Ana:
 
yes, you are right. I only wanted to express my respect and admiration for
Emilio. As I had written, I do not know any other historian who wrote, with
the same enthusiasm, nine volumes on the history of his national cinema. I do
not read Spanish very well, but I can understand that he is an extremely good
writer too.
