Tilva Rôs

The last week I went to the Film festival of Valdivia. In that place, I saw a movie that blows my head off, Tilva Rôs.

This it's a movie about teenagers, but, not like the typical movie about young and stupid people. This movie was beyond. With a perfect soundtrack, and images in video of the pricipal characters doing stuff like Jackass (the old program of Mtv) we melt into their reality and life.

The story takes place in Serbia, specifically in Bor. A group of Skaters called Kolos spend their summer vacations filming videotapes, skating, drinking and laughing.
The two protagonists, Toda and Stefen, enjoy the hours of the day doing whatever they want.

The special of this film, is that the characters, aren't really character, are themselves. The director of this movie, found a videotape recording by Stefan and Toda when they was 18 years old. In that tape, there appear skating and the most of the time doing stupid things like Jackass.

Technicaly, this film is perfect, with a beautiful photography, and music in the right time, this movie gives to you a bomb of emotions like none of the last movies that I saw this year have bring me to me.

I really hope that this film came to the theaters to see it again, but I don't think so. It's not for all kind of people, you must to identify with the characters to really enjoy it.
The magic of this film, it's that is so personal, and it has elements like the music that is so hard to find in others films, that make of Tilva Ros, one the best movies that I saw.

PD: I've never couldn't love this movie if LuchO didn't show me before most of the grups that appear in there, that is a fact =)

PD2: I love Stefan!

Smart is the new sexy.

Normally, I don't used to saw TV since I was I a little girl.

I remember that in that time, I enjoyed watching series like Buffy the vampire slayer, or Dawson's Creek, or the anime from the 90's in the nationals channels. But with the years I grow up, and replace the TV for the movies, and that last for many years, almost all my high school.

One day, my little sister told me that she like a new TV program, and she want it to watch it with me. I refuse many time because I allways have to do something better than watch TV. Untill one day, I was bored and turn on the TV. In the Warner Channel was playing a curious serie calling BIG BANG THEORY. I started to see a episode cause' I remember that that was the tv program that my sis love it, in that momement, I couldn't stop to laught for the half-hour that last de show.

And don't know if it was the script, or the actors, or ths story, but I really love it. Since then, I share with my sis washing it, only when I have time. But it's difficult for me, cause allways there are so much to do, so, I decided to download the two seasons in dvd, to watch it every time that I want it with her. Now, in this right moment, I'm downloading the thrid season, cause I couldn't watshing before :D

I also used to watch Dr. House sometmes in the night before to sleep, but I loose it the last season, and now I don't understand the new stories. Maybe later I'll donwload the serie, or maybe not. In the mindtime, I enjoy with Sheldon and company with all the phisics that I never understood in school.

Since I remember, Gatchaman (Fuerza-G) it's been always my beloved cartoon. I was five years old when I discover this anime, and I became adict it, i'm not sure but, I think that it was UCVtv the channel where I saw the cartoon everyday. My ideal was think that I was the girl in the anime called June. In fact, the firts draws that I can remember was the characters of this anime in some papers (I beleve that my mon has it). Then I grow up, and in the TV stopped the transmission of the program, so, for a while, I forgot it.

Now, with the internet, I have the possiblity of review my favorite cartoon, download it and feel me like a child again. Share my childhood with my little brothers, because they like it very much the anime, like I do, even more. In fact, I cant't hardly wait for the premiere the next year of the movie, with advanced technology and specials effects. I feel like a nerd talking about this, but in my free times I still enjoy with those animeseries, the older of course, like Slum Dunk, Dragon Ball Z or Evangelion. But now my sister it's who show me the new anime, and I must to admit that there are very good material, like Nana or Bleach, the anime that makes me rebirth my child side.

Valparaíso, is a port at 1hr and half to Santiago. The first time I went was the 2008, (I went before with my family but I don't remember very good). Since then, I travel there at least twices times every year, for many reasons and celebratings. The last two year, I've been in there for the New Year, and it was one of the happiest moments that I remember in my entire life.

The two years I was passing for a sad time, cause I had many troubles and disapointments; the people that I loved most was the most dangerous for me. But when I arrived to the port, I felt release, and free, and really really happy. All my problems and sadness seems dissapear for a few days.

The two time I went with girls who help me a lot to feel great, and never forget all the adventures that we past, like pass to a cementery in the night and when the guard came we have to throght the beers to the floor and jump almost 2 meters. Or when spend a night in the street dancing a celebrating with the other people, and smocking in the hills with view to the ocean, or eating hot dogs in the square, listening the drums in the streets, enjoying the melon with wine (jajaja), or comming back making "finger", etc. Besides, the fireworks are awsome, and seems it will last forever.

