Post 3: My Favorite Movie

 Hello everyone! Welcome to my blog.

Today I'll write about my favorite movie Tres Tristes Tigres (1968) by Chilean director Raúl Ruiz, based on Alejandro Sieveking's theatre play of the same name.


I remember the first time that I watched this movie: I was impressed, left me confused and makes me feel uncertain because its narrative strategies are entirely different  from the cinema that I was used to seeing; for example, this movie has no central conflict because the characters are guided by events, not by their actions, like Nicanor Parra's poem Un Hombre, and I found that very interesting. But I must recognize that it's my favorite movie over others because I have a special affection for it. This movie was the first one that I watched at a film festival, after that I was delighted with Ruiz's cinema, and the cinema in general, because before this I didn't see much of cinema. 


I usually like to watch drama and suspense movies, but I also watch horror and comedy movies; indeed, the last movie I saw was Shiva Baby by Emma Seligman, a comedy and drama movie. In a few words, I liked this film mainly because of the atmosphere that Seligman creates of being cornered, tense, and with no way out; I think that it made me feel the same discomfort as the protagonist, but maintaining the comedy. I recommend watching it because one of the topics of this film is the pressure the protagonist is under for her future caused by the uncomfortable questions of people. Moments that many of us have probably faced.



Thank you very much for taking the time to read this post :)

    My favorite Ruiz film is Las Tres Coronas del Marinero (1982). I keep reading it as an allegory of exile.

    wow, I never thought I was going to find a Chilean movie. I must confess that I have not seen that movie, but it sounds very interesting. I think I will see it :)

    Regards.

Post 2: The best holidays

Hello everyone! Welcome to my blog. Today I'll write about my best holiday. First I have to say that maybe this holiday is not the best, and not the most amazing either but I remember them with a lot of affection because it was a travel that we won with my high school classmates. The trip that we won was to Torres del Paine, and as we were in Punta Arenas, we were close to our destination. This holiday was at the end of 2015, and it lasted 4 or 5 days (I don't remember exactly). In those days, with my classmates, we hiked and saw beautiful landscapes such as glacier Grey, lake Pehue, and Salto Grande. We were also able to see incredible wildlife such as huemul, condors, guanacos, and foxes. And apart from that, we saw rock art, and also we visited the Milodon cave. It was a modest holiday, but we enjoyed it so much because we had never traveled together before. We always remember the anecdotes that happened to us, as one of our partners who needed hospitalization, but above all...

Post 7: Changes to my Study Programme

 Hello everyone! Welcome to my blog. Today I'll write about changes to my study programme. First of all, I have to say that I study Theory and History of Art, and I really like my study programme. I like the curriculum and the teaching methods. But if I had to make changes to my study programme, the first one that comes to my mind is to include  practical subjects in my career because, in my opinion, it would be very nourishing for our formation. For example, if we learned a few art techniques such as drawing, sculpture, or painting, we would have a much better understanding of the procedures, the artistic disciplines, and the position of the artist, and, in that way, we could make a much more complete analysis about artworks.      Apart from that, I would include a new teaching method, like practical teaching, because I think that studying with physical artworks would be good, specifically to study topics like conservation, collections, and even the curatorship...

Post 4: My Bucket List

 Hello everyone! Welcome to my blog. Today I'll write about my bucket list. Speak about this is a little difficult for me because I've to confess that I've never made a bucket list indeed, I've never thought much about it, although many times I've been recommended to do it. Anyway, I think that it's a great way to have clarity about my goals so I can make them happen, so I just thought of one. Well, on my bucket list, I would include activities about my personal development like learning sewing,  ceramics, and other languages; be more an understanding person, and get out of my comfort zone. Apart from that, I would like to travel around the world, appreciate nature, have my vegetable garden and complete my familiar tree with my ancestors. I would love to travel around the world with my loved ones, but I think this activity is a bit more difficult to achieve, because I've to have time and money, and besides that, I've to speak more languages apart from my...
