About "The artist"

Some time ago I watched in Kino Muza a movie titled The artist. It’s not an ordinary movie. Although it is modern, shot in 2011, it is stylized on silent movie. And this is incredible because there appears a combination of silent movie with some moments of modern cinematography. It’s a great procedure which gave him 5 Oscars, 3 Golden Globes and international fame. I would like to show you the trailer for the movie:

Silbo

You may not know but in the Island of La Gomera people can communicate with themselves by a whistling language- Silbo.

 

Years ago, before the arrival of Spanish settlers in XVI century to the Island, the original inhabitants- Guanches- were using this kind of language. It was a normal communication method in mountainous areas.

Now the language is adapted to the sound of Spanish language and it has 2 vowels and 4 consonants.

To prevent the extinction of Silbo, the government of Gomera  introduced the language to Gomeran schools.

"Kiwi!"

A few days ago I came across on youtube on certain short-length film in English, called “Kiwi!” which I would like to share it with you. This film, though looks simply, has a deep meaning.

I trully recommend you watching this kind of movies because many of them transfers values, sometimes already forgotten. I like watching them because they surprise me by the way they show the whole story and the moral in such a short period.

Will Psy set another record?

Who of us doesn’t know Psy’s hit “Gangnam style”. Almost everyone can recognize “horse dance”  created for the video clip of the song. The clip reached more than one and a half bilion visits on youtube. It’s a world phenomenon. 

This month has taken place a premiere of another song of the Korean, titled “Gentelman”. Is it going to achieve the same success?

What do you think about the new song which has already a lot of visits?

A long-awaited time

At last the spring has come! In spring everything seems to be better. The people have better mood, we have more energy to straggle with our everyday tasks,  everyone is polite and smiling, days are longer and the world is sort of more juicy. After this long winter now we may enjoy the weather and the sun. Let’s take advantage of this!

A box full of memories

 

This week, in our English class, we were talking about what a memory box is. In regard to this, I have started to wonder what would I put to my memory box, so that, in many years, I could open it and find inside all the most significant objects of my entire life. Would that be pictures, flowers, jevelery, coins, letters, postcards, clothes or something else? Is it at all possible to limit ourselves and place all our experiences, dreams, good and bad moments to that tiny piece of cardboard while every year brings us memories worth remembering?
