Exploring Animation and Rango's Themes

I love animation Since I was a child I have seen hundreds and hundreds of animated films that have been part of my life of all kinds and at all ages. For many people it is like: "Oh, but you watch cartoon movies for children...?" These people are quite stupid Because they believe that animation is a genre and no, animation is not a genre for children or a specific audience. Animation is an art, it is cinema and a medium in which to talk about really deep, painful things. , beautiful and human [Guillermo del Toro] Animation is cinema, it is not a genre Animation has given us a large number of priceless gems for decades You just have to go back to the movies of your childhood to remember one classic after another and yes, of course we also find authentic masterpieces today. But over time, many animated films, especially those with talking animals, are becoming more and more similar to each other the designs of the characters, animals, films. that have the same joke that you've already seen 40 times in the trailer... The big blockbusters now actively seek to have very cute, adorable characters that are pretty and have a clean aesthetic cute kawai desunee [girl] It's so soft that I want to die! Well, die (he's doing her a favor) And sequels to your favorite movies that don't even have a message anymore, the only objective is to make more money But there was a movie that did not give a f*ck that didn't want to be pretty or adorable, but that the uglier and more horrible, the better with a main theme that is not at all typical of a children's movie and that is where it comes in... Rango [Jake Viper] This channel is now mine, so give it a like if you don't want to die [Jake Viper] And subscribe to the channel because no man can escape from JWulen [Jake Viper] Because these are... 30 Amazing Curiosities about Rango All Rango was previously filmed with all the actors who would voice the animals in the movie they filmed the entire movie with them acting in each scene, the gestures and dialogues of each character [Johnny Depp] I stand corrected [Isla Fisher] You ain't from around here, are you? Scene by scene so that this would serve as a reference for the animators to then animate the entire movie from scratch [Johnny Depp] Instead of motion capture is kinda emotion capture. That is to say that there is an entire movie out there with Johnny Deep playing chameleon for almost 2 hours [Johhny Profundo] It's an amazing casting of people who will never be seen The director of Rango is Gore Verbinski, director of Pirates of the Caribbean Rango is Johnny Depp and Viper Jake is Bill Nighy, Davy Jones in the original trilogy of movies and this masterpiece begins We are on a stage like Rango's terrarium, which is also his own stage and the letters of "Rango" appear... Hahaha the one with the guitar is scared by the gunshot The mariachis who tell us the legend de Rango are small owls, this long-legged bird also appears in the deserts and unlike other owls and owls they remain active during the day that is why we always see them during sunny hours. The violinist is called Lupe and the accordion player is Señor Flan En In most animated movies the notes of the instruments that are played are usually wrong. Although in others it is well animated. But here he even plays the correct chords on the guitar and in his eyes we see the reflection of the rest of the theater in which they are theay wear very cute little trousers and each one has a different mustache And here is our hero, a little chameleon But he has no name, Rango is the name he gives himself [chameleon] My name is... Rango For the character who builds, but originally when we meet him he has no name nor do we know where he comes from because he lives in a fish tank of a family about which we know nothing. Something quite common in Westerns where the protagonist is just a lone gunman with some nickname that comes from a distant place that is never mentioned Rango is that protagonist, he just doesn't know it yet [chameleon] Who am I? He's warming up his voice because he's going to act, but this is exactly what actor Johnny Depp does before acting in a scene to warm up. He wears a flowered Hawaiian shirt, which is the main garment worn by Johnny Deep's character in the movie "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas." Along with Benicio del Toro's red shirt, Rango is a Veiled Chameleon, the most common species of chameleon and it is a male because if you look at its feet it has a small protuberance on the back of its legs while the females have it completely smooth Rango's voice is of course Johnny Deep's But for the voice of the character the actor based on a mixture of that of the legendary comic actor Don Notch and that of Kermit the Frog. And the character of Rango itself is inspired by the appearance of Don Knotts as the character of Barney Fife in "The Andy Griffith Show" [chameleon ] The evil Malvolio plans his ascension to the throne Malvolio is the name of a malevolent character in "Twelfth Night", a comedy by William Shakespeare, and the Broken Doll drinks poison [chameleon] She reaches for the poison chalice A nod to the 1955 movie "Court Jester" [man] Does the chalice in the palace had the poison? You can see until the palm tree is plastic due to the high degree of detail in the movie Even when he nails the flag In the stones of the terrarium they move [chameleon] What's that, Victor? My character is not defined? That's absurd! It's right, Rango's character is not defined, he is a Chameleon capable of adapting to any role, situation or character. But deep down... [chameleon] Who am I? He doesn't know who he is He doesn't have a clear identity [chameleon] I know who I am! I'm the... (he doesn't know) The camera zooms out a little and we have the limits of the terrarium, we were in a set, the same one that Rango draws on the glass and that the spirit of the desert also draws later. Rango's conflict derives from his own nature, being a Chameleon, he can be anything given his ability to adapt [chameleon] I could be anyone. But being so many things, he doesn't know who he really is, that's why he plays one role after another [chameleon] I could be the ship captain. .. Including that of a ship captain in a nod to Jack Sparrow, another Johnny Depp character [chameleon] ...who reclaims his mechanical arm. And the mechanical arm may perhaps be a nod to Edward Scissorhands, another role of the actor [chameleon] I would become the greatest lover the world has ever known This is undoubtedly a reference to the movie "Don Juan Demarco" where Johnny Depp played a patient with mental problems who believed he was the best lover in the world but Rango not only has a very serious identity crisis and does not know what his place in the world or his purpose in life is. But they also make it clear to us that he is very, very alone [chameleon] I was very popular! [armadillo] Friends? I don't see no friends. You are a very lonely lizard. This Rango gag with the doll is practically the same one that Donald O'Connor did in the movie "Singing in the Rain" with a rag mannequin [chameleon] Are those real? [chameleon] Conflict! That conflict is about to happen We can see how Rango's pupils contract The eyes are a key element of the movie at the level of expression and narration in almost all the characters [Viper Jake] Look into my eyes and the looks are a key part of Western cinema, not to mention the level of detail in the realistic animation of this film and boom! The conflict arrives And we see that Rango was only in the back of the car of a family that is moving and we can see the armadillo run down the road seconds before causing the accident that will change Rango's life The Hail Mary plays emphasizing the miraculous nature of this fortuitous event that Rango survives completely unscathed In the box there was a board game, the boy carries a toy of a legendary biker, Evel Knievel who performed impossible stunts Ironically, a van with a huge tank of water passes behind him, which is what Rango will not have from now on. The doll hugs Rango, the umbrella falls over the edge, all this is chance, luck saves Rango and it will not be the only time we see how luck saves Rango. Curiously, Mr. Tims, the little fish he carries with him, in Buddhism represents the good luck of all living beings in a state of absence of fear foreshadowing the luck Rango will have throughout the movie and especially when he hugs him, because at that moment Rango is no longer afraid, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. We can see the waves of heat emitted by the asphalt and the desert in the distance, it is incredibly hot here Rango is left without a single drop of water which is critical, because chameleons need to have a humidity of at least 80%, or else they could get sick. He shed their skin twice, something that reptiles do due to lack of humidity and when they grow up Character development, or rather... dehydration We follow the car's braking and we reach the armadillo, run over right in the middle Its name is "Roadkill", which means run over, because in the United States run overs of armadillos are very common These enter the highways to try to feed on the carrion of other animals that have been run over, so he says it has happened to him many times before [chameleon] So you mean you've done this before? [armadillo] Oh yes, many times. I must get to the other side Going to the other side is dying, this old armadillo is prepared to embrace death But he still has one role left, that of guiding Rango, that's why he doesn't finish dying Look for the Spirit of the West and he will find him at the end of the movie This is Clint Eastwood, because who else would play the figure of God in a Western? and the search for truth [Spirit of the West] I am searching, the same as you The Spirit of the West embodies enlightenment [armadillo] Enlightenment. They say he rides in an alabaster chariot. He refers to the chariot with which we found him [armadillo] With his golden guardians and the Oscars he carries with him, which are 5, just like the ones the actor has won, including several for best film, as we see in this Óscar [armadillo] Tomorrow is Wednesday, the water comes On Wednesday the water arrives, that's why Rango wakes up almost drowning in a pipe Because the next day is Wednesday, which is when the mayor and his thugs activate the desert valve [armadillo] Pull my finger That's an old fart joke Rango flies off and reaches a convertible where he meets Duke, Johnny Depp's character in "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" sitting behind is Benicio del Toro, Oscar Z Johnny Depp's character's glasses and hat are just like those in the movie. He's Tobey Maguire in this movie, he's brutal. He sees Rango, a reptile, and says [Duke] I knew it! In reference to the mythical scene of the hallucination he has with the hotel lizards in that movie. In fact, there are theories that say that Rango is just the dream that Duke has during this movie. That Rango ends just when Johnny Depp's character wakes up. The water represents knowledge, the truth, in this movie [armadillo] If you want to find water, you must first find dirt He is telling him that to find water he must get his hands dirty because there is something macabre behind all this Even though he has been run over, the armadillo returns to be fine as if nothing had happened, because his destiny is to help Rango. He is also a symbol of resilience in many cultures, but above all of knowledge and wisdom. That is why he is in charge of advising Rango [armadillo] I will see you on the other side and so Rango's adventure in the desert begins The cattle skull the mariachis are standing on has a bullet hole in its forehead, implying that it was murdered [mariachis] Watch how he loses its ba...! Throughout the movie there are many references to Rango dying or going to die [owl]. But the lizard? He is going to die in fact in the beginning song they mention that he dies [mariachis] The life and premature death of a great legend and in the main theme of the movie they say that Bad Bill killed him, this character [Music] *But it came Bad Bill... with a notion to kill... Rango* And yes, Rango dies, metaphorically, when Viper Jake strips him of his identity and who he is Unmasking him in front of everyone revealing his lie [chameleon] 87 years ago, our parents founded... What Rango says are the same words with which the Gettysburg speech begins, given by Abraham Lincoln [someone] Don't move Rango listens a voice and thinks he sees a face in this palm tree, the first symptom of the heat and hallucinations of the desert due to the lack of water. The frog that speaks to him is a desert rain frog that usually camouflages itself to avoid predators [frog] Blend in He tells Rango to camouflage himself with the environment, stating that he will have to adapt if he wants to survive in the town and the desert and begins to change color, since chameleons do this to hide from predators. The falcon is one with a red tail and has a metal prosthesis in his beak, because he may have lost it in a previous fight perhaps against Viper Jake, who is a rattlesnake that lost his rattle in his tail that's why he carries a machine gun. Being the falcon is the only one he fears in the entire desert The metal beak is named after the metal nose of the villain played by Lee Marvin in "Cat Ballou" [chameleon] Hey, proboscis It means proboscis, in reference to those animals with a proboscis on their face or an elongated appendage like the beak of the falcon Something that especially pisses him off since the falcon does not have a beak and by the way on its beak there are engravings like the ones that cowboys in the old west made on their weapons and this one seems to have a cattle skull on it The bottle in which Rango encloses is "jarrito" brand. When it releases the bottle we hear the sound of vacuum (The sound of the "camera" coming out) when it leaves the inside of the bottle to the outside, Rango falls on the frog, again his luck saves him again The frog is very selfish first he is happy that Rango is going to die [frog] Goodbye, "amigo" then