Sympathy Card To Grandmother

What

Yesterday, the film appreciation course (every Saturday through November), we film Idiocracy, a film that perhaps in other conditions would never have chosen to see. Let's face the film is not good Is it bad? That's not to say I know: a movie that leaves you thinking it can not be all bad.
To explain the plot, the film begins by exposing the argument that more people with intelligence quotient (IQ) has fewer high children and more slowly than people with low IQ, who start having children very young, and do so at higher rates. After that happens to portray the life of Joe Bauers (Luke Wilson ), U.S. Army officer, a type of "average" in all its aspects, was selected for an experiment that was to freeze military for use in wartime but before the deadline one year to complete, the base is demolished and the contenders with their body and Rita, a prostitute who was the female part of the experiment, and end up waking up in the year 2505, humanity found a silly, can hardly communicate, victim of consumerism and unable to solve their own problems.
According to the film, 500 years before our time, natural selection did his giving priority to reproductive capacity rather than the intellectual and humanity lives in a world with mountains of garbage because it is capable of handling waste, does not know how the plants do not grow if watered daily with energy drinks books are read by people only rarely, a large corporation owns the economy, professional wrestling is the president of the United States, and television is so much garbage and outside the home.
I will not to tell you what happens, I really think it's irrelevant (and I do not like having the movies), I want to emphasize is that approach, the way we think is a very likely future, and perhaps closer than five hundred years . Today we live in a society where outstanding student who is disparagingly called "nerd" in which people know more about football than math, where politicians create mediocre laws to protect each other and where being "cool" is measured by the intoxicated at the end of each Saturday.
call people "idiot" is not pleasant, but I think the approach of the film is a timely wake-up call. We all have one fourth of a mile in everything we do. Not a complaint, I hate complaints is only a small nudge to pay attention, that in five hundred years when they discover how to bring back to life I live in the perfect world. Clearly, at this time even the bad is about to die, a clear example "Idiocracy."

Diagrams Of How A Camera Works

Idiocracy taught me to learn from other artists When Cienfue

Cienfue is a particular artist. A Panamanian artist alternative rock that mixes electric guitar with folk music, lyrics with meaning and social criticism. That is different has been given a place at the regional level, becoming a figure usual channels like MTV.
His third album "The Calm and the Storm," which follows "The Disco Culture" and "Macho de Monte Suite" was given by the artist for free download via their website www.cienfue.com. The album, double, contains 20 tracks with collaborations by local artists and his band usual.
The interest lies in the fact that although it is free no longer a quality product. Both components of Calm and The Storm are excellent and the video release of "The Thirteenth" I confirm that what they are doing Cienfue is no accident. In an age where record companies complain about issues such as "piracy" that an artist gives his records, and that creates videos like this has my respect. Hopefully others can imitate.

Tevion Card Reader Drivers

Remember: Film Appreciation Course vol. 9


Tomorrow, Saturday 11 September, starts one of the initiatives over the year and I hope I do not want to lose opportunity to invite. This is the course "Film appreciation organized by fumble, an annual event which has already been developed nine years (I go from the time of the" U ") and also has become, for the duration, on the one weekly meeting of moviegoers interested in expanding their horizons to what see the "big screen".
The course is open, anyone can go and the dynamics are good enough to encourage the expansion of knowledge about cinema. It consists of a preliminary conversation, which lasts about an hour, they explain basic principles of film and different forms of interpretation that can give a movie that is helping us to read between the lines of what we see. According
Alexandra Schjelderup, the brilliant mind behind this initiative "far from turning into a film in an academic exercise, a course of assessment allows travel in all the complexity of the film raising the threshold of enjoyment of what we normally see in our screens. The course is a basic principle: no good or bad movies, only elements to decode. "
As he says this year will see very specific issues with international experts, which tells us not to be missed. Some of the films will be shown this year V for Vendetta, Idiocracy , Lord of War and District 9.
Admission is only $ 3 ($ 2 for students with ID card) and will be held for ten Saturdays from September 11 to November 13 from 9:45 am, in theaters Spain Alhambra Way.
