Questions and answers

 
When someone is a little child is normal to feel curiosity about some topics and create a lot of possible answers. I wasn't an exception so I always made some questions (And now I'm still asking, about other topics but always having the curiosity, no matter if I'm bothering like a fly). With all my questions I had some crazy theories which still make people laugh when I say them.

For example, when I was little, I always saw a lot of girls on an school bus. The teacher notified them when the bus approaches and she always talked to the driver so, in my childish mind, I concluded the driver was the mother (or father) of all these little girls. So my following questions were: How their family supported them? How many toys they bought? How many food, clothes, soap... DAMN, A LOT OF MONEY... for a lot of noisy and playful children.
I make the same questions when I see modern families with a big number of children because every year the basic things for life are getting more and more expensive than before (back in the day, things were cheaper so the number of childrens was bigger, my mother has 4 brothers and sisters and my father has 6).

And, still in the topic of children, I knew that a married couple have a child (today I know they don't need to get married but maybe the influence of my school gave me the first idea). Now, when they wanted another child... they need to get married again? I thought in the ritual a strange force made womans got pregnant and have kids EXACTLY 9 MONTHS after the phrase "Now you can kiss the bride"... maybe the kiss, maybe the priest (?!?!), maybe the flowers... bleh. The point was: Do you want a kid? Get married. Do you want another? Get married AGAIN. That means clean the dress and the tuxedo, invite people again and bake a wedding cake... mmm... cake :D Now I don't think marriage is a first priority (if I get married, I'll only do the civil ceremony because I don't like religious ones), I'm too young for that... but I'll buy a big cake (like the wedding ones) for me because I love desserts :yummy:

Finally, when I was a little girl, I though the names were unique for everyone: I'm the only one who have the name "Fernanda", my brother is the only one named "Domingo" and all this stuff. One day I watched TV with my family and a woman had sung on a stage... and her name showed up on the screen: She was called "Fernanda" too, and I got mad because she "stole" my name... MY NAME!
When I started school that theory got broken because I had 7 classmates named Constanza, 3 classmates called Francisca, 3 classmates called Consuelo... and 2 classmates called Fernanda so... well, I was wrong, it doesn't need big explanations.


Yes, when someone is little and don't know about some topics, our imagination gave us some crazy answers. The important things are still keeping our curiosity and creativity alive, following the knowledge road and discovering new elements.
Maybe someone starts to losing the amusement hability when gets old and thinks he can't use imagination but, as Friedrich Nietszche said, "The maturity of the man is when he has came back to find the seriousness he played with when he was a boy".

Have a good weekend!

An education... some people needs that.

Today we don't have classes because of the strike (today, for one more time, the TV news only showed the incidents and not the matter of the manifestation ¬¬X) so we watched a movie.

This movie, called An Education, shows the story of Jenny, a girl who loves art, french, books and music but don't have the freedom to feel her fandom as she wish (her father don't let her be... is I have to say it in some way). She wants to go to Paris, go to the clubs and play some music.

In a rainy day she meets David, a guy who helps her to go home, they talk about music and he invites her to go to a club in Friday night. Jenny, since this moment, started to know a new world with arts, music, travels and a lot of pretty things... but with a cost.

I don't want to make an spoiler about the movie but I have to say the girl was lucky. In the real world a lot of guys and girls make mistakes, ruined their lifes and don't have second chances.


And let's talk about education. A lot of young people can study because the university is too expensive and some of them must freeze their careers because the money they have is not enough for pay all the costs of education in this country... and this girl almost throw her chance to the trash for a man?! COME ON!!


Oops, I made some spoiler...


Well, the movie have some good things, the places was too pretty, some of the music was fine and, in a part of the movie, sounded the "Relax-o-vision" song (If you have seen Freakazoid you will understand xD).



I feel a little angry about the story, I promise next post will be more "cheerful"... maybe.

If you've got a taste for terror... take Carrie to the prom

To be honest, the first thing I thought when I saw the number of the film was the Europe band song, however, was impossible a connection between both Carries because the song was written on 80's and the film was created on 70's.


Carrie was a movie directed by Brian De Palma and starred by Sissy Spacek (John Travolta was acting on this film too), based on a Stephen King book and had its premiere on 1976. It's about a quiet and shy girl called Carrie White who have to stand the mistreatment of her mother, a religious fanatic who thinks her daughter is a deliver of sin, and of her classmates due to her shyness, weakness and a particular event: She started her menstruation on the school dressing room and all the classmates laughted and throw to her a lot of tampons and sanitary napkins. For that, all the girls of the class received a scolding from the teacher and Chris (the leader of the attack) was punished being banned of the prom party. Chris wants to take revenge for the punishment who a teacher give to her for the incident of the tampons and, with the help of her boyfriend Billy, humilliate Carrie in front of all the students, teachers and parents prensent on the prom dance. In other side, Sue (one of the Carrie classmates) tries to correct her mistake and insists to her boyfriend to take Carrie to the prom dance.

