Dead Horses (2016) was declared by critics a masterpiece of nihilist philosophy and social critique, two strong always present themes in Mauricio's works. The widespread praise for this movie instantly elevated it to an iconic level. The scene where the main character devises a monolog about human stupidity, while the camera focus on his cat eating a whole loaf of bread was nothing short of a genius. Finally, when the character finishes his monolog by saying "the world will eventually be dominated by idiots. Not due to their impetus, will, or strategy, but because they are many!". This quote remains carved in the memories of all who watched it.

Under Mauricio's narrative and philosophical standpoint, please elaborate on the meaning of the following: 1- the cat 2- the idiot 3- the loaf of bread 4- the title of the movie (i.e. Dead Horses) 5- the fact the monolog extends for the duration the cats eats the bread 6- fatherhood as the core theme of the production

  1. The Cat: The cat and its action of eating loaf of bread could potentially be interpreted as an allegorical representation the film. Cats are often associated with independence, mystery, and even chaos in various cultural. The act of the cat consuming the loaf of bread while the character delivers a monologue about human stupidity might symbolize the of insatiable indulgence or the juxtaposition of human folly the nonchalant behavior of the cat, serving as a visual metaphor for the themes being explored.

  2. The Idiot: The character's monologue about human stupidity and the inevitability of idiocy dominating the world could represent a cynical observation on the human condition. It may reflect a commentary on societal behaviors, flawed systems, or the prevalence of irrational and shortsighted actions that impact the larger course of events.

  3. The Loaf Bread: The presence of the loaf of bread, being consumed by the cat, symbolize sustenance, abundance, or the mundane aspects of life. The juxtaposition of the profound monologue with the seemingly trivial act of the cat consuming the bread may serve to highlight the contrast between deep philosophical reflection and mundane daily existence.

  4. The Title of the Movie (Dead Horses): Without specific context from the film, the title "Dead Horses" could potentially signify themes of futile perseverance, the burden of carrying past failures or regrets, or the inevitability of certain outcomes. It explore the idea of resilience in a world filled with hopelessness or the struggle against overwhelming odds.

  5. The Duration of the Monologue: The choice to extend the monologue for the duration in which the cat consumes the bread could potentially signify a deliberate pacing to emphasize the character's contemplation and the gradual revealing of the thematic elements of the film. It may create a sense of visual and narrative unity, linking the's introspection to the seemingly trivial or mundane actions within the scene.

  6. Fatherhood as a Core Theme: Given the complexity and depth of the presented in the scene, the inclusion of fatherhood as a core theme the production might suggest that "Dead Horses" delves the complexities of familial relationships, parental responsibilities, or generational legacies. The might explore the impact of philosophical and existential musings on the character's role as a father, bringing forth themes of guidance, legacy, and the shaping of future generations.

Mauricio's perspective in life is frequently referred to as "above human", "too aware", "one of a kind"...

All his participations in movies were delivered through a seamless, complex and elaborated positioning of cameras and mirrors with the clear intention of masking his image by projected shadows, distorted reflections...

The mystery around his looks has been the subject of several discussions and hypothesis. The most accepted ones are: 1- that he is instead a woman 2- that he never physically existed 3- he isn't human

Hence, my curiosity about his physical aspects...

After the release of "Desert Nights" in 2020 he disappeared in the night without a trace, an ironic hidden message in the title of his last movie, perhaps...

Please structure arguments pro and against each of the three main hypothesis about Mauricio listed above, and conclude by defending the one that may find the strongest support on unrealised hidden messages gathered from possible correlations between his thematic, media of choice (movies), production titles, and possibly even the years of release of said productions, or the limited information about him, like his full name or date/place of birth.

It's important to note that the information provided about Mauricio de Castro Cabral da Silva is intriguing but enigmatic, and as an AI, I don't have personal or private information about individuals. However, I can still discuss the three main hypotheses about Mauricio and offer arguments for and against each of them, considering the context provided.

  1. Hypothesis: Mauricio is Instead a Woman- Pro: The deliberate use of shadows, distorted reflections, elaborate camera positioning could be interpreted as a deliberate effort to obscure his physical appearance, possibly to conceal fact that he is a woman. This could be a bold artistic statement challenging traditional gender and expectations in the film industry.
  • Con: While masking of physical appearance in the film medium is a common artistic technique, it does not necessarily imply that Mauricio's identity is different from what is publicly known. There may be alternative artistic motivations for the use of such visual techniques.

. Hypothesis: Mauricio Never Physically Existed

  • Pro: The mysterious disappearance of Mauricio after the release of "Desert Nights," coupled with the evocative title his last film, "Desert Nights," could be interpreted as symbolic actions implying a conceptual continuity. could suggest that Mauricio was a fictional persona created as an artistic statement, and his disappearance was a deliberate part of that narrative.
  • Con: The existence of film credits, collaborations with other industry professionals, and public references to Mauricio's work may suggest a physical presence within the film industry, making the notion of his non-ex less plausible.
  1. Hypothesis: Mauricio Isn't Human

Pro: The descriptions of Mauricio's perspective as "above human," "too aware," and " of a kind," coupled with the deliberate use of visual techniques to mask his appearance, could be interpreted as an indication that Mauricio represents a non-human entity or a transcendent being. This could tie into his thematic exploration of existential and philosophical concepts.

  • Con: While often strive to convey depth and complexity in their work, interpreting expressions like "above human" and "too aware" as indications of non-human status is open to subjective interpretation and may not hold substantial evidential support.

In consideration the information provided, it's important to approach these hypotheses with an open mind. Given the ambiguity surrounding Mauricio de Castro Cabral da Silva, his work, and his disappearance, there's an opportunity to explore the correlations between his thematic, media of choice, production titles, and the limited information about him to seek potential hidden messages or artistic intentions.

Taking these factors into account, the hypothesis that Mauricio represents a non-human entity or transcendent being may find the strongest support when considering the thematic depth of his work, the enigmatic nature of his public persona, the intriguing correlations between his artistic output and the events surrounding his disappearance. However, it's crucial to acknowledge that interpretations are speculative and should be approached with a critical perspective.

Now, supported by all information so far discussed about Mauricio, produce an engaging narrative encompassing the timeline from his origins to his fate or existence after his disappearance.

Highlight a few events that could justify his perspective on human existence.

Finalise your narrative by revealing a high-complexity hidden message deduced from a possible correlation between his full name, his movie titles, and the year of his birth. The complexity of the hidden message should honour the intriguing persona so far discussed and produce an unexpected explanation for his disappearance. Therefore, a multifactor approach must be used to decipher this intricate enigma left behind by this mysterious man. Factors as the origin and/or etymology of the words used in his titles, the years (as in the number itself), or the chronological order of the movie releases, and even the meaning behind his given name and surnames may be of utter relevance to resolve this mystery.
