened yesterday . And in this regard I would emphasize the "Evening of Lourdes" which for years has organized Gefrema, authentic lectures on knowledge of the Civil War in Madrid in which not only act first figure, but will also have a public understanding and enthusiastic that give value to those already in itself interesting appearances. Nothing to do with other similar work carried out in other scenarios more posh, but not better than Lourdes, where bullfighting usually skilled often preceded by a very famous media and where in many cases usually go to the type of fan known as " the Isidros "who only attend the big runs or in which leading figures torean the ladder, or at least they are considered as such, regardless of livestock to cope, and often applaud mantazo unconditionally any pass or whether the figures given by quality. By contrast the public of the "Evening of Lourdes" is made up mostly by fans of great knowledge and many desire to learn, with a critical yet very constructive, participatory audience gives a double value to what is presented here. If questions other presentations are made to the right to end their sets tend to be bland, meaningless in many cases and other questions are being prepared for the speaker is brilliant, in presentations of Lourdes is true well it starts when the right ends, rather than settling debates, social gathering authentic amateur torero and rich, and how, as shown by the bridle.

A picture in which we can see several fans (with pint of "Isidro" that's the truth) practicing bullfighting games.

take this opportunity to mention another interesting activity that this partnership will redo the second consecutive year, and last year was a great success. I refer to the call of the 2 nd International Competition of short story about the Civil War in Madrid, which is still open registration period if any of you are interested. The basis for participation and awards can be found on the following address:

http://www.gefrema.org/actividades/certamen_relato_corto_2010.htm
You know, if you have literary inclinations apúntense to this event which was so well received in its first edition.

But back to the task last Thursday I do Raúl Cancio, a right that was preceded by a well-deserved reputation that reached in its previous hearing that focused on "the enigma of the death of Durruti" and that served to present the number 15 of the Madrid Front magazine for which the right had written the lead article on the subject. He had previously published two interesting articles in the same publication, the first on the Supreme Court during the Republic and the Civil War, and another article published in the exceptional number 14 on the managed and preserved as heritage that remains of the American Civil War, to the shame of English local government. With this background would expect the excitement generated at his appearance, especially taking into account the interest of the topic presented.

Ansaldo A car in a parade.

not detail the intervention of Raúl Cancio, among other reasons because all that was stated in a lengthy article to be published in the magazine number 18 Front Madrid which will be presented on Tuesday, 16 also Lourdes in school and therefore we do not anticipate. But making a Raúl Cancio short summary maintains or raises the hypothesis that information about how you would carry out the attack on Madrid was known by some Republicans control before they occur, and possibly this information would have been facilitated by a "pin" from their own Franco's ranks, and the whole history of the discovery of the papers in the possession of Captain Vidal-Quadras killed after falling in his armored car was all a hoax. The author made a number of data and evidence, chained so that they point to the validity of this hypothesis, data all the well documented with Raul Cancio has been gearing up a series of possible alternatives which seem to lead to elimination initial hypothesis. As I say an excellent job of detective investigation almost in line with its earlier work on the circumstances, places and possible causes that resulted in the death of Buenaventura Durruti.

Magazine Cover Front Madrid, where we can encotraba the interesting article by Raúl Cancio published research on the death of the anarchist leader .

But as I say we will not disclose such details of the investigation, for this I recommend that you make a copy of the journal when published, but if we're going to reveal Two such data is often talk in the discussion following the conference. One is the date of the death of Captain Vidal-Quadras, according to the official summary report of casualties signed by two officers of General Varela, the death occurred on day 6 in the morning, then how is that to this day 7 is not documentation delivered to Colonel Vicente Rojo to the dinner?. Another question that was raised both in the conference and the ensuing discussion, is the simple fact that a captain, had her Order No. 15 signed by the General Varela and also take her up when he went to fight on the front line. Of course, for the interesting discussion I affirm that this order, important fact that many of these were unaware, is preserved today, and that file is part of the Communist Party who was taken to the Soviet Union, and today still remains in Russia.

One of the books used by the author which supports the hypothesis of a possible performance of services intelegencia Republicans to neutralize the attack and should be completed with the capture of Madrid .

options are managed for and against these data, including "Moncloveño" said to have read works of several authors questioned the fact that Vidal had died on day 6, and others who could explain the fact that the order of operations carried over. "Moncloveño" kindly sent me texts and their origin, which happened to transcribe below.

A group formed to review Ansaldo tanks.

