“The Matrix Reloaded”, the best movie




When I was a child, I always saw Walt Disney’s movies and I liked them. With the time, my favorite movies were the action ones, for example the 007 agent’s movies, fast and furious, etc.
Although I watched a lot of movies, I didn’t love any in particular, until I saw “The Matrix”. I liked this movie so much and it became my favorite movie. This movie was the first of a trilogy that is composed by “The Matrix Reloaded” and “The Matrix Revolutions”. Then I saw “The Matrix Reloaded” and I liked it more than “The Matrix”.
The last movie of the trilogy, called “The Matrix Revolutions”, had its premiere after “The Matrix Reloaded” and I didn’t like it. I have always preferred the second movie of the trilogy.
The writers and the directors of this trilogy were the Wachowski brothers (Andy and Larry Wachowski). The main character in the three movies, was Keanu Reeves (Neo was his character).
The three movies had its premiere in 1999, 2003 and 2003, respectively. They were the most watched movies in their years.
“The Matrix Reloaded” is the best movie that I’ve seen, because it has a lot of action scenes and a lot of good battles. The effects and the music were amazing. The best three scenes, according to my opinion, were the fight against vampires scene, the road pursuit scene and the fight against Smith scene.
Actually we are in the year 2010 and I haven’t seen a movie as good as “The Matrix Reloaded”.

Visiting Santiago




Santiago is a beautiful city with a lot of interesting places. I can mention La Moneda, Saint Cristobal hill, a Chilean restaurant, Plaza de Armas, Parque forestal, etc.

La Moneda
La Moneda is the government palace where the president works. Actually you can enter to the La Moneda’s courtyards and enjoy taking photos or just watching them. There are two courtyards calling “El Patio de los Naranjos” and “El Patio de los cañones”. You can’t enter to La Moneda’s Halls because there are a lot of policemen watching the entrances.

Saint Cristobal Hill
Saint Cristobal hill is a place that you must visit. You can see it in every place of Santiago and you can see the statue of Virgin María on the top of it. A lot of people visit saint Cristobal hill to do exercise or just to walk. You can find the Metropolitan Zoo in the hill too.

Chilean Restaurant
You can visit a Chilean restaurant to taste the Chilean food. You can visit “El Chilenazo”, “La Piojera”, “El Quitapenas”, etc. There are different typical Chilean food such as “Pastel de Choclo”, “Cazuela”, “Empanada”, etc.

Plaza de Armas
Plaza de Armas is the principal square in Santiago, it shows the cero kilometer and is in middle of the Santiago. You can see the post office building, the cathedral, the municipality, etc.

The Parque Forestal is a long park that covers the side of the Mapocho River. It is a beautiful place that have a lot of grass and trees, is the perfect place to buy an ice cream and to have a good time.

Bullying at school



Bullying is a reality that Chile has confronted the last time. The percent of bullying reports in Chile increase to 57%.
According to the last studies, Chile is the country with the worst times in the schools. Children are exposed to mistreat in their schools and it can be the start of big psychological problems, for example, we can mention stress, depression, shyness, etc.
This piece of news surprised me because I didn’t think that bullying was a big problem, I thought that it was a problem of few people. Now I believe that Bullying is the result of a bigger problem of the Chilean society, the violence. Every day we listen on the radio or watch on the TV news about homicides, murders, theft, etc. It means that the violence is getting the king of our actions.
This is a piece of news that shows the reality in the schools in Chile, a very bad reality. I think that the solution is that the Government take part in the family of problem children and help them with them violence. I think violence in the family is the key of the violent children.
I would like to hear or to watch on TV positive pieces of news, because our times, we only hear about negative piece of news, like natural disasters, tragedies, violence, etc.
I would like that all pieces of news were about good things, because I think that it would change the mind of the people and they were less violent.
