Wes Anderson, my new favorite movie director

Hi, not so long time ago I saw a interesting movie called "Moonrise Kingdom". I loved this movie, for that i gonna talk about the creator: Wes Anderson, this guy is an american movie director, writer and producer. He was born in Texas in 1969 and sice he was a little child he dreams about make films. He studied philosophy In the university, the place where he met the friends who help with his dream in the future, like the actor Owen Wilson, on of the recurrent actors in his movies.

   The first Wes Anderson film was "Bottle Rocket" with Owen Wilson, it was followed by "Rushmore" (1998) and "The Royal Tenenbaums" (2001), his most succefull film at this time. Later he makes "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou" (2004) , "The Darjeeling Limited" (2007), then the animation film called "Fantastic Mr Fox" (2009) and finally my favorite "Moonrise Kingdom" (2012)

   I like the films of Wes Anderson cause he can create a own world, difficult to see in another
places. The characters and the locations are excessively peculiar. Their films was full of maniac and inexpressive characters, who wer make anormal actions for the rest of the people, but very logical in the mind of theese guys. The moments was very weird, with a lot of akward moments, and it an causes a funny strangeness in the audience. I invite to you to watch his movies and discover the world of Wes Anderson.


The Most Viewed Film of the Year

Hi! In this time I'm going to talk about the last action movie I saw: Iron Man 3. Me and my friends went to the cinema to watch it five month ago when one class was cancelled because the teacher was ill. But, we don't go to our houses yet because we must go to a English class, that it was in the afternon. For this reason, we decided make the most of our time and go to the cinema. We go to Cinemark, the next at our University.

The movie was the third part of the Iron Man saga but is not necesary watch the other films to understand the story. In summary, the movie talk about the life of a millonaire, Tony Stark, who was developed technology of last generation in the world of war. The problems arises when a new villain appear with the intention to destroy Tony Stark and his machinery and take the control of the United Statesgovernment.

Iron Man 3 was protagonized by Robert Downey Jr. in the rol of Tony Stark and Guy Pearce in the rol of the villain, Aldrich Killian. Both actors usually plays those types of caracters. In the case of Downey Jr: funny and arrogant.  And in the case of Pearce: the bad guy of the movie.

The movie was very enjoyable with all kind of explosions, combats in the air and earth, and all the differents ways of show the technology used by the principal chatacter Tony Stark. But they are very well know resources of the action films to surprise with hasn't something really new to show. It was fun, and this movie was the most viewed film of the year.

The day with 24 hours, its a Problem

   Hello everyone, in this case I´m gonna talk about the little time that I had in the week.
   It´s very difficult to be a university student, be a worker, a good friend, a good son and have time to enjoy simple things, like sleep or have the time to make your own projects.
   In June, when my university stopped for 2 months, I could write and create a short film with my friends, also I had time to work, visit my family and sleep more than eight hours at night.
   Maybe I'm a pessimistic guy, but I think that everybody in this country deserves a minimum of two free days a week, one for resting and the other for doing things that in the week we can´t. For example, in my case I like to draw and paint in oleo, or go running, I would like to learn to play the piano.
   Another solution could be subtract hours to work, instead of eight hours every day, it could be six hours and obviously for the same money. One of the reasons is because many people live so far from their work (people like me), and they spend two hours around. To arrive at their job, then the people spend ten hours every day away from there home.
   I hope not to sound like a lazy guy, but I think that the work should be in a second or third place in ours lives.

I hope that you want to comment this post, bye.

Hi, this post is about "How green are you"?

   In Chile, the people do not have an environmental culture and it is difficult to find people who know about this problem. The easiest way to learn about environment, recycling and looking after the world is the Internet, in web pages and blogs of many countries who have environmental conscience. In my life, I really don't have habits about recycling, but I try it. I always throw the trash in suitable places and try that other people do the same. But I don't have a garbage collector for each type of material in my home or university, only few times I have seen this kind of garbage collector and in this case I use it.
   Santiago is a big city, and where I live now it´s difficult for me to walk or use a bike (also I don't have one)  to go from my house to my university or other places, I try to walk in short distance, but most of the times I use the public transportation.
   About eco-organizations, I have never met one or I have never met an official, only by news or web pages. In the future I hope to support some organization in same way, but I think that if each of us supports these eco-organizations, they would have less work.
   In my case, to reduce the carbon footprint, I try to walk a lot, but it´s difficult in a city like this. The faster way to arrive in a place is by the public transportation. another way is, obviously, don't throw the trash everywhere, and make other people do the same too.
   The most important aspect in Santiago to create an environmental culture is to teach everyone how we can take care of the nature, it´s difficult here, but to teach an environmental culture is so important if we want a nice place to live everyday and in the future.




