Hello you, stranger? Jajajaja Sorry about that but I was listening a The Doors' song so I couldn't resist. Uhm...the sunny days were too little, I wanted more...for wash my clothes.
So, in this final blog of the class, I've to talk about my favourite movie and I can't be more excited! That's beacuse my mother taught me about films world since I was a child and I mean the old ones, the classic ones, the romantic, the mysterious, etc. She made a good job, beacuse maybe she didn't show me all the movies in the world, but the fact is that she show me the basics of the today's movies.
Among all the films that I saw, the special one for me is: Cinema Paradiso. Is an italian movie where the principal actors are Philippe Noiret, Salvatore Cascio, Jacques Perrin and Marco Leonardi (who also makes Pedro in Como agua para chocolate, another of my favourite movies) and directed by Giuseppe Tornatore.
The story is about a man's life and how this is developed with the love for the cinema. It began with the retrospective of Salvatore Di Vita's childhood and youth, the protagonist of the film, in the city were he use to live Giancaldo in 1950. Also is very approach to his relation with Alfredo, an old man that works in the Paradiso, the only local movie theater in the little city.
In that time, Salvatore was 6 years old, he was curious, cheerful, playful and stubborn. He made company to Alfredo, an old married man with no sons, illiterate and who only knows to make the projector of the cine works. Salvatore always want to make company in his work (even if he said many times to leave him alone ), learning about how use the cinema's projector and the love that Alfredo had to the movies...A love that he said is a bad one, because it take you in chains and never let you leave. If you see the movie, you would understand this words.
Is an intensive movie, with a lot of characters that goes to this cine and makes this place a center of meeting. The people fell in love, fights, made jokes and even had sex in it. In resume, it was the bond of the city. I don't just like this movie, I love it, because is not very complicated to understand but the story is very touchful...It had at least one part were you can feel identified...Because is about life, the losts, the profits, the love, the sadness and the death. Also, it has a plus: Ennio Morricone. He made the music for the movie and always, when I heard it, I remember many of the scenes.
All the movie is special to me, I can't change anything. It's not perfect, but just as it is, it touched me deeper. I have many of favourite parts but the principal is the final one: the scene of the kisses. But I can't talk you about it, you have to see it! Is a favor,you had to saw it first, and when you maybe started to cry you'll appreciate that I don't ruined the surprise.
Well, that's all. I liked to talk about it. See you anytime!
Take care and eat cake!
Hello people! How are you? In this cold days, I had survive. But I always want to stay at home and be in my warm bed sleeping with no world's worries. Possibly, is something that many people wants.
My college, for example, gives me a lot of worries, like the homeworks, the examns, the credits, etc. However, it's delightful being in this place. "How is that?" you may ask. Well, I learned about many things, even if I didn't like some of them. Also I learned about a lot of people that writed of the political sciences or public administration, being the majority men that used most of their time investigating. Sadly, that just show me that they have a lot of free time, because a big part of them never need to work... At least, some of them like Henri Fayol, Frederick Taylor, Karl Marx and others had to work for own some money, and as a starting point, they began writting about the political or administral issues that they saw. But they never had to take charge of their home or their family and all the responsability that society gives to the woman.
So there's a women that I want to talk about, but I'm not very sure if she counts as someone of my field: Susan B. Anthony, a feminist and a prominent american civil leader in the United States.
She was born in February 15th in 1820. At the age of 29, she moved to New York, taking part of conventionts about the temperance movements. But that was just the start, because later she traveled a thousand miles across the United States and Europe, giving over 70 and 150 convetions per year about the vote and women`s civil rights. It didn't matter how, she moved to all the places as posible, even if it had to be in carriage, train's wagon, mules, bicycles, ferrys or a dog sled. This journey was a big part of her life, being around 45 years that took for teach and informate all people about the unfair tratement between this two genders. It was March 13th of 1920 when she died in Ronchester because a pneumonia.
The first time I knew about her was in Power Puff Girls jajajaja. They talk about her and how police send her to jail for voting. She claimed that she must be traited like a man and wanted to be judged as well.
I chose her because of the effort that she make for advocate about the equal rights in her sexist society. She was a precursor of the women's rights, but also a fighting woman, that tried all her best for make a difference. I mean, she DID something for the people, no like the men that we learn about. They sit in their table to write about important things, but the ones that my teachers talk about were a zero on the left. I know that men made great things for the history, but in my personal opinion, part of they did it in scorn of women.
Well, that's all for today. I hope that you, women and men, don't take my opinion as an attack of a fervent feminist, it was just a though across my mind. I'm in favor of equal rights, that's all.
See you soon
Take care and eat cake.
