Santiago de Chile  from a Visual Approach 


Resultado de imagen para santiago de chile


Santiago have a lot of cinematic potential, I study cinema so I will talk about this.

Santiago is very interesting in his visuality because, unlike another Sudamerican big cities, here the separation of the center with the periphery is very hard. In another cities there is a kind of mixture, here the dictatorship an other factors stablished the  radical separation.

This thing, aborded from the visuality it means, is very strong; just enough you get in to a micro of the transantiago (bus), and you will see the city changing his face a lot of times. This thing is big challenge to the cinematic representation, if you want to representate Santiago you have to capture this changes and this differences. This separations make the citie becoma a map of different  ideas and social imaginarys .

In my opinion, this thing, even if its a factor in comun with a lot of another cities, is one of the things that defines the visuality of this city. It defines the actions involved, the dinamycs of the whole city, his movements, the movements of the people, everithing.

A movie that I love A movie that I love is Coppola's "Rumble Fish", I really love that movie;  all the daydream aesthetics on it  work so good. To me, watch the movie is like a sensorial experience, but thats not the only reason because I love the movie.  In my own biography "Rumble Fish" has a lot of significations, is weird, but my mom and my uncles create a kind of simbolism around the movie. They see themselves in the movie characters.  The Motorcycle Boy  is the older brother ( who died two years ago, so you can imagine all the emotions around the movie),  Rusty James  is my younger uncle, he is very very similar to the character in a physical and in a mental way. That's why I love the movie, I could talk about it all day because is a beautiful movie whit a lot of meanings for me.  "A movie that I hate" is a hard question, I think a intentionally  forget about the bad movies, not forget like a erase in my mind...

       EVERY PICTURE TELLS A STORY Sebastian and Luciano, March 2017.   I'm going to write about a the story behind this picture. I like this picture because it was taken at the end of the summer of the 2017, I was visiting my friend  Sebastian,  we  meet in the  neighbourhood  years back and we are friends since we were 13 yearls old. He leaves Santiago  to study in Buenos Aires, and the summer of the 2017 we made a road trip making auto-stop  from Santiago to Buenos Aires. We stay one week the place he rents in Buenos Aires and then we continue traveling to Uruguay. We travel a lot,  we know a lot of places and people, it was great , always  making auto-stop and making  the money  last the most possible. We arrive to a carnival in Uruguay, those were very crazy days, drinking and smoking a lot, and visiting beautiful beaches. We have a lot of adventures, we make great friends ...

My  opinion about the use of blogs in the English class I think is a very useful tool to us to lear English, and try to express ourselves  by writting is a big challenge, sometimes I think in something to say or write about, but I don't know the words, so I start to look aways to say it, and that means I start learning vocabulary and new expresions or another ways to say what I mean. Another thing I like about using the blog in English class is the topics that you propose, I really enjoyed writing about an important picture ("every picture tells a story") or writting about the cinematic potencial of Santiago city ("Santiago from my study program's point of view") and another topics. It makes me look for information or think about things I didn't write about before.
