esto es el mejor take que he visto por aquí sobre sebastian la verdad lo de decir q “no era fascista” me parece insuficiente porque participa del mismo régimen aunque sea por su supervivencia y así es como se sustenta el fascismo! pero el punto es que es precisamente esa cobardía

La inteligencia se encuentra muchas veces en una curiosidad intensa pero 0 exhibida, buen sentido del humor, dedicación académica o buenas relaciones lógicas a partir de la memoria.

The movie “wants to be a sweeping historical epic of gay longing—a film about what it means to be a man who desires other men in times of war and peace,” Justin Chang writes. Instead, the directors have produced “a film that insists, arrogantly and aggressively, on its own monumentality”. Even compelling performances from Glenn Close, Penélope Cruz, and Lola Dueñas fail to rescue the extravagantly overwrought film. Read Chang's full review: newyorker.com/culture/the-cu…

Sebastian sides with the Nationalists bc they find him and hand him a gun. He wants to survive. But survival becomes complicity, and "I had no choice" is how so many have justified their complicity in fascism. We sympathize with him, but that doesn't absolve him. And he knows it.

Carlos and Enrique's conversation mirrors Mariana and Fernando's dialogues in Lorca's Mariana Pineda.
—"what do you want of me?"
—"perhaps i want a lot too much, which makes it hard for me to say."
