Aquella experiencia traumatica todavía vive al fondo de su cabeza, y volvió ahablar de ella el lunes, después del partido. “Es un momento que estaráconmigo para siempre. Pero estoy tan agradecido de tener el apoyo de todo elcuerpo técnico, no solo aquí el de Gareth, sino también en el Arsenal. Y demis amigos, mi familia. Todos me arroparon y me ayudaron a volver a estarbien. Me da mucha confianza para creer en mi mismo”, dijo.

La reconstrucción de esa fe para volver a competir al máximo nivel sin lacarga de un trastazo considerado histórico en su país comenzó en su club. Elsábado pasado, en el campamento de la selección inglesa al sur de Doha, sucompañero en el Arsenal, el portero Aaron Ramsdale, aportó algún detalle decomo se había contemplado ese proceso desde dentro: “Lo manejó de una maneraimpecable”, dijo . “No hay duda de que ahora tiene un carácter más fuerte,aquello le ha hecho una persona más completa”.

Ni por un momento usó el batacazo como excusa. “No olviden que el año pasadotuvo sobre él toda la presión del club. Él y Emile Smith Rowe eran nuestrosjugadores principales. Y lidió con eso, como ha lidiado con todo lo demás”,explicó Ramsdale. No solo aguantó la presión. Asumió como propia laresponsabilidad de impulsar al equipo, con solo 20 años. Como recordó elportero, cuando el Arsenal terminó quinto en la Premier League y no consiguióclasificarse para la Champions, se culpó: “Sintió que había sido todo por suculpa, porque no había podido darnos más”. Marco 11 goles y dio sieteasistencias.

La Pulga tiene la excusa de que no se entera de nada: otras personas manejansu destino. Sin embargo, esta versión del genio como títere contrasta con loque de él dicen sus amigos y con lo que puede ser visto en documentales. Antesde la final de Argentina versus Brasil, en la pasada Copa América, Scalonitomó una decisión muy suya: se alejó del vestidor y dejó que el 10 lanzara laarenga. Messi no alcanzó la retórica que le atribuimos a tu tocayo San Martín,pero habló con intensidad de los 45 días lejos de las familias, las esperanzastruncas (la suya era la peor: cuatro finales perdidas antes de ésa), lailusión de revertir el destino. Di María es de lágrima fácil, pero hasta elPapu Gómez se conmovió con el discurso. Alguien que habla de ese modo no puedeignorar que existen los impuestos; tampoco, que en Arabia Saudí se degüellasin otro recurso judicial que las corazonadas de un príncipe.

It is one of the most anticipated movies of 2022: Guillermo del Toro ‘sPinocchio. A dark stop motion version of Carlo Collodi’s ambiguous fableabout a puppet whose nose sometimes grows when he lies. The Disneyinterpretation is famous, but the Mexican director gives it his own twist andmoves the story to Italy during the rise of dictator Mussolini. That isreminiscent of his Oscar-winning Pan ‘s Labyrinth (2006), which combinedSpain’s fascist history with fairy tale elements.

Del Toro and co-director Mark Gustafson ( Fantastic Mr. Fox ) get the mostout of stop motion, the technique where real puppets move a little bit eachframe. Sets are not smoothed out like in computer animation, the movingfigures are beautiful and uncanny at the same time. Del Toro’s Pinocchio isnot cuddly, but has spindly limbs and protruding nails. And there arewonderfully gruesome monsters, such as the man-devouring whale or theburrowing rabbits in the regularly visited purgatory.

It took the Mexican director decades to convince financiers to put their moneyinto his animation. It seems as if during that period the ideas, associationsand metaphors in the script piled up. The original fairy tale is alreadyepisodic: it appeared as a serial in a children’s magazine. Del Toro’s filmgoes one step further in terms of plot twists. For example, the film openswith a long prologue about Pinocchio’s father Gepetto, in which themes emergethat recur later, such as the life-destroying effect of war and the way inwhich church and state force people to conform.

Childish slapstick

Woodworker Gepetto is an acclaimed model citizen until his son Carlo dies inan unfortunate bombing raid on the church where they are working together on acrucifix during WWI. The grieving father loses himself in alcohol until aforest fairy revives the puppet he intoxicated made: Pinocchio.