he tries to convince him to let him in and he laughs again The hawk takes him away and we never see the frog again, because it is part of his diet [frog] You a son of a... The falcon censures him, but this also happened in "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly" [man] *very ugly things* Rango is a love letter to Western cinema Rango finds refuge in a pipe to sleep, since chameleons are diurnal animals and sleep at night. He dreams of the face he saw in the desert and sees how the cacti turn into snake rattles foreshadowing the arrival of Viper Jake at the end of the movie but also the search for the valve at the end with the walking plants. This nightmare is based on the dream sequence of "Arizona Dream", a 1993 movie starring, guess who, Johnny Depp [fish] Where are your friends now, "amigo"? And again they highlight the loneliness Rango drowns in the dream because he is drowning in reality The water evaporates again and Rango fills his mouth with mud, mud that we will now see dried up in the corners of his mouth Rango grabs Beans' boots, a desert iguana [Beans] Our town is drying up, and there is someone dumping water in the desert. This one was trying to find out the causes of the drought in the town. I love that Rango's shirt is now all torn up and he's only been out for a day. [Beans] They never found the body Beans says that they never found his father's body that he was never near the mine and that he had been sober for more than a month [Beans] At a delicate time on my personal development He must have died when she was just a girl, that's when Beans becomes paralyzed This is a defense mechanism of many iguanas and reptiles against predators but here she is not in danger. Then when she talks to the banker he mentions: [squirrel] Since your father... Did not fell drunk into the mine shaft his father's death in detail and the special episodes of Beans [squirrel] Was it during one of your... special times? Applied to human beings, these episodes are called "absences", moments in which someone cannot speak or move. It is genetically hereditary, her father surely also suffered from it like her since they are iguanas. but the death of his father is too similar to the settling of accounts that the mayor will make with Mr. Merrimack Who also dies drowned [Doc] He was drowned! Well, the mayor wants to keep all the land and the only one he has left is Beans' father's ranch. This is why the mayor got rid of him with the excuse that he was a drunk and Beans may have witnessed this, something that altered his paralysis system [Rank] Why does she do that? [ambrose] It's a survival reflex [Doc] But her switch is just broken So maybe Beans saw her father die and this was the trauma that broke that switch that makes her suffer these episodes without meaning in situations where there is no no danger Well, iguanas only activate this response in dangerous situations When Beans returns from these absences she talks about completely different things than what she was talking about [Beans] My daddy's ranch, which is... [Beans] It's not a rash, it's a birthmark! another sign that she forgets what was happening at that moment and that she probably forgot how her father died Trauma from which only shock was left. But now let's continue with the story Rango smells Beans, but he can't actually smell her because chameleons have no sense of smell This is just to show us that he likes her Beans wears a necklace of what appears to be an iguana in profile of a relative or an ancestor of yours [Peter] Grandma... [Beans] Today is Wednesday And it is Wednesday, the day the water arrives to the town But today it will not arrive because they have thrown it into the desert through the pipe in which Rango slept That's why later nothing comes out and the fact that mud comes out means that there has recently been water, it's just that they have cut it off and what is pulling the cart is a wild boar [mariachis] Much like the sirens of ancient times It makes a reference to the sirens that attracted with their song Ulysses and his people during the Odyssey and that they intended to drown the sailors, which is precisely what the mayor does with all his victims, because he is a *censored* You think about how twisted this is, a town dead of thirst, unable to find water and the mayor drowns you with what you most want [Mayor] So desperate to live... that they will follow the water anywhere All the animals in the movie need water to live, but curiously the desert tortoise that is the mayor, although he also needs water, can last longer without it and even reabsorb his own urine [Absorption-man] The ability I have is to absorb a liter and a half of water in one fell swoop anally So when he drinks or serves water in front of someone he does it to make them desperate and in return accept any of his demands One of the owls uses the Pizzicato technique of pinching the ropes with his feathers On the way to dirt Rango continues talking to Beans of all the characters he played in his terrarium [chameleon] I have my stage name, my avatar But he doesn't say who he is [chameleon] Who am I? She leaves Rango on the outskirts of the town so that they don't associate her with a stranger. Just as the armadillo said, a day's walk through the desert is the town of Dirt. The name is making it clear to us that the movie does not pretend to be pretty [man] It is beautiful but represents the harshness of life in the desert. The town is made with remains of garbage and abandoned objects from the desert such as a jug for water, remains of scrap metal, food cans as a chimney, a barrel that is another building The fact that there is no water in the town takes inspiration from the animated movie "Fievel Goes West" from 91 But mainly it is a tribute to the Chinatown movie because the mayor is based on the character of Noah Cross in that same one movie There is a family of rabbits that must leave the town along with their children in their arms or hanging since they have had to sell their land to the mayor But let's talk about one of the best details of this movie: the asymmetry The movie is full of asymmetry, Rango has one eye bigger than the other, the doctor has a rabbit missing an ear, there is a war veteran chicken with an arrow stuck in his eye This flamingo has a prosthetic leg, this lizard is missing a horn, which is broken Viper Jake his rattle, the falcon his beak, the town blacksmith is missing a hoof, there is a mole with heterochromia or with each eye a different color , there is a scorpion with a hook on its tail. Most of the characters have injuries or are missing something and although they are in the background they make us imagine their story, for example why the rabbit is missing an ear, an alcoholic doctor who was surely in the war and was traumatized [Priscilla] You're funny looking [chameleon] You're funny looking too Priscilla is a nod to Priscilla, "the queen of the desert" The girl is an Aye-aye, an animal that lives in Madagascar is the only one that It doesn't fit into the entire movie because it doesn't belong in this