Story of a life

Once upon a time, there was a man called Tim Lewik. He lived in Heidelberg, with his family. He worked on what he liked most: the cinema. It was the most incredible thing that he had ever found. For him, it was so east to disappear from the world through the cinema...

It was not until 1944, that que hit the ground with his feet for the first time. His son, his only son who he loved very much, died in World War II. You could'n express with milions of movies or words the pain that he felt inside. These feelings, were growing more and more every day, until his life became a nightmare. Every day was hell for him. He wanted to do eveything to get his son back. He could try to revive it with electricity, like Frankenstein or maybe his son was close to him, in his heaven. It was then that he began making spiritual rituals to turn him into how he was. This made him obsessed with everything that was his, which already passed. He couldn't see reality. He couldn't see his wife, or people in general, not even his dog Sparky. 
His wife, Ari Owar, decided to help him as much as possible, but he never wanted help. With so much pain, Ari decided to join him in an asylum in 1947, so that the professionals could help him and try to get his pain out.

There, in the asylum, he discovered many things that he were ignoring. He discovered music, playing the piano and doing it the way he liked it. The way to express himself through painting, knowing well his own art. He found each and every character that had appeared in his films. He saw them beside him, advising him on what to do. His whole life had become a sweet nightmare, an illusion. And it was then that he started writing the script for his next film, after several years out of this world.

After a few months, waking up, he found someone he had never imagined finding in the foot of his bed with white sheets. He was there, watching him and smiling. Those green eyes of his mother, or wife for Tim, with the long hair disheveled. His son. Just as he had falled into a big hole due to the death of his son, in the same way his son got him with these words:

- "Father, you must be strong and go forward. It's taking too long. My mother miss you very much. You have been my whole life for me, literally, but I've only been a chapter of yours. Don't be afraid to express your feelings, father. You have a lifetime ahead and you can fight any obstacle. Make more movies father. Tell our story..."

He closed his eyes for a moment and when he reopened them, the face of his son had disappeared, but not this presence. From the air, he heard "I love you...", and the only answer he knew was "Me too, my son... me too..."

Things have improved a lot for Tim since that moment. He left the asylum and life smile at him again. Because there is always some reason to continue forward, to find happiness. So he said:

-This is the story of my life. I was about to disappear from the real world, but as you can see, I'm still here. I mean, everyone of you don't give up, never. Experience things, and know who you are more and more. People who die, do not go unless you forget them first. They're still here, like a short breath around you. I could say many things, but why? All I need to tell yourself is: I wish you all a long and happy life."

People applauded when the film finished. All with a smile and more sensitive those who were with some tears. 

This was not the las film of Tim Lewik. He made many more and he also bought a piano. Undoubtedly, he lived happily ever after, beside his wife.

News- Johnny and Vanessa

In the language room, I read an article about Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis, his wife.
  • What is it about?
The article explains that Vanessa is worried because Angelina Jolie is very closely with her husband Johnny Depp in the movie that they were recording, "The Tourist". They were very close together.
  • How does it affect you?
It affect me a little, because I love Johnny! (he's my favorite actor).
I hope that he doesn't let Vanessa for Angelina, because they're a great couple for me (I'm a little jealous of Vanessa, but...). Part of this, they have two children, and if they separate, the children will suffer.

  • How does it affect the people around you?
Well, it affects at the people because they're very famous (especially affects at the paparazzies and journalists). The fame seems incredible, but I think that it can hurts too. It seems that you can't be a normal person, and that you haven't got any privacy. (for this reason Johnny bought a island lost to the seas of Caribbean. )


Simply, I hope everything ends well, and that Johnny make more movies! I will see them all!

Where the hell is Matt?



A great friend of mine, Víctor, showed me this video. While I was watching it, and after see it, I was stunned. It's so amazing...

The first time I saw it, I started to laugh: "what is this man doing?!!". But after, you can't stop to see it... for me it's spectacular. When you're watching it, you feel the world is more small, that all we are together, that we all are in the same world. And I'm feel good. People of different places, of different cultures, of different languages... united for the Matt's dance. Simply... without words!
The theme, it's a great idea. Record Matt and other people dancing for the world... It needs a lot of time, but the result it's fantastic!

