Post 3: My favorite Movie

Hello, today I'm gonna talk about my favorite movie, this is also a hard decision because I'm not really a person who enjoys watching a lot of movies, I just watch the ones that everybody, specially my brother, tells me to watch.
So, that doesn't mean that I haven't seen any movie, actually I have seen some pretty good ones, like Donnie Darko, a few of Studio Ghibli like Grave of the fireflies (La tumba de las luciérnagas) or Spirited Away (El viaje de Chihiro). So, if I have to choose one, I would pick
Grave of the fireflies (if you haven't seen it yet, DO IT)
This is a Japonese animated war movie based on a semi-autobiographical story of a Japonese called Akiyuki Nosaka. It was released in 1988, animated by Studio Ghibli, but there's also the live-action version that was released in 2005.
This film is really beautiful and sad. I cried when I watched it for the first time, but I'm not a good reference because everything makes me wanna cry. Anyway, the story is about two siblings, Seita, the teenage brother, and Setsuko, the little sister. The context is the ending of the WWII, so there's a lot of firebombing in Kobe, Japon. So they live there with their mother, but she died early in a firebombing, leaving the kids alone, so the the story is about how they have to fight against the conditions of being orphans at that time, with no food, no family to support them and living in a cave, huntering fireflies. 
I don't want to tell you the whole story because I would be really proud if you watch it and cry like me.

    This is so sad, even sadder than seeing the footage with the music of Sufjan Stevens.

Post 2: The best concert ever

Image
Hi there, today I’m going to talk about my favorite concert. It’s really hard to me to choose one concert because I have been in many concerts of my favorite bands, but I could make the effort to choose one. My options are, like I already said, many, such as Guns ‘n roses, Pearl Jam, Linkin Park, Franz Ferdinand, Green day, Metallica, Muse, etc. I really enjoy going to concerts. I think that the best one was Pearl Jam in November of   2015, at Estadio Nacional. I went with my big brother, and it was amazing because every concert of the band in Chile (I have seen them three times) it’s really cool, not only because of the music, it’s more than that, they just make you feel that they love to be in Chile, drinking wine and singing their best songs. But also, Eddie Vedder has an amazing voice, not like when he was young, but it's still great. The setlist was really good for me, and even I was really tired because there were so many people and the crowd was really crazy, I just ju...

A photo, a memory

Choosing a photo was very difficult because I have a lot of options, historical photos, family photos, photos with my friends, that are really important... But I decided to choose this that is one of my favourite pictures, because it's very expressing and a pretty photo taken in an important place I took this photo on September 12th, the day before the conmemoration of the state coup and it's Londres 38 , an ex center of detention and torture. The walls have writting some names of Detained.dessapeared that were there, and in the street, there's a lot of plates with names, so many names, so many persons of some many ages that didn't diserve that, because nobody deserves that kind of treat. I think that the photo represents the memory, because the flowers, the names in the walls written by maybe familiars, maybe common people, have the importance to illustrate that we don't forget, and we don't forgive.
