Malcolm X

Today I will write about the last movie I watched, a biographic movie directed by Spike Lee. The movie is about Malcolm X  and how the racial struggle in the U.S.A. affected his whole life.


The movie starts with the little Malcolm and his family. His father was a priest and his mother stayed at home taking care of Malcolm and his other 3 brothers. One night some nazis from the kkk assaulted malcolm´s fathers and killed him. After that malcolm´s mother lost her children tutory and Malcolm and his siblings were assassinated to different houses. 


Malcolm, was a great student and the only afro-american child in his whole class. Because racism is something that adults teach to childrens all of Malcolm's schoolfellow  discriminate against him because of his skin color. When Malcolm finished the school he wanted to be a lawyer, but his teacher told him that was not a future for him, instead the teacher told Malcolm to be a carpenter.


During his all life malcolm suffers a lot of discrimination, and figth for finish this strugle. Joining and supporting different anti-racial initiatives. But at the end, Malcolm is murdered while giving a speech. 


His life and teachings are an example to follow.

As a child I used to watch a lot of T.V.; normally during the week, the first thing I did when I arrived from school was turn on the magic box. My favourite channels at that time  were Cartoon Networks, Etc... and Nickelodeon.  I don't remember well which series was tuned  in which channel, but my favorites were SpongeBob SquarePants, Rocket power, Ginger, The Angry Beavers, Cat-Dog, Hunter X Hunter, Shaman King and Hey Arnold.  Most of these shows were about the life of some teens and their problems, some of them more related to reality and some of them more fantastic. On the other hand some of the shows are about animals and their fantastic surrealistic lifes. Now sometimes I rewatch some of these tv programs, especially the anime, they are more interesting despite being animated shows. The whole idea that sustains their stories is much mature and developed.

What is your opinion about nuclear power? I think that nuclear power is a very important thing to discuss specialty in the cont ext of the climate crisis. All humanity has to agree in the future ways to produce our  energy. Because fossil energy i s polluting the environment up to levels much over the limit that the whole planet earth can process.  The thing about nuclear energy is that waste that produces this option, is more toxic and durable than anything, so they can pollute a lot. What is your opinion about the immigration situation in Chile? I think that borders don't have sense and no one can really own the earth, this planet is for everyone and everything. As Mapuches thinks, we are just one part of the whole natural system and I don't understand why some people think it is a  problem.  In my opinion it is always good news to meet someone from another part of the world, he or she usually brings a new way to view the panorama. What is your opinion about legal...

Alien in NY.   I think that the best holidays I have ever had was when I finished school and my mom gave me the opportunity to buy an airplane ticket wherever I wanted. So  I decided to travel to New York, because i wanted to visit as many museums as I could.   The whole trip lasted 1 week, I took the plane on December 24th and I returned to Chile on December 31, that was the first time I traveled alone to a foreing country.  I remember that the first day that I spent in Manhatan everything was close because of christmas, so I decided to visit one of my mother's friend, who lives in the suburb. To get there I had to take a train for 2 hours.   The rest of the day I visited most of the famous museums in the city, from the MoMA, the MET, The  New Museum of Contemporary Art, the Guggenheim, and a few more museums with very nice collections.  This holiday is one of my favorites so far because I did whatever I wanted to do. I think that meaby is the best wa...