Moreover, the song's incredible! It helps too much at the video. The song is peaceful, but at the same time it's powerful.

Everytime I see the video, I want to travel a lot... and visit all this places for my own, and why not, dance too. This is another dream of mine... travel a lot. Visit all the world, and take photos about all the things... 

Simply: Congratulations for Matt and the people who have collaborated in the video!

I ♥ New Zealand

New Zealand is an island (well, two islands) of Oceania, that interest me very much.  The land of the maori and of the rugby... I love it since I saw The Lord Of The Rings for first time, when I was 9 years old. The landscapes in the movie fascinated me so, that I started to search about where was the movie recorded. When I found that the movie was recorded in New Zealand, I started to search new things about the country. How that island so away from the world can be so perfect? The country fascinated me more.

After a time, I wasn't obsessed so with New Zealand. But in 3th ESO, we had to do the "Credit de Sintesi" about one country of the world. My first thinking was New Zealand... so I did the work of her. If I thought that this country fascinated me, after do the work I fell in love with her.

So my dream has always been go to New Zealand... and can see all with my own eyes. And go to Hobbiton!! :D (Hobbiton is now an turistic place in Matamata)


 My dream...


And why not, in Mórdor too (Tongariro). There are the black lands, but a very blue lake too.




In this photo is more like Mórdor!

Well, I want to visit all New Zealand. Because all there is special. So when I grow up more, I want to live there.. because I know if I travel here, I can't return... 

I have been talking with the daughter of a friends of my parents, who has been living in New Zealand for 6 months. She said to me that there all is better. Part of the landscapes and the magic of the land, there are more money than here, and you can find work very easily. But in New Zealand the immigration's very controled. You can't live there forever if you aren't of there. You only can if you are married with someone of there, or if you contribute money to the country.
That for me it's a good idea, because as the country's very beautiful, many people would go there, and not all of them would work. So the country would end with crisis (like Spain now).

The exotic animals, the amazing landscapes, all the activities you can do there... wow. Incredible. Also, I loooveee photography! So what better way to use the camera? ♥ Only of think about can do photos in New Zealand my heart starts to beat faster!! For this reason Peter Jackson recorded there The Lord of the Rings... (well, because he's from the green islands too. Man lucky)

Isn't it beautiful? I haven't got any words for describe it...


All there seems so peaceful, so imposible....

In my opinion: New Zealand aren't of this world. It CAN'T be of this world!!

Maoris!

. . . W I T H O U T  W O R D S . . .
only heart beatings.

Summarizing, New Zealand for me it's a great place. I haven't been there yet, but well.. I hope someday I'll see all with my own eyes :) But right now, I can only see it with movies, documentals and photos. And even in that way, I can't stop thinking of New Zealand... I'm mad!
Well, mad no... I only want to fly, fly away from here... And New Zealand is the best place for do that, and disappear of the world. That's my dream.

My 5 favorites movies

I love cinema I think that it's magic. So I'm going to explain my 5 favorites movies.

1. EDWARD SCISSORHANDS.

I love all Tim Burton's movies, but Edward is the most special for me. And I think that's the best character that have interpreted Johnny Depp! (I "fell in love" with him in this movie).

Edward's a lonely man that lives alone in the castle of Suburbia, a little town where all the people are equal.... He was created for an inventor that lived in the same castle. But before could put him his hands, the inventor died, and Edward stayed with his scissor hands.
He has been alone in the castle all the time, but one day, a seller cosmetics, Peg Boggs, went to the castle and found him. She decided to bring him home.

There, all changed for Edward. He met with neighbours, with the society, he started to work of hairdresser, and the most important thing... he fell in love with Kim, the daughter of Peg.

Definetely, for me it's a great story. It's an incredible fairy tale... I love it because it's a movie different of all the rest. It's special, strange... it's... of Tim Burton :)
And I have to say that the Soundtrack of this movie it's incredible... I love Danny Elfman! The Ice Dance makes me cry...

This movie changed my life, I think. After see it, I changed my way of think and the way see the things.

Sometimes, I'm feel like Edward. I know that he is inside me, somehow. 


