My green side

I live in Santiago a very polluted city by the thousands of cars and buses that everyday travel around it transportng people to differente locations. Some people in Santiago prefer to ride a bicycle because they know that the city its polluted and the air its full of carbon monoxide a toxic gas that is toxic to all kindo of living forms, they do it because they want to stop contaminating the valley and I want it too. I consider myself a green frendlyu person, I like nature and I want to preserve it so in order to help the earth I walk everyday from my house to the university, also I collect the aluminium cans that my family dispose at home in order to recycle them in a recollection spot near my house. Bees are a essential insect, they are the key to human survival because they pollinate flowers, when I see a bee I try to not harm them, if the get caught inside my house I open the windows so they can get out as quickly as they can :)

Talking about movies

Hi guys, today im going to talk about my appreciation of 2 movies that made me meditate about their cinematographic qualities and aesthetic development. The first movie that Im going to talk about is Blade Runner (1982), directed by Ridley Scott and starring Harrison Ford and Rutger Hauer its a sci-fi film that takes course during the year 2019 in a futuristic looking Los Angeles where "replicants" (artificially enginereed humanoids) are forbidden to live and interact with humans. In this plot Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) a retired police officer works as a "Blade Runner" looking for the replicants among the citizens of L.A. and killing them. I really love this movie because the plot its very original, the soundtrack amazing (was composed by Vangelis) and its aesthetic production its one of the best that I have seen (the costumes, and scenarios are perfectly done).

On the other hand a movie that I just hate completly is any DC Or Marvel comics film because they are all the same, the "good guys" fighting the "bad guys" just make me sick its always the same story with different characters. They just keep repeating the plots and recycling the "heroes" like they were neverending stories.

  

A day I will always remember

Some days can be boring, others frustating but now Im going to talk about a day that has a special value for me. When I was 6 or 7 years old ( I dont remember the exact date) I was in my house watching tv during the evening when my mother told me that we had to go to my father´s workplace because he wanted to buy some new clothes. So we boarded the metro, then we arrived to the building located  in the downtown of Santiago were my father worked, took the elevator and waited inn the company front desk. Later my father appeared holding a shoe box in his hands, I noticed a noise coming from the inside of it, when he gave the box I opened it and I found a small cat!, it was a surprise made by my father. I named the cat tom because his fur was white and gray (just like the toon), he grew up big very quickly, years later he disappeared without any notice :(  

A special song for me

I really like listening to music, when I was 8 years old my parents gave a small radio, it didn´t had a cassete or radio player but I learned to use the radio tuner.
I remember tuning to different broadcast stations during the night while I was in bed. Years later my parents gave me a INXS greatest hits CD for my 17 birthday, I still have it in my music collection and its one of my favorite music album. INXS was an australian music group that performed between the years 1977 and 1997

This CD includes tunes like "need you tonight" "original sin" and "never tear us apart" they are all great songs but I really enjoy the lyrics of tear us apart: I was standing/ you were there/ two worlds collided/ and they could never tear us apart .
"Never tears us apart" its one of my favorite songs, it talks about an inseparable couple wishing to be together for all their lives, it was written by the lead singer of the group Michael Hutchence withe the collaboration of Andrew Farris.

I really love it because the lyrics are very poetic, the saxophone gives it a lovely effect and music video recorded in Prague has a nostalgic atmosphere. Unfortunately Hutchence committed suicide in 1997 and the group ended their career shortly after. :( 


BTW I really enjoy Shostakovich`s music:
