Found this Gael interview from 2006 in the comments section on another interview. Accidental rabbit hole.

2006 New York Post interview:

It's not for nothing that Gael Garcia Bernal was twice cast as revolutionary Che Guavara. The Mexican actor is as charismatic as he is outspoken - especially when it comes to issues concerning his native country.

He's also responsible for some serious box-office magic back home: 2001's "Y Tu Mama Tambien" was the biggest opening weekend ever for a Mexican film, and 2002's "The Crime of Father Amaro" was the most successful Mexican film in history (and possibly the most controversial - he played a secretly non-celibate Catholic priest).

Bernal is currently starring in director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's "Babel," alongside Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett, and was recently seen riding a stop-motion stuffed horse in Michel Gondry's fantastical film "The Science of Sleep."

Q: Mexican directors are hot right now. Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu made waves with "Amores Perros" and "21 Grams." Alfonso Cuaron did it with "Y Tu Mama Tambien." Is Mexico becoming a center for film?

A: There's definitely a worldwide sense that Mexican cinema is pretty big, or a bit "in fashion," right now. Latin cinema as a whole, really. There's this rebirth feeling. But this is nothing, for what the country deserves - Mexico is a country of 100 million people. The year "Amores Perros" was made, there were only six films made there! And this year, it's 65. So there's been a big increase.

But unfortunately, in Mexico, it's harder to make a movie, to even contemplate the idea of directing a film - not many people have the opportunity. I'm sure people from the mountains in Oaxaca find it so far away [from their reality] to do a film. And at the same time, it's exactly those kinds of voices that you want to hear.

If I had to stick with one reason why films matter, it's that: getting to know the "other," and finding that the other is not so different than you are. That's what I think of when I feel like I don't want to make movies anymore.

Q: You have moments when you want to get out of movies?

A: Yeah, I mean, sometimes you feel unprepared, you feel untalented, like you're doing something you don't like, or that you're just doing it terribly. Or you don't like the industrial side. But at the end of the day, there is always that thing. I want to do films because I am an audience first, and films have made me know more about the other - and that the other doesn't exist, really.

Q: Which is one of the points of "Babel." But some people, like the busload of U.S. and British tourists, come across worse than others, don't they?

A: Well, there's two points of view about this movie - you can see that, OK, the people from the U.S. are portrayed as scared people, really worried about health and dirt. But you can also see the other side: Why are the ones that die always from poor countries? We are always the ones that die.

Q: Your character in "Babel" makes pretty bad decisions after he's stopped by an aggressive cop at the U.S.-Mexican border. Have you, or someone you know, ever experienced anything like that?

A: My character makes a bad mistake in a drunken state. But yeah, when you're Mexican, it's a bit of a situation. You have to apply three months before, and it costs $80 for the visa. Sometimes you have to show bank statements to show you're earning money, you're not coming to the U.S. to work. It's kind of stupid - as if money was a sign of honesty, or goodwill. It's a rite of humiliation. They act as if you are coming here to steal.

Q: Is it easier for you to avoid this than most, though?

A: No, no - the last time I crossed the border, walking, I was asked, "Where do you come from?" And I'm like, "Well, I'm from Mexico." And they say, "No, where do you come from?" And I say, "I come from Mexico." I mean, what am I supposed to explain? And they say, "What were you doing in Mexico?" And I say, "Well, I live there." And they say, "No, but what were you doing right before you came here?"

I'm not gonna answer that. Because - you know, what do you care? We're radicalizing the process of integration, and that's terrible. Because it's going backward in time. But it's not just the U.S.'s fault - Mexico is shamefully not providing a place for people to work and live properly. It's everyone's fault.

Q: Did that experience make you want to avoid the U.S.?

A: No. I mean, we share the same territory! But Bush just signed off on the law to start building a wall. It's the second biggest wall that's ever going to be built, it's going to rival the Great Wall of China. And it costs so much money, and so much human resources. Maybe I'm stating the obvious here, but it's kind of ridiculous to build a wall. Walls are always destroyed eventually.

Q: Aside from acting, your production company organizes a worldwide traveling documentary film festival, Ambulante. Are you planning the 2007 festival yet?

A: Yeah, it's happening in 18 cities, on commercial screens, with a big chain - for half-price! Very cheap, it's like $2. And we're going to get together some 15-20 films, divided into three sections. One section we're calling "Dictator's Cut," which is about censorship. For one of those, we're showing both the "official" version and the real one; the rest are already restored, but some of them were completely not shown. It's very exciting.

Q: Your role in Michel Gondry's "The Science of Sleep" was one of your least political roles - was it fun to cut loose and just be weird?

A: It was great, it was a joy to act in. I had a lot of fun doing it. I think not many people have seen it here. Maybe because it was done in France? I mean, it's got good numbers, but still, I wish it would be much more.

There is still this myth - like, for example, I saw the trailer for [Mexican director Guillermo Del Toro's upcoming film] "Pan's Labyrinth," and they don't show you it's in Spanish. You never see a character speaking. I just think that's cheating, you know?

If they actually tell me that there's this weird Iranian love story - I want to see it, because it's in Iran. If it's about a love story in Florida, well, I've seen that before. I'm interested in the further-away, the more surprising.

Q: Do you ever worry that people will take you less seriously because of your looks?

A: [Laughs] No - there are prettier boys than me.

ruby what are some português shows and movies you’d recommend plssss love you ✌️

Hi!