First we have the text of Colonel José María Manrique García author of numerous papers and articles related to the Civil War including the one entitled "More on Italian cars 1936-1939. Part 2 Battle of Madrid "magazine published in English Military History No. 4 July-August 2000 where we find the following: "The car company Italians spent the night of June in the town of Villaverde with legionaries and regular forces indigenous composing forces Tella and seven in the morning ready to continue the advance to Madrid. During the day one of the cars the company will be immersed in an episode of great importance in the aconteciminetos. Tella forces were scheduled that day forward toward the Puente de la Princesa, but Republican positions began about two km. north of the town of Villaverde, cutting the road was Andalucía.Se an extensive line of defense was based on the Usera district and covered the settlements Orcasitas, The Pearl, the Popular Madrid and the Carolinas, as well as different sections of the railroad tracks that ran through the area. It was composed of an intricate system of trenches that were based on existing buildings in the area, where defenders were strongly fortified. Along the axis of the road from Toledo, the tank company went to the Hill area of \u200b\u200bthe Dump (in that spot now stands Zofia district) and the upper area of \u200b\u200bthe district of Usera, from where they were beaten by fire republican troops. At this point the cars of the Second Section moved to the left followed by the Third Force and the First on the right followed by a tabor of the Mehal-la, but a stream with plenty of water and muddy soil (probably the stream Pradolongo) prevented the progression of Fiat Ansaldo L 3 / 35. The crews of the cars were ready to find a better way under enemy fire while infantry units that accompanied them stopped at a safe distance. The two guns of one of the cars of the Second Section malfunctioned and the vehicle's occupants had to find shelter for them back in service. When this car was incorporated back into combat crew was informed that it needed help tow the vehicle of Captain Vidal-Cuadras, who was stranded in a ditch and the driver's hatch open. The car had been attacked with hand grenades by the police Lieutenant Colonel Trucharte defending this sector and was in the range of the enemy, preventing any landing approach. At night, the officer commanding the Second Section of cars (Lieutenant Tamariz) and a soldier, managed to close up about 20 meters from the vehicle and from there called their occupants (Captain Vidal Cuadras, Major of the car and José M. Gordillo, a driver acting requeté), no answer, so left the scene convinced they had died, returning to the village of Villaverde guided by the glow of some lights. The car was inspected shortly after by the militiamen who defended this area they found the body of Captain Vidal-Cuadras diverse military documentation which was then forwarded to the General Staff of the Defence of Madrid, where he quickly appreciate the importance of finding " . As seen here says that the death occurred on day 7, coinciding with other authors, including Martínez Bande. So the question is: how can we see recorded on day 6 in the Journal of Operations Varela?.


The other plants on which doubt Order was held by Captain Vidal-Quadras. Perhaps the answer can be found in this text Infiesta José Luis Perez, who also signs his works under the pseudonym ALCOFAR JL NASSER, published in Army magazine published by the Ministry of Defence: "As part of this column occupied Borox Esquivias and on October 24, capturing a large bus that had belonged to the Banda Municipal de Madrid which was available until the dissolution of "Raggrupamento." Esquivias died in the first Italian unit, the foreman Giuseppe Pittondo. The 28 started to operate with the Barron column by Illescas, Tanks and nectarines then returned to the monastery column which had been entrusted with a delicate mission: to meet the long flanks of the attackers from Toledo near Madrid, still unguarded. By then cars were already under the command of English Captain Vidal Cuadras, because as has been said, the captain Oreste Fortuna had been wounded and evacuated. " As you can see, if you really correspond to reality what is presented in this article, then drive cars, addressed one of the orders signed by Varela, was under the command of the captain, which would explain that document in his power.

A group of tanks identical to the driven by Captain Vidal-Cuadras directed forward at an unspecified location, maybe Madrid?.

And here chronicle friends and the summary of an interesting collection of games that bullfighting was very good game between the fans and will surely give you much more from the publication of the magazine article that Madrid Front presented next Tuesday, November 16 at seven in the evening as well in the unique and monumental part of Lourdes College, where the famed right intervene Antonio Morcillo "President" with a new sample bullfighting games this time will focus on the central issue of the journal article that appears: "The Bridge of Death", ie the bridge, or bridges to be exact, which the army lay on the Manzanares Franco throughout the war to maintain contact with the wedge established in the City University and Hospital. This structure was a part, or continuation of the communication channel that was built in the House and took the name of the Generalissimo track, on which Antonio Morcillo and wrote a lengthy and detailed article in the CC of this publication . We are confident that both the conference as the subsequent discussion will be of great interest, since in this particular issue Gefrema has much to say because, thanks to research carried out since this association is located and cataloged the remains of the military structure still preserved and thanks to this initiative can now be visited.