habitat and they are animals that give bad luck to those who come across them, that's why the girl tells him that he is going to die [Priscilla] Strangers don't last long here Rango calls her "sister " [Rango] Wow, hold on, little sister Little Sister, which is what "Rooster" Cogburn calls his pet in "True Grit" [Cogburn] Sit down, sis Well, Prisilla plays the role of the little girl in this movie, at least from the girl from the 2010 version Rango tries to adapt to the town by imitating the inhabitants of Mugre But he can't even spit because he hasn't drunk water yet with Rango's arrival at the sloon and they look at him it is a sequence copied from the movie "Once Upon a Time in the West" something very typical of Westerns At the poker table the owl has a curious hand of cards, a pair of black aces and black eights The same cards that the legendary gunslinger "Wild" Bill Hickok held seconds before being shot to death in the Deadwood saloon in South Dakota which is why this hand of cards is known as "the dead man's hand" Implying that Rango is a dead man This creature is playing the spoons, a musical instrument of very ancient origin and used in Peruvian music He spits to show his contempt but also for the chewing tobacco that was consumed at that time And what was done to eliminate the leftover juices when chewing the nicotine that is why his saliva has that brown tone This glass It floats out, but we can also slightly see a kind of skull in the glass [chameleon] I'd like a glass of water Everyone laughs at him, even the company ladies like the toad lady who has some... [Dr. Strange] Chichotas this big, Peter! They offer him cactus juice, which is the equivalent of alcohol [Spoons] Who exactly are you? Rango experiences his identity crisis again and reflects himself in the mirror behind the saloon in the same way he did in his terrarium and takes his new name [Rango] Rango From "Durango" that appears on the bottle But Rango is a parody of Django [Django] Django One of the most legendary spaghetti Westerns of the 60s [Django] The "D" is silent And he acts as he did in his terrarium Until he makes them believe he is an infamous gunslinger [Rango] Killed them with one bullet The thing about killing seven men with a single bullet is the same lie that the brave little tailor tells in the popular children's story Where he actually killed seven flies. At the bank, the cash register has numbers for the amounts of water that should be given to the clients and those of money Water is the greatest wealth in this film They sell it in different measures, as if they were coins of greater or lesser value In relation to the amount of water contained in each container, they even offer water instead for some rewards of money The banker takes the pills without water because there is no more. They are for the anxiety of knowing how little water they have left. What will they say to the people who come for their savings and because the mayor has already threatened him, not in vain they find him dead, Bad Bill arrives and threatens a chicken, from which he removes some of its last feathers. Rango accidentally sets him on fire and is challenged to a duel to the death against Bill and his gang. But again he is saved by his own luck because the hawkappears and scares them away. On the facade of the bank there is a water valve instead of a coin Rango runs away and hides in a bathroom, which is a bottle of Pepto-Bismol, a medication that relieves digestive problems *ad addressed to your grandmother* This is a reference to the mythical toilet scene from Jurassic Park Rango takes advantage of the distraction to run for his life The music in the chase is a nod to the scenes from "Arizona Baby" from '87 The horseshoes hanging upside down attract good luck and if hung upside down they attract negative forces To make a deal with the devil to obtain wealth Rango hides in the vending machine and adopts the colors of licorice, shoots to free himself... And again with a single bullet he defeats the falcon and establishes his legend [Spoons] He did it with one bullet [Fozo] Just like said! [mariachi] In the guacamole of his own deception The guacamole of his deception, this movie... In the mayor's office his pictures already tell us that he will try to kill Rango Well, he is the real villain along with older photos of him the same where he comes out younger because he has lived hundreds of years like any good turtle. On the other side there is a newspaper that says that the clock tower was on fire once and that Spoons, the spoon guy, found a spleen among his droppings [Spoons ] I found a human spinal column in my fecal matter once *eloquent silence* The mayor's secretary is a fox and is reading a fashion magazine that parodies Vogue next to a diploma with the mayor's name, Marion Lynch Rango throws the balls of golf, the camera turns and we can already see the main headline of the newspaper: "golfer survives lightning strike" so who we see in the photo on the stretcher is the mayor that's why he is in a wheelchair because he was struck by lightning while playing golf Well, the clubs are metal and attracted lightning, that's why now he only uses wooden golf clubs. Beans leaves the office and we know that the mayor has offered him to sell his land and get out of Dirt to keep the entire town. The mayor is a turtle with a gold tooth [Marion] Control the water and you will control everything He is already telling us that he is the one who controls the town's water and that he uses it to have each inhabitant in the palm of his hand He has a gallon of water crystal clear for him alone and just as we saw in the bank where water is sold in gulps, this is a lot of money [Marion] Water from the Great Deluge... not Noah's Deluge, of course The Universal Deluge of the Bible, where Noah had to gather all the animals in an ark But the town did flood once. It probably has to do with the aquifer that they will discover later and through which the town will flood again [Marion] Power has its privileges But he doesn't pour water for Rango. On the mayor's table there is a kind of acoustic tube that connects with the secretary's table to communicate with each other. But what caught my attention the most is that the mayor's office is full of books, you can't even see one more in the entire town, he is a cultured man and he has not only deprived them of water but also of education and knowledge. The children do not go to school, he is interested in ensuring that the people of the town continue to be rednecks to take advantage of it, they go out to the balcony and on the clock tower there is a belt that holds the roof He open the box and there are a few sheriff's badges, a clue that Rango is not the first sheriff in town As we will see later [Marion] Your destiny awaits The mayor manipulates Rango into wanting to be the sheriff and entertain the town while they run out of water. This spider is not just the tailor, he appears measuring Rango with his tape all the time. He is Mr. Black, the town's undertaker (steampunk spider = GOD design 10/10) and he is taking