Magdalena del Mar

Near Darío's house, there were 3 movie theaters: Broadway, Brazil, and a smaller one, the Gardel, dedicated to Mexican films. Mornings and matinees were fabulous for Darío, he first bought sweets or popcorn, the preparation of which was done in an attractive newly installed machine that allowed him to see how the popcorn came out of a container forcing a mobile lid, leaving an exquisite smell. Now settled in an armchair, he waited impatiently, like all the children in the room, for the lights to go out. A great emotion filled him when the darkness began and oh surprise ... the most beautiful drawings came out as previous shorts, the whole room screamed and jumped for joy when Daffy Duck, Tom and Jerry, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and others appeared. dear characters, how wonderful, it was paradise for Darío and all the children. In theaters, sometimes, they presented adventure films by chapters, on Monday from 1 to 5, on Tuesday from 6 to 10 etc. It always turned out at the end of a session that the good guy, who was called the young man, was at risk of death, which forced him to attend the next show to see what happened, the result was that he was always saved. The best for Darío was when movies of Flash Gordon, the werewolf, Frankenstein against the werewolf, Dracula etc. After watching these movies, when he was already starting to get dark, he walked back home with fear along the track and not along the sidewalk, because he thought that he could come out between the trees or a house, the werewolf or another monster. At night, at home he did not sleep and every shadow in the bedroom window scared him. In another era, there were also many beautiful films about episodes of the Second World War that he had just finished in 1945, since they were the years 1946, 1947, 1948 or a little more. He enthusiastically watched movies of the war between the United States and Japan, such as those titled: Okinawa, Iwo Jima, Midway, Bataan, Guadalcanal and others referring to real battles that occurred in the Pacific War, which meant triumphs for the United States. In these films, the American soldiers were always well dressed and coiffed, even if they fell to the ground, while the Japanese soldiers appeared in shabby clothes and a deteriorated presence. Constantly the movie projector stopped, which generated the boisterous claim of all the children and young people who attended. The origin of these failures was because the equipment broke down or because the roll of film that was used in several cinemas in shifts did not arrive, and that it was transported by a motorcyclist at full speed.

48.Bellavista

Tuesday, October 22, 2019 The Bellavista Cinema and the evident destruction of the cultural heritage of a Chalaco district. Regarding the imminent demolition of the emblematic Bellavista Cinema building in the coming days, it is sad to remember with nostalgia the cinema that many generations of Chalacos enjoyed. Remember the movies or perhaps its characteristic "art deco" façade, a style as North American as the films that were shown there. Unfortunately, the Municipality of Bellavista did not know how to properly use this abandoned building for years and it could be considered as the district's heritage, as it is the first and only one in the area, as well as being part of the identity of its inhabitants. Talk about everything that could have been done, about the demands on social networks of some Bellavista neighbors about its abandonment or destruction. All that is superfluous before its eminent destruction. The Bellavista Cinema is part of the Plaza of the same name and which has been mimicked with this area, which was altered by tall buildings in which there were no criteria for its construction since the Plaza has historical antecedents. Previous authorities are guilty of its deterioration, as well as the current one that continues to steal its identity and historical memory from the district.