Home magazine's 18th Front of Madrid to be presented on Tuesday November 16 and whose cover story is an interesting study on the bridge across the river Manzanares communicated wedge forces established by Franco on the university campus and the Clinical to the rear.

If you allow me some advice, if you are interested in history and in particular of the Civil War period, must not miss the monthly conferences organized by the association, characterized by objectivity and historical accuracy in a topic highly politicized and often manipulated as is the Civil War. In addition to that as I said earlier the discussions, or chats, are even more interesting if possible, than the conferences themselves. And take from these lines to launch the virtual space Sandoval repeats a phrase regularly referring to the "Evening of Lourdes" throwing stones and hiding the hand "cool and sevido Catalan Cava by a waiter and in the Blanquerna I know that is not possible, but a wine with a Thumbelina Madrid at the end of the debate would no more " . What has this man tables, but tables ... Florentino

DEJA VU

By our special correspondent
Florentino Sanders
Sometimes things happen for us we can not find explanation from the right, experiences that sometimes overwhelm and frighten us. To explain these phenomena since ancient times humans have resorted to superstition and the supernatural. One of these phenomena is known as DEJA VU, which is nothing else than the feeling that certain people have been before in a place, or that what is happening at a particular time and have previously lived . This particular phenomenon has many interpretations, some attribute it to the individual experiencing these episodes has supernatural powers and premonitions (remember the case of lizard), but some attributed to the intervention of various spirits and demons, being a much-studied phenomenon in Haiti which is linked inevitably to the practice of voodoo rites. Personally I can not confirm nor deny that this is true or not, but when in doubt, better not to stir it and let the forces of the underworld spirits and calm, which, unfortunately, by the imperatives of fashion brought from outside the insistent hand of advertising , the hidden cultural imperialism and economic interests are not doing. Ladies and gentlemen readers Indeed, until recently Spain was a peaceful country from the esoteric point of view, where everything was tied up and neatly tied, if any witch or similar had the audacity to express it hit a fire in the holy town square and Easter or holy embers here there was no devil can transform himself with the quarry that we have always first figure of exorcism, real galactic swab management and the missal was a pleasure to watch them, that elegance in the management of the foal, which domain of dialectics in interrogation, and of course, that way of blessing. They bless you who have seen them, and drew the gesture, pointing sideways index and middle fingers upright position, although slightly muscle-flexing, so that defining a unique elegant foreshortening motion from top to bottom and from left to right, put the village square on its head. His art was such that numerous evidence indicating that even the heretics themselves freely confessed being flamed about to be tied to a pole, they burst into tears of emotion to be blessed that way. Conversions that dear readers, that as spectacular autos where there was missing a single detail had cakes authentic worldwide to see them acting, even from the Vatican were invited to tour mass. It is well known for the unique trio of exorcists patriotic during the sixteenth century traveled throughout Europe and parts of the New World in massive tournées, arousing a passion in their path, even to act several times before the popes in Rome. This unique triplet would be known worldwide as "The Three Divine" which art gentlemen, art ...

final apotheosis of the performance of one of those legendary world famous patriotic inquisitors who for centuries kept our country free of demons and hauntings, until the foreign fashions and the lack of vocations have left us orphans paranormal protection. (Still from the film "The History of the World" by Mel Brooks, which parodied Torquemada in a musical number.)

But those were different times, as we have imported cultural fashions are doing a lot of damage our ancestral and traditional Hispanic culture with the subsequent loss of one of those essential values \u200b\u200bthat made us establish ourselves in the spiritual reservoir of the West. As you may have observed in recent years has been at the cutting edge of the dress monster, witch, incubus, succubus, vampire, werewolf and similar raleas and lying to roam the streets dressed in that guise, making bottle if necessary, with attendant side effects. Imagine one of these young people dressed mummy vampire or staggering through the streets, what a pathetic spectacle, if Bela Lugosi raise his head. Without going further told me the other day Moncloveño in the now famous and terrifying night knock on the door of his farm in the Moncloa, and opening the right door met a group of young transfigured to a casting or the Munsters Bewitched. Had not left his astonishment when one of the young men asked:

- Trick or Treat?.

Moncloveño
To which, you know a person as old-fashioned, after some moments of doubt answered

- As a slap you'll know what a trick. Bullshit!.

And we want more, to the impressive size and muscle ronaldea this right, which terror came running through the park like a soul that takes the devil, were this group of youngsters unconscious.

