Antonio Bolivar Salvador (Tiapuyama to his tribe), actor and storyteller, died of covid-19 on April 30th, aged 75
演員兼故事講述者安東尼奧·玻利瓦爾·薩爾瓦多(他的部落叫他“剃阿普押瑪”)于4月30日因新冠肺炎去世，享年75歲。
WHEN HE SPOKE of Jaguar, lord of the forest, the embodiment of power, strength and violence, Antonio Bolivar would begin to growl deep in his throat. His head would move up and down, around, warily, as if he was on the prowl himself and hunting was his being. When he mentioned Anaconda, the great snake, god of the Amazon and of all water, his hands would slither, swim and twine around each other, getting faster, until-still smiling his tender penetrating smile-he might leap from his chair and fling his snake-arms round whoever was listening to him.
當安東尼奧·玻利瓦爾提到森林之王美洲虎，權力、力量和暴力的化身時，安東尼奧·玻利瓦爾就會開始發(fā)出內(nèi)心深處的咆哮之聲。他的頭會小心翼翼地環(huán)顧四周，就好像是他自己在出動狩獵，打獵是他的天性。當他提到巨大的水蟒，亞馬遜河和所有水源之神時，他的手會滑行，游動并纏繞在一起，接著速度越來越快，直到-他還在保持著溫柔而銳利的微笑-從椅子上一躍而起，用他那蛇形的胳膊纏繞住正在聽他說話的人。
The gesture Was a vivid reminder of the film that had made him famous, Ciro Guerra's "The Embrace of the Serpent". In 2016 it was nominated for an Academy Award for best foreign film, the first Colombian film to be so honoured, and he found himself in Hollywood, not in a loincloth on the red carpet (he had been warned not to), but in a feather headdress with his smart blue suit, and embraced by cate Blanchett, who towered over him. He was glad then that he had not turned his friend Ciro down. He had refused to take the role at first because he bad been tricked before, when he and some other indigenous actors had not been paid for their work; you could geld a cat once, but not twice.
這個姿態(tài)生動地展示了使他成名的電影，希羅·蓋拉的《蛇之擁抱》。2016年，它被提名為奧斯卡最佳外語片，這是首部獲此殊榮的哥倫比亞電影。而且他還去了好萊塢，沒有纏著腰布出現(xiàn)在紅毯上（有人提醒他不要纏腰布），他頭戴羽毛頭飾，身穿漂亮的藍色西裝，和高大的凱特·布蘭切特擁抱。他很高興沒有拒絕他的朋友希羅。他起初拒絕接受這個角色，因為他以前被騙過，那時他和其他幾個土著演員沒有拿到拍戲的薪水，人們可能會上一次鉤，但不會有第二次。
Ciro had promised him what he wanted, serious respect. His part in the film had been that of Old Karamakate, a shaman guiding a white explorer, Evan, in his search through the Amazon rainforest for the magic yakruna flower. As a young man he had guided another white explorer, 4o years earlier, on the same quest. Both journeys displayed how the forest Was being defiled and colonised by outsiders: rubber-seekers who bled the trees and massacred the tribes, crazed religious sects.
希羅給了他想要的東西，極大的尊重。他在電影中的角色是老卡拉馬凱，一個指引白人探險家埃文的薩滿，伊萬在亞馬遜雨林中尋找神奇的牦牛花。40年前，年輕時的他也曾指引過另外一個白人探險家，也是為尋找牦牛花。這兩段旅程都展示了森林是如何被外來者污染和殖民的：這些人包括橡膠商，他們砍伐橡膠樹，屠殺部落，還有狂熱的教派團體。
