AT CINEMA OR AT HOME


If you are really having a hard time thinking what the best is, going to the movies or watching a movie at home the next lines can help you. Maybe you are one of those people who prefer going to a cinema and enjoy a dark and crowded auditorium and can listen to the movie as if you were in there or maybe you prefer staying at the comfort of your home, where you do not have to make a line in order to buy the tickets, where you can choose whatever movie you want and the best of all you do not have to pay for it. 

The first difference is the kind of movies you can watch. In a cinema you have limited options to select, most of the times there are only six or seven movies to choose, of course they are the newest options and if you do not watch them that time, you have to wait until they are in a video club, moreover if you watch a movie at home, you can rent one and of course the number of options is huge, on television you have a limited number of options, but you can rent one and the problem is solved, so the best decision you can make is to watch the movie at home.
 

The second difference is quality. In the movies the sound quality is better than at home. A cinema has a complex system sound, intelligently placed to give the spectator a great experience, but I have to say that the image quality is not very good, most of the times the screen in a cinema is very dark. At home you have a great image quality and depending on your television it could be even better. The only point against watching a movie at home is the sound. Of course your television can not reach the volume in an auditorium but that is not so important so the best option is still home.
 

The last difference is the cost. Going to the movies can result expensive sometimes, because a single ticket can cost from 50.00 pesos, even 100.00 pesos if you decide to watch a 3-D movie. Besides if you want to buy some popcorn and some soda the cost considerably increases. On the other hand, if you watch a movie at home, of course it is for free. Television offers good movies or you can borrow one movie from your friends, even if you rent one it is cheaper. Regarding the cost, watching a movie at home is the best option.
 

As a conclusion, it can be said that watching a movie at home is better than going to the movies because it is cheaper, the quality is better and you can choose any movie you want. The important thing here is to have fun watching a good movie no matter where.

REVIEW "1973"

“No matter how hard you try, you´ll never get it”
“1973” is a movie within the documentary genre. It was directed by Antonino Isordia Llamazares who is famous for his movie “Los niños devoran lobos”. It won the JVC prize for best director and it was nominated for best picture and for best documentary in the “Arieles”. Filmed between 1994 and 2003, the movie tells the story of 3 people who were born in the same year: 1973.
Rodolfo a “Porro” tells us his story through the hard way in order to become the leader of “Porros”. Mafer a disturbed girl, marked by the death of her father when she was just a child, and finally, Alejandro a troubled guy who has a deep bitterness  against his family, that bitterness led him to commit a dangerous decision at the end of his story.
The movie is poor regarding to with the technical aspects. It is very slow at some parts, the director does not really say to the viewer in which point the stories are related. However, the movie is a good critical about the reality of the Mexican society, and anyone who likes harsh stories should watch this movie.