Hmmmm... that would be available with English subtitles? I'm not sure if Pôr do Sol has English subtitles on Netflix 🤔 it's a tv show that is a parody of portuguese soap operas, but I also don't know if non Portuguese people would be able to catch the references? 🥹 but it's one of my fave things ever created in recent years.

There is also this tv show based on one of my favourite Portuguese book of all time (The Crime of Father Amaro by Eça de Queirós) that has been getting a lot of praise. It tells the story of a young priest who falls in love with a woman and the consequences. There is also a Mexican adaptation of the book with Gael García Bernal, if you're interested 🩷

Runaway - Yandere!Rafael Barba x reader

summary: when you run away from Rafael, he gets the team involved and makes them think someone else is threatening you

warnings: physical assault, rape mention, description of injuries, yelling, slight victim blaming

You should've known better.

Your boyfriend, Rafael Barba, had been getting more and more intense. He was pressuring you to quit your job at SVU, to move in with him, get married. And you weren't ready yet.

Things got ugly one night, however. Rafael was yelling about how you had gotten too invested in a case, and you screamed in his face about how it was because the victim was in the same type of abusive relationship as you were.

He got in your face and you pushed him away from you. He pushed you back, but since he was stronger than you, you fell back and hit your head on the wall.

You cried in pain as Rafael tried to apologize, tears pricking his eyes as he realized he had done to you what his father did to him and his mother.

It didn't stop, though. A sprained wrist here, a bruised rib there. Always where you could hide it, where none of your co-workers could see it. Rafael almost seemed... addicted to it. He got close to raping you a few times, losing control and forcing you to your knees or pushing you over the kitchen table as you sobbed. He always apologized, cried with you, called you sweet names and held you through the night.

And you went on, never complaining, interviewing victims with the same injuries you had. You sat in the courtroom and watched your boyfriend prosecute criminals when you both knew he had done much worse.

—

"We've got a hit. City cameras caught her getting on a bus headed south to New Jersey. Barba and Carisi, you're with me. Fin, head to the station and see if the employees know anything. Amaro and Rollins, keep tracking down (Y/N)'s exes," Olivia announced to Barba and the squad. She grabbed her jacket and headed toward the elevator.

"Thank you, Liv," Barba sighed as he entered the elevator behind her. Carisi followed him, frowning at his pad and paper.

"Sergeant Benson, can you remind me again why this case is in our jurisdiction?" Carisi asked. Barba laughed dryly in response.

"Besides the fact that she's one of our own, she's also considered an endangered missing person. She went missing in Manhattan, and those threatening notes could mean someone is trying to kidnap or hurt her," Olivia stated, drawing in a sharp breath.

Olivia was much more worried about you than she would let on. She'd noticed something wrong for a while, and she grew more worried as you'd come in for your shift close to tears or looking a mess. She even talked to Barba, who had explained that you were dealing with a shitty ex and would be fine.

—

You breathed into your cupped hands as you waited in the cold Newark weather for your bus transfer. It would hopefully bring you to your parents' house, where you could get a clear head and get away from your boyfriend's increasingly abusive tendencies.

You had thought about it in every way. Olivia, your boss who would be the most sympathetic to your case, would still be in denial about her best friend, the sex crimes prosecutor, being abusive towards you.

The DA's office would laugh in your face and give Rafael a slap on the wrist, maybe. You would either have to suck it up and continue working with him or quit your job at SVU, which was a perfect fit for you. Chief Dodds didn't care for you much either, so if anything, you'd likely get demoted to patrolman. No matter what, your professional life would be over.

The bus rolled up, and you allowed yourself to crack a smile. Rafael had never let you visit your family for fear of you telling them what he did. He wanted to build a new family for the two of you, but you never wanted to bring a child into a relationship like that.

You loaded up your suitcase and held your backpack close to your body as you walked through the bus. The blue upholstered seats brought some comfort and you picked a seat facing the aisle, close to the middle of the bus.

You let out a deep breath and waited as the bus filled. You got lost in your thoughts, thinking about how much you missed your mother's cooking and watching television with your father. You could see your family pets running up to you after a year without you.

Your daydreams were interrupted the moment you saw Olivia board the bus, Sonny right behind her. Alarms sounded in your brain and your eyes went wide as you avoided her sympathetic gaze. You looked out the window and sure enough, Rafael was standing there in his signature black coat. He looked worried sick, eyes rimmed with red. His mouth was formed in a tight line.

"Let's get you out of here, okay?" Olivia assured as she put her hand on your shoulder.

"Who put you up to this, (Y/N)? Is someone blackmailing you?" Sonny interrupted as you resisted Olivia's lead. Everyone on the bus stared at the situation unfolding.

"Please don't make me go back," you cried unexpectedly, putting a hand up to your mouth in an effort to mask your crying.

"Whoever it is, we won't let them hurt you again," Sonny promised.

"Please, I can't go back to him, p-please don't make me," you sobbed, curling into Olivia's chest as your sobs got progressively louder and louder.

"Who?"

"It's Rafael. I can't go back to him, I need your help, please!" you said, hiccuping as Olivia held you gently.

Habits of the Heart Ch 1

Warnings: Language, mentions of alcohol, mentions of cheating, some anxiety.

