Paris, Je t'aime

Elena and I wanted to watch this movie because Vera likes French cinema and Elena was slept when she went to see it in the cinema (it doesn’t mean that the film wasn’t interesting). So after of many attempts, we got to watch it. Fine.

Paris, Je t’aime narrate different stories about love, from different points of view, that they happens in Paris.The 18 stories are directed by different directors, like; Olivier Assayas, Gérard Depardieu, Gurinder Chadha, Joel and Ethan Coen, Isabel Coixet, Alfonso Cuarón, Alexander Payne, Daniela Thomas, Oliver Schmitz, Gus van Sant…

Vera: Directed by Isabel Coixet, my favorite story has been a story about a man that he wants to separate of his wife, because he is in love of an other women (Leonor Watling). When his wife said him that she has cancer, he decides to face to the circumstances and to stay with her. Then he rediscover his love for she. I like this story because it demonstrates that when the situations get worse, they can have their positive part, in spite of you think that everything were lost.
Elena: One of the stories that I prefer is about a vampire woman fell in love of a boy (Elijah wood) and she is unable of to eat him. He try to keep her cutting his veins, but he doesn’t get it and he die. She save his life converting him in vampire.I loved this story because as I like books about fantasy romance, I know the importance of she doesn’t eat him.

For us this film has meant a lot, because we wanted to see it from long time and because all the stories have transmitted us something. And it has attracted us for its different points of view of the different directors, we think that this is a very complete form to see the love.

La vie en Rose

San Francisco

After a long passage in car from Las Vegas, by Yosemite National Park, Death Valley (and almost to die dehydrated) and also by a charming town called Sausalito, by a lot of Moteles (like Little miss Sunshine), we arrived to San Francisco.
Hours and hours of car had compensates.
We entered by Golden Gate, although we were crossing it to 80km/h, was possible to be appreciated all its espandor, not only because are red, for being one of the more famous suspension bridges, and their spectacular structure.
We already were in San Francisco! An incredible city, couldn’t compare it with New York, with any other either, each one has its enchantment, but San Francisco…
Maybe, the only one “problem” are many homeless that live there. San Francisco always has been a very liberal city, where “hippie” begin moving, and people began to take flowers in his hair.
Even observing homeless, it could even be appreciated free that San Francisco was, the police in any case threw to them of where they were, they lived in calm, without house, but with calm, and that transmitted something to you that I couldn’t explain.
Surely i’m pretentious, but after walking by the district hippie, the Victorian houses (called thus by Victoria’s Queen), Lombard Street (bend’s street)... i’m unable to express all this without putting pretentious.
Though we were only two days, we could make many things. We took walked by it raised streets, walking, in “tranvía” and “trolebus”.
We visited the greater Japanese garden of the world, we sailed by the bay of San Francisco being able to close by see the old prison of Alcatraz. We were also in the Chinatown, greatest of the world (other time, je je), though personally impressed me very much the NY’s Chinatown.
Really, San Francisco is an incredible city, and would return there without doubting it.

New York

At 4 am of 20th July, we went to Manises airport. It was too early, and there we met Guillem and his parents. We took a plain to Milan, and there we took an other one to New York. When we arrived, we went by taxi to Manhattan, 47th street with 7th avenue. We visited 5th and 7th avenue, where there are a lot of shops; Tiffanys, M&M's official shop... Manhattan is a very important disctric of New York. We didn't almost exit of Manhattan. We also went to Central Park, the entry where John Lennon was kill. There are a mosaic in memorie to one of the best music of the history. Central Park is very very very big and very impressionant and beautiful and and.. :)

In Central Park there are a lot of baseball matches. In USA they have an other accent, more difficult at the beginning to understand. We visited Coney Island, where there was and old fair. We crossed to Brooklyn by Brooklyn bridge at dusk. Very beautiful. We navigated around Manhattan with a boat, we view The Liberty's statue, a lot of very important buildings and Manhattan in the night. We went to Chinatown, and I bought a funny t-shirt for my cousin, Pablo. We went to Greenwich Village, to Gospel mass where we met Susana, a friend. It's possible that I forget parts of the travel, because the travel is very long, and all the places that we visited were fantastic. [ In other entry mooore information of USA :) ]
