Gypsy future?, bandits, Sheep or Wolves? -The Death of Juan Moreira -

SHEEP CAN BECOME WOLVES, after 30 years of hard life and of unrecognized hard work, (Gauchos where considered by the others as lazy people and thieves), Juan Moreira became an outlaw, a sort of rural Robin Hood, and later he served as a supporter in the search of new followers, and as a bodyguard for powerful politicians of that time, who promised to clean Moreira's reputation, but they never did so. Moreira, a good man and later a bandit, loved and revered by the poor, was killed by the police in 1874, but he defended himself like a wild animal against them, by killing 19 members of the group which wanted to captured him, only with a knife and a gun, and almost saved his life by jumping a wall, but he was reached by the bayonet of Sergeant Chirino, who lost an eye in the attack. Many Gauchos became bandits fighting against the oppression, discrimination and prejudices that they suffered, due to their wandering way of life. Moreira was killed in the City of LOBOS (Wolves). Now the Gauchos are the representative figure of this country.
LAS OVEJAS SE PUEDEN CONVERTIR EN LOBOS, después de 30 años de una vida dura y de duro trabajo no reconocido, (los Gauchos eran considerados por los otros como vagos y ladrones), Juan Moreira se convirtió en un fuera de la ley, una suerte de Robin Hood rural, y después sirvió como apoyo en la búsqueda de nuevos seguidores, y como guardaespaldas de los poderosos políticos de ese tiempo, quienes prometieron limpiar la reputación de Moreira, pero no lo hicieron. Moreira, un buen hombre y después un bandido, amado y reverenciado por los pobres, fue muerto por la policía en 1874, pero se defendió de ellos como un animal salvaje, matando a 19 miembros del grupo que lo quería capturar, sólo con un cuchillo y un arma, y casi salvó su vida saltando una pared, pero fue alcanzado por la bayoneta del sargento Chirino, quien perdió un ojo en el ataque. Muchos Gauchos se hicieron bandidos luchando contra la opresión, discriminación y prejuicios que sufrían, debido a su vida errante. Moreira fue muerto en la ciudad de LOBOS. Ahora los Gauchos son la figura representativa de este país.

LEONARDO FAVIO ARGENTINIAN DIRECTOR: GENIUS¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡­¡¡¡¡¡¡

[LoljaBernalJohnson]

@ARGENTINOROCA Yes, you're right. Thanks!

[ArisztidZ]

Very true indeed, pral.

That is what they are doing to the Romani today and it, unfortunately, is changing our people and it is going to bite the haters in the arse. Haters may whine and snivel about the anger WE show... they seem oblivious to the fact that THEY caused it and are continuing their actions.

I would like to see this movie. Is it available in America?

Sastipe :)

[ArisztidZ]

I have to fight at times to not have a chip on my shoulder from racism in America towards myself and our folki. If we are open about "what" we are, we have to have our heads about us to not let the dread disease of hate sneak in and we have to have a very thick skin.

I think about our folki in Europe and my mind boggles. If I have to fight it, what goes through THEIR minds? How can they avoid hate?

[ARGENTINOROCA]

Juan Moreira was an Argentine gaucho who died in 1874, really existed, the movie is 1973 and the Argentinean director Leonardo Favio, is a symbol of the Argentine gaucho rebellion against the injustices of the authority

¡Hola LoljaBernalJohnson! ¿Cómo es usted mi amigo?

¡Acabo de parar por decir hola!

~hipretty~

[LoljaBernalJohnson]

Yes, you are right, and I wonder myself, who cares?

"they seem oblivious to the fact that THEY caused it and are continuing their actions."

It's true. We didn't open our pockets too willingly. Some people even dared to protest and fight. No wonder that Gypsies now feel distressed.

I'm wondering the same question many times
