CANTINFLAS
About this ebook
Thus Cantinflas, the character created by the illustrious Mexican actor Mario Fortino Alfonso Moreno Reyes, born in Mexico City on August 12, 1911 and died in Ibidem on April 20, 1993 at the age of 81.
Cantinflas' films were a whole montage of moral and ethical, socio-political and civic learning, much needed for a country eager to grow.
This book is not to criticize a genius because those who criticize art are simply not artists, they may be anything else.
Art, above all, is the manifestation of all that one knows how to do best, at the service of the masses and for their benefit, enjoyment and in many cases, learning.
Sometimes power deceives even those who do not have it, and Cantinflas' characters always represent the character of the humble innocence of people who always act with the truth, even in ignorance.
In his movie ''El Analfabeto'', for example, Don Mario Moreno shows his character more synthetic, sharper, more Cantinflas and as we would say in Spanish, more country.
That character that politicians do not like very much because it makes them uncomfortable, because he always tells the truth and asks many questions; that character that today is what is understood by common sense and that is generally lacking in matters that are only seen from the side of politics and the interests that derive from it.
That is why perhaps it can be said without being untrue that Cantinflas was a man ahead of his time, specifically of this time, in which the world needs now more than ever, to really smile.
Thank you for reading these lines.

As I have already said in some of my books, the mind is a quantum computer that processes the reality we perceive; in this sense, humanity as a neurobiological organism is an almost infinite computer that creates the simulated reality that we call ''life'' and that in turn gives meaning to our ''existence''.