measurements for Rango to make a coffin, which goes with his design because he is a black widow and his bite is fatal [child] Excuse me, Mr. Rango Rango almost killed the child who was laughing at him when he came to town This woman is holding a Bible, so the Christian faith exists in the movie [Rango] Oh, you want the old John Hancock John Hancock was an American smuggler merchant The boy puts the gun in his mouth, points it at his mother... Rango signs in the Bible, in the Old Testament, a sign of pride as a sheriff who still does not deserve to be [Beans] Did anybody here mentioned what happened to our last sheriff? This confirms why the mayor has so many sheriff's badges. The town bell rings and everyone goes downtown like zombies like Resident Evil 4. The song that plays is by Marty Robbins, "Cool World." A song about dehydration and how the lack of water makes you have hallucinations in the desert and since the mayor is the one behind the lack of water... to make them do this ridiculous ritual and on top of that play this song is to be a twisted psychopath The ritual is slightly reminiscent of that of Star Trek episode of the return of the Archons Although it is a typical American country dance Rango hits an old woman and leaves her unconscious, he jumps ahead of the line to get in front of a limping Indian crow [Wounded Bird] Dead bird, snake comes Snakes are part of the hawks' diet, so it is normal that Viper Jake feared the hawk [Priscilla] That's just what Amos said The girl mentions Sheriff Amos, the previous sheriff and we see a shot with all the graves of the previous sheriffs of the town On Amos' tombstone it says Thurs-Sat, an abbreviation of Thursday and Saturday in English that must have been the days he was alive behind it it says "he's dead, Jim" a phrase from Dr. Leonard Nimoy from Star Treck On another tombstone it says " boobs", in another "hold my beer and look at this" and in another "rest in pieces" Here the water is as if it were a deity and the mayor his prophet [Marion] Prepare the holy spigot! I love the symbolism of the valve that opens the water faucet being almost a Christian cross. Water is their religion [Spoons] It's a miracle! and let us remember that all this is a theater [Marion] The sacred time does not need to do this for there to be water, which reinforces the film's criticism of faith as an instrument of deception and how the church in ancient times manipulated many uneducated people who were in a serious moment of need In this case the lack of water The town panics when they know that they barely have any water left [toad] And my rehydration account? He says that because the vast majority of amphibians need to rehydrate their skin with water Rango can't stop drinking because he hasn't had any water for about two days The spurs on a cowboy's boots are so that they dig into the horse when we ride on it to to be able to direct it where we want Rango has his own name engraved in gold on his belt Some thieves break into the city and Rango gives them all the facilities to get to the bank because he is stupid And they leave the town without the water they had left [concerned citizen] The bank's been robbed! The funniest thing is that in 1967 there was a television series called Rango where Tim Conway played a rather useless and clumsy sheriff named [narrator] Rango! In fact the letters in the series' title are the same as the ones we see at the beginning of the movie. The next morning at the sheriff's office we see a poster of Bad Bill and other criminals on the wall who work for the mayor when they ride to return 2 minutes later in the distance we see Monument Valley, where cowboy movies were filmed in the USA. The chicken with the arrow in his eye also seems to be a war veteran, as he is wearing the complete uniform of the battalion in which he served and the arrow in the eye gift of some Indian he fought against They decide to get to the bottom of the matter and enter the hole in the bank following a pipe until they reach an aquifer, a geological formation capable of storing good quality water [Beans] It's an aquifer but now it is everything dry, because the mayor has closed the valve. On their way they find a large giant eye of an enormous creature. For years it has been speculated that it was a crocodile, but the truth is that reptiles have much thinner pupils. This eye It corresponds more to that of an amphibian, be it a giant toad or a turtle but it is somewhat metaphorical. It represents how the mayor is watching them at all times But let's be honest they just have to jump to cross an extremely thin and long bridge while a huge eye watches them... That is a reference to the Khazad-Dum bridge from The Lord of the Rings where the fellowship of the ring had to cross and the great eye that sees everything is the eye of Sauron because let's remember that the director of Rango is the director of Pirates of the Caribbean and Pirates of the Caribbean started in 2003 Just when "The Return of the King" ended , the last of the Lord of the Rings trilogy So I think this is ultimately a small tribute [Turley] We are experiencing a paradox shift! I love how the characters are aware of the script of the movie itself [Lupe]. When is he going to die? (Rango) [Sr. Flan] Soon, compadre When we left the aquifer we found the yuccas completely dry, since the plants cannot take the water that was in the aquifer [Beans] All they wanted was a little water, they find Mr. Merrimack who has drowned, ironically, in the middle of the desert [Waffles] The circle of life That's from "The Lion King" [Wounded Bird] No, I'm molting Some crows can take up to six months to molt The cactus fruit is what the blind thief from the bank were eating when Rango finds them The doctor puts on the glove to inspect the prostate of one of those present [Wounded Bird] Awkward [Gil Birmingham] Which one of you fellas need a checkout? (this is how they recorded this) and the search for the thieves begins. At night they gather around a bonfire, because the nights in the desert are extremely cold [Mr. obvious] It's cold at night [Beans] Do you want? (beans) [Rango] No, thank you Rango does not eat beans, because chameleons feed only on insects He talks about the Spirit of the West and draw the golden guardians like the Oscar statuettes that they are Then draw several Ties or empire fighters in Star Wars next to the Kiss band logo and a "Kilroy was here" graffiti that was popularized during World War II [Rango] Jake? Do you mean my brother? [Turley] Your brother?! [Rank] Mom had an active... social life His mother was sassy? [Rango] Luckily I'm immune to his venom Rango says he's immune to poison so Viper Jake offers him a glass of poison later [Viper Jake] Brother, thirsty? What we hear is a coyote, the natural predator of all the animals we see here. From all of them except Elgin, which is the name of this lynx that we meet in the town bar. In fact, it is the only one that is not scared. of those present and removes his hand like: "take it away!" [Buford] I ain't sleeping tonight Of course because the toads sleep during