My take on The Mandalorian By Aldo Rodrigo Sanchez Tovar
  • hace 4 años
After Disney's release of the Mandalorian, people have centered discussion more on the so-called "Baby Yoda" and the constant easter eggs made mostly to calm the anger of older audiences at the Mouse company for messing with the fond memories of the "old good Star Wars". And I personally have my own feelings and thoughts about it. But they are irrelevant to this entry.
What really shine to me of watching The Mandalorian is the extraordinary ability of actor Pedro Pascal to deliver properly the emotions of his character with no digital aid and make it successfully behind the helmet and constrictive armor.
This is something that younger audiences that can barely or can`t tell the difference between a Shakespearean interpretation and the usual acting of romantic comedies and Twilight films won't be able to appreciate.
The more extensive has been the recent years making pixels act in the form of motion capture digital "counterparts" of actors such as Avatar characters, Jar Jar Binks or Gollum or the complete cloning of actors like the young DeNiro or Princess Leia in Rogue One, the less are new audiences exposed to the true magic of acting in the purest Greek fashion. To be able to deliver with your eyes, your hands, the posture of your head or your voice of course, but such in a mystical level.

This is what Pascal achieves as if he might simply be a time traveler and is coming from the best household of classical actors delivering with every inch of his body with a passion uncommon on modern performers.
Yes, I'm very happy to see once again, real physical props, boxes, rusted equipment and armors that Star Wars needed badly to recover its essence. I'm happy being able to see once again Rodians, Twi'leks, Zabraks, Chiss or Trandoshans opposite the Bad Robot commercial decision to leave out most of the Lucas previous universe construction. I'm happier to be able to see real Mandalorians at their best, showing how short Boba and Jango fell on the big Star Wars frame.
But The real prize here is, I insist, Pedro Pascal honest and professional signature under the mask.

Long live the Mandalorian

I hope really that Disney start making the proper arrangements to pay Pedro as well as the superstars that they get to be always without the mask (mask that used to be important) such as Spiderman, Captain America or Iron Man.

The name is Aldo, and yes, I'm much older than the first Star Wars movie and was born speaking Spanish.

My life and knowledge improved really thanks to a joyful space fantasy I've watched with my parents in the closest place on earth to Tatooine. But that was a long time ago.
On a more civilized age.
