The script by Jorge Zuhair Jury brother of director Leonardo Favio and Favio's direction aim to capture the feeling of a dime novel or a radio soap opera there were quite a few about Moreira. This is achieved, with some clumsiness here and there. Moreira's interaction with "honest" politicians is given due weight. A minor point: one would like more about Moreira's beginnings as a law-abiding small landowner and family man. The supporting cast ranges from adequate to very good. The reconstruction of Moreira's times and places is convincing. A movie well worth watching.

Nov 30, Leandro rated it it was amazing. Juan Moreira was a renegade gaucho of Buenos Aires province in the 19th century. Gutierrez' work is a novelization originally serialized of his life and escapades. Though Gutierrez claims he researched the Moreira and spoke with many witnesses, I'm still a little dubious about the novel's historical veracity. However, even taken with a grain of salt, there is something captivating about the short life of this outlaw. The Moreira of the novel is an upstanding, moral man who runs afoul of the Juan Moreira was a renegade gaucho of Buenos Aires province in the 19th century. The Moreira of the novel is an upstanding, moral man who runs afoul of the law because of a local administrator's desire for Moreira's wife. He gets his vengance on the administrator, but is then on the run from the law. The narrative is a little repetitious at times, with knife fight after knife fight. Moreira may be portrayed as a noble figure, yet there's something quite ugly about all the death he leaves in his wake. Yet, over the course of the story, I found myself becoming more sympathetic to his plight. If Moreira isn't quite an existentialist hero, there is something tragically noble about him, a man cut off from society but still living by a code, though he knows full well the best he can expect is to die a good death. I wouldn't call it a classic, but definitely a worthwhile example of the gaucho genre.

Latin American & Caribbean Literature & History - Literature Getting High : Marijuana through the Ages. John Charles Chasteen. This fascinating book traces the global history of marijuana, reaching back thousands of years. Noted historian John Charles Chasteen follows the use of the drug since Neolithic times, which makes marijuana among the first domesticated plants. Surprisingly, though, only infrequently has it been used as a recreational drug. Instead, there is a vibrant spiritual dimension to its long history that has been continually ignored. After a tour of Latin America, Africa, India, and the Muslim world, Chasteen concludes that unlike alcohol marijuana has always flourished outside the mainstream. Its principal users have been creative outsiders of many kinds—mystics, artists, musicians, free thinkers, and spiritual seekers—as well as poor laborers attracted by its low cost. Marijuana, it seems, is a mind-expanding drug after all, and Chasteen explores its rich heritage with captivating insight. Inhalt Chapter 1 Getting High. Chapter 2 American Century. Moreira shot him in hte face. He had been hiding in the shadows waiting to strike while Moreira fought other soldiers. Moreira used some neat weapons. Since he was constantly chased by soldiers and police, he also carried two big bore single shot pistols with him all the time. This was specially requested by Moreira. He used it to pary and stop knife, bayonet and saber attacks. Juan Moreira. Of the 16 kills he has accounted, he used his knife in 9 of them. His facon, horse and dog were the only things he really trusted in life, according to his own words. He slept under the stars trusting his dog as a guard and never unsaddling so as to escape quick. This was one of the last gauchos of old. He died in Edited to add: Thought I should mention this; when using pistols, Moreira was very fonnd of shooting to the face. Having entered the house, some general conversation is kept up for a few minutes, till permission is asked to pass the night there. This is granted as a matter of course. The stranger then takes his meals with the family, and a room is assigned him, where with the horsecloths belonging to his recado or saddle of the Pampas he makes his bed. It is curious how similar circumstances produce such similar results in manners. At the Cape of Good Hope the same hospitality, and very nearly the same points of etiquette, are universally observed. These half-wild cattle are very active; and knowing full well the fatal lazo, they led the horses a long and laborious chase. The floor consisted of hardened mud, and the windows were without glass; the sitting-room boasted only of a few of the roughest chairs and stools, with a couple of tables. The supper, although several strangers were present, consisted of two huge piles, one of roast beef, the other of boiled, with some pieces of pumpkin: besides this latter there was no other vegetable, and not even a morsel of bread. For drinking, a large earthenware jug of water served the whole party. Yet this man was the owner of several square miles of land, of which nearly every acre would produce corn, and, with a little trouble, all the common vegetables.
