father was a better player than Pelé in Mexico

expected that I’d be the best of all. But in my family,
God made me the ugly duckling.

Report: Down Taxco
Mexico
REPORTER It is a bike race in which the
competitors radiate pure adrenaline in a course full
of obstacles. Better said, it has streets that are winding
and full of stairs... Welcome to Red Bull Down Taxco...
The challenge is to descend in the shortest amount of
time possible, from the highest point in the city to the
main square. The route measures a little over a mile.
CYCLIST 1 Well, the narrow streets themselves are
very constricted. There are some curves that are
very narrow. In other words, you have to slow down
in order to enter.
REPORTER The main challenge is the layout of the
city. Well, the route goes over and through stairs,
ramps, stores, and even a few houses.
WOMAN They just repair the damages that
would happen.
REPORTER The competition is so exciting and
picturesque that many people come from other
countries to take a quick ride through the colonial city.
CYCLIST 2 Unprecedented. Very crazy, crazy. Ha ha...
REPORTER As to be expected, this unusual way of
biking also has its consequences.
CYCLIST 3 My hand wouldn’t respond and I didn’t
manage to brake.
CYCLIST 4 Um, what happened was that I was
going very, very fast and the tire couldn’t take it and
blew out.
REPORTER And like all competitions, there must
be a winner. In this race, the victory went to the
Swiss René Wildhaber, who finished the eventful
descent in 2 minutes, 14 seconds.
RENÉ WILDHABER Yeah, it’s great to be here. It
was good to finish.
REPORTER In order for you to have an idea of
how long it takes for people to walk from the Cristo
Monument to the center of the city… I am going to
descend at a more or less fast pace and I’m going to
262 English Translations of En pantalla

count. Four, three, two, one… run! I’m almost there.
Ah. 8 minutes, 48 seconds. Now I’ll head back up...
No, I’d better not just yet... And if you ever come to
visit Taxco, I suggest that you don’t bring your bike,
unless you prefer to see the pavement of the city
up close.

Short film:
La leyenda del espantapájaros
Spain
NARRATOR Once upon a time, there was a
scarecrow who had no friends. He worked in a
wheat field. It wasn’t a difficult job, but it was
very solitary. With no one to talk to, the days and
nights seemed eternal. The only thing he could do
was watch the birds. Every time they passed by, he
266 English Translations of En pantalla
portales_IRM_261-268.indd 266
would say hello to them. But they never responded;
it was as if they were afraid of him. One day, the
scarecrow broke the rules. He offered the birds
some seeds. Even then, they didn’t want anything to
do with him. The scarecrow wondered why no one
wanted to be his friend.
NARRATOR Time passed, until one cold night
when a blind crow landed at his feet. The crow was
shivering and hungry. The scarecrow decided to
take care of him. After several days, the blind crow
got better. Before saying goodbye, the scarecrow
asked him why birds don’t want to be friends
with scarecrows and the crow explained that the
scarecrow’s job was to scare the poor birds who only
wanted to eat. They were evil and despicable beings,
monsters. Offended, the scarecrow explained that
he wasn’t wicked, even though he was a scarecrow.
Once again, the scarecrow had no friends.
NARRATOR That very night, he decided to change
his life. He woke his master and told him that he
wanted a different job. He no longer wanted to
scare birds.
MASTER Ahhhh!
NARRATOR Terrified, the master woke all the
neighbors. He told them that his scarecrow had
come to life, which could only be the work of
the devil.
NARRATOR The blind crow was near the
windmill. His friends told him that the villagers
were burning a windmill because a scarecrow with
a very long scarf was trying to hide there. The blind
crow explained that he was the good scarecrow, the
one who had saved his life. Moved by his story, the
crows tried to save the scarecrow. It was already too
late. They couldn’t do anything.
NARRATOR The scarecrow was burned alive. The
crows waited until morning, and when there were
no more flames, they approached the remains of
the windmill, gathered the scarecrow’s ashes, and
flew high, very high. From the highest point, they
scattered the ashes through the air.
The wind carried the ashes over the entire region.
The ashes flew alongside the birds, and in this way,
the scarecrow was never alone again, because his
ashes now flew with his new friends. In memory of
the tragic death of the scarecrow, the blind crow
and all of his friends decided to dress in mourning.

JAVIER Hello, I’m Javier López. I’m an actor.
Actor! There are many kinds of actors, right? Some
do drama. Some do comedy. But not me; I do
castings. Hi, good morning, how’s it going? Javier
López. How’s it going? How’s everyone? Well.
Javier López. Pleased to meet you. So, hanging in
there, right? Camera, Javier López. We’re recording,
right? Good, perfect. Should I stand on this mark?
Sometimes you get a bit nervous. My mark, here.
Javier López, how are you doing, mark? Marking,
right? You never know what they’re going to ask
you to do.
CASTING DIRECTOR Now we need you to play a
sweaty red shoe.
JAVIER What? But I’m a professional. I say what
I think. What size? But the important thing, the
most important thing, is to be yourself. Noooo! I
won’t go back to that spaceship! I’m from the planet
Burbank! We breathe through our gills. So what?
That’s my life. Is that okay? Or should I give it more
intensity? Maybe less?
CASTING DIRECTOR Now we need you to cry.
JAVIER That’s the worst thing they can ask you to
do: to cry. Can I use the chair?
CASTING DIRECTOR Of course.
JAVIER Because… what if, for whatever reason…
you just can’t? There’s only one way to make
yourself cry: be honest with yourself, tell yourself
things, tell yourself everything. Even what you
don’t dare tell yourself. That, too. For example,
that you are thirty… and you are still working in
a crappy bar, serving beers to pay for a demo reel
that probably nobody will see. Because they forget,
or you don’t dare show it, because you don’t want
to hear again “we’ll call you, even if it is to say no.”
And then they never call: they don’t call to say no,
they don’t call to say yes, they don’t even call you
by mistake. And yes, I know it’s hard, and there’s
no point in complaining, that’s the way it is. But

about how I’m a fraud to make myself cry.

you something you’re going to like. You’re good,

looking for. But thank you so much, seriously. We
are really moved, but it’s not… You will get a job,
for sure, somewhere else. Thank you. All right?
