Another movie review: Ghett'a Life

Here we are again, a new film review and this time it is gonna be about "Ghett'a A Life".

It takes place in Jamaica, and the protagonist is Derrick Thompson, a teenager who wants to be a professional boxer, but in Kingston the life is complicated, because there are 2 political parties, who are contraries (in the movie it doesn't mentioned the name of the party, but they can be identified by color): People's National Party (The orange party) and Jamaican Labour Party (The green party).

Derrick was from orange party and the boxing gym was in green territory, also the parties we're really violent each to other and the bosses of the gangs of each party usually kill people who has any relation or contact with the other party. For this reason, Derrick's brother was killed (after the events of the movie) and all comunity thought the green party killed him, but the reality was that he was killed by the orange party.

Well, I like this film, because it shows us a different reality of Jamaica and an improvement history with a dream come true.

My favorites characters are Derrick Thompson, Dawn Thompson (Derrick's mother) and Manuel (Derrick's coach). Because, Derrick is the protagonist (hehehe that is a joke) I like Derrick, because he leaved the fear and went for his dream, he enter to the boxing gym and he became a good boxer. His character was a good one and had a good development during the film.
Dawn was a great character, a mother who wanted to protect her son of the same destiny of her first son, and wanted to see his dream come true.
And Manuel was same as joda to luke skywalker to Derrick, he trained Derrick and he taught him that the problem with politicians and the parties didn't matter for the sport.

I like the scene when Derrick risk his life to get out his friends of the gym (they were from the green party) of the orange territory, because he were smart and brave to guide them, in the first moment all of the characters were scared but they trusted each other and they survived the persecution by Sin (gang boss of the orange party).

What country I would visit??

Imagen
Uhh.... I need some time to think about it. If I choose a country that I never visit before I would choose Germany. My grandgrand parents are from there, and I think it would be a very good experience, the language maybe would be a problem, but you can always buy a dictionary or a guide in the airport :P. If I choose the time of year to travel there, I would choose winter. Because I think that the better way to see all the touristic things is choosing the uncommon time for tourists. And also, I like cloudy days; my mom told me that in Germany's winter you don't see the sun for weeks, I think that is very interesting :D. But it could be problematic, because it could be a really bad weather, and could be cancelled all the touristic views. Other thing that I'm interested is the desserts, like strudel or kuchen or porridge. (I already tasted it but I want to taste the original ones hehe). I think maybe work there would be a very exciting experience, in a ne...

Learning english in university

Imagen
Hellouuuu :D Yeaahh, this is the last blog of the year :D And the topic of this blogs is...  (insert  drumroll  sound plase) The english program at university. Well, I have coursed the last 2 levels in the faculty, because I exempted of the first ones, so I'm going to talk about levels 3 and 4, but more about english 4. My opinion, in my own experience, is this is a really good subject, because you practice you speak and you listening understanding at the very begining. At school you could speak spanish all the class (except in my 8th grade al school, because my english teacher that time has the idea of "if you are in a english class, you should speak in english", I loved her classes), but here you need speak english in most of the time (only in  emergencies you can speak in spanish or if you don't know how to said in english and you ask to the teacher how to say it). About the system of the class, the listenings, the readings and the blogs, I thin...

The new topic: SERIES :D

Imagen
Hello everyone :D This new entrance is about series, and I'm going to talk about my favorites series yeah :P Well, if you consider some cartoons like series, I have many, but I have a really bad memory so I'm going to mention the cartoons that I saw last time. During last semester I was seeing: Star vs the force of evil, a good cartoon. It's about a teenager   (Star Butterfly)  from another dimension called Mewni, and this girl has a magic wand, but she couldn't control it, so her parents send her to Earth to learn how to control her powers. She was attacked by monsters, but she and her friend Marco Diaz (a normal human) beat them. It's a good comedy, with drama, the typical problems of teenager and some interesting pasts of the characters. Now, the program is on hiatus, so I'm waiting the release of the last season :( Miraculous Ladybug is other program that I see, right now there isn't a new episode, it isn't on hiatus (yay). It's a ...
