Second Renaissance

The thing about this short is that i saw it like a kind of introduction to the movie Matrix, so it has a lot of relation with it. It is about how ppl and robots cohabited (the last ones as slaves of the others of course) and how a "rebel" robot killed a human for its own protection (kind of I Robot similarity), and from there a lot of hostility is developed from the group of ppl to the group of robots and viceversa.... in a few words a big war begins (like the one of Terminator Salvation, 'cause some humans are now inferiors and are used by robots in order to be their energy power), and in some way computers or robots end up harvesting humans but by making them sleep in the little pink capsules (seen in the movie where Neo awakes after taking the pill) and by creating illusions of their lifes (kind of... u r not really eating a steak, its the matrix what makes u think u r eating it, but its the same think as oat mill).

Pixar article

About Pixar, I really like the way they focus mainly in the story above everything else (difficulties, the interest of showing-off their skills, etc), and they also remain interested on transmitting the escence and characteristics that are particular of each of their characters in a story.

They also take risks and they make sure to do whatever it is needed in order to transmit their stroy, also they don't change things just because they are too difficult; they truly care about the story and everyone from the outside respect them for doing so, we all know Pixar won't deliver crap.

Another thing is that they hired their employees based mostly in their passion to do what they are good for (and what they like to do: their jobs), and that is also why they are the bests at it, and they continuously improve their works, projects and results.

As Bird says as a last comment "they nurture my story", its what really defines how Pixar works.

Lars Von Trier

He is a Danish film director and screenwriter, among his work you can find films like: Breaking the waves, Dancer in the dark, Dogville, The idiots, The Kingdom I,II , Manderlay, Antichrist, etc.

The characteristic thing about Lars von Trier is that he likes to film stories that are credible, this is why he doesn't care about the use of technical stuff and visual effects. He likes to film with a style very much like “homemade videos” and this usually makes people think that he just rushed filming and didn't cared about the quality of his work; but this isn't true because it is just the style he likes in order to transmit the credible stories that are so typical of him.

He created the Dogma 95 which is a movement based in the less use of technicities, and he even adapt his films as if they were a real interview or documentals; he even includes and uses cuts between dialogues and scenes, as if they were filmed unprofessinally with a home video.

Wathching several interviews of him I noticed that he has the purpose of provoking something in the audience, in order to trigger their thoughts and make them ellaborate their own suppositions; he also dislikes giving orders to the people who collaborates with him (such as actors), because he searches for everything to go with a naturallly comunication that will be reflected in his work; he doesn't allow any preparation or rehearsel before the shoots, and some of the actors that have worked with him say that "you just enter into a room and he starts filming, you make your scene and he reacts to it; after several days shooting you are more open to act by impulse, and feel more free".

He also, with the dark humor he has, says he does't think about the audience when filming so his films can either result a catastrophe or a good work, and he just does't care about what the press may say about him 'cause he has been treated badly by it, and he even likes that.

Paris is better than Romeo

Things why Romeo sucks:

*He is a flirt

*He falls in love easily

*He is very impulsive

Paris on the contrary of Romeo, did the propper thing to do of a gentleman when pretending Juliet and asked first her father, then he let her know his love for her, he treated her well and specially at the ende he was willing to avenge Juliet's dead.

Also I love Paris because on highschool I played his roll on a school's play and I really felt betrayed when I noticed that when I (Paris) went with Juliet's parents to ask for her in marriage, Juliet on the other side was with Romeo in her room... that really made me pissed ¬_¬

So since that moment I started hating Romeo and feeling sorry for Paris, specially because he was just so illusionated with Juliet's love while she was already with Romeo and no one even told him what was happening and he even died fighting for what he thought was right 

Jack Nicholson

Basically i am not what you would call "in love" with the performance of an actor or an actress in specific, but a person i admire a lot for his versatility and the way he can play weird and eccentric rolls, is Jack Nicholson.

The way he gets into a roll is so typical of him that you can rarely imagine another more appropriate. What i mean by this is that when he plays a roll, he gives him a very characteristic and strong personality that another actor could hardly put on.

I also think that he has the physical characteristics (the very very weird smile, cheeky eyes and badass attitude) so typical of him and that go very well with the dark-humor characters he plays.

Another important thing is that he has had the fortune of having played important and significant rolls in blockbusters; so some of the rolls he has played, had become unforgettable: The Shinning, As good as it Gets, The witches of Eastwick, etc. 

Like I said before, i don't really "love" his performances, but i think he does a pretty good job; because every now and then he plays a roll that is planned to be annoying (specifically talking about The Anger Management movie), he really gets into me and makes me hate him a lot, and when that happens it means he has made a good job... even if it means he has to make the audience hate him.
