Cinema experience

Hello my friends, I will write about films in this opportunity
The cinema is a great place, but if you want to go to the cinema to see a film you must to waste many money. Some people say that the ticket’s price is appropriate with regards to the good (to see a film), but the experience related to the cinema depends of the economical situation of the people. Then, some people don’t have the opportunity to see some film.
I like very much to see a good film, but I never go to the cinema. Normally, the reason of that fact is related to my loneliness. I have felt so strange when I have seen a film lonely. However, this year I visited the cinema three times, which is a huge quantity for my normal average of films. I have gone to the cinema two times with my girlfriend and one time with my mother. The last time when I went to the cinema it was the in August of this year. It was a great experience, because we (my mother and I) went to the cinema in the morning and nobody were in it. We saw “the Inception”.
I never rented films, but I have pirate movies. I know that the pirate movies are illegal, but I don’t care, because is stupid that I feel guilty about an industry that earns millions and millions only with the cinemas.
On the other hand, my favorite film is Taxi Driver, because I think that this film is a great description of the deep America. Taxi Driver is about a guy that drives a taxi. Well, is a poor description of the film, but I really think that you must to see it to understand the complexity behind the history of this film. However, I have seen this film only twice, because I think that the films can lose their magic when somebody repeats the experience many times. “Taxi Driver” doesn’t have weak points, because it is a piece of art, anyway that is my personal view. Obviously, I would recommend this film only if you want to think, because is a complex film.
Bye my friends, I see you soon.

Santiago

Hello friends
Santiago is an unknown place for me, but I will try to write something about this city. Actually, I don't like Santiago, because is a place without a true soul. Well, I guess that the last comment was exaggerated. However, I believe that if Santiago is my place of origin, is very obviously that I have to make an effort to talk about its qualities.
In Santiago you can go to many places, in fact you can choose some place in relation to your interests. I mean, If you want to dance you can go to Discoteque, for example. There are museums, beautiful parks, historic sites, etc.
Five places where you can go related to five things that you can do:
1) San Cristobal Hill. In this place a tourist can enjoy the landscape and make exercise going up the hill. When you go up the San Cristobal Hill you can find the metropolitan zoo and have a good time with many animals for low price. I choose this place because each place should to be known through its natural areas.
2) Bellas artes museum. In this place all the tourists can learn about culture and improve their knowledge related to art as a social construction of a nation. This museum is very important and its history is a mirror of the chilean society. I choose this place because I think that is very important recognize the culture of a city through its historical institutions.
3) Central Market. The chilean food is offered at the Central Market, which is very important to understand the chilean culture. I choose this place because the food represent the structure of our society and nation.
4) Barrio Bellavista. This place is special to have a good night. The tourists can eat, drink (many drinks) and dancing to nightclubs music. If you are stressed this place is for you. I choose this place because the fun is an important part with regards to as a city is presented to the people.
5) Cafe con piernas. This place exists only in Chile, which is very important to understand to Santiago as a city with strange particularities. I choose this place because the way to live the sex is an aspect very important for the culture.
Bye my friends, the next week I will come back

"it's only rock'n'roll but I like it"

Nietzsche said that "without music, life would be an error". I am agree with that phrase, because my life is a group of songs. I always connecting the experiences of my life with my favourite music. The music is the perfect scene for every moment that I lived in past.
I feel very good with a great variety of music. I like different music styles: punk music, rock music, indie music, etc. But, I don't enjoy too much some music styles, like reggaeton, romantic music, teen-pop music, etc., because I feel that this kind of music is just a business without honesty.
Some bands are very good, for example, Primus, The Flaming Lips or Radiohead, because those bands create music mixing different elements, with excellent results. Moreover, last year I went to the concert of Faith No More and I really liked the quality of their music.
I don't listen to radio, because the chilean's radios have their focus in certain people which don't represent to the all chilean population. However, some radio stations play music more varied, as the following radio stations: Horizonte, Sonar, Futuro, etc. This implies that I have my own music collection, which is composed of many mp3 and compact discs. But, from some years ago I don't buy compact discs, because those are really expensive, so I prefer download music and destroy the business behind of its mask.
A great song called The Bends by Mister Bungle is related with my identity, because it is a suite of nine minutes with many parts, rythms and melodies that are in connection with my feelings.
Unfortunately, I don't play any instrument and I don't know read music, but I want to learn as to do it. In addition, I don't sing very well, but I always do it when I listen to music in the street and when I enjoy so much some songs.
Embarrased I recognize that when I was a child I sang the Puma Rodriguez's songs and I think that some of those songs were the first ones in my mind.
Without music the life would be an error (Nietzsche), because this is an art very emotional that we can associate with our life and feelings more pure. The music is the background of our subjectivity but with concrete shape.
