Where To Find Mutoscope

In Death Of Brother Mino

met Mino Reitano many years ago.
was the early 80's, and his age, 60 and 70, so different from this decade, had just finished. He was already in the cool nostalgic thirty-somethings at the time. But I was almost twenty years before, a teenager, I was humming a duet with my mother ironed 'A guitar one hundred illusions'. And so the
ricodavo perfectly, although he had been forgotten by the television that began in those years to ramp. The two
kid who were with me could not remember, in fact, or rather they did not have in mind the character as a good friend happy and always available: a companion and even a little naive dimwitted, he would have said. That was the impression that aroused, Mino, in this Television has since become a horror immmondizia and where it was wanted to come back or had left lead to starvation or not to give in to oblivion.
We met him at a service station, near Rimini.
was the 81 ... I nineteen year old kid and the two 15 year olds ...
I recognized him. He sat at a table on the sidelines. He was alone and ate quietly. Surprised and enthusiastic crowds called him a strong name. People looked at me and greeted him with his hand. And he looked at me smiled, a smile 'strong', and he got his arm, shaking it loud ...
'Children' I cried to the two kid. 'That's Minor Threat!
"But do not say stupid things, 'said one of the kid and laughing away.
' E ' him, and he does not recognize it?!? '
I do not even feel.
No they could not recognize him. For years, the Screen God did not appear. No longer recognized him, except for some forty-fifty years old at the time that passed in the service station.
Some smiled, others said 'yes, it looks like him', and turned from the freight and bar ....
I only went to him and sat him in front, without even asking if I could sit down because he had mentioned to me avvicninarmi, that enthusiasm with a little baby.
'EU, sit down,' he said with that big smile full of teeth.
talked. While he ate tortellini (the two kid had already outside, eager to share) and answered my questions breathless ... going to a village in the Marche in a Sarata. What struck me was his question:
'I recognized you immediately, right?', Jet Li, and the other between a joke.
'Yes' I said.
'How old are you' 'Nineteen'
Rise once more, Mino ...
I was a boy but I recognized him.
already feared that those 80 years would be a tragedy. Pure
for him.
