What a mistake to imagine villains with distinguished expressions, silky looks and aristocratic manners. This character called Koldo García seems to come from the universe of Ibáñez, that unclassifiable artist who made us laugh so much as children. Even when we grew up. The face and appearance of this Koldo, even if he keeps a careful distance from the bosses of the shed or puts on dark glasses, it is inevitable that he associates him with Mortadelo y Filemón, Rompetechos, El Button Sacarino, Pepe Gotera and Otilio brings. and other famous cartoons. But they never did big business, nor did they devote themselves to politics, they were not legitimized by the democratic, enthusiastic or resigned voices of citizens convinced that they were choosing between the good and the bad, the average and the worst had to. What I find unfortunate is that, thank God, the popular Koldo's past as a brothel bouncer is brought to mind. Are there scandalous allegations against the gatekeepers of large corporations, banks and parliament? As everyone knows, including babies, they embody the essences of humanism, social justice, transparency, honesty, service to people and those little things.
However, my film lover would have no problem recognizing the self-sacrificing and hard-working Ábalos as one of the villains in the films. Always in the role of boss or privileged lieutenant. He seems to me to be a good actor, experienced, cold, in a profession full of stubborn performers. He's tough, he's arrogant, he claims to feel dead in the face of unwarranted accusations, and he's irreparably hurt and betrayed by his brotherly lieutenant's alleged misdeeds. But his theater has a certain authority. It has a pretty hard point. He wouldn't get serious and say to a devious interrogator the ancient and idiotic saying: But do you know who I am, do you know who you're talking to?
I suspect that this man may become a nuclear bomb if the Force does not grant his very human desire. What about mine? In other words, I will become a grave if you guarantee me that I will continue to live with the same economic prosperity that I have achieved since becoming involved in politics as a youth.
