151. "Macario."

Sat Jan 9, 2016, 10:02 AM

Jan 2016

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macario_(film)

The last scenes begin at twilight on the day that Macario shared the turkey with Death. He has not come home, and his wife and some villagers are looking for Macario out in the woods only to find him peacefully dead, next to a turkey divided in halves: one of which is eaten, the other being intact, as if he died not fulfilling his dream of eating a complete turkey for himself.