Her mother didn't tell her about menstruation so was normal Carrie got scared a lot.

On the film we can see Carrie have a secret: She discovers her telekinetic powers and them appears when she concentrates energy at some points (for example, she stare at a child who laughted at her and she attacked him). Carrie practice her powers away from her mother because she got mad when saw Carrie using them (her mother said her powers was a curse of Satan) and, at the same time, tries to be more sociable to go to the prom.

I don't want to tell the end of the film but I have to say that the special effects of the film are totally according to the decade xD If you can, take a look to the movie and the book.


Why I like that film? I feel a kind of empathy with Carrie, in a lot of circumstances I have wished to have a resources or the physical force to punish people who bothered me, however, I was so shy in my school days (mostly on primary) and I can't say nothing.
The other reason I like this film (and a less "sad" one) is the fact that you don't need a lots of monsters or a lots of weapons to make people scare, you can make unexpected things to do that possible, it's more like a psychological terror.
And, finally, this movie increases my opinion about the crazy and illogical things who religious fanatic people do... just look at the Carrie's mom, forcing her daughter to pray every night and blame her all the time for feeling "impure".

Have a (insert something here) day!

When some bands play music, Rammstein are burning

Sometimes is hard for me to choose one of my favourite bands because I have a lot of them on my list but I decided to talk about this one because I was listening to them a lot of years ago, I met some people with its music, is the only one I saw in a concert and maybe I don't listen to them a lot as I did years ago but I have an special "love" for this band. For this reasons, and because they're great, I'll talk about Rammstein.

Yeah, they look quiet on this photo... but they're not always on this way xD

Rammstein is a german Industrial Metal band (is a kind of metal which includes some elements of electronic music) of 6 musicians: Till Lindemann on voices, Richard Kruspe and Paul Landers on guitars, Oliver Riedel on bass, Christoph "Death" Schneider on drums and Christian "Flake" Lorenz (my favourite one) on keyboards. They debut was on 1996 with the Herzeleid album and, since them, they release 5 more studio albums (Sensucht, Mutter, Reise Reise, Rosenrot and Liebe is für alle da), 2 live albums (Live aus Berlin and Vörkerball) and, the newest one, a greatest hits (Made in Germany) with a new song called "Mein Land". Almost all their songs are in german because they consider their own language as a perfect one for metal (Oliver said "French is the language of love, German is the language of rage"), a couple of times they sung in english but that versions didn't have the same impact as the original ones, they sung in spanish too on the song "Te quiero puta!" and had a duet in german and russian on the song "Moskaw". The topics of their songs are politics, sex, sarcasm, SM (Sadism and Mazochism), religion and some basic instincts like fight or survival.

This band is famous too for their concerts because they use fireworks, fire launchers and other pyrotechnical elements, for example, on the song Mein Teil the vocalist "cook" the keyboard player on a big and flaming pan. For that all the integrants of the band had to study and train about the use of fire for avoid accidents on stage and for the public (specially the nearest ones to the main stage).

I like Rammstein because mix perfectly metal music and electrodark elements, they have amazing CD covers, I love the german language (It gives some stregth to their songs), they have a great performance on their videos and on stage, when I saw them live on 2010 was a great moment, the music was intense and the fireworks made the sky brighter, no matter the fact the concert started at 21:00 hrs, and the performances of the integrants were so funny (I always say Till and Flake are the masters of showbiz xD) and, can sound sentimental, but their songs went with me in some moments of my life when I was on the last years of school and when I started college (when I met one of my oldest friends in college we started to talk about Rammstein a lot). Besides (with bands like Slayer, Kreator, Sepultura and Brujería) Rammstein is a band that I listen to when I need to "free" all my rage because I'm an irritable person sometimes xD

The other thing I like is they lyrics because they talk in a particular way about certain topics. For example the song "Zwitter" ("Hermaphodite"), one of my favourites, talks about a person who explains the advantages of having the elements (physical and mental ones) of both sexes (in one part of the song he talks about giving a bounch of roses to himself).




The thing I hate about Rammstein is the primitive and basic idea of some people about "German thing=Nazi" ¬¬ I have to argue with classmates a lot of times because of that.



And before I finish, there a video of their concert on Chile.


Have a good day and let's rock!