Unlike Gepetto’s earlier son, this ‘replacement’ has little desire to listenwell and allows himself to be seduced by circus director Volpe, who promiseshim candy and fame. Meanwhile, fascism is becoming more and more present. Thatleads to childlike slapstick, like an encounter with a puppet version of IlDuce. But also to original variations on Collodi’s story. For example, the’lazy land’ where Pinocchio turns into a donkey here is a fascist youth camp.

Sometimes Del Toro could have chosen sharper. The tone of his _Pinocchio_varies a lot at times: vocal numbers for a much younger audience are out oftune with the rest of the film. And towards the end, so many plot twists arerushed through that the surprising, emotional ending about the meaning ofPinocchio’s life choices and the transience of earthly existence just fallsshort of the chord it seems to be aiming for.

A British actress was forced to wear deceased people’s clothing while livingin a care facility after her friend and costume designer stole thousands ofdollars from her, a judge determined.

Margaret Wright, also known as Meg Wynn Owen, appeared in Love Actually,Doctor Who, and Pride & Prejudice. The actress, who died this past summer,suffered from dementia in her later years and moved into a care home inCardiff, Wales, in 2015. The move came months after Brian Malam, 60, was namedher power of attorney due to her mental state, according to Wales Online.

During the sentence proceedings against Malam, who had already entered aguilty plea for fraud, prosecutor Abigail Jackson alleged he stopped visitingWright and began stealing tens of thousands of pounds from her savingsaccount. Jackson claimed Malam withdrew cash and moved money from Wright’saccount to his own while acting as her power of attorney, Wales Onlinereported.

In the role as power of attorney, he was allegedly supposed to transfer moneyfrom Wright’s bank accounts to the care center so employees could buynecessities for the actress. Instead, Malam allegedly only sent a couple ofpayments, leaving Wright without needs such as clothing and a hairdresser.

Because of a lack of funds, employees put Wright in clothes belonging toresidents who had died, and cut her hair, the court was told, per the outlet.

In October 2014, the staff knew something was off with Wright’s finances, sothey took her to her bank to review her statements. Once there, it wasrevealed that Malam had been stealing from her, according to the prosecutor.

According to Wales Online, the Office of the Public Guardian investigated thecase before local police stepped in. Authorities determined Malam took £65,000(more than $78,000) from Wright over four years.

“Mrs. Wright became terribly upset about it. The matter was then reported tothe police in September 2020,” Jackson said during his sentencing, accordingto The Mirror. “That’s how the investigation with the police started and thematter came to light.”

Speaking with police after his arrest, Malam confessed that it took money fromWright to buy items for his work. However, he said he “always intended to payher back,” per The Mirror.

Despite his reason, Judge Paul Hobson told Malam he was in “an importantposition of trust carrying with it a great deal of responsibility. … Theposition was that you were taking money from her bank account in significantfunds and either transferring into your own account or spending it directly,”according to Leading Britain’s Conversation.

“As time went on you simply continued in what you were doing knowing full wellthe money would not be repaid realistically,” Judge Hobson continued, per LBC.

Hobson told Malam, per the outlet, “Your victim had to be dressed in clothesthat belonged to deceased residents of her care home due to insufficientfunds. She was reduced by your actions towards her.”

He was sentenced to two years and eight months in prison, per _The Mirror._He’s set to spend up to half of that time before finishing his sentence viacommunity service.

Malam’s attorney Andrew Davies said in court proceedings that Malam and Wrighthad been friends for years and that Malam was the only one who took care ofWright. He pointed out that Malam didn’t spend her money on “flash cars orluxury holidays” but instead went to fund his costume designing business,Wales Online reported.

He said that Malam suffered from alcoholism and “everything disappeared into amiasma of drink.”

Davies did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

Al Roker, who has made appearances for Today along the iconic parade routefor 27 years, is not at this year’s event because he’s recovering from bloodclots in his leg and lungs that sent him to the hospital earlier this month.

During NBC’s broadcast of the 96th annual parade on Thursday, his fellowmorning show co-hosts sent Roker well wishes.

“For the past 27 parades, at this moment, Savannah, we would turn to Al Roker,who is our Today show colleague and our best pal,” Hoda Kotb said. “But as alot of you have heard, Al’s recovering — he’s recovering very well from arecent medical issue. And we just want to say, we love you Al. Wondering ifyou’re watching, but we wish you a full recovery.”

