Perfect Blue: The original "Dark sawn"

When I was a child I had listened about the name of the movie "Black Swan", but my parents said me "You can´t see it, you´re too young". And saying anyone not to do something- it´s the best way to make they do it. So, the next week I was in the house of my friend Rocío watching the movie. For my short age I through: "It´s truly amazing the way they filmed an extreme change of the character just to get an important role in her job. And much she had to loose for just a little minute of fame and. How she could kill herself. It’s surprising how much you can feel though the screen" But I really think the best was the idea of the movie. 

  For a long time I continue thinking the same, but my uncle said that the movie was based on another Japanese movie called "Perfect Blue". I didn´t really trust him, because I was still thinking it was the better movie of the entire world and it was too original, for that reason, so many time has passed until I decided to see Perfect Blue

  I saw “Perfect Blue” this summer, with my boyfriend. At the beginning It has so much colors that I didn´t like it. And...  It wasn´t a "real movie" with real actors, all the characters were draws (like an anime), and it was the story of an "idol", a typical Japanese public figure, who have to wear cute clothes and act like sweet and innocents girls (even if they´re not), they event are parts of music groups... I sincere prefer Natalie Portman as a ballet dancer. But, without talking about the job of the protagonist, the two movies was very similar: The first good girl, who can´t get the role she wanted with only her effort, and have to change herself even at the level of losing the her, and the focus of the film was the same show the psychological change. Even the too movies has the same scene in the tub with the personal character screaming in the water...

After watching the movie, I search information about the two movies. And, actually, Perfect Blue was published at 1997, more than 10 years before Black Swan. The both are psychological thrillers... And the creator of Black swan paid the rights of Perfect blue to make a remake!
 "Perfect Blue" is an unknown movie and the Dark Swan had a lot of awards, I really thing Natalie Portman made an awesome performance, but at the same time I think people should know the movie isn´t the original movie. 


I don´t think of Perfect blue as my favorite movie, because I don´t have one... But, Is a great movie, and is a little more complicated than Black Swan, when I finish the movie they were many thing I didn’t understand... But if you can always see it again or search the explication jajaja

The best concert I´ve had





 The best concert I´ve went was a classical concert of my piano teacher Alexandro Jusakos and her wife: Yvanka Milosevic, who is an awesome violinist. The concert was on 7th of November, in the Auditorium of the city hall in Providencia, the place is in downstairs, at the right side of the build. The concert was special because was a commemoration to a Greek musician, in fact the Greek Embassy support and paid the event after the concert, where the audience could drink wine and taste Greek food, as meat balls, delicious cakes, and many unknown food (at least for us).
 Alexandros Jusakos and Yvanka Milosevic studied in Frederich Chopin University (in polish: niwersytet Muzyczny Fryderyka Chopina), in Warszawa, Poland. Now, they have a foundation:  “Fundación pianos para Chile”, which tries to share the culture and give pianos all along the country.

 When I entry to the auditorium it was full! But I could seat (for luck I thought), there were a lot of important figures I didn´t know  before, but they seems to know each other, and really enjoyed talking. When the concerts started all the room was in complete silence, it really help to have a great acoustic and enjoy the music. The concert has many magic moments, all the notes was passionate and perfect, full of energy but they were so soft too! It was absolute incredible.

The next day of the concert I had an horrible test of anatomy in my university and I had decided I wouldn´t go… (to prepare the exam) but in the last moments I thought “There are no many opportunities to listen my teacher and her wife playing together, and for free!”.  Now I don’t regret, I was one of the best moment of my life.

A country I would like to visit

Since I started studing and playing piano I always wanted to visit Germany, Polonia and Paris. But I´ve always preffer Germany, the country where the classical music born, the country where the most famous musician came from: Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. They´re well know because they changed the music, they has introduced new ways of playing, new styles in concertos and new formats (for example the Sonata) that musician still use nowadays. 

 Out of music, I unknow a lot of things Germany, but I know there are a lots of magical castles, the weather is so cold, and sometimes is snowing! (I really like the snow and cold low temperatures).

If I could stay in Germany, I will love to visit the museums and the theaters, walk along the streets see the buildings and compare how different are they from the ones I see everyday in Chile. 

I would like to study there to learn about the place where Beethoven and Mozart lived, to learn about the culture and the people.