“5’s are in, Benson said we’re good ta go.” Sonny spoke, you glanced up at your partner from your desk, “Ya wanna grab a drink?” You gave a weary sigh, pushing back from your desk as you stood,

“Like you wouldn’t believe.” It had been one hell of a long couple of weeks, the case you’d just closed being more than you’d ever wanted to deal with. On top of all of it, your A.D.A. decided that sex crimes wasn’t cutting it and left back to D.C. meaning you’d have to deal with yet another useless lawyer who didn’t know what they had coming for the first few weeks before they finally got it. You’d been with SVU since you’d graduated the academy, partnered briefly with Fin while he showed you the ropes until Olivia had moved you and Carisi together. The two of you worked together seamlessly, from the way you complimented each other when it came to putting clues together to the way you broke a perp in interrogation, you were simply flawless. It helped that you clicked so much personally, often spending evenings after work together, you’d grab drinks, he’d made you dinner a few times, you spent more time with him than anyone else from the squad.

You arrived at your go to spot within a few blocks, it was close to the precinct and about halfway between your apartments. Ordering your usual drinks, you fell into an easy flow of conversation, Sonny told you all about his most recent visit with his adorable niece, mentioning that Bella wanted to see you again soon. You talked about how annoying your baby brother was being, constantly pestering you for ‘cool cop stories’ that he could tell his friends. A few hours passed before you even realized how long you’d been at the bar. When the bartender asked if you needed another round, you checked your phone, realizing how late it was, knowing you should probably get home, it was still a weekday. Carisi was kind enough to pay the tab, walking you out of the pub, 

“I’ll walk ya home Doll.”

“Sonny, you really don’t need to…” You briefly stopped, turning to face him, leaning against the brick wall of the bar, “I live less than five minutes from here.”

“I know…but a lot can happen in a few blocks.” His voice was low, and he was unbearably close to you, you could nearly feel his breath on your face, “Besides…” Before you could even imagine, his lips were against yours, meeting you in a gentle and soft kiss, his hand coming up to stroke your cheek. You nearly sunk into it for a moment before you gently tugged him off of you, 

“Sonny…” His face turned to concern, hands instinctively flying off you.

“Sorry…I just…I thought—”

“No..hey, it’s okay, nothing needs to be weird, I’m just not…into…it…” You could see his face fall, reaching out to stroke his arm you spoke again, “Hey…Dominick you’re absolutely amazing! You’re going to make the luckiest girl in the world incredibly happy one day, there’s no doubt in my brain you’d be the absolute best husband and an even better father…trust me..” He gave you a confused look, 

“Then…why?”

“You’re just not my type…”

 “What..you prefer jerks like Amaro?” You barked laughed at that, 

“Sonny…I’m gay…” His face scrunched, you’d shared so many personal facts over the last few years, yet you’d never mentioned anything about something like this.

“Oh God! I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean ta—“ You cut him off with a hand over his mouth, flashing him a smile.

“It’s fine, most people don’t know anyways.” You linked your arm into his elbow, “You were walking me home right?” You gave him a smirk as the two of you moved through the streets of New York, he spoke after a few blocks.

“So…what is your type?”

“You ever watch Grey’s Anatomy?” He scoffed,

“I have three sisters, of course I’ve seen it.”

“Addison fucking Montgomery,”  You practically groaned, Sonny laughing at your response.

“Tall redheads with sultry voices, I’ll keep that in mind.” You free hand smacked his chest gently as you pulled up to your apartment, a smirk on your lips. 

“Thanks for the walk home.” You pulled him into a hug, willingly accepting the kiss into your hair, “Text me when you get home okay?” He nodded before moving down the street as you made you way into your apartment.

***

The following week rolled around faster than you wanted it to, you were at your desk attempting to hammer out details on a case when Olivia approached you a pile of files in her hands.

“Can you take these down to the D.A’s office for me?” You glanced up, 

“Yeah, ‘course. You know who I’m looking for?” She sighed heavily, running a hand over her face, 

“No. I guess just go up to the main office where Barba was, they should be there, no one gave me a name. Carisi was in court today, I told him to meet you down there.”

“Okay, thanks Cap.” You quickly grabbed your things together, tossing on your blazer before leaving the precinct. Always glad for the excuse to leave the office as you moved through the streets of Manhattan. Though the break wasn’t long before you were approaching Hogan Place, you found Carisi at the entrance to the building, greeting him as you moved inside to the elevator.

“Y/N, I’ve got a fuckin present for you.”

“Really?” You smirked, “I don’t see a coffee in your hands..” He scoffed at that, 

“I’ll buy ya one on the way out, geeze.” He rolled his eyes as the elevator dinged signalling your floor. “This present’s more of a person than a thing…” He smirked. Rolling your eyes you both moved easily though the hallway, you briefly knocked on the door of the A.D.A’s office, not noticing Sonny’s smirk as you pulled the files out of your bag, your head down.

“Hey, Captain Benson’s asking for search warrants for Hiller’s house, phone and computer, we’ve got the cause here.” It was when your head glanced up to actually see her that your heart practically stopped. You could practically feel Carisi’s grin oozing through the room.

“..Detective Summers….didn’t realize you were working Manhattan…” Casey’s voice was unsure, a hint of hesitancy shaking through it as she moved to take the files from you.