the day and at night they are active. They dedicate a prayer to the Spirit of the West, their God, and Rango realizes that for the first time he is not alone and is surrounded by people who values him. ​​Rango talks to Beans, but not before checking if she has had one of her attacks [Rango] Just checking [Beans] There is an old legend that says they actually cross and the legend is true because Rango sees them walking at the end of the movie Beans mentions that she also lives alone on her ranch and refers to it as a box, she has no friends... [Beans] Pretty isolated ranch, sort of like a bean sealed up in a little box She seems to be describing in detail Rango's life in the terrarium are soul mates who have lived alone until now [Beans] Is there someone special in your life? [Rango] There used to be, but she... couldn't keep her head. Rango refers to the headless doll that he has Beans pretends to have one of his episodes to find out what Rango's true feelings are. By the morning they find the thieves next to what appears to be a small city carved into the rock like the Red City of Petra in Jordan Rango repeats his warm-up exercises before performing and asks Beans for her dress size [Rango] What dress size do you wear? To wear it, in a nod to Johnny Depp playing Ed Wood, who used to dress as a woman [Wood] Makes me feel comfortable [mole] Someone's coming! The blind mole is the first to realize that someone is coming because he has the finest hearing. The owls now play instruments of medieval origin for the theater and Rango and his friends perform the same play that he rehearsed alone at the beginning of the movie The Moles emerge from the ground like Zombies in a nod to the children of the hydra from "Clash of the Titans" This mole is blind because he is the oldest of all because moles have very poor vision The face of the old mole is based on that of the actor who he is played by, Harry Dean Stanton [old man mole] We'll have a good old-fashioned standoff He refers to a Mexican standoff, typical of many movies, where all the characters aims among them and this mole wears Jack Nicholson's golden football helmet in "Easy Rider " When we take off the moles on the bats we hear Bachner's "Ride of the Valkyries" which Apocalypse Now popularized with its legendary sequence of the helicopters taking off. They shoot with their machine guns but don't get a shot because they see very poorly. This is the best scene of action of the film Not only is it inspired by the desert chases of Mad Max 2, it also stands out too much to be just an animated film This because Gore Verbinski is the director of some of the best fights and choreography in Pirates of the Caribbean Rango in the rope hanging like Jack Sparrow fleeing from the indigenous people or that ease for everything to turn out well without planning it Spoons gets under Rango's skirts... just look at how the toad is shooting and reloading the shotgun with one hand or how the owl turns the face at the right moment completely to avoid direct punches and continues hitting the mole is CINEMA [Juan] You caught me, yes it is cinema The cart overturns and the jug rolls down the hill in slow motion to pass over them just like Ironhide did in Transformers 1 Rrevealing that the jug is full of sand and inside there are only Mr. Merrimack's glasses. Well, he was drowned with the little water that was left from the bank and they left him lying in the desert. They return to town empty-handed, defeated and Rango goes to see the mayor Everyone is playing golf while drinking water as if it were a Martini knowing how bad the townspeople are doing [me] What sons of *censored* Rango picks up their boots and sees that they are stained with wet mud [Rango] Interesting because these boots left the footprints that were next to Mr. Merrimack's body and they are the same ones left when the valve was closed. The mayor shows Rango that they are building near Dirt [Marion] This is going to fade into myth It represents the end of the era of cowboys and the town The mayor's chair has a complex system of ropes and pulleys to be able to play golf The mole is combing his baby because he knows that they will be sentenced to death by hanging [elderly mole] You must look presentable to meet your maker No in vain later three nooses appear on the gallows for each of the thieves who are going to kill [Rango] Believe in that there sign, for as long as it hangs there, we got hope Although Viper Jake shoots the sign This one continues to hang by the minimal and will continue to hang there until the end of the movie. Representing the return of Rango and that there is still a minimum of hope for the town and Viper Jake appears who appears for about 5 minutes in total and steals the entire movie. It is one of the best character designs in an animated movie, a rattlesnake with a hat and a minigun on its tail With bandanas around it with all the ammunition Each of its scales is individually animated and with a series of scales with a different pattern that form a perfect mustache Like that of the villain of "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly" played by Lee Van Cleef Who is inspired by this character who, having no hands, takes Rango's gun and fits it into one of the barrels of the minigun that he has in his tail Viper Jake faces Rango and sees the fear in Rango's eyes [Jake Viper] Just one, right? Pull the trigger [Jake Viper] You've got a killer in your eyes, son, I don't see it Because he may have fooled the town, but you can't fool death [Jake Viper] You lied, you're not even from the West Jake exposes him in front of the whole town He's just a coward who pretended to be a legend Rango dies here in a symbolic way [Beans] Who are you? Rango still doesn't answer that question because he still doesn't have an answer. He throws away his badge and leaves the town through the cemetery, in a nod to the movie "High Noon" and to the same thing that the sheriff did. In fact in "High Noon" the The sheriff also leaves and then returns to save the town and first asks others for help to confront the gunmen, which is exactly what Rango will do later with the moles. Even the time of the final duel is the same as the one in the movie. I noticed that Jake's Viper rattle has some marks that seem to tell something that he himself must have done with his fangs. With them he counts every man he has killed or every soul he has taken to hell and taking into account that it was he who killed the Jenkins brothers [Jake Viper] They told me how you killed the Jenkins brothers Yes, that's why he got so angry with Rango because he was the one who had killed them and he wanted to take the credit and that there are at least more than 10 marks on his tail, he has killed at least 10 people Which is a lot, considering that outlaws like Billy "The Kid" killed at least 21 men in armed duels and the life of an outlaw was not usually very long But Billy "The Kid" did not die because he is now a playable character in the new Zenless Zone Zero Billy has returned in the form of a kawai desunee cyborg who talks with his two