The image that illustrates this article corresponds to the film ‘Cantinflas’, directed by Pablo del Amo in 2014. The protagonist is the actor from Esplugues de Llobregat Oscar Jaenada, which gave life to the legendary Mexican comedian. A few hours ago, TVE’s 2 It broadcast one of the most famous titles by Mario Fortino Alfonso Moreno Reyes, the character’s real name, and as a preamble a small introductory report of just over 5 minutes was offered. In it, a mention was made of Jaenada’s role. How? This is the problem: a gratuitous and very unfortunate contempt. Also suspicious. It oozes the smell of catalanofobia. Surely with Bardem, Banderas or Penélope Cruz they would not do the same.
Do you want context? It is explained quickly. Óscar Jaenada, who is not independentistYes, it gets wet. And contrary to the prevailing establishment, he claims the right of Catalonia to become a nation, puts on the table the convenience of independence, and report abuse practiced by a State too prone to police and judicial repression. “I am Catalan and I will be Catalan all my life. Ltake a Tweety boat full of national police to beat up people from my houseFrom my town, the only thing they got was a cradle of independentists. That every Catalan with half a brain should convert to the independence movement. Brave, clear, relentless. Wow, what hurts the most.
The offensives against Óscar, with a career full of successes in Spain and Latin America, are recurrent. A few months ago it was María Patiño and her former program ‘Socialité’ on Telecinco who were trying to put pressure on him: “We are here at a premiere and damn, let them bring you and that the only question you ask me has to do with this (the 1-O referendum) it is very sad“. Well, we’re back to our old ways. He TVE video to which we were referring, he thus describes Jaenada’s participation in the film about Cantinflas: “It was Óscar Jaenada who in 2014 would play Mario Moreno in the biopic Cantinflas, an election that, by the way, was not very popular in Mexico“. Óscar, who was watching the program, was amazed. And his response struck down TVE as undocumented and biased: “For the Paper of Cantinflas I was nominated for the Ariel for best leading actor (the only Spanish in its history) and won the Platinum award for best leading actor. The nominees were Benicio del Toro, Leo Sbaraglia, Jorge Perugorria, Javier Gutiérrez and me. Bye“. This final “adeu” is revealing. As the “#libertyt” that accompany most of their publications on the networks.

Jaenada’s followers and viewers of the program have given support to the actor: “Definitely They don’t know what they’re talking about I am Mexican and when you see the performance you can see what a tremendous actor you are,”tremendous acting…..3 very important roles and he did it masterfully, Mario Moreno, Hernán Cortés, Luisito Rey,” “The work at Cantinflas was *extraordinary*. Absolute perfection. I am Mexican and you have all my respect“. And so everything. From Catalonia the Catalanophobic element is added: a user republishes one of the videos of Jaenada talking about 1-O, “they will never forgive you“. It seems that this is what the thing is about. Of revenges. They have done so well, yes.
They definitely don’t know what they’re talking about, I’m Mexican and when you see the performance you can see what a tremendous actor you are, and it has been the best tribute that can be paid to a comedian and actor like Cantinflas, my respects to you always, because you don’t you imitated it, you interpreted it!💯

Then we wonder why Spain doesn’t love its cinema, if it is constantly belittled by the media.