“I..didn’t know you’d taken over for our A.D.A…” Your voice trailed off, Sonny spoke from beside you, noticing that his surprise of Casey to you wasn’t going as planned,

“You two know each other?” You both quickly nodded out a ‘yeah’ barely looking at each other before Casey spoke again, 

“This is good, I’ll have your warrants sent over by the end of the day.” You muttered a thanks before nearly dragging Carisi away from the office and into the elevator, heart thundering in your chest, feelings completely overwhelming you.

“Doll what the hell was that?” He questioned, a hand on your back in an attempt to calm you down.

“That..”You began, attempting to hold all the tears and emotion back. “Was my fucking ex…” You knew that you ran in similar career fields but you didn’t think you’d actually end up working together, last you heard Casey had been working white collar crimes. 

“The one that cheated on you?” Carisi took your distress knowingly, if you were this rattled it clearly wasn’t cause you happily broke up with someone. You nodded your head as he pulled you into his arms, thankful for the empty elevator, “It’s okay Y/N, we don’t need to worry about her.” You pulled away sharply, he was surprised to find there weren’t tears in your eyes, 

“She’s our A.D.A., I think it’s something we have to worry about.” You rolled your eyes, “I can’t fucking believe this…” When the elevator dinged at the main floor Sonny couldn’t stop you, you’d left the files with him as you’d stormed off, wanting to be anywhere but near the DA’s office.

Is getting hot in here 🫠

I swear when people use Bible verses in sensual contexts (and sensual Bible verses) it’s so hot! It reminds me of Father Amaro reciting The Song of Songs to Amélia on The Crime of Father Amaro. 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🔥🔥🔥🔥

[talesofpassingtime]

I’ll tell you this much, Gustavo. Women are far more intelligent than we are. When it comes to politics and business, if you do what they say, you won’t go far wrong. I always consult my wife, and, if you must know, I’ve been doing so for twenty years and it’s worked so far.

— Eca de Queiros, The Crime of Father Amaro

[edisonblog]

Realism in Portugal was a literary and artistic movement that reached its peak between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. It was a reaction to romanticism, seeking to portray reality in a more objective and critical way.

Eça de Queirós is one of the most prominent names of this period. His work, such as "Os Maias" and "O Crime do Padre Amaro", reflects Portuguese society at the time, criticizing aspects such as the decadence of the aristocracy, the conservatism of the church and political corruption.

Realism in Portugal also extended to other forms of artistic expression, such as painting. Artists like José Malhoa portrayed everyday life, with a more objective and less idealized look.

This movement played a crucial role in the modernization of literature and art in Portugal, influencing later generations of writers and artists.

"O Crime do Padre Amaro" is one of the most important works by Portuguese writer Eça de Queirós, published in 1875. The book is a scathing critique of Portuguese society at the time, addressing themes such as religious hypocrisy, morality, corruption and the decadence of society .

The plot revolves around Father Amaro, an idealistic young priest who goes to work in a city in the interior of Portugal. There, he becomes romantically involved with the young Amélia, a devout and naive woman. The forbidden relationship between a priest and a woman is the central point of the plot and is explored from the perspective of religious and social hypocrisy.

Eça de Queirós uses the love story between the priest and Amélia to expose the moral values of society at the time, highlighting corruption in the church, false morality and the contradictions between religious precepts and human conduct. The narrative is a profound and insightful critique of the morality of 19th century Portuguese society.

"O Crime do Padre Amaro" is considered one of the masterpieces of Realism in Portugal and one of Eça de Queirós' most significant contributions to Portuguese literature, for his social criticism and his insightful analysis of the human and social contradictions of the time.

A trama gira em torno do padre Amaro, um jovem sacerdote idealista que vai trabalhar em uma cidade do interior de Portugal. Lá, ele se envolve romanticamente com a jovem Amélia, uma mulher devota e ingênua. O relacionamento proibido entre um padre e uma mulher é o ponto central do enredo e é explorado sob a ótica da hipocrisia religiosa e social.

Eça de Queirós usa a história de amor entre o padre e Amélia para expor os valores morais da sociedade da época, destacando a corrupção na igreja, a falsa moralidade e as contradições entre os preceitos religiosos e a conduta humana. A narrativa é uma crítica profunda e perspicaz à moralidade da sociedade portuguesa do século XIX.

"O Crime do Padre Amaro" é considerado uma das obras-primas do Realismo em Portugal e uma das contribuições mais significativas de Eça de Queirós para a literatura portuguesa, por sua crítica social e por sua análise perspicaz das contradições humanas e sociais da época. @edisonblog

For the WIP folder ask game, what's the Mafia AU?

thanks for the ask @scoobybuddie

So for reference, I’d previously used Danny Pino for Reyes Vidal personal headcanon pictures for writing in Mass Effect Andromeda fics. Danny Pino is mostly known for playing cops—ie Nick Amaro in SVU—and more recently Miguel Galindo in Mayans MC.

So cop Nick (above) vs Miguel (below)—note I really need to think of other names for Reyes’ uncles but you can see where I’m coming from by leaving them unchanged.

If I ever finish this fic, it’s going to be a messy time jump mess back and forth (because I’ve wanted to try that but not sure I can pull it off). I want it to be slightly told retrospectively and then also in medias res.

So, a messy draft emerges that’s half plot notes and half written scene. Cut for length here.

