Favourite movie

Grave of the Fireflies (Hotaru no haka, 火垂るの墓) is a japanese animated drama film produced by Studios Ghibli, and directed by his co-founder Isao Takahata.
It was released at the same time with "My neighbor Totoro", in a double premier on 1988. Althought the movie wasn't released in the western world till 1994.
This film is based on the autobiographical story (with the same name) of Akiyuki Nosaka, published on 1967, this talks about the experiences of Nosaka during the war.
This full-length film is set in the city of Kōbe, in Japan, during the second world war.
It tells about the difficult times that lives two siblings, called Seita y Setsuko, and their attempt pf survive in this hard period.
I didn't know so much about the cast, It's a animated film so I wasn't interested on this part, but I will tell you their names.
Tsutomo Tatsumi's voice was for the protagonist Seita
Setsuko's is Ayano Shiraishi, who was 4 years old at this time. Studios Ghibli recorded her voice first and then animated the scenes, something they don't commonly do.
Akemi Yamaguchi lent her voice for the siblings' aunt and Yoshiko Shinohara did it for their mother.
doctor's voice is Hiroshi Kawaguchi's.

I watched this movie two years ago, on january, I think. That because my little sister is a big fan of japanese amination. She's watching animes and japanese movies all the time, so she received a pack of studios ghibli's movies as gift from my parents. And a pair of weeks after Christmas we seized the television and started to saw them.

I love movies that removes something on yourself, that makes you think about it, and makes you feel something, and this movie totally done it. The film showed the harsh reality of a war, even when it was an animated film.
The history was so sad! I were all the time thinking how would it be if something like this happen closely to us.
I have to say it I cried, and a lot, the movie was so powerful! And meanwhile I was thinking that this was the saddest film in the world  my heartless sister laughed at me.

The best concert I've had

The best concert I've had attend it's the only one too (until now).
It was a concert of a Korean boy group that I listen a lot.  The name of the band is Seventeen. They are 13 boys in a group! It's the largest number of members in a Korean group until now. They are divided into sub-units in accordance with the specialty of each member. So there are 3 sub-units: Hip-Hop, Vocal, Dance. They are so adorable and happy, and unlike other Korean bands the write and produce every song.
The concert was on Movistar Arena on August 29th, the last year, and it was sooooo good.
I have to say it, attend wasn't easy, I spent all my savings to pay the tickets for me and my sister. I walked a lot searching for the tickets too because they were sold out in many of the points of sales. I was 11 hours outside Movistar Arena, and I was studying! because I had to take a test the next day.
I think I have never run so fast, we were 11 hours outside so when the staff opened the doors we were just interested in find a good place to see Seventeen. When we were in I was so excited, everyone was singing the songs (because the staff put some videos when we were waiting) with a big smile on their faces even when the concert hadn't started. I don't know how to describe how the atmosphere was... it was just incredible, everyone was so so happy, jamming every song and screaming with all they had, that it feels really good.
I'm a big fan of k-pop and I had the opportunity to go with my sister and one of my best friends, that's why I think I enjoyed so much.
 I arrived my house at 3 am, and I was dead, I had no voice.
PD: I approved the test if you are thinking about this:D

A country I would like to visit


I always wanted to visit Italy. I think It´s a place with a lot of history.
We learned about the European history in all de middle school, and for that reason, we are familiarized with the origins of this continent. A lot happened in Italy. This country is one of the protagonists of the history. That's why I want to go someday.
There's a lot of places I would like to visit in Italy. Obviously the emblematic ones, like Pisa's tower, the Colosseum, Venice canals and the Fontana di Trevi. I would take a lot of pictures there.
But I would really enjoy too visiting museums and every library that I could find. I really love to read, so I think if I have the opportunity to travel I will spend so much time in libraries in the country I'm visiting.

Colosseum


Fontana di Trevi

Masks






Something I really want to see in Italy is the Venice's Carnaval. This celebration is so colourful! The people get around with strange suits and elaborated masks. It's something beautiful.
The masks are the most important part of this holiday, I would definitely use a funny one.
I have to confess that I don't know so much about Italy's universities o work opportunities so I'm not sure if I would like to study o work there, but I think it's a beautiful place to live. In that case, I would have to find a work anyway.