Obviosly I have more favorites places, like Valdivia, every year is like a low to me go there and my classmates for the Cinema Festival. But there it seems always like a dream, and I keep it that way, like a dreams that last only for 4 days. In Valpo I know my reallity, and I put my feets on the grown, and still, I'm happy there. Because you must make your own hapiness and not depend of the others, you have to risk and explore all the places and feelings to feel you alive, and move on.

Valparaíso makes me feel fearless, but insecure sometimes at the same time (because you never know what will happend there), but for all over, even having so much memories and melancholy in those streets, I feel free, and I always want to go back!

Travel?

Devendra Banhart in the same place that I was twelve years ago.

If I can have the possibility of travel to anywhere of the world. I don't really know what country I will go first.

Definitely I will go to France, and I will walk for the famous streets of Paris. And I will visit the Louvre, and every corner of the city. I will eat a lot of food, pizzas and all kind of wine in the riverside. I will take millions of photographs of everywhere and everyone. Obviously I will buy some clothes.

Another country that I like to go is USA, only for Ney York. My dream is know the places that Woody Allen it's so in love. Besides, I think that I could be in so many concerts of so many bands that never will come to Chile (like Nathan Williams) that makes me mad about it.

But really, the first country that I would like to go is Greece. I love their culture, their mithology, and their ruins.
I went once before, when I was 10 years old, and I only travel for Athens, I didn't know the island, and I've heard that they are the most beautiful of the country.
And who knows? maybe I will can discover something about my origins.
If the place it's perfect, I would like to stay there, or any other city in Europe, because the culture in the old continent it's so rich, and the people isn't crazy like in North America or here.

The First Term of 2010

This Picture was taken the last sunday before to came back to class. And is the reflect of all my last semester (even if the day is over, you can still find something nice).


I'm cursing the third year of Cinema. So, this last semester I have to write a couple of scripts and I also worked in some classmate's shortcut.

If I have to talk about this last months, I necessary have to talk about my friends and the new people that I knew. I've spend so much time with them, that makes me forget all the sadness that I felt the last year. Even the earthquake was like a party with them.

I also watched so many films, in my home or in the cinema. (For the first time I went to a 3-d movie jajaja). And I discovered a lot of new music like Carusella or Wavves (by a friend).

In March I won a ticket to a concert, the band was Korn. It was the first time that I went alone to a recital. It was so much fun. (Now I have to spend a lot of money to see Pixies, Queens Of the Stone Age, Mars Volta and RATM).

Suddenly the semester ends and came my birthday. My 22th years old in July.
I recieved one of the best gifts, I made a big party with all my old and new friends, I run away to Valparaiso, and I finished in a comisary (that was a missundestanding).

After that, with some girfriends went to San Antonio and enjoyed of the peacefulness of the beach. And when I came back, I had to face the reality.

Now, I have to start this new semester, with the hope that this can be even better.

This is me... enjoying my vacations

Cinema

It's hard for me to talk about a favourite movie, or a favourite director. There are so many, that I can't decide, so I will write about the first ones who came into my head right now.

First is Stanley Kubrick with his unique eyes to film movies, movies that I love like "Full Metal Jacket", "The Shining" or "The Killing". He was a vissionary man, who knew how do perfectly his job.

But it was "A Clockwork Orange" that exploted my brain. There is no doubt, this film is in my top 5 of films.

Another famous director that I love is Quentin Tarantino.

He is brilliant, I can't say anything about him but flatters. I've seen all of his films and I love all of them. "Pulp Fiction", "Reservoir Dogs", "Jackie Brown", "Kill Bill", "Death Proof" and the last one "Inglourious Basterds" even his short cut in "Four Rooms" or another movies that he wrote the script like "Natural Born Killers" and "True Romance". He is simply a genius.

"Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" is a another movie that enjoy so much. Even if it hurts me everytime that I see it. It was directed by Michel Gondry, a famous video clip and commercials director. I really think that this is his one-hit-wonder, because the others films aren't so good. But his videos are great.

The Movie "Head On" directed by Fatih Akin is another film that blow my head off. It's so bizarre thet I love it. It's about a crazy love who break every racional bounderies. For start, both characteres knows each other in a Psychiatrist for trying to commet suicide.

She is Miranda July, a film director, actress and writer who made the film "You and Me and Everyone we know". A little story about love, sex, art and feeling that I love. She is so smart and fragil. And her wrotes are son beautiful that inspire me to see beyond.

One of the directors that enjoy most are the Coen Brothers. Joel and Ethan, are so clever to develop their movies that everytime that I see them I love it more. Films like "Fargo", "Miller's Crossing", "Big Lebowski" or "No Country for Old Man" are just master piece.

And for the last, but no less important is Woody Allen. He with his ingenius scripts, his funny movies and stories about love and life in general are so great, that there isn't another filmaker who exceed him.

I know that I left many other in the inkwell, like P.T. Anderson or Danny Boyle with Trainspotting (one of the best in the world) but I have to do another work now, so. That's It.

See ya!
