Soundtracks

We are talking just about films, but what about the music in them?
Burlesque is the best example of how important is to develop a good music to involve the audience and make them feel like they are living it.

The plot starts when a waitress called Allie decides to change her luck and goes to Los Angeles to find a job were she can show her talent, singing. There, she finds a club, "Burlesque", were lots of pretty girls dance sassy choreografies and raise fame. Inmediately, Allie decides to work there, where she'll have to find her place with the help of Tess, the owner of the club.


Allie is stared by the singer Christina Aguilera. In my opinion, she plays really good her role (maybe a bit egocentric) and her talent is undeniable. The second main character, Tess, is stared by another singe, Cher. Cher was very criticized in the movie, because before it she had been seven year out of the music bussiness.

Anyway, that's the movie about: to follow your dreams, it doesn't mind what people think about you. All the soundtrack reflects it with the titles of the songs: "Ray of Light (Madonna)", "That's Life (Alan Cumming)" and "Express (Christina Aguilera)".

Is it better to enjoy your money when you earn it or is it better to save your money for some time in the future?

   Everybody is very interested in the way they spend their money. Each one choose what to do with it, but what we would do (if we had the money) is to save it. We have good reasons to say it.

 
 First of all, if there is an emergency, like bills, or a friend needs money because the bank is going to seize his house, and he begs you (in hipotetic situation, of course), are you going to deny your help? Another reason is to save a bit of money so you can buy something that you have been looking forward to a lot of time, like an iPod, in our case, or a car in a more serious situation.

 
However , society keeps telling us to spend more money in useless stuff that we will never make the most of them. For example, on the TELETIENDA channel, beautiful people offer continuously new products that apparently are the most perfect things ever made by humanty, but in fact, they are not as perfect as the commercial says. But you want to try this "spectacular" product, because this is the dream of your life! And when you buy it, they send it to your house and you notice that this is not the same thing that you had seen on TV. The product is simply a fake.


As conclusion, society tries to convince us to buy things but in our opinion is more useful earn your money for things really impotant.

THE ART OF WRITING

All of us can write a sentence, a paragraph, or a text, but not all of us can write :
I mean write, like an art, because all of us like  a good book:

All the people read, but has anyone stopped to think, what about the people who write those books that we all like?

For example, the writer of Twilighit, Stephenie Meyer, is 'mormon', a  type of religion, wich doesn't want their "believers" to have "relations" before the wedding , so that's the explanation of Bella's and Edward situation, before the wedding, they didn't do anything, surprised?

I think, you'll never thought it was because the author was from an specific religion which didn't wanted it...
because everyone thought it was because Edward was a vampire and he could hurt Bella...

Well, that's the most curiously thing that I've heard of writers, but write is an art, and the artist, sometimes, are so weird..
There're so writers who only like to write terror stories (  childhood trauma maybe?), or writers who only write sci-fi books, but that's more common.
Or there're writers who write at the begginig of the chapters extracts of poems or songs, like in 'summer in jeans'..
  
So, here there're some photos so you can know, who and what are the things that I've just talked about

10 EUROS? WTF?


 Have you gone to the cinema lately? Have you seen those high prizes? I go to the cinema to watch a film, not for pay so much money for two hours of entertainment. And I don't care if the film has got three dimensons or five, I only want MY FILM, without announcements or publicity.

  
The last time I go was to watch "The Breaking Down", I pay 6,70 euros, I think this is a little high prize, but it's not bad comparated with others cinemas where I go. But it's unbelievable that a ticket for watch a film in three dimensions can cost ten euros. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!

  
I remember when I were a child, I went to the cinema to watch "Harry Potter" o "Ice Ace" and I pay four  or at the most five euros, but not these astronomical prizes. In the last years, the prize of films had been raised from four euros to ten.

 In my opinion, this is a vicious circle, because if the prize of the tickets raise, you go fewer to the cinema, and consequently, the tickes will cost more and this successively, but I don´t have a solution for this, cause if the prizes of the tickets fall, there would be fewer films..

Books become films


Maybe you didn't know, but a lot of your favourite films have been inspired by a previous book. For example, “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” and “The Prince Caspian” are books from a collection written by Clive Staples Lewis, known as C. S. Lewis.

Those books are about the history of a imaginary world called Narnia, where creatures like animals which can talk, centaurus and humans live together as equals.

In the first film, an evil witch controls Narnia, and the Lion Aslan (considered as a god), is disappeared. Four london children are driven to Narnia by a wardrobe, and they have to prove themselves that they are able to save Narnia.


In the next one, the children return again to Narnia where there is a plot to depose Prince Caspian, the legitimate heir of the throne. Lucy, Edmund, Peter and Susan have to protect the Prince and get the throne back to him.



The films can be more entertaining than the books, but there are a lot of details that are forgotten in the way of production. In our opinion, the books are more complete and deeper than the movies.

Our advice: read the book before watching the film. You will understand better some scenes and will catch double senses of them.