As you can see and are not respected and the rest of the first figures. But the most serious of all is that they are not gauging the consequences this may bring foreign cultural invasion, if we had not had enough hamburgers and cholesterol involved and that has caused so much trouble now with these calls and satanic rites , although it says they are a joke, we are faced with something unknown we do not know where we lead, especially now that we are totally helpless, having lost that tremendous quarry Teacher of exorcism, that's Valdebebas antisatanismo we enjoy for centuries the English, and now because of this terrible crisis of vocations, an inescapable consequence of general loss of patriotic values, we are orphans at the mercy of the powers telluric . I can not affirm or deny it, but after the strange phenomena that we saw in the last path Gefrema and narrate in detail below, the question hangs in the air and do not know if the response corresponds to Rouco Varela or Iker Jiménez But dear readers, we can not remain impassive in the face this serious threat looms. What need had the English Jalogüines and nights of Valpurgis?. That is why the Holy Father to say that the present anti-clericalism in Spain is very worrying.

Those attending the race start to take their places in the stands.

But back to the spring morning last Sunday that celebrated the central run of the traditional Feria de San Assault on Big Week gefremeras parties. And again the sign was made by Antonio Morcillo solo "President", which again faced the iron bulls "Chuchos" a fresh onslaught of cattle which like to the first figures, nothing to do with these difficult and challenging cattle with which they are accustomed to dealing poster child bullfighters, but not of less value, as "Fuze" or own "Finite Hortaleza" that we deal with real critters seen on tasks of real risk. With the livestock and the famed right-handed, llenazo and success are assured, yet this year but missed some of the earliest known figures and other important personalities in the gefremaquia, with notable absences of some prominent members of Gefremaburó. With a particularly notable absence and felt by all good amateurs especially when dealing with these areas so well known and well studied, that of Luis de Vicente "Manzanares" that from here we want to send a big hug and we expect to see deal again very soon. But there if they were fans always, really, "Finite Hortaleza", "wishbone" Camorra, "Sandoval" and his assistant "The student works," "Chato de Sales," John Smith "Greenfinch" "Architect", "El Niño of the hill", "Pirate Roberts", "Picofierro" and a long list of good fans, those of always, never fail and maintaining this tradition of ancient tradition, this tradition as ours. It also would cast lacks the presence of the "Layer" (who could not attend due to scheduling problems, as he was attending the ceremony Tobalina Valley Design Awards 2010, picking up the award had been granted), and which without a doubt, given their expertise in these matters, fans would have liked to know his opinion on some of the sets that were developed during the morning.

CSI Gefrema Two experts examine one of the mysterious and enigmatic holes in the wall.

fans moved to the place of the fight on a bus chartered by the City for the occasion that came from Moncloa, and that in a few minutes brought the fans to the monumental arena of the Casa de Campo. There they waited for the teacher with some of the crew members and one of the unfailing balls are always next to the greats (and not want to name names), and the fans take their places in the stands began diestrus paseillo entering the ancient door Aravaca between a given public acclaim. The teacher wears an elegant suit the occasion, with satchel mimicked that merges with the jacket albero cobalt, slippers and glasses tinted decathlon journey. While we need to put a clothing but this torero. It is well known the fame that accompanies it is well known that major brands are willing to spend large amounts sponsoring, but we are totally averse from this wording that bullfighters wear advertising in the suit of lights, as happened yesterday overburden the matador jacket and where we can contemplate trademarks printed on these garments, a little serious gentlemen.





Three photographs one of the many holes we can find throughout the perímero the wall of the Casa de Campo, whose explanation for its origin is still not fully confirmed, "or other utility pockets?.

began the teacher with a copy of crenellated wall of the cattle Carlos Tercero, bar in batter and pronghorn in flint and brick mason, impressive Mop, very much in the type that would continue to see throughout the morning, which the teachers spoke at length with a series of successful sets in which he discovered all the characteristics and origins of these specimens, which have the particularity of being marked with a regular gaps that are repeated in all copies and almost always in the same place. As indicated by "President" everything indicates that these fire marks were made during the process of fortification of the capital in October 1936 to defend against the advancing troops of Franco. These loopholes would be used, in some areas, as evidenced by the presence of archaeological remains of ammunition, but in periods to be determined. This was the hypothesis that he was "President" but as always in these matters of faith always has to be some agnostic who did not quite convincing explanation, and certainly not chisposo may be missing in the stands, ambushed among the public that shouted: "It was the peak mason" or "those gaps are brick peak."

