REAPARICION DE LA ISLA MISTERIOSA
Reaparicion de Ia Isla Misteriasa ha sido inspirada por Un recuerdo de Ia infancia. Se trata de Ia visi6n de una secuencia de Ia versi6n cinematogr6fica de Ia novela de Julio Verne. Esta secuencia mostraba a Un polio gigante atacando en una playa a algunos de los principales protagonistas de Ia pelicula, y c6mo el "heroe" les salvaba causando Ia muerte del monstruo.Esta visi6n se produjo cuando yo era Un nino y viva en Un pequeno pueblo de Ia provincia de Toledo. Vi Ia secuencia mientras contemplaba un televisor a trave's de una ventana, ya que el oparato estaba dentro de un bar y en aquel periodo (anos sesenta) les estaba prohibida Ia entrada a los ninos en tales lugares.
Es muy probable que el recuerdo insistente de esta visi6n determinase mi particular y emocional gusto por las Ilamadas peliculas de serie B que proliferaron en los anos cincuenta en Norteamenca e Inglaterra, peliculas hacia las cuales profeso una gran devoci6n y a las que Reaparicion de Ia Isla Misteriosa es tombien un tributo.

Note: Translation of the above, is approximate, and incomplete...
The Reappearance of the Mysterious Island has been inspired by a memory of childhood. Visions of a sequence of cinematografica as a version of the novel of Jules Verne. This sequence showed a giant octopus attacking on a beach some of the main protagonists of Ia pelicula, and saved by the Hero who kills the monster.
This vision took place when I was a child and lived in a small town in a province in Toledo. I saw a sequence that I contemplated on a television set through a window, since the set was within a bar and in that period (the 60's) the entrance of children was prohibited in such places.
It is very probable that the insistent memory of this vision determined my individual and emotional taste by the Ilamadas peliculas of B films that proliferated in the 50's in North America and England, peliculas towards which I profess great devotion and to which Reappearance of the Mysterious Island is therefore a tribute.
