Acrílico y esmalte sobre chapadur - 28x30cm - 25 febrero 2006 -  Serie Personajes

   Cada vez que veo la película Chicago, con   Catherine Zeta-Jones, Renée Zellweger, Richard Gere, John C. Reilly,  Queen Latifah, adaptación del musical creado por Bob Fosse, me fascino además de los temas, la coreografía, la fotografía, con este tema Celofán, que habla de esas personas que no son tenidas en consideración por los demás, que pasan inadvertidas, esas personas tan necesarias, que están ahí y con las que se puede contar cuando se las necesita, el común, el que se pierde en la multitud como uno más. 

   El personajes es interpretado hermosamente por John C Reilly, que hace de Amos, de alguien a que nadie ve, y del que nadie siquiera recuerda bien como se llama. 

    

    Hace tiempo, cuando comenzaba la serie Personajes, una de mis manchitas, la que  se ve al inicio de este comentario, corresponde al Señor Celofán. 

 En YouTube  se puede ver el video con la interpretación de Mr. Cellophane, en el musical Chicago

♪ ♫ If someone stood up in a crowd

And raised his voice up way out loud

And waved his arm

And shook his leg

You'd notice him

If someone in a movie show

Yelled "fired in the second row,

This whole place is a powder keg!"

You'd notice him

And even without clucking like a hen

Everyone gets noticed, now and then,

Unless, of course, that personage should be

Invisible, inconsequential me!

Cellophane

Mister cellophane

Should have been my name !!!!

Mister cellophane

'cause you can look right through me

Walk right by me

And never know I'm there!

I tell ya

Cellophane

Mister cellophane

Should have been my name

Mister cellophane

'cause you can look right through me walk right by me

And never know I'm there. . .

Suppose you was a little cat

Residin' in a person's flat

Who fed you fish and scratched your ears?

You'd notice him

Suppose you was a woman wed

And sleepin' in a double bed beside one man for seven years

You'd notice him

A human being's made of more than air

With all that bulk, you're bound to see him there

Unless that human bein' next to you

Is unimpressive, undistinguished

You know who. . .

Should have been my name

Mister cellophane

'cause you can look right through me

Walk right by me

And never know I'm there

I tell ya

Cellophane

Mister cellophane

Should have been my name

Mister cellophane

'cause you can look right through me

Walk right by me

And never know I'm there

Never even know I'm there ♫♫