A unique moment of lucid and remove the "Greenfinch" in the Cerro de Covatllas under the watchful eye of "President."

continued his task, recreating the same right to other individuals, to reach the hill of Covatilla where fans were able to see some beautiful "trincherazos" on the ruins of Casa Quemada, and which could also assist some great take away that led to righties "Greenfinch" and "Architect", the latter helped by spectacular and colorful mapped luxuriously coats brought for the occasion and would be used at various stages of the fight.

But it was at this point that I realized that something strange and unusual was happening. Sandoval had long been watching and I had noticed that something was wrong, he was paler than usual and looking as lost, something that could be attributed to the actual climb the hill, or the fact of having been up all night giving walks. Anyway I went to ask:

- Sandoval Are you all right?.

- Not good, I know that I can think of is a strange feeling, like I've been here before, as if she had lived through it ... Morcillo, people, the hill, the wall, the pockets, November ... below is another gate, the Moors came here ... I've been through this already. I'm afraid I'm having a DEJA VU.

alarm bells ringing, this was more serious than it might imagine, there was an DEJA VU, but also could be a collective phenomenon, try to calm even the type of white lies that Dani Alves is a beautiful person and the like, the important thing was that panic broke out among the attendees.

shocking and disturbing picture where we can appreciate what may be two gaseous ectoplasm moves with the bulk of the fans. In this formulation we can say categorically that this photo was not doctored or manipulated.

I went the route and see how other participants expressed experiencing the same phenomenon, even I myself could feel what I had already lived. You had to stick together, it was necessary to avoid a stampede among participants. Definitely the fact this route just a week Jalogüin night had its disastrous consequences, probably was a victim of some spell or enchantment no doubt caused by some invocation made on that fateful morning. What I brought to mind a conversation with Mocloveño, which told me that once Moncloveño II (who despite his youth already shows an undeniable talent) said: "War and reading so many books gefremerías any day you will end up like Don Quixote, and you'll go to the park with a shotgun to shoot the enemy. " And dear readers there could be the key to the problem, like Don Quixote, something similar may be happening in the ranks gefremeras, and if Don Quixote deceived by a spell of Freston Wise giants where he saw mills, perhaps misled by Gefrema a spell the crafty interecónomo "Miralpantallín Vidalmoa of" who wants to confuse and closer to his kingdom of darkness to finish with the rigor and objectivity of Gefrema, and we are seeing trenches where he spent a torrent, loopholes in the walls instead of gaps, bases for machine-gun tripod where only ditches, impacts by pecking, and shields Republicans where one nineteenth century. Watchfulness must be hereafter.

Again doubts arise when cataloging what we could find along the way: shot brick or peak?, "impacts on a tree or the work of peak boll? and finally painted "a period of war or the work of a tontolculo XXI Century?. You be the judge dear readers.

I also call attention to another phenomenon that if you should consider as something paranormal but in a country like Spain is something normal. As mentioned, or hinted above, the wall was built by Carlos III and now only because of its age, uniqueness and historical value should be given some protection, not only from government, but also by individuals and individual citizens. But walking around the perimeter of this building we can see the mischief and atrocities have been committed on this monument, which would surely be impossible to happen in other countries. On the wall we can see traditional bobotontos painted the spray, go there will be no walls or other places instead of having to come to harm a historic wall, but it also, and this is much more serious, the wall used by individuals who have plots of their homes next to it, and in some cases have been built above it, or have used to put their fences and other security measures, but inexplicably the City or who has done nothing appropriate.

As you can see for homeland shame, a remnant of undeniable historical value is used WITHOUT ANY shame for a particular purpose to the total apathy and inaction of the administrations.


went the route between a murmur of surprise from the fans, who were beginning to be aware of the phenomenon on its people was taking place, there was an DEJA VU mass. I also recalled that some years ago also in these parts beside the gefremeros fans came and went militiamen dressed beings, of which I now wonder if it would be spirits. All was confusion, until we reach a point where "President" showed a single, which had two brands, which can not be contained Sandoval said: "This hill is very esoteric." It seemed that this would be the spark that would alarm bells ringing but fortunately snack time (which was used by some for an outdoor beach bar on the door of shooting) warmed the spirits and the thing was over.

