Bruno Pardo Porto: When we were cowboys

I have very few clear things in life, here are a few: electricity, internet and running water are not valued enough; If it has wheels, it is not a house; If there’s no bar nearby, it’s not civilization; If there is no doctor, either. Always … I believe that cities are one of the best inventions of their kind and that if Madrid is hell, sinners are on the right side of history. My idea of ​​nature is the sea, never the mountainsso high, so tired, so cold. If Europe was born on the beach, it will be for good reason.

I started watching “Yellowstone” with this one city ​​armorand I didn’t even last two chapters: by the third I already believed that the ranch was my place in the world, and that a man worthy of the name should know how to ride a horse, lasso an ox, protect his land at all costs, and of course wear a hat. There is an atavistic magnetism in Taylor Sheridan Series it becomes irresistible: suddenly, we have had enough of the 21st century, and almost too much democracy. What is the series about? Of a ranch and a family who does not want to lose their land, that is to say their life. Everything you need to know about “Yellowstone” is summed up in this dialogue between Beth and Rip.

“Choose something that fits my personality,” she told him.

—You want to get drunk and watch wolves kill a moose in the park?

— I’m driving.

Sheridan just released a new series, “Landman,” set on the Texas oil rigs, and many liberals in the United States are wondering why they like such a conservative series so much. Inkoo Kang wrote in “The New Yorker” that “Landman” “demonstrates better than anyone how conservative shows can be highly entertaining, even for a progressive viewer.” Even. In the same magazine, Kyle Chayka assured that part of the charm of these productions lies in the voyeuristic feeling that they provide when watching them. It’s curious to read about people discovering the meaning of fiction at this stage. I remembered Fran Lebowitzwho said that the cultural problem of our time is that people look at books as mirrors, when they have always been windows.
