Movie: Nazareno Cruz y el lobo (Nazareno Cruz and the Wolf)

Director: Leonardo Favio

Year: 1975

Country: Argentina

Genre: Horror

"Nazareno Cruz is a young Gaucho living in a rural town. He is known for being the seventh son of his father, and so he is seen by the locals as the victim of the werewolf curse. Despite this he lives happily in the community. When Nazareno is about to turn 18 he meets Griselda and they both fall in love. Soon after, "Mandinga" (the Devil) presents himself to Nazareno and explains that his curse is real. Mandinga makes Nazareno a proposition: if Nazareno gives up his love, he will receive in exchange his freedom and many riches. Nazareno refuses the deal and eventually turns into a werewolf, becoming involved in a series of tragedies."

BRING THE DYSTOPIAN FUTURE HOME ON SEPTEMBER 14, 2004 -- FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER ON DVD.

PIC INFO: Spotlight on a promotional advert for "THX 1138," the 1971 American social science fiction film co-written and directed by George Lucas in his directorial debut. The print advert was meant to promote the film's first ever director's cut and release on home media and was featured in "STAR WARS Insider" #78 (October 2004).

""I realized after "THX" that people don’t care about how the country’s being ruined,” he said. “All that movie did was to make people more pessimistic, more depressed and less willing to get involved in trying to make the world better.” His real point was: You can stop things going this way; you can be part of the solution. He just didn't say it in a direct and easily chewable way. With all the talent involved, "THX 1138" became a cult classic over time. And when Lucas revisited the movie in 2003, he wasn’t as heavy-handed with additions as he was with some of his other movies (see the original "STAR WARS" trilogy).

Watching the movie in the light of those later successes, it's easy to note that a great deal of the work can be seen as a prototype for Lucas' later visual achievements. (The movie’s name is also preserved in his THX audiovisual-reproduction company.) “No film ever ends up exactly as you would like it to," he reflected. "But with minor exceptions, "THX" came out pretty much as I had visualized it, thanks to some excellent assistance – and a whole lot of luck."" -- ULTIMATE CLASSIC ROCK, "50 Years Ago: "STAR WARS" Begins with George Lucas’ "THX 1138,"" by Martin Kielty, March 11, 2021

i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.

#i often wonder about how many things would be considered classic or high art had they only received the marketing #how many short films that were made for class could have been the most powerful thing you'd ever seen? if you'd seen them? #“you know the greatest films of all time were never made” etc etc #but like. these works of art ARE being made. it's just enjoyed by a smaller audience with equal impact though #i think about this one furry i used to follow on insta who had the coolest worldbuilding ever. it's been years. #thought prompted by that sketch of nimona from ten years ago that was just for a character design #posted to the creator's tumblr and now it's nominated for best animated feature film at the oscars #and by the genuine emotional reaction a fan comic made me feel. how much work had gone into it. how beautiful it was to me. #idk what to tag this but i hope whoever needs to hear it does #writing #writer #fandom #fandom culture #artist
