A whole generation of moviegoers have grown up speaking English not as much as it sounds but as it resonates. With echo Because the first cinema, the one that one sees in childhood, is not only seen but it is he who looks at you. Half a life goes with every shot of a movie of this subject that has just died. Or it stays half a life, according to. Kirk in the imagination of a Chinchón boy who dreamed without knowing very well what Kirk ' duglas ' was. With U. Then, when the son appeared we learned that it was with a, Michael ' daglas '. The first thing that comes to mind is the feeling of loss. Kirk dies and the last representative of a sacred Hollywood leaves. I mean so much the classic Hollywood that the books say as the Hollywood that came to Spain transformed into a strange paradise where it was reflected just the opposite of what was living in a fucking gray Spain. He reminded us that, indeed, there was more, there was another world. And it had nothing to do with the world we were in.

Kirk Douglas (always pronounce ' duglas ') was everything in this trade and it was from the rogue who always managed to be. He was not a hero to use, like everyone else. He always had an ace up his sleeve. He always showed himself helpless and then achieved everything. Including the girl. It's funny to imagine what his reaction had to be when he learned that his son was addicted to sex. "But is that really a problem?" He had to think. For me it has always been an icon, but not a reference. I have always approached this trade from a completely unprecedented naivety and unknown to him.

I think of 'Paths of Glory ', a film that not only starred but produced and invented. And I think of her because just shortly after seeing a few days ago ' 1917 ', by Sam Mendes, I thought about her. There are imperishable films that never end and this is one of them. I think of 'The mud idol '. I think about the movies he made with his friend Burt Lancaster, from ' Duel of the Titans ' to 'Seven Days of May ' with Ava Gadner in the middle, not forgetting 'The Devil's Disciple' . I think of ' Spartacus ' in each of his three memorable scenes with special relevance for the moment of that kind of pagan redemption. He is the authentic Jesus Christ and also with the merit that he is not resurrected. Free man by man without more and without waiting for the third day to return to Earth. It has much more merit, where it goes. We talk about the actor and producer who took Dalton Trumbo from the shadow and who ended the scourge of McCarthyism . I think of KIrk and I think of all the times I named him. Kirk ' duglas ', with u. And with echo.
