Movie I like most.

It's very difficult to me to precise which is my favourite movie. I can only guess that is the one I am going to watch next time. Anyway, one of the most beautiful movies I've ever saw was "Dead Man", directed by Jim Jarmusch, and stared by Johnny Depp. It has a western aesthetic, and a wonderful BSO played by Neil Young who really makes its guitar talk and tell us a story. Dead Man is the story of a shy man named "William Blake" (just like the poet) that in a certain moment of his life loses most of what gives sense to his life and finds a job in the other side of the country (from Cleveland to the town of MACHINE), but, when he arrives there, the position has already been occupied. He has nowhere to go, and begins a journey to become a real man, a dead man. He gets involved in a shooting, and the daughter of the boss of the industry of machine gets killed along with her previous fiancée. He is blamed of it, and has to run away, hurt. While running away he meets "Nobody" an Indian that teaches him his path: to make poetry with his gun.

PD: the most beautiful thing in this movie is the end, that actually, is told by the machine operator in the train, at the beginning of the movie. "Look out the window. And doesn't this remind you of when you were in the boat, and then later than night, you were lying, looking up at the ceiling, and the water in your head was not dissimilar from the landscape, and you think to yourself, "Why is it that the landscape is moving, but the boat is still?"

Mapuche Issue

The first thing I would like to say, is that Mapuches is bad spelled. If you analyze the word, you realize that there's no need for the plural, it would be like saying "peoples" when you're actually trying to say people, one people. Mapu means land, and Che means people. In fact, if you really think about it, we are all Mapuche, we all live over this very same planet, over this same land. Even if we didn't, most of us, Chileans, are Mapuche, or are sons, daughters, grandsons, grandaughters, grandgrandsons and grandgrandaughters... But it seems like there is a huge problem in the family, because most of Chilean people try not to think very much about these relatives. And I can't blame any of my mapuche relatives for not trying to think about our relationship, because my ancestors weren't really good to them. I think that Chilean people have a broken identity. But reconciliation is not easy, if we see in the news all the time the aggression between winka and mapuche. If you think about it, Winka aggression to Mapuche is a very silent one: For winka, mapuche do not exist, don't allowing Mapuche to live with the commodities that winka are used to, not allowing Mapuche live with the commodities they used to enjoy. To Mapuche is not that easy, they (or we?) can't pretend that winka do not exist, they attack them. And I am not saying that's bad, actually.

Italy

I would like to visit Italy, because my family comes from there. Italy is a country that was born from the revolution led by Garibaldi, because before of it, Italy was constituted by a lot of separated "states", but it would be more certain to call them independant cities. The most important were northern ones, like Genova, Venezia and Firenze. Most of them keep some medieval structures, even some keep their walls, like Lucca does, but most of them destroyed their walls because it didn't allow the city to grow. Some of them, like Roma keep their cathedrals, but completely surrounded by skyscrapers, so it looks very strange. On the other side, Pisa has the Leaning Tower surrounded by a huge countryside, where is a cementery and another cathedral. In that very Cathedral, Galileo Galileo studied oscilation in the movement of candelabra, and did a lot of experiments. On the other side, Venezia stays pretty much the same during all these years, with their "pontes" and their very thin streets. Instead of buses, the public transportation are the "vaporettos", medium sized ships that go through the canals carrying people just like buses do on a normal city, but you can also take "gondola" that are like Taxi, because you go alone or with a partner, and its a private service. When a couple takes a gondola, the driver usually sings and plays an instrument. It's a very beautyfull scene!