Scott is pulled to the local cop dive bar by his soon-to-be-former partner xxx.  He is plied with alcohol by many people from his precinct who’ve come to fete the new detective—Scott is getting his gold shield the next day and today was his last day on patrol. Scott is known some-what derogatorily (and he hates it) as the prince of organized crime—his father is the head of the organized crime unit and runs an elite task force. Scott has determined that he’s going to always make his own way and is obsessed with not being promoted based on nepotism. 

While Scott has been focused on his career, he hasn’t always been able to make close connections with his co-workers because of his family. But he’s excited to have earned his gold shield after solving a homicide. Somehow, he’s managed to get attached to one of the homicide squads by pure chance. 

Towards the end of the night, he’s bought a drink by a guy that can’t be a cop. He’s wearing too expensive of cologne and gives Scott the up and down look that screams interested.  The whiskey is also much more expensive than all the other drinks he’s been downing all night. The smooth purr of the man’s voice and way that he talks to Scott and he’s a goner. They spend hours talking—much after most of Scott’s coworkers have left and they close out the bar at 2am.  

Taking a chance, Scott asks Reyes to walk him home and then invites him in for a nightcap. One thing leads to another and Scott ends up curled around Reyes who seems stunned by Scott’s trust in him.

The next morning, Scott wakes to his alarm, warm and still wrapped in Reyes who is dead to the world. Scott reluctantly wakes Reyes, embarrassed that they just got in some heavy making out the night before before falling asleep in his bed. Reyes is adorably mussed but asks what Scott’s plans are for the night. 

Scott tells him that he has a family dinner to go to but does give Reyes his cell before seeing Reyes out the door. 

Cue frantic getting ready and in uniform for getting his detective’s shield only to be told to hurry up and wait when he gets to the ceremony.  It’s a group ceremony and he’s getting his shield with about ten other people—all of which are older than him and with more experience.  

There is an awkward moment during the ceremony when his father gives him his gold shield—Scott hadn’t know that his father was going to do that. He’s somewhat choked up about it but his dad ruins the moment after the ceremony when asking him what took so long. Scott is emotionally crushed at that comment but puts up a good front. Sara who also took the day off to celebrate her twin’s accomplishment plays peacekeeper.  There is an awkward family late lunch in a fancy restaurant that Scott’s always wanted to try but he barely touches his food—unable to taste anything. 

Scott’s new squad in homicide:

Partner and Sargent: Cora Harper

Lieutenant. Drack Nakmor

Other detectives: Liam and Vetra

Coroner: Lexi T’Perro

CSI tech: Suvi Anwar

Electronics assistance/mechanic: Gil Brodie

Reyes Vidal is the new blood that is running the show for his uncle. 

Reyes’s family/leadership structure:

Uncle Miguel is the boss—Known as El Padrino. 

Uncle Nick—Miguel’s twin. Not raised with Miguel. Became a police officer and works in the same city as Scott. Disavows all involvement with the family business but still tries to look out for Reyes. Is a homicide detective but for a smaller precinct. Competent at his job but has never been really promoted due to his family associations which are known by the police powers that be. 

Bain Massani—cartel associate. Was assigned to look out for Reyes. Is an enforcer for the cartel. Has his own code of honor and follows it. Is amused by Scott and calls him Reyes’ little duck.

Scene (warning for first draft)

Scott hadn’t stopped shaking—but he wished he could. 

The nurse with the kind smile had pushed him back into one of the hard plastic chairs that lined the waiting room and pressed a styrofoam cup of burnt, acidic coffee into his hands, encouraging him to drink it and settle. The two sips he’d managed to suck down had eaten at his throat, burning as the bitter coffee did little to soothe him. She’d said she’d be back when she had news or if the doctor was needing to speak to him before escaping to the nurses station at the far corner.

He just couldn’t stop the tremble in his hands that still had dried blood on them, under his nails and across the finger pads making them feel gritty with the dark brick red color fading into brown and making each crease n the skin stand starkly out. 

The waiting lounge was mostly deserted at this time of night, a housekeeper had even had him lift his legs so she could vacuum under them before working her way down the row of chairs covered in fabric that nobody in their right mind would have chosen any decade except maybe the 80s.  The hot pink faded to more dusty rose and the electric blue triangles and purple squares had also faded into just being tired. There was a small vending area in the corner where the soda machine hummed loudly—the only noise in the silence of the surgical waiting area at almost a quarter after midnight. 

He couldn’t stop replaying in his mind what had happened.  Hunching forward, he clutched at the cup of cooling coffee and tried not to hyperventilate. 

Reyes had been shot. 

Twice. 

And now he might not survive surgery.

