Alejandro Gonzáñez Iñárritu

From wfm radio to hollywood

Iñárritu

Remember the Golden era and how it was born.(article 1, Luis)

Crossing the Atlantic and working on a freighter, first at 17 and then at 19, González Iñárritu worked in Europe and Africa in two different periods of his life. He attributes to these experiences the greatest influence in his work. Alejandro calls himself a "street kid" of Mexico but says a crucial moment in his life was when at 16 and 18 he left school to take trips in cargo ships. "I stayed in Europe for one year with $1,000, working everywhere I could, doing everything. Those years shaped me a lot and taught me the value of exploring different things," he told The Onion A.V. Club in an interview. His films have been placed in the places where he traveled. An example of this, was how his trip to Morocco, which he says is the most shocking experience, inspired him in some Babel´s scenes.

After his travels, the filmmaker returned specifically to Mexico City and entered the Universidad Iberoamericana, in 1985, González Iñárritu began his career at the Mexican radio station WFM and two years later he left aside the communication career to devote himself fully to practice. Even though he was not the principal locutor, his influence in the program increased once the audience claimed his name.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GsmWCtVOAc

In 1987, he became the director of this rock and electronic music station. Over the next five years, the filmmaker interviews world rock stars and broadcasts live rock concerts via satellite. For five consecutive years, WFM becomes the number one station in Mexico City.

The magic of the boom of the audience and popularity of the WFM 96.9 was how Iñárritu and Martin Delgado, in collaboration with “El burro” Van Rankin and Esteban Arce, mixed interest topics with humor, concerts and even jokes. Something that the Radio’s industry had never saw.

Iñárritu is not only a person but also a motivation

Frases: 1. "En mi carrera me he vuelto un experto en pasar, en un segundo y sin haber hecho nada, de ser un exitoso nominado a un perdedor".

2. “Cualquiera puede hacer una película, pero lograr una buena es abrir una guerra a muerte, principalmente contigo mismo. Por eso me da miedo cada vez que voy a empezar una, porque no la suelto”.

3. “Salgo de mí mismo, soy una flor extraña”- Referencia a que ninguno de sus familiares había trabajado en el cine.

4. "En un mundo donde la ironía reina, donde hay que separarse, protegerse y reírse de cualquier cosa que sea honesta o tenga una carga emocional, yo apuesto por la catarsis. Me gusta invertir emocionalmente en las cosas. Y la catarsis, cuando toca la vena emocional, tiene la posibilidad de abrir las puertas incluso de quienes se protegen".

6. “La inteligencia puede definirse como la posibilidad de poseer dos ideas opuestas simultáneamente y tener la capacidad de operar. Yo soy dos piernas con una contradicción constante cuyo resultado es mi obra”.
