Pulp Fiction

My favorite movie is Pulp Fiction, a Quentin Tarantino’s film released in 1995. It has everything that I love in a movie: action, blood, mob, witty dialogues, and great actors. The greatness about this movie is its complexity, you never know what is going to happen and from one moment to another everything gets upside down.

The Plot is hard to describe ‘cause of the complexity and the nonlinear storyline of the film. But it’s about a lot of stories coming together in bizarre situations. It has to do with a mob, leaded by Marcellus Wallace a well respected African-American.

You can also enjoy the performance of John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Tim Roth, Bruce Willis, Uma Thurman, Harvey Keitel and Quentin Tarantino. All of them great actors (at least in this film). I have seen this movie like ten times (I’m not kidding, I just love it) and I know that I’m going to see again soon. I even have an original copy in my house; it was a Christmas gift from my parents.

I love going to the cinema, but it’s too expensive. When I go it’s just because I had a coupon or someone invites me. The last time I went to the cinema, was a few months back, I saw “Inception” a film directed by Christopher Nolan (Memento & the Dark Knight) and performed by Leonardo Di Caprio. I strongly recommend seeing it, better in the cinema ‘cause it has great effects that you can enjoy in the big screen.

Places to visit!

I don’t know Santiago very well, I know some historical places and museums, but just a few. Obviously I have an excuse: I was raise in Curico, my hometown, it’s located in the north of Maule’s Region (is the seventh if you didn’t know) however I was born in Santiago, but my family just came here to show me to my grandparents (they have lived their entire lives here). And I know very well Curico, sometimes I get lost but it’s because I get lost easily.

I’m ashamed, I have been living in Santiago for four years now, and I don’t know this place. However some foreign friends have come here to visit and I have shown them some places that I personally love and that I think every tourist should see: First of all green places (like squares) I think that the forest park it’s a beautiful place, the streets around that and the art museums near that park, makes it a great place to visit. For example the Beauty Arts Palace (from his architecture and his art) it’s a fantastic and cheap. This is my favorite green place.

An architecture place that anyone can’t miss is the Sacramentinos’s Church, it’s located in San Diego street. It is just lovely, everytime I see it it amaze me the beauty of this Church.

An important museum that a tourist should visit is the Precolumbian Art Museum, it shows all the handmade thing made by the natives before Columbus came to America. It’s located near the Town Square.

A street you should visit is Yungay street, it’s representative of the ancient part of the city, the houses in that street have more than 300 years and right now is restoring the cultural side of the city. Last but not least is the government palace, a gigantic building build as a republican icon.

Music is essential

Music is essential. Just like that.
For example, have you ever watched a movie in mute? It’s horrible, I know it firsthand because I have to travel almost every week to Curico (my hometown) and inside the bus there is always a movie been played, and there aren’t headphones available so you have to watch it without any sound, but you can read the subtitles (so you can understand what it is happening). Music makes every emotion, sensation and situation more intense. Like when I’m happy I just want to hear “cumbia” or hard rock and when I’m sad I just want to hear grunge or blues.

The band that I’m listening now and that I’m obsessed about is Alice in Chains, a band originally formed in the late 80’s in Seattle. I heard this band when I was fifteen years old and I just loved it, we met up again a couple of months ago, because they got a new album out, It’s called “Black gives way to blue” and I just can’t stop hearing it.

I used to play the piano, in fact I was in a band and I played the keyboards, it was a metal band called “Elodia” and my friends were in that band so it was a lot of fun, but unfortunately it’s over, but we have great memories of those days.

I don’t know if Music is really essential, I mean I don’t know if we (as a society) couldn’t live without it, but what I know is that is essential for me.