Lucia Bosé (1931-2020) by Truus, Bob & Jan too! Italian postcard by Bromofoto, Milano, no. 270. Today, 23 March 2020, Italian actress Lucia Bosé passed away in Brieva, Spain. She died of pneumonia caused by the coronavirus. Bosé was famous for her films from the 1950s with a.o. Giuseppe De Santis and Michelangelo Antonioni. In the same years and after she also worked with other famous directors such as Juan Bardem, Luis Buñuel, the Taviani brothers, Liliane Cavani, Francesco Rosi, and Ferzan Özpetek. Lucie Bosé was 89. Lucia Bosè was born Lucia Borloni in Milan, Italy in 1931. She comes from a peasant and working-class family and began to work at the age of twelve years. She was first a messenger for a law firm, later a clerk in Milan's fine pastry shop Galli. In 1947 she participated in the first Miss Italy pageant, where she was able to win against competitors like Gianna Maria Canale, Eleonora Rossi Drago, and Gina Lollobrigida. Had Giuseppe De Santis still preferred Silvana Mangano for Riso amaro/Bitter Rice (1949), he chose Bosè for his next film, Non c'è pace tra gli ulivi/No peace among the olive trees (Giuseppe De Santis, 1950), a typical Neorealist film about a poor shepherd (Raf Vallone) who tries steal back his sheep stolen from him while he was at war. In the same year, Bosé starred opposite Massimo Girotti in the well-to-do set, modernist crime story and drama Cronaca di un amore/Story of a love affair (Michelangelo Antonioni, 1950). It was Antonioni's first full length feature film, about an adulterous couple plotting to kill her husband. Numerous screen engagements followed. Antonioni cast her again in La signora senza camelie/The Lady Without Camelias (Michelangelo Antonioni, 1953) about a newly discovered starlet and her experiences in the Italian cinema. Juan Bardem cast her in Muerte di un ciclista/Death of a Cyclist (1955) about an adulterous couple that runs over a cyclist and leaves him to die. Bosé also acted in Francesco Maselli's debut Gli sbandati/The Abandoned (1955) and Luis Buñuel's Cela s'appelle l'aurore/That Is the Dawn (1956). In 1955 Lucia Bosè married Luis Miguel Dominguín, a five years older, popular Spanish bullfighter and occasional actor. From the marriage, which ended in divorce in 1967, sprang three children, two of whom - Paola Dominguin and Miguel Bosé - are also active as actors. Luchino Visconti was godfather to her son Miguel, Pablo Picasso to her daughter Paola. At the time, Lucia Bosè lived in Spain and put her career on halt, except for a sporadic appearance in Le testament d'Orphée/Testament of Orpheus (Jean Cocteau, 1959). In 1968 Bosé returned to film acting after almost a ten-year break and worked first in Spain and afterward in Italy. There she worked among others in Federico Fellini's Satyricon (1969), the Taviani Brothers' Sotto il segno dello scorpione/Under the Sign of Scorpio (1969), and Liliana Cavani's L'ospite/The Guest (1972). Other interesting films with her were Nathalie Granger (Marguerite Duras, 1972), Lumière (Jeanne Moreau, 1976) and Violanta (Daniel Schmid, 1977). After 1978, she acted significantly less but remained active, also on television. She had memorable film performances in Cronaca di una morte annunciata/Chronicle of a Death Foretold (Francesco Rosi, 1987) starring Rupert Everett, El niño de la Luna/Moon Child (Agustí Villaronga, 1989), Harem suaré/Harem (Ferzan Özpetek, 1999) and I vicerè/The Viceroy (Roberto Faenza, 2007). Her most recent screen appearance was in Alfonsina y el mar/One more time (Pablo Benedetti, David Sordella, 2013), as an 80-year-old actress who returns to the small Chilean town of her youth to fulfill her father's dream of creating a TV channel in a place which has never known television.

El Crimen del Padre Amaro (2002, Carlos Carrera) 🇲🇽

With release delayed a few months to avoid collision with the Pope's visit, around the time the Catholic church was being exposed for pedophilia all over the world, the film broke box office records in Mexico after the country’s Catholic leadership and conservative / anti-abortion groups tried to ban it, driving even more people to see it.

It proceeded to be nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the Academy Awards and won Best Picture at the Ariel Awards.

I love that part in the novela where a guy is like "why did this happen" and a main character basically says "we don't have time to go into this or we might lose the casual audience you gotta read primo Basílio or the crime of father amaro it's basically that" like thanks for giving me the study material in case i want to go deeper into it

#novela tag #i did not read them so i have no idea #:(

Why "priest Pessina"?

That's actually a silly reference only I (and Alex, @capitanodavide say hi, darling) found amusing. So I was reading O Crime do Padre Amaro (The Crime of Father Amaro) by Eça de Queirós around that time and the description of Amaro literally made me think of Matteo so... Priest Pessina became his tag 😅

#do i also have a priest kink? maybe... #do i also imagine all of them as priests? maybe.... #it's a bit weird around these parts sorry about that 😅 #ask

Law & Order Special Victims Unit Season 23 Ep. 6 "The Five Hundredth Episode"

Detective Nick Amaro returns to the Special Victims Unit after six years. He reunites with his former squad members and reopens a case to clear a convicted man's name for rape. However, this case places Benson with someone from her past, and there may be a secret from Amaro's past that causes friction with Benson. Former Captain Donald Cragen helps the squad with the case.

If you want to watch the series for yourself, stop reading! This post contains spoilers to the storyline.

Serena once told Benson not to become a cop. When Noah asks Benson about her age, she avoids discussing Serena.

At work, Amaro surprises her by revealing that he now works in forensic science, solving cold cases. He wants to reopen one of Cragen's cases from 1996. Someone who recanted his confession was arrested. Amaro is investigating the case. Crime writer Burton Lowe visits Amaro, and it turns out that he and Olivia are old friends.

In a flashback, a younger Benson tells Novak that her mother set her up with someone who wanted to marry. In the present, Burton says Serena would have been prooud. Benson explains that she called Cragen and Ian had confessed, but Ian had a concussion and was knocked out before Haley was killed. Burton believes that Ian was simply feeling guilty. Ian's mother wrote to Burton. Ian could have been released on parole, but he refused to apologize for a crime he did not commit. According to Amaro, only 15 cells of DNA are needed.

