Listen up, Hollywood Producers: your writers are striking, your comic book movies are tanking, and your minds are so disconnected from reality you wouldn't know a good movie idea if it blogged up and bit you on the ass. So heed my words:
MAKE A MOVIE ABOUT THIS GUY.
While Spider-Man was busy undergoing intense self-reflection, Batman was failing to let go of any goddamned bad thing that ever happened to him, and Superman was being charmingly aloof, this guy was
saving an orphan from dying in the desert. The kicker? He was an illegal immigrant attempting to cross the border!
Jesus Cordova left his homeland and braved the merciless desert in order to earn money to send back to his family, came upon a 9-year-old boy whoâd been involved in a car wreck, and rather than fleeing north as heâd planned, John McClaned it, gruffly muttered âIâm getting too old for thisâ (in Spanish, one assumes) and proceeded to keep the kid company and
give him his fucking jacket until Border Patrol arrived to save the boy and deport his ass back to Mexico.
The movieâs basically done: youâve got your selfless heroism, your innocent victim, and your tragic downfall. All you need to add is the uplifting finale where Cordova strides across the U.S.-Mexico border, each Patrol officer stepping aside in quiet respect.
Also, if this does get made into a movie (preferably starring Javier Bardem and Dakota Fanning), I get royalties. I called it.