Savannah Guthrie also shared a heartfelt message with the Today show weatheranchor, before announcing that Today co-host Dylan Dreyer will take hisplace this year.

“We love you, Al. We’ll see you next year,” Guthrie said. “And now, standingin for Al, Ms. Dylan Dreyer from the Today show. She’s positioned uptown atthe parade’s start line. Hi Dylan, good morning!”

Dreyer had some sweet words for her the weather expert. “Good morning guys,and Happy Thanksgiving. Al, we love you, we miss you and we’re thinking aboutyou!”

During the broadcast, Dreyer spoke by phone with President Joe Biden and FirstLady Dr. Jill Biden. Along with wishing first responders and troops a HappyThanksgiving, the president also acknowledged Roker.

“We’re going to give Al a call, too, see how he’s doing,” the President toldDreyer, to which she responded, “Al is doing great.”

On Thursday, Roker shared on his Instagram that he left the hospital. “This ismy version of the Thanksgiving Day Parade — getting ready to leave thehospital!” he said as he walked through the hall. “Time to blow this tacostand. Woohoo!”

He also captioned the post: “So much to be #thankful for on the #thanksgivingday. Leaving the hospital and home for #thanksgivingdinner.”

Once he got home, Roker even tuned into the parade to watch his colleaguesfacilitate the show, posting a selfie in front of the TV. “Back home in timeto catch a little bit of the #macysthanksgivingdayparade,” he wrote. “Missingbeing next to @savannahguthrie and @hodakotb.”

Roker, who has been absent from the NBC morning show for three weeks now, gavean update on his whereabouts on Nov. 18, revealing in an Instagram post thathe’s been receiving medical treatment for blood clots.

“So many of you have been thoughtfully asking where I’ve been,” wrote Roker,68, captioning a photo of a bouquet of flowers. “Last week I was admitted tothe hospital with a blood clot in my leg which sent some clots into my lungs.”

“After some medical whack-a-mole, I am so fortunate to be getting terrificmedical care and on the way to recovery,” he added.

Smoker has been a staple on Today as the program’s premiere weather anchorsince 1996. For years before that, he made appearances as a substitute for thelate Willard Scott.

He was last absent from the show in late September, after testing positive forCOVID-19.

While Roker has been dealing with his health issues, Dreyer has been fillingin for him on Today. She and co-hosts Guthrie, Kotb, Craig Melvin and CarsonDaly spoke about their colleague on Friday’s show.

“He’s in good spirits, we’ve all talked to him,” said Guthrie, 50, with co-anchor Kotb, 58, stressing, “He’s in great spirits.”

An investigation by journalists Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor of The NewYork Times started the MeToo movement five years ago. As a result, filmproducer Harvey Weinstein was sentenced to 23 years in prison in 2020. In SheSaid Zoe Kazan and Carey Mulligan take on the role of the journalists who gettheir teeth into the Weinstein case.

de Volkskrant – four stars

” She Said is the film adaptation of the book of the same name that Twoheyand Kantor wrote about the Weinstein case. It is a calmly told, detailed andyet exciting book – and the same goes for the film. Investigative journalismisn’t easy and takes endless patience, late She Said to see. But whenjustice prevails, the satisfaction is great.”

“The film also remains remarkably close to the facts. That’s nice, in a storythat revolves around finding the truth. What She Said lacks suspense, thedrama more than makes up for it with integrity and quiet, palpable fury.”

AD – four stars

“Film can also function as a time document. She Said , about thejournalistic process that led to the revelation of the Harvey Weinsteinscandal, is not groundbreaking cinema. Perhaps also because the origins of theMeToo movement are still so fresh in our minds. But in twenty years’ time, thefilm would just have the status of classic All the President ‘s Men (1976)about the Watergate affair. If only because of its historical importance.”

“The film is sometimes a bit on the dry side and you see director MariaSchrader struggling to make it all visually interesting. Unnecessary choicesare sometimes made: suddenly introducing flashbacks, for example. Or AshleyJudd, the first actress who was willing to tell her story ‘ on the record’,let yourself play (then make a documentary). Those who occasionally read anewspaper or watch a newsreel will not find much news here.”

“S he Said can be summarized in one image. Halfway through the movie itcomes in like a nightmare. During a seemingly endless montage of semi-identical abandoned hotel corridors, the real recording that model AmbraBattilana Gutierrez made of Harvey Weinstein in 2015 can be heard. She hadfiled a report the day before after the film producer made unwanted sexualadvances, and agreed to a second meeting, tagged by police and protected bynearby undercover officers.”