Warner provides them with the DNA kit that has been in freezer purgatory. Amaro, who is working on a biophysics degree, understands the science.

Benson speaks with Burton and discovers that her mother interfered by telling her that Burton had another girlfriend. Burton was also threatened with expulsion if he ever contacted Olivia again. Ian arrives for a cognitive reenactment, a favor from Carisi. He appears upset as he gazes out at the track. He jogs down the track, causing concern for the guarding officers. Ian remembers the night of Haley's death. It was warm and dark. He lit a cigarette, and they began kissing. He kissed her with his eyes closed. After hearing footsteps on the gravel, someone hit him over the head and kidnapped Haley. He ran home, and his parents took him to the hospital. He was so messed up that he thought he did it.

Benson recalls a flashback where she said yes to Burton because she wanted to get away from her mother. Rollins thinks Burton is still into Olivia, and that's why he's here.

The DNA evidence is inconclusive, which is of no help to Ian. Amaro suggests searching ancestry sites, but Benson considers this approach outdated despite its use of advanced technology. They inform Ian that a relative of the suspect has been found on a genealogical website. The prime suspect is the girls' tennis coach, Mr. Murray, whom Ian claims Haley loved.

During a video chat, Cragen informs Amaro and Rollins that Murray, who was a chaperone at the prom, witnessed a fight between Ian and Haley and mentioned that Haley found Ian creepy. Cragen states that Murray was not a suspect and that he had no reason to doubt his account, as Murray was like a second father to Haley.

The detectives visit Haley's mother, who has kept Haley's roo untouched since the day she passed away. Haley received tutoring from Roger Murray, who also assisted her with college planning. She informed Burton that Haley's death was not a form of entertainment and requests to be left alone.

Carisi and Amaro speak with Roger Murray, who maintains that Ian is responsible. They ask for a DNA sample to rule Ian out, pretending to agree that he is guilty. Roger's wife wants him to comply with their request.

During the interview with the police, Roger confessed that he loved Haley and attempted to protect her but failed to do so that night. He admitted to touching her corsage and arm while pulling her away from Ian, but he cannot recall if it happened on the field or at the dance. According to him, Haley was afraid of Ian, and he wanted to protect her. He admits to following Ian and hitting him with a champagne bottle because Ian was all over Haley. He requests a lawyer immediately.

Burton believes that Roger was sexually aroused by kidnapping Haley. Liv is asked how she can do this. She says it's a lot, but she spends time with her son and goes for walks. Burton wants to go on a walk with her. Burton loves New York and says his ex ruined Paris for him. She also went to Pars with an ex once. He invites her in for a nightcap, kisses her, and the apologizes. Benson didn't mind.

During a flashback, Benson discuss with Stabler how girls who grow up without fathers often develope an attraction to older men, which is something that happened to her.

Benson is in bed, and Burton is pouring a drink. Benson claims she is time traveling. Burton cannot believe that all those years did not matter. He associates them with her. Benson remarks that it was a sweet night. Burton agrees, saying that this one is too.

They begin to kiss, but Benson's phone buzzes. They kiss again, but Benson's phone buzzes once more. It's Amaro, informing her that the semen sample is a match to Roger Murray. Burton is shocked and overjoyed. It's the babysitter texting, so Benson has to leave. She promises to get Ian released and knows which lawyer to call.

Langnan is called. Carisi cannot declare Murray guilty without due process. Burton wants to testify, but Carisi wants real witnesses. Burton walks off, and Langnan warns Benson about Burton's reputation.

Cragen calls Benson. Ensure that Haley's mother attends the hearing, as Murray is attempting to dispute the DNA evidence. During the hearing, Amaro testified. Murray's lawyer praised him and suggested that the ADA was using the DNA company for publicity. Despite this, the DNA evidence was admitted. Murray expressed a desire to change his plea, but the judge informed him that it was not the appropriate time or place. Murray admitted to killing the girl and expressed remorse. Everyone is shocked.

Carisi predicts that this will be over soon. Burton is thrilled and expresses his desire to have dinner with Benson. A woman arrives and accuses Burton of rape, demanding his arrest.

Burton and Benson engage in an argument. Burton insists that nothing happened. He admits to taking her to his hotel room, but he claims it was consensual. He asks what they should do now. Benson informs him that she must recuse herself from the case and that her sergeant will contact Burton.

Andrea tells Rollins and Fin that she had forgotten about it for ten years, but the recent press coverage made her angry. She had interned for Burton's editor and they had discussed books, art, and music. She recalls being intoxicated in his hotel room, passing out, and waking up to find him inside her. She has never confided in anyone about this until now. Fin said Burton was drunk, and it may not have been consensual. The statute of limitations may have expired on this matter. Benson plans to speak with Burton and has asked Rollins and Fin to investigate Burton's employers. Rollins expresses remorse and explains that Burton groomed Andrea.

Benson retrieves a box and a glass of wine, and listens to Burton's tapes while crying. Rollins receives the tape from her and realizes that Burton had done the same thing to Benson.

Meanwhile, Andrea posted about her assault, and five women came forward, stating that Burton had done the same thing to them. Burton had sex with them in hotel rooms after offering them a nightcap. Eight or nine women felt pressured, but it was not rape.