Unique canvas wall where two "loopholes" in the same cloth together, leading to a Sandoval to say "This hill is very esoteric." And the other side painted bobo de rigueur.

neat finished this task with a visit to the Snake Bridge Area, where two magazines dealt Morcillo between vociferous cheers of the unconditional and showed the location of a new, ending in an apotheosis central corrida de la Feria de San Assault with the traditional picture of the family in the Portillo Zarzón., after which he visited the bars where the Meaques enters the park and adjacent historic dairy farm, after which "President" was carried on the shoulders until your vehicle, while the square burst into a thunderous and heartfelt ovation.

Familes Photo festival goers with the wicket of Zarzón, named in honor of an ancestor of Moncloveño large that nearly joining the Lakers .

With the situation calmed down and again asked Sandoval to his condition, to which he replied: "Certainly we have seen a strange process of unfolding multidimensional, where the combination of different factors interacting synchronously in different periods Temporary space has led ESP has doomed us to a phenomenon of perception parasympathetic equidistant. Without excluding the possible influence of neural synapses, causing a perception adrenal dream with cleavage ion within the medulla, resulting even daring hypothesis, we should not dismiss as the culmination of the cognitive process leading to this dysfunction . " At the end of the sentence Sandoval, panic gripped me. No doubt, Sandoval had been possessed, it was impossible for a person who has achieved excellence in the management of monosyllables and the academic domain of conjecture, could link a series of statements like that had just made without having been abducted by an evil entity or at least with a bad temper. Had to act quickly and rescue Sandoval body expelling all know who had possession of his person, or that at least contemplating such loophole left him "tronao." In the absence of an exorcist on call, this is sensed as a mission for the third. Accompanied by a brave group composed of "wishbone", "Camorra", "The Student" and "Fuencarral" get carried to a nearby bar Sandoval (also had to insist a lot, that's the truth), which after a lightning action a seen and unseen the third, Sandoval was able to regain his personality, what we saw when he began to mess with the Real Madrid and insulting Mourinho and Ronaldo. And no doubt, again be the same as always.

Top attendees can view the route watching the remains of the Casa de los Pinos, and the bottom photo courtesy a Iker Jiménez and program Cuarto Milenio, obtained with the latest techniques in paranormal photography we saw two spirits of former combatants maniefiestan with those ruins on the full moon.

But our joy would be short, while we were chatting amiably, Sandoval suddenly stare at an undetermined point staring as gone, while choking when drinking, which scared us back, as she said words that were unintelligible again fear the worst:

- Dejabú ... Dejabú ... ...
Dejabú
Alarmed asked:

- What do you think Sandoval, What do you want?.

to what has already recovered from the choking said

- A Jabu go and one of ali-oli, thanks. And since I do them as generous, too another third, which has been gone this force.

You see, dear readers, we worried and was looking at the list of rations at the top of the bar, which tables have this man. Knows all, would be able to swipe the Gayumbo Buscón himself.

And here the record of this remarkable run, marked by the paranormal happenings and leaves many puzzles in the air, can be pockets?, Will they be gaps?, Keep reporting and investigating fellow readers. By the way, I'd swear that this review had already written, is not it?. Florentino

TORO MIGUEL HERNANDEZ AND THE OUTSTANDING

Portrait of Miguel Hernandez held in jail for his friend, the writer Antonio Buero Vallejo also imprisoned after the war. (Click on any image to enlarge).

MIGUEL HERNANDEZ Y EL TORO


As the bull I was born for
mourning and pain, like the bull I am marked by an iron
infernal side
and men in the groin as a result

On 30 October the hundredth anniversary of the birth of Miguel Hernández. For this reason they have been very numerous this year acts and events held to honor and remember the poet Orihuela, exhibitions, congresses, conferences, new editions of books, records and tours, and many others that give us an idea of \u200b\u200bthe dimension of life and work of Miguel Hernandez has reached one hundred years after birth. Centennial which have turned a number of government regardless of the ideology of each, from the Government of Spain to the Generalitat Valenciana, as different politically. Although perhaps most striking is the fact that the Commission's Centennial Chair Miguel Hernández dependent government and whose main mission is to coordinate and promote the various activities between administrations and between different public and private entities, this presided over by Their Majesties the King and Queen of Spain. You see you dear readers, if the other day we pointed out the paradox that the Royal Box of the Plaza de Las Ventas was opened by the President, today we see as the Kings preside over a commission to honor a convinced republican and was Miguel Hernández. How could it be otherwise in this country of sun, barrier and burst, the controversy was served, and there have been accusations of opportunism or hypocrisy between entities and individuals. To which we add the juicy subsidies and grants they do forget a lot of their ideals, or perhaps more accurately, causing some to show their true ideals when the opportunity arises and chop. But from this page removed from any controversy, we think that the title of an old movie to er mundo e Bueno "and let us focus on what is the bull-guerracivilera chronic.