I hope that do you like this post! :)

My Summary this time is about a sport news: 

Former football soccer payer wants to coach a England soccer team

Dennis Bergkamp

   The Guardian has published a news about a former Arsenal player the Dutch Dennis Bergkamp and one of the "invincible" in 2003-04 Premier League. He said that he wants to coach that team. He is currently assistant manager in his first team called Ajax, a Dutch football team, but he explain next: "I don't see myself being at Ajax for the rest of my coaching career. I don't see myself as a manager." - (The Guardian-2013)
   If Bergkamp arrive in the future at Arsenal he wants to reunite some players and former team-mates like the French Patrik Vieira and the forward player Thierry Henry. Both men showed interest to return to their former team when they won many titles like some Premier Leagues or the achievement of play one the final of Champions League. 
   Arsene Wenger is the current Arsenal coach and Bergkamp refers to him like "the boss" and the best men for the job, but he is waiting for the arrival to the soccer team when he won two Doubles with the "Gunners" in the future.
    In Ajax its OK, but he doesn't want to stay there for the rest of this manager career.
When he is asked about the present of Arsenal and if they can win the Champions League trophy he said: "The sings are good".

September 24
Pos Nº 1:

A place I´d like to visit.

I would like to travel around the world in a few years, but the first country that  want to know is my own, Chile. I think that everyone should travel in his country before going out to visit other places. Chile is a  very unique country, it has mountains, lakes, sea, desert, forests and many other beautiful places that we can visit. After that, I would like visit other countries like France, Italy, Egipt, England and United States. Specially France and the rest of Europe to know its cultures, see its monuments and know about the art in this place, the history behind this beautiful continent. I would like taste the food, sweet food like chocolate, and salty food like pizza. Also I wanna know about the history of cinema in this country, where  the inventors of the cinematography were born: the Lumiere brothers. Visit the first places where they filmed and the classic monuments in this country, like the Eiffel towers or the Eliseos fields. I want to take a professional camera to take many pictures in all the places that I visit.
I don't know anything about the French language, but I like how it sounds and I think that is not a difficult language to learn. I know some about history and art of this country, but I´d need and want learn so much.
If I had the opportunity to work or study there, I would do it, but not live there forever because I love the country where I live and I still have many places to visit.
To finish off, I remember that I have two friends in Europe, a friend in Spain and another one in Norway, and this motivates me to visit this continent soon.

Hi, today i going to talk about my ideal job.

First, i must say that work is not the most important to me in the  life, but if i could choose my ideal job would be to paint like an artist, or be a detective as the novel detectives to live in England or other country in europe. But definitely be an artist is my dream since i was a child, i still like draw and paint sometimes, draw faces and portraits. I will like travell around the world and paint the differents faces of the people, learn about different cultures and draw beautiful landscapes, from mountains to oceans, from sunrises to sunsets.
Ever that you want to be the best in your job, i think that the most important is hard work, in this case is the same but also, the creativity and the technique are very important when i decided who y how paint, and not all has this talent.
I grew up draw in my house and in my school, and i love it, but i need learn more about art and technique to be a real painter. I dont know if paint makes money, but i feel that in Chile the artist´s work is undervalued. You could be a good painter but few people appreciate your work. I do for hobbie or when i want to give some special to a special person.

Thats all!

Hi again, today I talk you about a person who inspired me.

   First i must say that my career field is the cinematography and the tv, and a person who inspired me is the great Sr. Charles Chaplin. Charles Chaplin is a actor, producer, composer and director of many films, he is a icon of the silent movies. Born in London at 1889, since he was a boy has a relationship with the spectacle specially in music hall. In 1913 he traveled to United States and begin making movies with recognised directors like Mark Sennett or humorist like Roscoe "Fatty" Arbucle, since then he became in a star of the world cinematography, even some peoples thinking that Chaplin was more popular than Jesus.
He worked in movies almost 60 years like actor or director, some famous movies that he mades are: The Kid, The Gold Rush (1925), City Lights (1931), Modern Times (1936), The Great Dictator (1940) that was is first talk movie, and Limelight (1952) hes last appearance in a movie.
    I like Chaplin because is a master in the comedy, he mades great movies even in war times or in the great crisis of 1928, also because he borned in difficult condicition like economics troubles but that dont stoped he for achieve the succes, just like me he traveled many kilometers to reach his dream.

