Post 4: My Favourite Movie

When I was around eleven I saw the film Mad Max II on cable tv, ever since that moment it became my favourite film. I kept watching it renting it a few times on VHS. I just loved the idea of a chaotic apocalyptic world, something completely new to what I saw accustomed to. The film's vision of the post-nuclear-holocaust world seemed desolate and brutal, also action-packed and sometimes funny. I found it really original, entertaining and I liked the special effects. Mel Gibson who played the main character was very convincing and cool.

When the new Mad Max came out it totally blew my mind. I saw it in the cinema with my family. It was a great sequel, the special effects were stunning the climactic chase sequence unbelievably well sustained and I couldn´t get enough of it.  I´ve  always preferred watching science fiction movies that make an impact on me.

Some other favourites are Blade Runner, Pulp fiction, Trainspotting, The fifth element and Borat.

The most recent film I watched was a Tarantino movie “Reservoir Dogs” on my Cell phone on Netflix, when I was with insomnia at five in the morning. It was quite good and funny most of the movie deals blood bathed violence.

Post 3: My Favourite Book

When I was younger I was very interested in Greek Mythology and remember buying a big book all about them. I could say that was one of my favourite books. Generally speaking I am not very keen on reading since my career makes me read non stop. So I try to avoid it in some way. Since I am studying Law I have to read many academic books that are not related to literature. So I can not really remember the last book I read which must of been at school. Although I can say I quite like J.J.R. Tolkien as an author. I enjoyed reading "The Hobbit" and the" Lord of the Rings". Even though it is a child's adventure book it is so well written and imaginatively portrayed, I remember it was a pleasure to read.

When I have the chance I would like to read some books that have been given to me for my birthday; Jorge Baradit's book "La Historia Secreta de Chile" and. Fernando Atrias "La Constitución Tramposa". I also liked reading Kafka´s "Metamorphosis" and Ernesto Sabato's book "El Túnel".

These books have changed the way I see life in some aspects.

Since I´m not a enthusiastic reader, I can´t recommend any books apart from the ones I have mentioned.
