Blog 4: Jimmy´s Hall Review


Hi all! It's a pleasure for me read this post for you...

I didn't like the movie. It was too long and boring. Also, it was similar to the one we saw last week. It seems that Ken Loach loves the Irish people because this movie is about the same as The Wind That Shakes the Barley. But is good that he made films about political and social conflicts. I prefer that before love movies or Disney movies hahahahah.

My favorite character was Jimmy Gralton. He returned from the United States to help his family and his community. I liked his revolutionary spirit. He was not afraid to face against the Government and the Catholic Church. He was a social leader. I wish I could march next to him in the Alameda for a real public education for our country.

My favorite scene was when Jimmy's mother pretended to lose the key for Jimmy's escape. He was brilliant and very intelligent. It made me laugh to see the cops coming out  trought the window.

After watching the films of Ken Loach, I knew much more of the Irish culture. That was good for me because it was something I did not know.

Well, it's all for today. See you next week!

    Hi Chris! I also think that Jimmy is a great leader, but not better than you. I see you the Thursday in the pitch, captain. Go CAC!

Blog 2: The best vacation ever

Imagen
Hi everyone! Today I am going to talk about the best vacation ever. In February 2015, I went to Buenos Aires with three friends. We were in Argentina's capital for one week. I have traveled to Argentina before with my family but this time with my friends was really different. We had so much fun! We did funny things, like going out to eat pizza and milanesas, we drank beer and Fernet in Puerto madero, also we walked in the small streets of the downtown and we explored around the city's neighborhood. I really like going to Buenos Aires because is the soccer's capital. In this travel, I knew Huracan's Stadium, called "The Palace" Tomas Adolfo Duco, and saw the match against San Lorenzo.   An interesting thing about "The Palace" is that appear in the movie The secret in their eyes, a great movie that won one Oscar. Also, I went to Avellaneda for knew other two stadiums, named Cilindro of Racing Club and Libertadores de América of In...

Blog 5: My future job

Hi everybody! I hope you had a great weekend! Today I'm going to talk about my future job. Since I was a little boy, I used to play with a ball everyday. It was something that I really loved. That's why I decided to study journalism. I want to do something related to the sport. As time went by my fanaticism grew bigger, I just wanted to play and watch football all the time. In the summer, I worked on a radio. Radio ADN. It was a great experience. I went to the sports section. I met journalists with a lot of experience like Danilo Diaz, Juan Cristobal Guarello, Cristian Arcos, Rodrigo Hernandez, Victor Cruces, Diego Saez and anothers. But in that place, I can say that I didn’t really find the happiness that I was looking for. I want to dedicate myself to football every moment of the day. For this reason, once I finished my degree, I will take a course to became a football coach. Salary is important, but I think being happy is better. I don't know if in the future I will ...

Blog 7: My favorite character

Imagen
Hi everyone! I hope you are doing well. Today we are going to talk about our favorite character.  Well, in my case I will talk about my favorite character of Peaky Blinders's series! His name is Thomas Shelby, but h is real name is Cillian Murphy.  Cillian Murphy is the same actor who plays in "The Wind That Shakes The Barley" and "Jimmy's Hall Review". We've seen it a lot. Much more than some classmates in English classes hahahah. "Tommy" is the leader of the Birmingham criminal gang Peaky Blinders and the patriarch of the Shelby Family. His experiences during and after the First World War have left him desillusioned and determined to move his family up in the world.  The serie is about criminals, weapons, horses and gangs! Despite being a criminal, Thomas takes care of his family. It's interesting to know these characters that have a good and a bad side. The people identify with them. Something similar happens with ...