2. THE LOVELY BONES

This movie is very special for me too. When I'm seeing it, I can't say any word. It's magic.

Susie Salmon was raped and murdered in the 6th December 1973. But she's still be in the earth. Well, she's in-between, between heaven and earth.... he's in her heaven. And there, she can see her family, her friends, her murder...

So she has to give some proof to her father to find the killer, because her mother surrenders...

It's a great adventure in the heaven. All there is so beautiful... I love it very much. Because is like be in the paradise, in your own perfect world... the only bad thing, it's that you're dead.

 This movie makes me cry a lot. Really, I cry more with the films than with the reality. Maybe it's because my reality is the fantasy, the imagination.

I recommend this new movie of Peter Jackson at all the people! (because he didn't do only The Lord of the Rings...)
I love the Soundtrack too...

3. BIG FISH

Another movie of Tim Burton! Sincerely, I love very much his style.
Big Fish is a story of a man... Edward Bloom ( )
He has got all the things that must have a man. (but the most doesn't have it.)

Edward is a storyteller that explains the adventure of his life at all the people. All the people love this story, but his son, William, after all the years of believe in him, he want to hear the true of the stories that explains his father (because all them are very imaginatives and he thinks that them couldn't be true)... But Edward say to him that all his stories are true.

The stories of Edward are amazing and romantics. And all them are reals, but only that he explains it with some exaggerations.


I think that the most impressionant scene in the movie is the final... it always makes me cry! (yes, too.) It's so nice... When Edward die, he becomes in that he has always been... a big fish.
A great final for a great film!

The Soundtrack is of Danny Elfman too, so I love it... :)


4. THE LORD OF THE RINGS.


 Yes, my favorites movies are of Tim Burton and Peter Jackson for the moment.

The Lord of the Rings... uff, what can I say about the Lord of the Rings... It's the most spectacular movie that I've ever seen. I don't like the movies about wars, but this is my exception.It's an INCREDIBLE movie, (with an incredible landscape!! New Zealand... ), with an amazing Soundtrack! (Howard Shore is a master!)

I have got some objects about The Lord of the Rings... the ring, the leaf of Lothlorien, the three CDs of the Soundtrack, the books, the three movies, the videogames, other Tolkien's books, extra maps of the Middle-Earth in home, books about all the things of the Middle-Earth, sticker albums, the sword of Frodo (plastic.) ... and yes, I disguised Frodo at 10 years old!

Frodo was my first love. Platonic love, yes, but well. I remember when I was 9 I was always thinking about Frodo and his adventures in the Middle-Earth. (I've been always freak.)


My dream has always been live in the Shire with the hobbits :)
But as I can't do that, I want to go to New Zealand and live there...

The three movies of The Lord of the Rings are veeery loong... (especially the extended edition,  that by the way I love them!)... so I can't summarized with only a few lines. But well, all the people know the story of The Lord of the Rings... no?!

5. MOULIN ROUGE

An incredible movie! I love the musicals... :)
I like this movie because it has got all the things that I love in a film: music, romanticism and strange scenes. 

Christian was a man that comes to Paris. He was a writter, and one day he met with writters bohemians like him. They wanted write a play and represent it at the Moulin Rouge, but they didn't know how.

So they decided to organize a meeting between Christian and Satine (the most beautiful cortesane of the Moulin Rouge) and so can do the play. But there was a problem... Satine thought that Christian was the Duke, (the man who pays at the Moulin Rouge for convert it in a theatre).
But there wasn't anything to do... Christian and Satine fell in love.

It's a great romantic film, but it's very dramatic too. (yes, I have cried with this film too)

All the songs that appears in the movie are amazing! I love them...


"The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love and be loved in return..."


And that's all. I have wrote only 5 because if I write about all them I would die!
Batman Returns, Ed Wood, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Beetlejuice, Titanic, The Boy with Striped Pyjamas, Spiderman, Sleepy Hollow,  Charlie in the Chocolate Factory, Sweeney Todd, Alice in Wonderland, Corpse Bride, Forrest Gump, Cry-Baby, Finding Neverland, The Lion King, Tarzan... etc, etc etc.. :)
