Blog 3: The Wind That Shakes The Barley Review
I’m not a “war drama film” kind of person, so I didn’t enjoy that much the movie. However, I can appreciate the historical importance of the story and plus now I have a closed idea of the Irish culture and history.
My favorite characters were Damien and Sinear. I think that the construction of Damien character is very realistic and human, showing his insecurities and doubts at first and then his loyalty and determination, I can relate to those emotions. And on the other hand I’m a big fan of strong females characters, so I really liked the role of Sinear, who gives another perspective to the story and also showed the importance of women in the Irish history.
A thing that I really like about the film was the photography and the locations, I never seen pictures of the Irish lands before, so that was pretty amazing.

My favorite scene was one at the beginning of the movie, when an old lady sings at the funeral of Damien’s friend who died on hands of the British, I think it was really pretty and emotional, just as her voice.

Blog 6: Postgraduate Studies In terms of my postgraduate studies I’m still figure it out because I have more than one option. For example, I would like to know more about gender studies; in fact I’m interested on doing my thesis related to communication with a gender approach or something related to the drag queen culture. Also, I really enjoy writing, so I would love to study a degree associated to creative writing and maybe in the future be able to work as a scriptwriter. And on the other hand, I really like the course that ICEI offer about Communication and Cultural Management. I like the idea of creating my own cultural agency and work on development projects related to encourage Chilean art; so as you can read I’m a little bit all over the place. One thing that I know for sure is that I would love to study anything on other country, but I’m not in a rush so I think maybe I study something here in Chile first (besides my actual career) and then I would make plans to go outs

Blog 10: English language challenges

About my experience learning English at university I think that only four levels to learn the language it’s not enough.  As journalists we need to know how to speak and understand fluid English, to be prepared when we need to spoke with someone who is from another country, because it seems that English has positioned itself as the world’s language. About the use of the blogs I think it would be more useful if we discuss the topics in groups in contrast to writing by ourselves. We would give feedback to each other and we would learn from the discussion and from our classmate’s perspectives. Personally, I think I need to improve my pronunciation and how to conjugate the words. I guess by speaking in English with others it’s the better way to learn quickly and improve more easily my flaws. I know the existence of groups in Santiago that, at least four times a month, get together to speak only and exclusively English to progress with their pronunciation and vocabulary. I would love to

Blog 4: Jimmy´s Hall Review I don’t love the film, but I don’t hate it either. I think the plot is great and knowing that is based on a true story make it more interesting.  And as I said in the last entrance, I don’t know that much about the Irish’s history, so I always appreciate learning new stuff thought a film.   My favorite character has to be Jimmy’s mother. She was so sweet and funny and also she reminds me of my grandmother, specially the scene when she pretended to lose the key so she could help Jimmy escape. One thing that I really liked about the film was all the landscapes and locations. Since the last movie that we saw,” The Wind That Shakes The Barley”, I was amaze by all the green on their fields, a color that I don’t see often in Santiago. In the other hand, I think the movie was really slow and I get lost and bored sometimes. My favorite scene was the contrast between the moment when all the people was dancing and singing at Jimmy’s Hall on opposition to s
