THE END OF " AULAS ABIERTAS"

Unfortunately our rulers don't think that the permanent learning through life is a valuable thing. The CEPA "Joaquín Sorolla" in Madrid has been offering English and Computer Technology classes for many years giving the opportunity to learn to hundreds of students who have been hard working and very motivated people. Teaching them has been a real pleasure. The instructions for next course leave these classes apart. We have done our best to convince the authorities of the importance of these classes but there is no money for education in our country now. We are very very sad about it. Adult education will never be the same.


This is part of the group of "English Level 1". We had great expectations for the next course but we won't probably be a group any more. Anyway we'll keep on trying. We won't give up. I promise.

MIKE DELFINO: Mr. Right




This is Mike Delfino (James Denton). He is the perfect husband and neighbour in Desperate Wives. Unfortunately the scripters of the series decided to KILL HIM!! It is such a pity. How can they kill the perfect man? He is perfect because he is a fiction man otherwise he wouldn't probably be Mr. Right...

BLADE RUNNER ENDING SCENE

I heard the other day that Blade Runner ( by Ridley Scott) was filmed and screened for the first time 30 years ago (in 1982). The end of this film is my favourite end together with that of the film Smoke scripted by Paul Auster. The last scene is a deep thought about life and living experiences, about moments that remain and moments that are forgotten. This is one of my obsessions ever: TO REMEMBER!
Both actors, Harrison Ford and Rutger Hauer, are fantastic.
The film presents the city of Los Angeles in 2019. Life is weird there but you learn that humans and replicants have the same worries than ever: LIFE & DEATH and how we face them. It is a magnificent film.
Please: Watch films in English if possible. The real voice of the actors is very important to understand a film deeply.
