Searching for sugar man



Yesterday I found out a bad new. Malik Bendjelloul the director of the documentary called "Searching for sugar man" died in Sweden at 36 years old.

He won a Oscar last year with this beautiful documentary about Sixto Rodriguez, a mistery man who became a rock star in South Africa, but nobody knows nothing about his life. In South Africa he became bigger than Bob Dylan. Sixto was so important for South Africans that he was the soundtrack of the protests against apartheid in the 70's. However was impossible to they, find any information of Sixto in Internet. That was so strange thing, and the reason of Malik to looking for this man in a documentary.   

The documentary told the story of two South Africans searching for their music hero, music hero completely lost. Some of the South african people thought that Sixto died in accident, others, that he kill him self,  but finally they discover incredible truth. This magic film has the music of Rodriguez all the time is like a musical film about your own history . With Sugar man, the most beautiful of Sixto songs and the header of the documentary. 

                                             Malik Bendjelloul, died yesterday at 36 years old. 
                                             A big lost for the film world. 
                                              Sixto Rodriguez, the rock star of the apartheid.

Antibiotics are losing effectiveness in every country, says WHO



According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the antibiotics are losing his power in the combat to diseases in every part of the world. This problem brings to us "devastating" consequences for the public health. WHO said in a release that the world was 'headed for a post-antibiotic era'. 

The antibiotic is a drug who is used for treating biological infections as common like the flu. But at this time, the drugs are failing. The resistance of the new diseases is more powerful and the antibiotic can't protect us.

This problem is something to worry about the future, could affect to everyone, in every place, at whatever age. The WHO said in their release that the common infections and minor injuries that we don't worry about because which have been treatable for decades. Now can kill again.

The investigation of the who notes in detail the resistance of the drug with seven bacterias. This bacterias are responsible for the most serious diseases like bloodstream infections (sepsis),  pneumonia, urinary tract infections and gonorrhea. And they found a high resistance.

The pathogens are everywhere. They were here before humanity. The who says that is a problem that belong to the entire planet, and the science can be together to discuss.

Lars Von Trier, and his "Trilogy"



It's difficult when someone ask me for my favorite film. I see movies every time I can, and always have a new one that I love more, I prefer say what directors I like. In this days I see a lot the movies of Lars Von Trier.  Someone's think that Lars is a genius, others that he is the worst person in the word because in the Cannes Festival he said that the Nazi thought was ok. He always want to provoke people. 
However his films are more sensible. The photography, the screenplay, the art direction are perfect. He always work with actresses, with a heroin who have to pass for a many problems. Once his heroin was Björk. The singer played the rol in a musical of a Czech immigrant in EEUU, that was blind. 

Then he had a new heroin, the french Charlotte Gainsbourg, who played a roll in three movies in the "trilogy of depression". She was the protagonist in "Antichrist", who talks about the hell of a woman that lose her son. Then she works in "Melancholia", a film about the end of the world and play as a woman addicted to sex in the last movie of Lars "nymphomaniac". 

Antichrist and Melancholia are my favorite. Antichrist use the elements of a horror film for tells the history of a couple who retreat to a cabin in the woods after their son died. Gainsbourg turns mad in the middle of the forest and her husband can't do anything. In that movie Gainsbourg wins for the award for the best actress in Cannes.  

Melancholia is a film starring by Kirsten Dunst and Charlotte. The narrative revolves around two sisters in a wedding while a planet called Melancholia is about to collide with Earth. Is very beautiful film in the artistic way.

Sushi, the best one!

I always liked the oriental food. A time ago the Chinese food was the fad, in every corner, in every street you can find a restaurant who offers that kind of meal. I went to the restaurant of "Brasil neighborhood". That was a cute one, you can saw aquariums in there. 

But now Chinese food  is boring me, I change  that for the japonese food. Especially for sushi. Sushi is a meal  consisting of cooked rice and other ingredients like seafood,  vegetables and chicken. I like the ones who are warm called "Tempura Sushi". They have camaron and cream. Very, very good. 

You must now that sushi has a difficulty. You have to eat a sushi with chopsticks, and is very shameful if you dont know. When I was beginner I cant eat very well, and my sushi's fall down to the floor. A Sad thing, dont you think? 

Well you can eat sushi with "wasabi", "jengibre" and "Soya". I dont advise use wasabi, is a little disgusting. First is green and ugly, and the flavor is very strange. 

Sushi can use for share with friends, is funny for eat and  you can cook sushi in very differents ways.

Saint Petersburg


A time ago I read a book called "ST. Petersburg stories"and I love it. The writers talks about the city, so good that you can go one time in your life to Russia. Saint Petersburg is the 2nd largest city after Moscow. It's described as well as its cultural capital. Someone's says that when you travel to this city you can see high art, a beautiful architecture, an extraordinary history and rich cultural traditions that have inspired and nurtured some of the modern world's greatest literature, music, and visual art.

The city was called first as Petrograd, and later Leningrad. This city is considered one of the most beautiful places on earth, because their buildings, the large historic center threaded with canals,  the bridges, etc. Saint Petersburg is a UNESCO World Heritage site, a magical city, with a long list of attractions like their Hermitage Museum that is the most beautiful building.

I hope one day can travel to know Russia, It's a long trip, the climate is so different to Chile, a lot of cold and snow.  And the language so estrange, and unpronounceable.  But I think that worth it.
