"The big fish reaches that size because they never get caught" (Tim Burton).
"Your mother came alone because your father was on a business trip and did not arrive on time. Your father's version is better, right?
Edward Bloom is a difficult person, as is every person who does not get caught by the established models. There is a rebel: a guy who has a very particular way of seeing things and, therefore, a very particular way of acting: in a land of magicians, he believes in magic. And as every true believer, not merely to believe, but active belief, the feedback.
In one of his radio monologues, Alejandro Dolina said: " ... but sometimes, I say, these games are not as innocent and sometimes, the game is simply live as if we had not yet happened for the best. And that already is a heavy game, a game that sometimes is expensive, a serious game. And you play it, play it seriously, as children play with the same faith or poetry that Coleridge called to understand the art, with that resignation to unbelief ...".
And it Joaquín Sabina himself says: "... for lies, the reality promises everything but nothing gives you, my crime was wearing blue to gray prince. "
So, as they say Dolina and Sabina, this is Edward Bloom. Do not get caught. Playing, keep playing, as if he had not yet happened for the best, as if I had not seen anything yet. Prince wears blue gray, and does so in a serious way, because his life is at stake (the life he chose to live, with big fish unattainable and werewolves whose apparent evil "is only loneliness and lack of social refinement").
Los Edward Bloom del mundo son la delicia de los detractores. ¿De los detractores de qué? De los detractores en general, de los detractores y punto.
Y como sé que mi tendencia a la honestidad brutal, a la carencia de eufemismos, a la necesidad de la verdad como lanza y como escudo, puede generar confusiones válidas, aclaro: yo también creo que las versiones de Edward Bloom son mejores. Yo tampoco quiero dejarme atrapar. Porque yo también quiero seguir jugando como si todavía no hubiera visto nada.
