(That is, we are all "Boraciòn" *)
Dude / Dean Martin |
Barba to do, stumbled and handful of dust in his underwear, we are so many little dude "Boraciòn" of Dean Martin in modern look of its Rio Bravo and move forward like some silent shadows of Indians, crossing streets and porches in search of answers and redemption. Yes, because we have just sketched a family, a job to defend tooth and to maintain a dignity intact, but life has spoiled us with his revelry, with its undue excesses, and now we have to deal with the reality of facts and with a future fatally predicted by a double-breasted banker. Yet we go forward, with clenched teeth, with a lump in my throat that will never melt, and a fist full of anger and pride solver who sway hugging jeans.
Stumpy / Walter Brennan |
But we are not alone. No, not really. Apart from a small window without light, there is a crippled old man who, broom in hand, cheering for us, emphasizing and exalting himself. "It has nothing in the stomach. Only courage. " supports the dear old Stumpy / Walter Brennan at one point de " Rio Lobo " (Rio Bravo in the U.S. version), accompanied with his croaking voice a Dude / Dean Martin as we advance, finally head high, toward an unknown fate. A deputy sheriff's destiny and no longer by "Boraciòn" any.
Yes, because we all have the right to a petulant Gramps "Stumpy" who accompany us at every step with the sleek look and pointed the gun, that even while we are going to stand guard at Burdette or a mortgage thirty years. We all have a right to a better groomed and some deep feeling every now and then, a slap and a caress, no matter where they arrive. We all have the right to be wrong, of collapse, staggering to think again and go back on our feet as the "Boraciòn" Dude: a loser hero.
