LEVEL 3: Post 5 (Week 9) A photograph you like

Unthought happiness

At the middle of june during 2015, just like the mayority of the country I was supporting to the chilean soccer team which was facing the Copa América here in Chile. I had some meetings with friends to watch the previous matches until semifinals. Everything was great because I had never seen the national team reaching a final match. Sometimes I like to read about the history of soccer and since my childhood I always dreamt about Chile winning something important. I am a fan of the local team Cobreloa, but this province's team is almost dead (by several institutional reasons, anyways), so the only hope I had was "La roja de todos".

A few days before the final match, I received a funny and mysterious call from my cousin, I remember this:

-"Hi, David just let me ask you something, but you just have to answer the question, don't ask me back "how did you do..." or something like that".
so I say
-"ok what's up?".
- "I have tickets for the Copa America final, do you want to go with us?"
and my answer was obvious...
- "yes!"

After that, I just waited with all my illusion that historic match of Chile againts Argentina. I was so happy because I never imagined to be there that day actually. When Chile won the trophy we took a lot of bad photos because of the poor light in that spot, but anyways, I rescued this one because it shows to the world that I was really there in that unforgettable moment for chilean soccer!

PS: The famous "33 miners" from copiapo were next to us watching the match, hilarious! 

 

And of course I demanded the Farkas' Chilean flag!

LEVEL 3: Post 4 (Week 9) The best movie scene ever

Koyaanisqatsi 

I like all about visual effects and more if they are applied to arts. Perhaps the scene that I feel like the best movie scene ever is unusual because is a whole movie performance. Let me explain it: "Koyaanisqatsi"(1988) is a protest and critical movie about the bad effects of postmodernist life on nature and primal life.

This film was thought as a sort of audiovisual mosaic. It was used an edit where are mixed images from pollution in the cities with images from virgin and natural environments. The particularity that I like the most is the music composed by Phillip Glass because it helps to appends the sequences and creating a great atmosphere of chaos and criticism about how modern life is destroying our homeland, the Earth.

I understand this film as a profound vision about our times. Indeed, "Koyaanisqatsi" is a word from the Hopi language which means "world outs of balance".

A good moment in the movie is when a man drives a car in the middle of the city and the images are accelerated so they look as if he was amazingly fast. Great scene for sure. 

This is the movie trailer
