BULLFIGHTING (Part 2)

Jack and Alex are discussing about bullfighting and it's clear that Jacks dislikes "blood sports". He says that bullfighting can’t be considered an art.

Alex asks him to relax and explains that it is difficult for non-Spaniards to understand the fascination of bullfighting. He insists that giving the idea a chance wouldn’t hurt Jack.

Jack replies that it won’t be easy to convince him, but he's willing to listen to what Alex has got to say. Alex explains that bullfighting involves the celebration of the eternal drama of life and death and the dramatizing courage in the face of danger.

Once again Jack expresses that drawing blood and taking life are high price to pay for that. And when Alex asks him if he has seen a bullfight before, Jack answers he hasn't, but he still has a right to have an opinion.

VIDEO TRANSCRIPTION

JACK:

Bullfighting can’t be considered an art; it’s only a sport, and a “blood sport” at that.

ALEX:

Take it easy, Jack. Understanding the fascination of bullfighting is difficult for non-Spaniards, but giving the idea a chance wouldn’t hurt you.

JACK:

Convincing me won’t be easy, but I’m willing to listen to what you’ve got to say, Alex.

ALEX:

Celebrating the eternal drama of life and death and dramatizing courage in the face of danger are part of what it’s all about.

JACK:

Drawing blood and taking life are high price to pay for that, if you ask me.

ALEX:

You’ve never seen a bullfight, have you, Jack?

JACK:

No, but having an opinion is still my right.
