Apocalypse Now


My favorite movie has been, always, Memento, from Christopher Nolan. Until I saw Apocalypse Now, from Francis Ford Coppola, the director of The Godfather, my third favorite movie. It was released on 1979, so I wasn't on this planet yet. It counts the story of how a captain, named Benjamin G. Willard, must stop a coronel that has driven mad, played by Marlon Brando, who thinks is a demigod. Everything takes part in the context of the war of Vietnam, in 1969. It's an epic war film but has some of the best scenes ever seen in movies and can count like a psychological thriller. 
The protagonist is played by Martin Sheen, and Marlon Brando is the mad coronel. But there's other actors like Robert Duvall or Albert Hall with some serious roles on the movie. 
I saw it in the last vacations, when, usually, I'm tired of everything and I just want to see some movies. 
It must be my favorite, right now, because of the script and the images and some of the most epic scenes that I've ever seen. The scene of "Roach" it's beautiful on his own way.

The Roach.

The power of literature in one person

Image
Roberto Bolaño is a chilean writer that, in his time, told a billion of histories of the realities that he saw around Mexico, Spain and Chile, his homeland. He was born in Santiago de Chile, in 1953, and he died the 15 of July in 2003, in Blanes, Spain. He had two children: Lautaro and Alexandra. He wrote a lot of works, and a lot of them were published posthumously, like his biggest novel, 2666.  Most of his work was written in Spain, Blanes, a little city near Barcelona. Examples of that are The savage detectives, the Nazi Literature in the Americas or Distant Star. He won a lot of prizes for his work. I like him because he writes about the realities of the people he met, and the places where he lived. He was also some kind of journalist. He constantly wrote articles and about the news he saw. But he wasn't the current idea of what we have of journalist: he lived, he saw some things that he wanted to write about, to talk about realities that, in other times, has been unse

The pure instinct of a journalist

Image
There could be a lot of reasons of why I choose journalism as a career. But, a few years ago, I was sure I was going to study sociology. When I was young, a little child, or a person that had other conceptions of life, I thought I wanted to be a lawyer, but I couldn’t comprehend what that means. Therefore, I starPted to read a lot of non-fiction books, most of them, from sociologists like Weber or Marx. At the end, I decided journalism for pure instinct. I really like the University of Chile, the teachers and students. My dream is to write literature, or to work in La Tercera , in the section called Culto . I would like to study something about Hispanic Literature, or something linked to sociology, like writing a book, or something like that.

A picture from years ago

Image
This picture have a lot of background to understand it. First of all, it means more that just a middle finger random picture. It was taken when I thought that anarchism was the politican ideal that I would follow my entire life. That day, I had to dance tango for the school. In the picture, I wear a suit that doesn't fit me well, but I didn't care. And I was talking to my best friend of those days, that is my friend with a colombian costume. It was taken by the person that I liked for like three or more years, that, also, had to dance Tango. But not with me. She saw us arguing about something that I can't remember, but I know it has to deal with our discussions about anarchism or socialism, if my memory does not fail me. It was taken outside our classroom, when we were preparing to go down to the yard to dance.  It has a really deep meaning to me, because, on that time, I didn't realize how happy I was, how meaningful those persons would become on the next years, and r
