Suffragette review

Well, I don’t really enjoy watching movies and it wasn’t the exception to be honest (sorry about that). Today we watched “Suffragette” which is a British movie about women's suffrage in the United Kingdom. 

I didn’t like the movie not because it’s a bad movie or something like that, it’s just that I’m not into movies, it’s very hard for me to be all time concentrated and I’m always fight against falling sleep.

I have to talk about this movie but I prefer to talk about the historical period in which history takes place, I mean the “vote for women”.

It’s hard for me to imagine that someone could disagree with that cause, but there were plenty of them in the movie, they didn’t want women to vote because they said women had not the same mental capacity as men had.

My favorite character was Violet, Maud’s workmate. Violet (and Edith as well) was always encouraging everyone and I think that is the best way to persuade someone, she had to be left out of the cause because of her pregnancy but she was clear to tell everyone not to give up.

The thing I liked the most about this movie was that they finally got their purpose, they got the cause which they fought for. There were many things that I hated, for example, when Maud was caught up and got locked (way too violent by the way); or when Sonny didn’t let Maud to enter after she was arrested, he gave their child up for adoption, that was really heartbreaking.

My favorite scene was the final one (because it was about to end, I’m just kidding) because they finally made it, they were heard worldwide.

Thanks a lot for reading, I really tried to make it shorter than the previous ones and I think I did it, I’ll keep working on it.

Best concert ever

I haven’t been to many concerts in my life (just 3 or 4 “big concerts”). The most memorable ones are Bruno Mars and Maroon 5.

Bruno Mars concert was just last year (in November) in National Stadium here in Santiago, it was my first concert in such a huge coliseum (I was there before for a Copa America’s match but it’s not the same) it was amazing. I was at the floor section and I was really tired. I arrived to the stadium at 8 am because I wanted to be in the front row, of course. I remember I got sunburned really bad (you can see my shoulder on the photo, of course I covered my face).

Well, the real name of Bruno Mars is Peter Gene Hernandez Bayot (I don’t really know if they use their mother last name). He was born in Honolulu on October 25^th, 1985 (he’s 33 now). He is one of the best-selling artists of all time and his voice is gorgeous. I got so many things to say about him but I don’t want you to read that much.

The atmosphere there was really good, we all were so excited. I remember we sung all his songs during the wait. I went with a friend and we met 4 people else there, one of them was really funny and we did a video for his YouTube channel, I never had said “don’t forget to subscribe and like the video” (DON’T TRY TO SEARCH IT).

The concert was unforgettable, and all the feelings you can imagine, we felt. We smiled, we cried, we didn’t want him to stop singing, we didn’t want it to end.

Before Bruno Mars show, DNCE were performing at the stage, and it also was amazing, I wasn’t expected to enjoy that band the way I did, I didn’t know them so much.

Nevertheless, it wasn’t my best experience in a concert (it actually was but I’d say there is another show that is my best experience as well). You can stop reading here, but I wanted to post this as well.

In 2015, when I was on exchange in New Zealand, we went to the Maroon 5 show and we got to be in the front row that time. One weird fact is that Adam Levine threw his towel to us and we caught the half of it, some Chinese people caught the other half so we fought for the towel, finally a guard took it away so nobody got it.

I could be writing all day but I think is enough, thank you for reading so far, I’ll try to make it shorter next time.

A country I would like to visit

There are plenty of countries I’d like to visit, I think there are so many wonderful places in the world that deserves to be visited so it's really hard for me to choose only one.

Some of the countries I would like to visit are here in Latin America, very close to Chile and I know I will go there, so I’m going to write about a place a little bit harder to go.

Well, one of the countries I would like to visit as soon as possible (if they let me get in) is the United States of America because I think it’s the most amazing country in the world (I know there are so many people that hate this country because of its system, its historical repression, the way they use their power and its supposed supremacy over the rest of the world, and I respect their opinion, even I share it in some cases).

What do I know about USA? Many things! I know it has fifty states (I learned them all when I was younger), I know it has a big population; they are the reference for many things, etc.

What I’d like to do there is to travel around the whole country (from Seattle to Miami and from Maine to San Diego), meeting people and getting full of memories to share with family and friends and keeping those memories pretty well kept in my heart. I think the best way to know a culture is by living there, so I would like to either study or work over there. Of course that I would like to just go on vacations and enjoy all the landscapes in California, the music in Louisiana, the skyscrapers in New York or Illinois, the study culture in Massachusetts or North Carolina, the country stuff in Tennessee, spending the time partying and printing some sights to remember everytime I see them.

I hope I can go there soon and everywhere as well.