Hi, today we choice talk about: the last movie you saw

Well, the last movie I saw was Mama, a thriller movie made in Barcelona and Canadá. I saw this movie in the Costanera Center movie theater the last tuesday, I went with a friend that invited me, he won two tickets for the premiere.
This movie was star in by Jessica Chastain and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. Others caracter in the film was Daniel Kash and Jane Moffat.
This movie is about two little girls that lived in a old house alone for five years, online with a ghost that they called mama. This ghost killed the girls' father before he shoots own daughter, but then the uncle take the girls and carry with he to his home. The ghost then killed the psychiatrist-doctor of the girls and his aunt. Because the fantom try to protect the girls. Finally the principal actor Annabel discover the truth about the gosth, she was a mather that died more than a hundred years ago but never found his little baby, and she carry Lilly, the littler girls, to the cliff a lake.
For me the movie was very funny, like a comedy in momets, but it had good effects and beauty photógrafy. And the performance of the children is very impresive.

´Hi, today i gonna talk about my favorite technology piece:

   Two years ago my favorite piece of technology was missing, i lost my MP4, but in the past summer i decided to buy a camera to fill  my technological space, is from this moment that i have a GoPro cam. The GoPro Hero 3 is a small camera, with it you can film and take pictures meanwhile practice sports like ride, surf, swim or many others. I use the gopro for example when i want take pictures to the landscape, moments with my friends, or to film under the water and make timelapse (many pictures make a short video).
   I often used the camera many days in summer, but few moments since i comeback to university.
   I love my camera, first because is a new model, the real name is gopro hero 3 white edition, its not expensive and is a pocket cam that be able to film in high definition. My Gopro is my only cam and without it i wouldnt practice my hobby and my future work. I love take pictures and film the places that i visit.  








And this is one of my videos with it:

Hi, this is my second post.

Today I'm going to talk about my favorite band, but sincerely I dont have a favorite band, only favorites songs. If I must choice a band, I think that the most greatest band is AC/DC.
AC/DC is a rock band (hard rock band) from australia. They begin in the 70's with power music, they made goods songs like "TNT", "Let there be rock" or "Highway to hell". Unfortunately in 1980 the vocalist Bon Scott died, leave the band without a important member. But in the next year Brian Johnson is incorporated to the band, and is first single is "Back in Black", a tribute to Bon Scott.
I like some themes of this band because the melody is so powerfull, when I listen themes like "Back in Black" or "Thunderstruck", my body feel the energy and I think that I could be anything. Its so good listen AC/DC when you running for example, or any other kind of sports that you practice. Also for the performance that they do, in the fireworks or the kind of dress of Angus Young, a master in the guitar.
  Some themes that I like is "Thunderstruck", "War Machine", "Shoot to thrill" or "Back in Black" for the energy inside each song, in the instruments and the voice.

Hi, welcome to my blog.

   Mi real name is Leonel Nicolás Arteaga Carrillo, but i prefer Nicolás.
   I was born in Temuco, a city in the south of Chile, on the 30th september 1991 (21 years old). I love my city, i studied in a primary school called "Campos Deportivos", then i studied in the oldest college in the city: Pablo Neruda, named for the nobel price that studied in the same place. But when i was 18 i take the hardest decition in my life when choice study in Santiago at not traditional university career: Cinema and TV.
    I have great pasion for that i do and i hope comeback some day to my city for work making movies, documentals, tv programs with other people, and make the most of beautiful in the  region.
   I like all kind of movies, specially the clasic movies and hoolywood movies, like Orson Welles, Hitchcok, F. Lang, Tarantino and Martin Scorsese. The tv is my other pasion.
   Also I like practice sports, draw, paint, eat xd (specially my mother's food) and meet new people. but no so much read or write, and for this my favorite sentence is: less bla bla and more action!

   Finally I can tell that my favorite music is Rock, like AC/DC, Foo Figthers, or music like Limp Bizkit. The music is very important in the life, this can tell it as you are.