guns with which you can shoot anything that moves while doing one of the things you love the most in a videogame to slide and shoot at the same time It doesn't matter what platform you play on, PlayStation 5, your grandmother's phone or a PC Start from scratch easily without difficult tutorials But make it organic, don't look like an advertisement (clearly it is) Wait... Coco, that's not the sign! (bow down before me human, I will not tolerate this humiliation) Fulfill your wettest otaku fantasy with your anime crush, run into the sunset with the power of friendship or combine all attacks, skills and ultimates to destroy your enemies Because each character has a final attack as if this were an anime Oh! What's that? It's a bamboo, how cute. What is he carrying in his hand? It's 80 bamboopons and it's... "free" One hundred free spins for agents... what... what are you doing to it JWulen? [JWulen] I said read it out loud [Bamboo] Valid from July 4 at 10 until July 11 at 12 and reward: [Bamboo] 300 movies 3000 pence, two records of the veteran researcher and three modules of energy [Bamboo] The second code, "Zenlesslaunch" 60 movies and 6666 pence The mariachis do not play music to accompany him, only the lonely sound of the desert accompanies him And indicates its end We are back to where we were at the beginning, Rango still does not know who he is nor what his place in the world is He himself had believed his own lie but at least he had friends and he was no longer alone and here we are again the beginning of the journey the road where Rango fell at the beginning is now the end of the road Without knowing it, Rango has walked aimlessly through the desert until here. The lights of the cars in the distance blurred into a thin line and a lonely soul on the other side of the road. Rango hugs Mr. Tims again because he is the only thing in the world now. that makes him feel at home or at least the home he knew He hugs him tightly and with great affection because he knows it will be the last time He sits next to his doll as if it were comforting him because Rango is carrying deep sadness now Finally faces the eternal question that has been on his mind since the film began. A question that every human being or that we have all asked ourselves [chameleon]: Who am I? And he answers: [chameleon] I'm nobody Rango is nobody It's not just Viper Jake's humiliation that really destroys Rango inside, is that after playing so many different roles, so many characters, pretending to be someone he is not... He realizes that deep down he is nobody. Just as people constantly pretend to be someone they are not to seek approval or acceptance of others From wearing one mask after another, pretending to be who you are not day after day in the end you only realize that you have lost yourself and you no longer know who you are Rango has no name, it has no origin, nor we know where he comes from or who he is, but the one he has always been fooling is himself, and a chameleon who is nobody has no purpose or desire to live. That's why Rango takes off his hat and prepares to die Rango wants to end his life, he crosses without any car touching him again, his luck saves him. Before crossing, he hugged the fish because he was no longer afraid of dying, he was prepared. Rango collapses on the other side because he has symbolically died again. The insects of the desert, almost as a miracle, they take him to the Spirit of the West and also take his hat. Rango wakes up in a limbo very similar to that of Jack Sparrow in the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean at the End of the World." Where this same character had an existential crisis and he also wondered who he was The Spirit of the West car is a golf cart We see Clint Eastwood in his role as The Man With No Name, with his mythical poncho The thing about the golf cart is a nod to the fact that the actor has his own golf course for Hollywood celebrities the Spirit of the desert digs up a fish hook and says: [Spirit of the West] I'm searching, same as you This is a fishing hook, Rango shows him that years ago there was water here and people fished It has a metal detector because he unearths the truth no matter how deep it is buried [Spirit of the West] We would be eating Pop-Tarts with Kim Novak Pop-Tarts are a brand of candy and Kim Novak was one of the last stars of the golden times of Hollywood seems to have found more than one hook, emphasizing that here there was a lake or something The Spirit is looking for the truth, the water [chameleon] They used to call you the Man with No Name His character in Sergio Leone's dollar trilogy does not had a name never, he was no one Just like Rango is no one [chameleon] I am nobody In fact the Spirit of the West represents in part everything that Rango can become [Spirit of the West] It's the deeds that makes the man It means that it doesn't matter who you are or even that you are nobody It doesn't matter that you don't have a name, it is your own actions and decisions that make you [Spirit of the West] Nowadays they got a name for just about everything People will always name everything [Spoons] Who exactly are you? But you will always be what you choose and want to do with your own life no matter what they call you [Rango] Rango [chameleon] But they need some kind of hero [Spirit of the West] So BE a hero No hero is born, but is made. ago The Spirit of the West draws the picture again, the terrarium in which Rango is locked up, and tells him: [Spirit of the West] No man can walk out from his own history (10/10 and CINEMA) [Spirit of the West] You came a long way to find something that isn't out here Just as it came the spirit leaves until it fades with the heat of the desert as if it were a mirage The landscape now changes completely, it shows a completely clear sky Rango has achieved enlightenment, but no It is not a divine or religious revelation He can simply finally see things with total clarity The armadillo meets Rango again just as he told him at the beginning [armadillo] I will see you on the other side [armadillo] The other side of the road... we have seen what we needed to see Indicating that although both are on the other side and have achieved enlightenment, each one has seen a different thing and has interpreted it in their own way applied to each story and life they have led Both contemplate an infinite desert under the shadow of a sea of ​​clouds representing the peace of mind they have achieved by arriving here [armadillo] Beautiful, isn't it? [Rango] Yes... Have I already mentioned that the movie "The Mole" served as inspiration for this movie? No? Well, you know now. The armadillo shows him that there was once a sea of ​​water here. The yuccas walk and show him the way to the truth. An enormous giant pipe that drained this lake until it was dry to redirect all that water to the city of Las Vegas. This is what the mayor saw, he was fooled by this vision of progress because a turtle that can no longer walk in a world of cowboys is no one, just a cripple. The plants reveal to Rango the valve that the mayor and his men