Gladiator


During my life, I saw many movies. When I was a child, I saw movies like “The Lion King” and “Dragon Ball Z” or “101 Dalmatians”. Then, I grew, and I changed my types of movies, and in the year 2000 I saw the best movie for me, “Gladiator”. I was about 11 years when my parents invited me to the cinema to see “Gladiator”. I didn’t have many expectation of this movie, but I liked it very much.

“Gladiator” (2000) is a movie set in the Roman Empire’s time by Ridley Scott and with Russell Crowe, Joaquin Phoenix, Connie Nielsen, Djimon Hounsou, Oliver Reed and Richard Harris in the principal role. This film won The Oscar to Best Movie of the year.

This is the story about a General Roman Maximus, friend of Imperator Marco Aurelio that were betrayed for the ambitious son of Imperator, Comodo, who killed his father and he took over. Maximus were converted in slave and then in gladiator, where he fight versus others gladiators and finally he fight versus Comodo, the Roman Imperator. This movie is fantastic, it haves a perfect set, and the story is really exciting with a touching final, a recommendable movie.

James Marshall "Jimi" Hendrix


To me, guitar is synonym for Jimi Hendrix. He’s considerate the best guitar player of the history of the rock. I was a child when I knew a Jimi Hendrix and his music, and I remember that I was hours listening his songs.

He was guitar player, singer and songwriter. In the year 1992, He was introduced in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and in the year 2004 the magazine Time put him who the best electric guitar player of the history.

He was born in Seattle in the state of Washington on November 27, 1942. His first years, he lived in a poor suburb and he had a bad childhoood. Hendrix enlisted in the Armyon May 31, 1961, because he had problem with the law.

Jimi, with two musicians créate the band The Jimi Hendrix Experience. They made three albums before disbanding the group, but hendrix, continued and was presented at Woodstock with great success.

Early on September 18, 1970, Jimi Hendrix died in London under circumstances which have never been fully explained

Jimi Hendrix to me is an example of effort and work. He was a perfectionist in his work. I would like be him, that is why I admire Jimi Hendrix

The music for me



For me, the music is the best discovery of history. With the music, I can relax me. The music is very important for me, defines my personality. I use music to travel, study, sleep, and even think.

When i was a child, i had cassette recorders of children’s films like the lion king or dragon ball z. Then I received my first cd, the “Japiagüer” of “Los Mox“. From that moment, I never left the rock. With music I opened my world and I discovered groups like Metallica or Iron Maiden, become a fan of this musical style.

I like the rock, “metal”, grunge and sometimes i hear punk. My favorites bands are Metallica, Iron Maiden, Pearl Jam, Rush, AC/DC, Nirvana, Los muertos de Cristo and Fiskales Ad-Hok. I have attended all the concerts of these bands, less Rush, than no yet comes to Chile. I enjoy these concerts, and no matter the price, the only important is to go.

Well, i love the music. greetings