The poet in his hometown in honor of Ramon Sijé.

We do not want these pages to a review of the literary career of Miguel Hernández, neither want nor can that we're going to cheat, but if we would highlight the presence of the bull in his work. As you know Miguel Hernandez was a shepherd in his youth and it seems that both his grandfather and father were horse traders, many of which were used in the fate of rods of bullfighting in the region, so that the relationship the poet with the field, cattle and bullfighting would be present in your life from an early age, and perhaps influenced by the presence of the bull it is present from his earliest works. In turn, the bull is the ultimate totem animal, the bull's fertility, strength, life and death, struggle and indomitable spirit, and some identify the bull with Spain, without a doubt, the bull is a poetic device that could not miss work as a poet Miguel Hernández.

In the picture above to see Miguel Henández with his three brothers and underneath a photo of your house in the town of Orihuela Alicante.

From his early work the bull is present in his poetry, and in 1933 moved to the People's University of Cartagena to give his lecture on his "Elegy half of Toro" which would have to use a poster painted by Francisco de Die, that the poet would end up lost in the train. Also around that time write a poem titled "Run Real" divided into seven parts: Cartel, Plaza, Toro, Toro and Horses, and Banderillero Toro, Toro and pawn and finally Toro Torero.

Miguel Hernandez photographed in Cartagena.

poet In 1934 he moved to Madrid, and again the bullfighting world is going to cross in his life, and thanks to the mediation of some of his friends, especially Ray Murciano holder kings, began to collaborate in the drafting of a great encyclopedia taurine: "Los Toros. Technical and Historical Treaty, better known as "El Coss". A daunting task that starts with an idea of \u200b\u200bJoseph Ortega y Gasset and will develop José María de Cossio, a writer and bibliophile, whose extensive work may have been overshadowed by the monumental encyclopedia. Jose Maria de Cossio addition actively involved in the genesis of what would be the Class of 27, without forgetting that Jose Maria de Cossio would be academic language, President of Ateneo de Madrid, and also Chairman of Racing Santander.

This job will allow Michael to survive without capital shortage at the summit, thanks to the "forty dollars" receiving monthly as salary and allow him to continue writing. His main task will be to gather information forcing you to spend long hours at the National Library, as well as to organize tabs and also to write a biography of fighters, according to words of Miguel Hernández of all bullfighters have or might have, "including Espartero Antonio Reverte, lizards and Tragabuches whose biographies would be written by the great poet. Highlight Tragabuches biography, a curious character. Ulloa named Joseph born in Ronda in the second half of SXVII, in the heart of a gypsy family. Study at the school that Pedro Romero was in the mountain town, and had great fame. Marry a popular dancer also known as The Baby of which he was deeply in love. One night party to bullfight bullfighter in Malaga, with the misfortune of suffering a fall from his horse to leave the town and have to return to Ronda with a damaged arm, surprising his wife with a young lover. After stabbing the young man threw his wife off the balcony, then fleeing to the mountains. It would be hanged, but not before having to be dragged and then barreling after his death sentence which was not fulfilled because they can not be located. After the war of Independence in 1815 many were formed bandit gangs, most notably all those who would be known as the Seven Children of Ecija, which was part of a known as the Gypsy, the most brutal and murderous of them all, which proved to be another Tragabuches. Many of the components of the gang were captured and executed, but not suffer the same fate Tragabuches, which still do not know how his life ended.

The poet in the cemetery of Orihuela in 1936.

Returning to Miguel Hernandez, also highlight the figure of Ignacio Sánchez Mejías, a bullfighter illustrated as Cossio would be present at the birth of the Generation of 27. This writer and bullfighter, brother of the great Joselito, die after being caught by a bull in the Plaza de Manzanares, his death would cause a commotion. Lorca would devote a tremendous elegy "Lament for Ignacio Sánchez Mejías", and in turn inspire Miguel Hernandez in his life and death to create his play "The most courageous bullfighter." Anecdotally, for all those talk about football and bulls as the new opium of the people and quarry of illiteracy, noting that if Jose Maria de Cossio was president of Racing, it would Sánchez Mejías Betis, without a doubt "two uneducated."

