OITNB: The machism's wrecking ball

Two years ago I was boring so I open up Netflix and started looking for something to see. I was recently finished Gossip Girl and althougt the plot is a little bit bad, the art work is really good. So I was trying to find something femenine but with content and Orange is the new black came to me as a key. 

Orange is the new black was created by Jenji Kohan and have three season, 13 awards and one nomitaion to the golden globes. This serie is about Piper who was condemned to one year in womens prison for transport drugs for her ex girlfriend drug cartel. She was about to get married with Larry (Yes, a man) but the past come over to destroy (or save) her life. The serie is about her facing the prision, but also about the other inmates stories and the stuff that works on it. All get to the climax when Piper realize that Alex (her ex) is an inmate of the prision.

The reason because i love it so much is because portrays the reality in to womens world, facing every kind of themes without taboos. Lesbianism, abandonment, mistreatment, abuse, drug addiction and menthal health are some of the themes that are treat in the serie. The other thing a i like is that every inmate have a reason to be there, they are not bad people, they are there because of a bad life or bad desicions that came to their minds because of the things that had happened in to their lifes.

Orange is the new black have a lot of fans a round the world and no, they aren't just feminsm womens. We are on an anthropocentric time and we are changeing the way to think about the gender and the way our society talks about body. This serie is a big help to bring down the machism and install a new form to see us as equal, taiking care of us and being comprehenders insted of giving punishment to the one we don't understand.

The art of light

When people see scenic proposals ussually don't notice that many of the greatness of the show is given to them through the visual work. A good visual work can take a regular show and raise it. On of the parts of the visual scenic work is the illumination of the space. For me, this is the most important because whit out light we are blind.

My favourite lighting designer is LeRoy Bennet. He has worked for the most famous bands around the world and for the biggest shows too. His speciallity is television shows always related to music and arts. The Cure, David Bowie, Prince, Madonna and Beyonce are some of the artists who he has worked with.

In to his illumination work the lines are always a constant and the special capacity to create an entire atmosphere with only lights is one of the things that i like the most. One of my favourites works of him is the one with Nine Inch Nail. LeRoy Bennet worked whit them at the Tension Tour and did an amaizing job creating this scenary where the tension come to us all the time.

Other show that i love of him is the one he made for the Beyonce's Superbowl. There he explore a new kind of technique playing with the synchronization and the shadows, making for every song an scenary that fits perfectly.

Having a brand is the most important thing for an artist and LeRoy Bennet do that perfectly. In every work he has done we can see his name written all over. No matter the variety of artists he has work with he always stand up and bring something new to the scenary getting people amazed all around the world with his silent but extremly necesary and beutiful work.

Let me shit

A Collusion of the main toilet paper companys was recently discovered. In year 2000, the multimillionares that control the industry of how we clean our ass chicks decide that they wanted to take advantage of the overriding that toilet paper is to us, and raise together the value of the product. But in 2014 the prosecution decided to work a little and started an investigation for this fact. 

Although it's seems completly insane and selfish to take advantage of something so important to the people, this is not the first time that something like this happened in Chile. Years ago the pharmacy industry and the chicken industry did the exactly same thing, taking advantage of the grandparents and the poorest people of the country that are the ones that consume greater amount of chicken, because of the price of it. With all this facts on the table, we must wonder how many other businessman are doing the same thing, playing with our money and trust.

Raw for the best

Assuming the fact that music is an essential thing for the soul, I´m going to talk about the unplugged music. That disconnected way of making sound, that brings all the freshness and cozy feelings that an acoustic guitar and a good voice, accompanying with some drums, makes an special version of single song that we ever heard. Once I heard Zac de la Rocha, frontman of Rage Against The Machine, saying that the best songs come to life in to an acoustic guitar, and that rawness is what an acoustic session brings to the table.

World Wide the most famous acoustic sessions are the one produced by MTV. By the 90´s being invited to make one of those sessions was a sing of recognition. Remered for all is the 1994 Nirvana's Unplugged, where they play less popular songs, inmediatly those songs become the mainstream song by Nirvana. Also they inmmortalyze a raw version of The Man Who Sold The World by David Bowie.

 The chilean band Los Tres was the first latin american band that was invited to do an MTV Unppluged. To me, one of the best it's Soda Stereo Unplugged. Musica y confort para volar becomes to be one of the last works by the band, and shows some of the best works by Gustavo Cerati. The version of La Ciudad de la Furia, Accompanied by Andrea Echeverri, is the climax of the presentation. 

Here in Chile we have La Vitrola, a proyect that have 5 years old now. There bands and soloist have the space to show some accoustic singles. Gepe, Prehistoricos, Pedro Piedra, Niño Cohete and much more have songs filmed by La Vitrola. My favourite video of La Vitrola is Profundidad de Campo by Dënver. The Sunset falling in to them faces, and the country hugs them while singing one of the singles of them Fuera de Campo Album.

Expecting to be end soon

My academic status is anything but normal. I'm in the 3rd year of journalism, but last year I decided I don't like to study (or to do anything related) that. In my mission of finding a new destiny I decided to continue the studies of jornalism just to be able to take some subjects on arts faculty. I fell in love with stage desing and now i'm taking half my subjects on journalism and half my subjects in arts faculty. I know it seems crazy but i'm doing this because it is the way I choose to change my study plan, so now i am stuck doing some sacrifice so next year I can study what i really want to.

Knowing my sad story there's not much to say about what I expect of my semester. I´m hoping that end soon so I can really get in to what i want. Despite all of that i want to make sure my time is being used worthy, so I'm absorbing all the knowledge that I can because I´ll never know if what journalism school is teaching me is going to be usseful in the future.
