Comments by "christine paris" (@christineparis5607) on "Joaquin Murrieta: The Real Zorro" video.

I've heard of him all my life, growing up in California and my mother grew up in Chinese Camp in the Sierra Madres in the 1930s. The legend of Murrieta lives on there...there are so many stories about him everywhere... It's hard to believe they even survived the harsh weather, animals and other bandits who were all over the place...

@artmarquez9140 I agree. The trauma that made him cynical and angry. There is a famous qoute that goes, "Whoever fights monsters should see to it that he does not become a monster. For if you gaze long enough into the abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you". This chilling truth brought to you by Friedrich Nietzsche (Making people depressed with unpleasant truths since since 1873)!!

Why would anyone "get mad" if batman is Mexican? So what if he was or not...

It seems that every culture has a "Robinhood" legend, based on a true person.

@88Gibson LesPaul Guy Williams did play Zorro for 2 seasons. For him, it was the role of a lifetime. It was so popular in Argentina that they completely identified Guy as a real Zorro! He was so thrilled by their country and welcoming attitude, that he moved there for the rest of his life. He was 6'3", very handsome and nice. He fit as Zorro perfectly.

Did you ever study fencing? I admit that I had a big crush on Antonio Banderas as Zorro when the movie came out. Later on, I saw a silent film on TCM of Zorro, with the great Douglas Fairbanks playing Zorro. In spite of the fact that it was silent, he was great in it, and did all his own stunts, which were dangerous and very scary! Look it up on utube to see a clip.

blackzed Believe me, there were the same amount of cowards back then, if that's what you mean by "snowflakes". I know everything always thinks that everyone in their generation is weak and miserable, etc., but it's just your perception. The French have a great saying, "plus ca change, plus ces't la meme chose". which means," the more things change, the more they stay the same". 4000 years ago archeologists found graffiti on an excavated villa that complained how young people were horrible in this "modern" time. Nothing in human history is new. The whole snowflake thing is just a recent description to describe people you don't like because you don't agree with them, that's all. Btw, I'm not supporting or decrying either, I don't care what people are...

Guy Williams (real name:Armando Joseph Catalano) played Zorro for Disney in 1957/58 and was extremely popular. The show only ran a couple of seasons in spite of its popularity because of a dispute Disney was having at the time with the networks over ownership...Argentina went cuckoo for Zorro and when he and his wife went there he was treated like a combination of Mick Jagger and Jesus. He liked it so much he moved there eventually, dying in the 1980s from a brain tumor (I think).

blackzed I don't feel upset, but thank you for your concern! 🤩

@paulmanson253 Yes!! It was a history told to us in 1st grade by a very old teacher. She was in her 60s in 1967. Can you imagine the changes she saw in California? She skipped all the baby stuff and taught us how to speak Spanish (because California was part of Spain once), about Ishi, John Muir, etc,. Muir was probably her next door neighbor! I don't know why she was still teaching, or teaching 1st graders, but she carried the whole history of early America in her head. I often think about her and wished I'd known what she had seen.

@paulmanson253 You described it so well. I grew up in Palo Alto, California, BEFORE it turned into tech city. Our house a very small, on a tiny lot. I looked it up a couple of years ago, on Zillow, and that tiny, crappy house was selling for 5 million!! I almost had a heart attack! I wouldn't want to move back there, but I don't think I could even afford to stay there on vacation now, its unreal. I remember seeing Neil walk on the moon, in real time. I'll never forget the look on my parents faces, it was like they were watching the parting if the red sea or something, just completely awed.

@paulmanson253 Thank you for sharing that! The guide not believing the coin in the lava only 20 years later, shows how quickly historical events are lost! I'm so fascinated by this, because we are in a time where we have every single thing documented, and the overwhelming response to this, psychologically, is that many people will refuse to believe the information, and create their own history, their version of it. And that's not even taking into account the inevitable falsifying of much information! 150 years ago, not many people (compared to today) could read or write. We are living in such accelerated times, its incredible. From my birth in 1961, to now, the whole world is a completely different place. I feel like I'm forever on the edge of my chair, waiting to see what happens next! Good or bad, it's not boring!!
