Matrix & Animatrix

Animatrix are some short films that have a relation with the Matrix movies, they use the same places, the same machines and a lot of the things we get to see in the block buster movies.

In the especific case of the "final flight of the osiris", this short complements the movie because we get to know how Zion was warned about the machines that were destroying everything they could to get to the already mentioned Zion.
We get to know the characters that gave their life to save Zion and how they discovered what was happening and how they warned all of the others.

Some other details are that this short is one of the best because it is one of few 3D ( most of the others are 2D) and therefore it has better graphics and the other detail and maybe a personal one is that the music made by Juno Reactor which is great scoring.

Pixar Article

After reading the article I cheered up a lot, because as it says , when you want something you should never stop until you get it , even if everyone tells you it is impossible.

Pixar has the great mix between great characters that make you fall in love with them, really great technology that let pixar animators to create great hair, water, fire, etc. and even better stories that catches the eye of everyone even you are a kid or not.

People in pixar has such passion and love for their work that it makes it even better so I believe we'll hear "PIXAR" a lot, they have lots of years to go and create new great stories to entertain us.

Billy Wilder :D

Billy Wilder is considered a really special and important person in Hollywood because he is not only a filmmaker but also a journalist, screenwriter and producer and he is one of the most brilliant filmmakers of Hollywood’s golden age. He is from Poland (once Austria-Hungary) and when he lived in Berlin after the rise of Hitler some of his relatives were murdered at a concentration camp.


He is actually naturalized citizen of USA and started with a significant success that was “Ninotchka” in 1933. After this he was known for his film noir movies, that are the Hollywood crime dramas that generally were black and white and with sexual motivation, and he also was recognized because of his battle against Hollywood censorship.


Wilder's movies have a well structured, nice plotting and memorable dialogues. His movie themes in spite of being polemical gave Billy Wilder status and a lot of academy awards during his career. He also has a sardonic sense of humor and he once worked with Audrey Hepburn.


Wilder as one of many things he introduced to Hollywood, he brought to Hollywood filmmaking “Cross-dressing” (the act of wearing clothing commonly associated with the other gender within a particular society) with Marilyn Monroe as one of the characters of his movies.


After his huge success , Wilder complained because he was wetting no work because of his age, despite his complains never ceased, his career ended. After that Wilder never ceased to complain that Hollywood was making a big mistake by not giving him any films to direct. He did so at film festivals, in interviews, on television, and whenever else he had the chance. He often hinted that he was being discriminated against, due to his age. His complaining didn't help: for whatever reason, Hollywood simply wouldn't hire him, and his directorial career ended.

Romeo and Juliet

Choosing a favorite character in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is not an easy task because Romeo is so exaggerated and impulsive that I find him really annoying and Juliet is also too much impulsive that I think is unbelievable and its too much romance and love at first sight for me to handle, so I decided to go for Mercutio.

He is really close to Romeo, a good friend of his, and he is described as the guy who never stops talking and in times he can be reckless and a little bit of a funny character.

He's a secondary character but essential to the play, he gives some action to it and he is the biggest confident of Romeo and he predicts that Romeo and Juliet's love will end up in tragedy.

Even though he is not a main character and he ends up dead because of a fight with Tybalt, I like him because of the way William Shakespeare makes him look like and I feel sort of identified with him because of the talking a lot part.

My Favorite Actor

After the class finished and we were assigned the homework, I discovered I don’t really have a favorite actor or actress, and it was really a challenge to choose one so I decided to pick one of the main actors of my favorite movie. His name, Jared Leto, a 38 old actor who started in a TV show called “ My so called Life” and after that he was practically unstoppable with movies in his list such as “Urban Legend”, “Fight Club” , “Girl, Interrupted”, “American Psycho”, “Requiem for a Dream” with which Leto had a lot of awards nominations, “Alexander” , “Lord of war” where he learned Russian for his role and “Chapter 27” where he represents John Lennon’s killer and despite being vegetarian gained 30kg approximately .

But he is not only an actor, he happens to be the lead singer and rhythm guitarist of one of my favorite bands, 30 seconds to mars, he writes most of the band’s songs and he has directed some of their videos under the name of Bartholomew Cubbins or Angakok Panipaq, besides he is cute at his almost 40 years, so I believe that with so much achievements in his life, he is someone who is worth to be admired.