“Maria Schrader’s film faithfully and thoroughly reconstructs the creation ofthe New York Times research article Harvey Weinstein Paid Off SexualHarassment Accusers for Decades by Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey that waspublished on October 5, 2017 and would eventually lead to Weinstein’s arrest,uncover dozens of other cases, and spark what has come to be called MeToo.Their book She Said (2019) is the basis of the film.”

Loyal – four stars

“Comments like ‘the silence was the worst’, ‘why is sexual assault sowidespread and so taboo?’ and “if this happens to Hollywood actresses, whoelse?” come along in a film that has a businesslike, almost documentary-liketone. It is difficult to discover a dramatic line in it. Still, it is excitingto watch the cleverly written, compact scenes.”

“Will MeToo change anything? Producer of the film Brad Pitt has hadrelationships with women – Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie – since the 1990s -who brought home stories of sexual assault by Weinstein. It didn’t stop Pittfrom working with the man. Maybe he wants to She Said straighten somethingout. Nice, but it’s a little late.”

El más ilustre de sus mayores, Luis Suárez (35 años y máximo goleadorhistórico, con 67 tantos), transitó por el Education City en el más absolutode los silencios y con la sensación de que el momento le superaba. Ancladoarriba para buscar el espacio, no tuvo ninguna huella en toda la tarde y acabórelevado por otro de su par, Edinson Cavani, que tampoco la cazó. Mientras, elmejor de sus jóvenes, Fede Valverde, solo levantó la mano con un zurriagazo desu nuevo cuño en el minuto 89. Acalambrado hacía un rato, soltó un derechazoque terminó en el exterior del palo. Con su país se ubica como un interior másclásico y no orillado a la derecha como en el Madrid, pero su fútbol pesó pocoy tampoco pudo redimirse con un trueno de los suyos. Solo la insistenciaarriba de Darwin Núñez, un guerrillero, con menos años (23) que Suárez y másarmadura, agitó a los sudamericanos. Nadie le pudo reprochar que no insistiraen la faena.

Uruguay demostró pronto que no estaba para manosear mucho el balón. Le va másla colisión, el juego largo y las contras para Suárez y Núñez. Rusticidadllegada del otro lado del océano. Un cuarto de hora tardó en tejer la primeraposesión de verdad, y no llegó a ningún sitio. Otra cosa fue cuando empezar amandar balones campo a través. Ahí sí, sin reparos y punzante durante un tramode la primera parte. Se la puso Godín a Valverde, que rompió por dentro y lamandó arriba a la media vuelta. Seguida, otra desde la defensa haciaPellistri, que prolongó y por una micra no la cazó Darwin Núñez. Y en uncórner la agarró arriba Godín y la estampó en el palo.

Otro pelotazo para Darwin

La lírica que desdeñó Uruguay es toda a la que aspiró Corea del Sur, un equipocon hechuras, que le gusta tocar. Le faltaese Punch , un pecado muyasiático, pero el peloteo lo domina ya Uruguay tampoco le importaba ese plande partido. En el medio tenen a un mediocentro, Hwang In-beom, que seguro quehabrá visto muchos partidos de España. Por la derecha percute Na Sangho y porla izquierda cuenta con su mejor elemento, el spur Son, que apareció con unamáscara por una fractura en la cuenca del ojo izquierdo y que no entró encalor hasta la segunda parte. Los orientales solo tuvieron una hasta eldescanso, pero fue muy clara: con el portero Rochet bastante vendido, eldelantero Ui-jo Hwang la envió arriba.

La segunda mitad se agitó, como no, con otro pelotazo charrúa. Darwin Núñezrecibió en la izquierda, rompió a su defensor por pura fuerza, ganó la líneade fondo y el portero Kim Seoung Gyu se la sacó. Había pasado un cuarto dehora después de la pausa y la jugada empezó a inclinar el campo hacia el ladouruguayo. Con Betancour y Vecino como acompanantes de Valverde en el medio, elfútbol no era muy fluido. Se trató más de fuerza y ​​sentido de la obligación,no cabía otra. Lo intentó Darwin con un disparo cruzado que no encontró puertay tampoco la cabeza del asilvestrado Cavani.
