Hero (2002)

Chinese cinema has been always my favorite. The first movie I saw in this area is “Crouching Tiger Hidden dragon”, and I thought it was amazing. After that, I started seeing others, like “The House of flying daggers” and “The Course of the Golden Flower”. But the one I liked the most is “Hero”.

This movie takes place in Ancient China, when this country was separated into seven Kingdoms. A warrior, Nameless, arrives at Qin, to meet his King, who had survived an attempt on his life by the assassins Long Sky, Flying Snow, and Broken Sword. Nameless presents himself with the swords of each of these three warriors who try to hurt the King, and request for a meeting with his Excellency.

This is the topic of the movie; the meeting. Nameless starts telling the story of how he defeats Long Sky, Flying Snow, and Broken Sword. But, in one instance, The King realizes that the warrior may be lying, and then, he narrates how he thinks Nameless acquired the swords. And finally, the warrior relates what really happened.

What I like the most of this movie, is the soundtrack, the scenarios, and the colors the film uses. Each part of the movie counts with a particular color. Red is used when Nameless tell the story; blue is used when the King narrates the story. And white is used for the truth. This colors was perfectly used; in the walls, the clothing, the space, the nature.

The most recent movie I saw was “In the Mood for love”. It is a drama Chinese film, the fist I saw not related to ancient Chine, but in the present. I completely recommend it. The soundtrack, the performances and in particularly the story, is amazing.

Finland. A place of wonders

I think the countries that I would like to visit the most, are those located In Northern Europe; especially, Finland. It is a very beautiful country, not too crowded, with a population of 5.5 million, with amazing views, and you can see the Northern Lights in all his magnificent.

I like this country because is not involved in any political o geographical conflict. It has a very peaceful way of living. The industries established there don’t produce a major pollution to the environment. The climate is very comfortable. And it has a very strong public policy, especially in health care and education areas.

The main university of Finland, The University of Helsinki, is ranked 75^th in the Top University Ranking. That is the place I would like to study any career involved in health care. Also, I would like to work and learn from public policies of this area.

I think Finland offers a very pleasant environment to study, to work and, in particularly, to live. It is pioneer in Public Policies, friendly with nature and foreign people and a very peaceful society.
