Movie guide

Bazuca is a company that sells dvd, blu-ray and online movies, books and video games in  our country on internet. Also, offers monthly subscription plans for movies that Bazuca staff carry to your home without extra charges.

I hired a plan so I must check the website to know movie releases and choose it for my list of the month. 

But the true is I visited bazuca.com before y get my plan. In this web page I can found a lot of movies, directors, actors and comentaries about movies and tv series. I can search some movie and the web recommends to me another similar to the first. I visit it every day so I'm keep abreast with foreign and national releases. And sometimes, if I can't free time to go to cinema I see on demand movies on high definition that aren't on dvd yet. 
Another sections are similiar. Books and games of Play Station 3, Xbox 360 and Wii are online so anyone can know and decide to buy or rent it.
The good of this web page is you don't need to be registered to see anything, unless you want to buy something.

A moment suspended

Today, I choose "The Truce" or it original title "La Tregua". This is a book I read in high school about five years ago. I remember it because I usually hated another books that I must read for my spanish class, so this and "100 años de soledad" are those I liked and read with time before my exam of literature.

Mario Benedetti wrote this work in 1959 about a men called Martín Santomé. He works a lot, is widower and he has 3 children but they don't have a good relation and comunication with their. He is very lonely and his life is the same every day until he meet Laura, a young women who start working in the company of Martín. 

They fall in love and Martin´s life change in 360°. But this happiness is short because Laura dies suddenly, so Martin comes back to live his old life.  

I really like this story because Benedetti wrote it like a diary, where Martin left his feelings and adventures of his days. "The Truce" talks about routine and how we should enjoy every moment of our lifes because good and bad things come and go. 

 A review of the book on Amazon:

 Love, Life and Solitude 30 May 2001

By René Orellano - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

this is one of the greatest works by Mario Benedetti, a story of sadness, solitude and routine. One great virtue of this book is the way it transmits all the moods that the author is presenting through it's descriptions and the way of living of the characters. La Tregua is about love, life, and the reality of a world who doesn't allows us to live as we may want to. There is people who work for a living and there are many who live to work. Share with Martin Santomé and Laura Avellaneda the social dilema that Benedetti is Presenting us.

I'm completely agree with René, because Benedetti relates daily lifes (that are very difficult to described) in an interesting and delicate way.

Emilia and the ghost

Last night I sleep just an hour because I made a work for university so my day was very long and tiring. But today I have the pleasure of make a interesting interview to Emilia Aguilar in my English class, and I forget my lack of sleep.

Emilia is my classmate in some classes at "ICEI". She studies journalism and I study cinema and television, but it doesn't matter because we have some communication lessons together.

In this afternoon, I have some curious about the successful of the TV program "Psíquicos, están entre nosotros" so I ask to Emilia about it. She hasn't seen this TV show on Chilevisión, and she laughed for my question. Well, the true is I saw this program for a few minutes some day and I think that it's terrible... so bad but a little funny.

And after my first question I descovered the true about Emilia's house. 

She lives in Peñalolén since 12 years ago in new buildings. But she doesn't know about these lands were a fields planted with vines before she and her family arrived there.

And this is very important to explain the strange stories of odd sounds and dark shadows around Emilia's house.

Her father saw in the middle of the night the back of a women down by the stairs of his house. She was a peculiar dark shadow. I think it was very scary for him, but Emilia says to me that these situations are very commun. 
Sometimes she hears sounds of invisible people using computer's keyboard and her brothers listen it too. I can't imagine live with ghosts, their scare me a lot, but Emilia takes it very well because she think that these dead spirits are harmless.

This is Toku Konno, a japanese tsunami survivor of March 2011. She has been photographed by Denis Rouvre, a french photographer, portraitist of many famous around the world.

Denis took many photos in Japan of people survived at this tragedy. He made a sitting in studio after the earthquake and tsunami hit that country. This photo is one of those and is third on singles prize of portraits category in World Press Photo, a famous foundation about photojournalism and documentary photography that receives many works of worldsides. 

I like it because the face lines are very deep. Her eyes hides many feelings and suffering for the tragedy. I think is very difficult take photos about terrible situations and is more complicated make portraits of this afected people. Sometimes photographers cross the line and choose awful events to make their photos at that very moment. I prefer something like this. Is not necessary for me see destroyed houses and many people crying for tsunami. Im agree with the decision of take the expresion of this oldest woman. Her face say more that Japan on ruins.

Timeline of human development

1. About 800,000 years ago, fire was controlled by early humans.
2. About six million years ago most early human species became bipedal.
3. The Homo Habilis used to live in Eastern and Southern Africa.
4. About 12,000 years ago, humans managed to control the growth and breeding of some plants and animals.
5. The Sahelanthropus Tchadensis is the earliest human species from the timeline.

A delicate story

I have in my mind a lot of greats movies like Christopher Nolan's films or "Fargo" and "Raising Arizona" of Coen Brothers but today I will talk about the film "Turtles can fly". I don't wanna choose something of Hollywood because they are so famous, so they don't need flattering words by me.
This is a iranian movie of 2004 written and directed by Bahman Ghobadi about Iraq's war against Estados Unidos. The difference in this movie with another war films is in actors. All of them are kids, and they show how live the consequence of violence and abuse for adults that kill for more power.
The story take place in a camp of a little town on Iraq, where children live their innocent days with bombs and mutilated bodies, but they are happy and play with each other.

I love this film because is so hard and delicate at once. Kids are little persons that have rules and hierarchy in the same way as adults are. Those scenes are shocking for a few moments.

About technical terms, photography is wonderful. Places are beautiful but dangerous for these kids who act in the most real performance of their lifes because many of them aren't professional, but they play like facts viewed before.

My precious

My father always dreamed have a reflex camera. When I was in the school he brought to me a little compact camera Sony and in this moment I begin to take many pictures in everywhere. Seven years ago it was a amazing camera, but the technology advance very quickly, so my father bring to me last year the best gift of the world: a digital slr camera, brand Nikon.

Now I can work very good because I'm studying to be a filmmaker and this object help me a lot. I use it when I travel, on meeting , in familiar celebrations, in concerts, in university homeworks and sometimes to do little business. This camera is very good because records in Full HD and has high resolution to take a photograph in different light conditions. I like it because it's a incentive from my dad to be best every day.

The only problem is I used my camera and in the future I will not change it for another. Well, only for one better than my camera.