But dear readers if you really want to know in more detail as the bull is present in the work of Miguel Hernandez did not just read the record of this modest pen, much apprentice and master of none, and visit the various pages on this issue and the poet can find online. If you allow me some advice I would recommend only two among many others so they can get an idea of \u200b\u200bthe magnitude of the presence of taurine in the work of Miguel Hernandez:

EL TORO EN LA OBRA DE MIGUEL HERNÁNDEZ. Ramón Fernández Palm.

http://www.revistaperito.com/Eltoroenlaobrademiguel.htm

Alicante As we see the poet becomes established in Madrid, with a direct relationship with the world of bullfighting. Hernandez while also beginning to establish contact with politics, moving to Communist ideals, no doubt influenced by Alberti and Neruda, among others. The poet develops an intense activity, both literary and social and political, in 1936 published "The ray that does not stop." But in the summer of that year, everything would change radically with the uprising of July. From the first time Michael was heavily involved in defending the Republic developed a frenetic pace, entering on 23 September at the Fifth Regiment, formed volunteers from communist ideology to occur July 18 coup.

An image of Miguel Henández pictured with other militants in the courtyard of the Salesians of Francos Rodríguez, home of the 5th Regiment.

Miguel Hernández, unlike other poets and intellectuals, not to stay behind and we can find on the front line, which would build a great friendship with the Cuban writer Pablo de la Torriente, who would perish in battle Majadahonda on 19 December. The Cubans would be buried in Barcelona wearing a sheepskin jerkin the poet Alicante had given him to attend funeral Miguel Hernández would read his "Elegy second" composed in memory of his friend

"I will stay in Spain mate" I said with a gesture
love. And finally
without your warrior thundering
building on the grass in Spain you have been.

home the attack in which news is collected by the Cuban Pablo de la Torriente, a friend of Miguel Hernández in Majadahonda pass away during the fighting in December 1936.

Miguel develops an intense activity as cultural curator always on the front line and within the Alliance of Antifascist Writers who was based in a mansion near the Puerta de Alcala, former residence of a noble, a building equipped with all amenities including a well-stocked cellar, which also became the residence of Rafael Teresa Alberti and León. According to the testimony of Benjamin Prado who told him in person Alberti himself one night Miguel Hernandez arrived at the palace that came from the hard and bloody fighting that developed in the outskirts of Madrid, finding that all present were disguised Marquis's clothes holding a large and lively party. Shocked and outraged the poet cry: "Here so there is much gentleman and great whore ", receiving a resounding slap response that led to the María Teresa León own. You see friends as you write the story.

The poet reading his poems to the soldiers at the front of Extremadura.

Hernandez published during the war "Viento del Pueblo", symbol of the poet, a collection of poems about war and the struggle of the people. Also civil marriage contract by Josefina Manresa during the war, and shortly before the end of the war would end "Man stalks, a book that is miraculously saved, and which was prepared in Valencia to be distributed just after the war, ordering the new authorities it was destroyed, but miraculously kept two copies of them saved by Jose Maria de Cossio. In addition to these two titles would write a number of newspaper articles and several plays, travel to Moscow and participate in the International Congress of Intellectuals in Defense of Culture. But we can say that his work is written in the same trenches, as the poet is present in front of Madrid, Extremadura and Andalusia, among others.

Miguel Hernandez and his wife Josephine in front of Jaen in the spring of 1937.

After the war rejects exile at the Embassy of Chile, as recommended Neruda (although I remember reading some qualification to this information) and also decides to go outside Spain. Returns to his village and from there try to go to Portugal, where the Portuguese police handed him over to English authorities (apparently a gold watch, wedding gift from Vicente Alexandre, was it that raised the suspicions of the border agent Luso) and the poet goes through various prisons until he is released. Back to Orihuela, where he again was arrested and tried in 1940 after being sentenced to death, but the intervention of friends, again including Jose Maria de Cossio, get to commute the sentence to life imprisonment. From that point begins a pilgrimage to various prisons, where they compose "Song and Ballads of Absence." He died the poet poet March 28, 1942 in Alicante prison because of tuberculosis. From the testimonies of different people, Miguel Hernández pass away with their eyes wide open and would not be possible to close.

Alicante Another portrait of the poet by another fellow prisoner.

Serve this modest chronicle, which appears again the world of bullfighting basting with the history of Spain, as a reminder and tribute to the poet in his centenary. Miguel Hernandez is probably the most prominent symbol of the tragedy and the unreasonableness of the English Civil War, in which there were many other anonymous Miguel Hernández. If we start this story with a poem in which the poet is identified with the bull, ended up with one in which the poet identifies with a bull Spain again, and enjoying the benefits that technology offers us, we offer a document of great value history, a video can you hear the poet himself reciting his poetry to find the end of this chronicle.