Amaro feels used. Benson thinks Burton sincerely wanted to free Ian. Fin knew Burton was bad news. Benson tells Amaro that she doesn't want Burton's actions to overshadow Ian's exoneration. Benson insists that when she was 16 and in love, it was her choice to be with Burton. Amaro insists that Burton victimized her. Benson doesn't want to hear it.

Benson has a flashback to telling someone how her mom attacked her with a broken bottle over Burton. She walks to his hotel room and knocks. He apologizes for the awkward situation. He keeps insisting that she drinks with him. He appears to be drunk. Burton's podcast is currently on hold due to Andrea. Despite this, Burton maintains his innocence. Benson informs him that her detectives have found Andrea's story to be credible. Unfortunately, the case is beyond the statute of limitations. However, Andrea has not disclosed the identity of any other accusers. Burton admits to having slept with many women but denies taking advantage of anyone. However, Benson claims that the women are saying otherwise. According to her, the women trusted Burton and he abused that trust. Benson asserts that the women did not complain at the time. He doesn't understand his mistake and expects Olivia to defend him, but she cannot. He had sexual relations with her when she was only 16, which is considered sexual assault. Burton's statement implies that he is now a victim, but we were in love! Benson explains that as a teenager, she wanted to get away from her mother. Burton accuses Serena of being crazy. Benson suggests that Serena may have beeen trying to protect her. Burton reminisces about the sexual encounter they had 40 years ago. The question remains: will she accuse him of rape that occurred recently? What was her intention? Benson suggests that the reason for his love for her requires an apology. Burton disagrees and states that she is finished with him. She departs, and he throws his glass.

A flashback ensues of Benson's mother stating that if her father had not raped her, Benson would not exist. Benson called Amaro and left him a message apologizing. She threw Burton's tape into the river.

I think at this point a romance with a priest doesn't really shock people, especially after the scandals of Marcial Maciel and the Legion of Christ which were much worse than a priest falling in love.Īlso, The Crime of Father Amaro became the biggest box office success of Mexican cinema at the time it premiered in 2002. Well, looking forward to reading all the other comments!Įn el Nombre del Amor wasn't controversial either. I was very disappointed that they didn't change that enough. I knew there was a "rape" in "Amor Real" and had ASSUMED (oh foolish me!) that they would somehow make it more palatable for modern audiences in Me Robo. I'm fairly familiar with most of the characters.

#Capitulo de amor real telenovela full

I've watched some of "Amor Real," watched most of the DVD adaptation, and have started to watch the full episodes (found online). But I'm going to tell myself that she "resentfully submitted" to the sex, like, "Let's get this over with, you a-hole." Yes, I know that it could be interpreted (IS interpreted) to be rape. I was very disturbed that they wrote it the way they did, though. Alejandro *tries* to be a nice guy.Īnyway, getting to the marital rape thing on Me Robo-I'm using mental gymnastics and trying to convince myself that was that she "submitted" to him, not happy about it, but "submitted." UGH, though! The writing of that episode made it ambiguous enough that we can fill in the blanks however we want. Oh Rogelio, how we Rogelianas loved you, even though you certainly didn't deserve it! )Īnyway, Rogelio didn't rape anyone (like how could he? LOL) and it can definitely be argued that Alejandro did, but why is it that I consider Rogelio more of a jerk? I guess because on the whole, he was. But any of you that remember when we watched LQNPA, Rogelio is one of my favorite characters. Of the two galanes (Rogelio and Alejandro), I find Alejandro to be more "sympathetic" than Rogelio in LQNPA, but then Rogelio was such a bitter, sour jerkwad for so much of the story (and he had the whip!). I think both these stories are like old fashioned romance novels, where there was more leeway for douchey behavior from the "heroes." And we the viewers (or readers of the novels) suspend our disbelief and go along with the writers. The two TNs that I've seen are LQNPA and LQLAMR (Me Robo). I'm so glad you brought this up, because I came in too late to contribute to the 100+ marital rape discussion episode on Lo que la vida me robo. It is worth mentioning though that this network doesn't reach every part of the country and that if you don't live in the central states then you need to contract basic cable to see it. In telenovelas from Cadena 3, which is the most liberal network we have, we have seen all these things handled differently: they have showed characters having abortions, gay and lesbian protagonists (with happy endings) and more realistic portrayals of rape and abuse. Televisa is the most conservative network here though, so these rules apply mostly to them. The only place where it's legal in Mexico is the Federal District which is only an area of Mexico City, this means that they can't depict it without bad consequences since it is illegal in the rest of the country. Even today many don't understand that such thing is wrong and telenovelas acting like it's normal just doesn't help.Ībortion is also a touchy subject. I couldn't stand Manuel at all after he raped Matilde in Amor Real and that novela was made back in 2003, before marital rape was criminalized in Mexico. LQLVMR is a mix of both Bodas de Odio and Amor Real but they should have changed many things to make it work and yet they didn't. They just add it for the shock value and sometimes I feel the writers lack a real understanding of what they are portraying on screen.

Rape is such a difficult theme that telenovelas just don't know how to handle. It had Ana de la Reguera who is very popular here. The casting was really strange though, Maité Perroni and Pedro Fernández made such an odd couple. That was just the excuse the producers came up with for the low ratings. I never heard anybody complain about it at all. I don't think Cachito de Cielo had low ratings because of the priest storyline.