opened and closed every Wednesday to provide water to the town Until they have decided not to open it anymore [armadillo] And now what, "amigo"? [Rank] I'm going back [armadillo] But why? [Rango] Because that's who I am Absolute CINEMA Deeds make the man and Rango knows who he is because he knows what he has to do [chameleon] But I can't go back [Spirit of the West] Don't know you had a choice He visits the moles and convinces them to help him rescue the thieves Rango returns along the same path he left the town symbolizing his return from the dead and picks up his old badge Jake is about to suffocate Beans [Beans] Go to hell [Viper Jake] Where do you think I come from? But our hero appears in an epic way [bald] El Macho! Snake Jake shakes his tail because that's how rattlesnakes warn possible predators that if they keep getting closer they will attack. He doesn't stand on the trapdoor, which makes Rango hesitate. The snake shoots the crow and it stands. Rango floods the aquifer that was under the city and the town is once again overflowing with water The bats pretend to be the hawk with an aerial formation to fool Jake A trick similar to the one they used in "Bugs" to scare the grasshoppers Jake is scared because he doesn't know that the falcon is dead Well the mayor hasn't told him anything to keep him under control But he soon realizes the deception, although the real plan was to leave him without ammunition Rango draws and aimsat him with the only bullet he has left [Rango] It only takes one bullet [Jake Viper] You ain't got the nerve Jake doesn't believe him, it's not until he looks him straight in the eyes that he knows that Rango is totally serious [Rango] Try me Jake for the first time feels the terror that Rango instills and finally sees the killer who the first time was not able to [Jake Viper] Pull the trigger. I don't see it Rango is no longer a coward, he is a man who does not fear death who has already been on the other side By the way the: [Jake Viper] You ain't got the nerve [Rango] Try me It's from the movie " Johnny Guitar" from '54 [woman] You don't have the nerve [other woman] Try me The mayor locks Rango and Beans in the bank's water chamber But Rango kept the remaining bullet in the gun and hides it to enter the bank. and now the mayor is pointing at Viper Jake with an empty gun Beans kisses Rango and swallows the bullet while she has one of his absence episodes In fact we can see the exact moment in which the bullet passes from Rango's mouth to Beans Rango performs the Heimlich maneuver on her and she spits out the bullet, hitting the glass, breaking it. Look how the mayor panics and doesn't even know which button on the chair to activate. Everyone is dragged by the current outside and the mayor ends up face up defenseless, unable to turn around because of his shell God the detail of the wet clothes on the characters is brutal The bullet is from a Colt 45, the weapon that Rango carries and it was the most used revolver in the Wild West The reflection of this in the water, dazzles Jake so that he can see it [Jake Viper] One bullet... and shows him his respect [Jake Viper] One legend to another Viber Jake drags the mayor to the very hell from which he comes, because he always takes a soul The water has returned to the town, the happy ending... [mariachi] Although he is certain to die... That Rango didn't die in the end, screwed up their song And that's how it ends... [mariachis] Rango I love Rango It's a terribly ugly movie, but above all it's a very brave movie A masterpiece that knows how to be pretty and delicate at the same time Its message is direct and deep in the heart of anyone who sees it. Because who hasn't asked themselves at some point in their life "Who am I?" "What is my purpose in life?" or "Where am I going?" Rango could be any of us at any time in your life. Everyone tells you that you must choose a path to be someone and you feel that constant pressure of: What the hell am I going to do with my life? You don't know who the hell you want to be because you simply don't know who you are Everyone judges you without knowing you and many times we have to play roles that we don't even want to fit in or try to be someone we're not in front of others But the reality is that no one knows really what you are, not even they know who they are and in that identity crisis, of not knowing which direction to take in life, we are alone in a fish tank. We are all Rango Rango ends up so lost in his life to the point of wanting to end everything He sees no meaning in anything nor has he found a purpose. He has only discovered that deep down he is nobody. He decides to go on the road because he doesn't care. He is tired of that sadness that he has tried to disguise at all times with other roles and that is eating him from inside since the movie started He just wants to get hit by any of those cars with only one thought in his head: "soon it will all be over" He even takes a few last minutes to say goodbye to Mr. Tims and the doll He is aware of what he is about to do even if it is not worth continuing to live he manages to cross to the other side of the road and remains alive to continue It is illustrated how just after being at his lowest moment is when Rango reaches his greatest fulfillment and development as a character Rango reaches the other side , but we discovered that it is not literally dying but rather that mental clarity that is so difficult to achieve when you are so bad But to which at the same time we are so close Rango is finally at peace with himself, he is able to stop and contemplate the beauty of what surrounds him. [armadillo] Beautiful, isn't it? [Rank] Yes Because the answer was always in the glass of his terrarium The box from which we cannot escape, that story from which we cannot flee That represents all your experiences, your family, your experience, your losses, your story It is who defines you, it doesn't matter where you come from who you are or that you don't have a name You are alive, the most important thing is that you are here and in this moment The true ending of the film is not the answer to the eternal question of: [Rango] Who I am? But that he himself realizes it and answers: And what does it matter? [chameleon] It could be anyone. The movie exposes that happiness is not a permanent state or a goal, but rather a second in time, a moment of calm and ephemeral and fleeting peace in which to simply be a conscious witness of the beauty that surrounds you and those you have around you to enjoy while you still can Not oppose who you are or judge yourself but simply be The importance of learning to be at peace with who we are, because no one is born knowing who they are not even where they are going You are just you and your path, every step you have taken and I only hope that one day we will see each other on the other side (You are not alone) Like and subscribe to get to the other side Many thanks to Joaquín Cosío the voice from Víbora Jake, the Cochiloco for participating in this video I take my hat off [Cochiloco] Hello, I'm the Cochiloco, is that clear?
