Probablemente ningún otro país de iberoamérica hubiera resistido como México la potencia cultural de su vecino del norte. Cualquier, o casi cualquier otro, hubiera sido asquerosamente absorbido tipo Puerto Rico o Venezolanos en Miami.
Dato que nadie pidió: este va a ser el último Mundial con yugoslavos en él. Dzeko, Modric y Perisic serán los representantes en un mundo (y un país) que ya no existe más. Posiblemente también sea el último con jugadores nacidos durante la Guerra Fría
@AlexsAuriazul Si la directiva ya se encargó de joder al club, toca a la afición hacer sentir la inconformidad.
Neta no vayan al estadio y no compren jerseys. Eso de aguante no cabe aquí ya.
Este vídeo de Kepa Arrizabalaga desde el autobús del Arsenal es impresionante.
En 4 años aquí nunca vi tal concentración de gente. Más 1,5 MILLONES de personas se han lanzado a las calles del norte de Londres. Parade y día absolutamente históricos. #AFC@diarioas | @carrusel
@RappiMexico hice un pedido y me llegó incompleto. Su chat automático dice que no pueden hacer nada. Básicamente que ya se cerró y que si falta algo del pedido que ya ni modo.
Por acá me pueden dar solución?
Mexico paid $20 million for eight minutes in this movie. Then those eight minutes forced them to invent an entire cultural tradition.
Before Spectre, Mexico City had no Day of the Dead parade. The holiday was celebrated at home, at cemeteries, with family altars. Quiet, intimate, centuries old. Sam Mendes fabricated a massive street parade for the opening sequence, shot it with 1,500 extras in skeleton costumes across the Zócalo, and audiences worldwide assumed they were watching a real annual event.
Mexico's government had negotiated hard for the placement. Leaked Sony hack emails showed officials offered up to $20 million in tax incentives for four minutes of positive portrayal. Sony was drowning in a $300 million budget. The deal included script changes: the Bond girl had to be a Mexican actress, the villain could not be Mexican, and the city's modern skyline had to appear on screen.
Then the movie opened in 182 countries and tourists started booking flights to Mexico City for the parade.
The parade that did not exist.
Tourism authorities panicked. Visitors were arriving expecting the spectacle they saw in the film and finding nothing. So in October 2016, the government spent $500,000, hired 650 volunteers, built dozens of floats and giant skeleton marionettes, and staged the first real Día de los Muertos parade in Mexico City's history. 250,000 people showed up. They openly called it a "Spectre-style parade" in press materials.
Ten years later, the parade draws millions. Anthropologists call it the "pizza effect," where a cultural element gets exported, transformed abroad, and reimported as authentic. Mexico's most famous public celebration of its most sacred holiday was invented by a British director shooting a $300 million spy movie.
That tracking shot is doing more for Mexico City's economy every November than the $20 million they paid for it.
