Desperado: Bookstore Fight (SALMA HAYEK, ANTONIO BANDERAS GUN CHASE SCENE)

I simply loved Desperado from the first time I saw it. I'm a convinced movies watcher, but I still can't say if this one is good or bad! Lawrence Martin gives it only 2.5 stars, which means average. But young Banderas and Hayek are very attractive...

[@jasonstarr6419]

who is lawrence martin? does he not like women? I'll admit that the girl who works for bucho could use some better direction or some acting lessons. but, man, Banderas, Hayak, and Machete! If a male doesn't immediately get an increased heart rate with Salma's first scene, he's ready for an autopsy! I'm with you,Cristina!

[@velkanzi]

For me, if the critics do not like a movie that is a positive. Not always accurate. But close to 90 or 95 % accurate for me.

[@AP01LYON]

It's a movie.

[@insomnimac8368]

It isn't because of a filmmaking choice, or laziness, or plot armor that this guy survives left and right. It's part of the legend. Not of this character or this film, but desperado itself. It comes from the latin, it precedes Mexico itself. This goes way, way, WAY back to mythology and was picked back up in Spain - but it goes way way way back to greek lore, the roots of this "idea". The idea shows up in the Divine Comedy and in similar dives through hell in christian, roman and greek lore. It's an ancient idea for a reason. To have no hope, no future, to be desperately in love, to be a gunslinger, to be devoid of hope of promise. In chess a desperado is one of the most commonly used moves out there, it's so "natural" that nobody even knows the term for it. A desperado is a piece that cannot be saved - it will be taken next turn regardless of what you do. So you make a desperate play to gain an advantage for your other pieces - that's what makes it a desperado. This may happen because of a blunder, or it may be something you put in place on purpose - which is what makes it beguiling. It's very common to create a desperado in chess because, ultimately, it is a tactical move that anyone can understand. And it just played out. They're cornered by two pieces moving to attack. There's no hope for them to survive, hence the hesitation - the moment they're cornered, they both become desperado's. He makes the play and pushes the girl away - making himself a Desperado. But... In so doing he creates an edge. They weren't expecting him to shoot first, he waited. It was such a desperate move, so silly they hesitated. He shoots first. Desperado plays in chess can play out the same way - if you threaten a king or a greater move, a desperado piece can save itself by making a bold move. He does this perpetually, he shoots without seeing them and makes sure to shoot first. That's a foolish maneuver... Unless you're lucky. You only get lucky when you take big chances. They knew what they were making and what this character represented throughout the entire film, which is the symbolic embodiment of hope. It's luck, but the kind of luck you get when you bet it all. This is symbolically represented by the shoes. The girl goes for a red, and black, mismatched shoes. He pulls her away from the black shoe and this isn't random. It's art and history. Chess was originally played with red and black because those were the colors available, but they also represented love and death. He wears black shoes, signifying death - but not that he administers death but that he has chosen death for himself... and for her, he has chosen life and love. He doesn't let her take the black shoes because he insists on being the desperado. That's the legend. That's why the Mariachi bands always sing of love, yet carry death close to themselves... and why his brother's in arms sacrifice themselves so readily for him. Because... he's in love. That's the lore. Anytime you see Salma Hayek's character, red is always the motif at the beginning of the film. It's not random. It's artistic choice. Many times you see black and white when you see the Desperado, and behind him - black and white checkers, like a chess set. It's symbolic. At the beginning of the film you see carriages and signs with empty chess sets - the board is clear, the pieces being placed. When he teaches the boy how to use the guitar, it has black and white - and he says play all day, every day to learn. That's his way now - same move, over and over. Desperado. Not enough to convince you the filmmakers knew what this meant? The scorpion in Greek myth represents Scorpius, the warrior sent to stop the Giant Orion from eating the animals of the world. Bucho, the meaning is "The Maw" and he's a drug dealer - the man who'd eat the world. It's why the knife master nearly kills him - because that represents Christianity, the knives he throws are all crosses signifying the persecution for this, and the Desperado's scars are similar to jesus's having had his hands maimed - but that's not who he is. He's chosen the path of the desperado. In that case Bucho's not only dealing drugs but religion. The other notable story of the greek scorpion was that of the frog and the scorpion - scorpion needs to cross a river, frog offers to give him a lift. Halfway across the Scorpion stings the frog, who says, "You fool, we'll both die." and the Scorpion says... "Sorry... it's my nature." The other half of the Desperado, has a tactic, is that it's naturally self-destructive. As outlandish as this movie is, and it is... crazy... outlandish... as you get older you see the genius in it. The lack of fear of a gambit, the insane suicide play... it works. Many times you will clench victory from the jaws of defeat simply by insisting on making the last move... if not for yourself, but for others. And opponents flounder because their conviction waves. It's self-destructive, absolutely, but what is the weapon of the morally absolute other than having it in their darkest hour? Nobody in this movie can shoot a damn thing either, so when it comes down between insanity versus insanity - whoever doesn't flinch wins... and you need to be a desperado to do that. A trained shooter could walk through this movie killing absolutely everyone but... trained shooters wouldn't bother with this life anyway. But crazy people would. That's the secret, that's the sauce in this movie. Desperado. It's an important lesson and why it's a cultural icon of south america. Because you may never have anything substantial in life but that last move is always yours to play. Do it right, do it with gusto and... who knows, maybe it was just your next move. You'll never see a chess player hesitate more than when you offer a sacrifice, boldly, without regret... you'll burn their clock. Nobody expects you to lay it all on the line so, so, so very consistently. I've never seen chess boards flipped so quickly as when someone plays that boldly and aggressively. If you play your first move like it's your last - it's crazy, but it is bold, and while it being a strategy it's perilous... it's not without its merit. There's something to it. And that's what the movie is all about.
