Unveiling of the film academy 2017

There are likely to be Trump’s remarks, some reference to last year’s white Oscar, 
but nothing more patriotic and American than the festivals, La Land is interesting, but 14 nominations tell you what in fact Hollywood is very American, as not to remember the famous Hollywood musicals? It’s good, yes, but not so much.
Like this La Land equaled Titanic in 1997, and Evil in 1950, in central nominations as Best Picture, Best Director (Damien Chazelle who has won two Golden Globes), Best Actor (Ryan Gosling) and Best Actress with Emma Stone .
Behind the musical, there are 8 nominations and the drama Moonlight: Under the Moonlight, Science Fiction “The Arrival”, and then Manchester by the sea with 6 nominations and we have already said that it is not all this.
Still in the Hollywood style could not miss a war film, Mel Gibson’s “Until the Last Man” and a modern Western like “At Any Cost”; As for the dramas, are: “Stars beyond Time”, “Lion: A Journey Home” and “Fences”, which is one of my favorites along with “The Arrival”.
Meryl Streep, who in the Golden Globe where she was honored in honor of Donald Trump, hits a record with 20 Oscar nominations (only won 3) as best actress for her role in “Florence: Who’s That Woman?”.
Also noteworthy is the Englishwoman Isabelle Huppert (“Elle”) (first photo above), who should not take, but I am in her fans, along with “The arrival” (right photo),
Viola Davis has already won the Golden Globe Award for best supporting actress, could win again, but is likely to go to Naomi Harris (“Moonlight: Under the Moonlight”) (pictured below), the other nominations being: Nicole Kidman (“Lion: A Journey Home”) and Octavia Spencer (“Stars beyond Time”) do not deserve it.
Perhaps Star Wars (“Rogue One: A Star Wars Story”) (pictured below) has a special effects consolation prize or sound mix, fans were expecting some more indication.
In animation Trolls had no indication, maybe Moana: an evil adventure might win, I went to watch with children who found the language a bit difficult, the others except Zootopia, who has something different, “My life of zucchini”, “The red turtle “And even the funky” Kubo and the magic ropes “is nothing special.
The award will be here a month, February 26 and will be presented by Jimmmy Kimmel.
Golden Globe 2017

The awards began with smaller prizes, one of the curiosities was later came
the award for best supporting actor: Aaron Taylor Johnson of the film Night Animals, then better series actor and TV dramas, Billy Bob Thornton for the Gollath series, best actress of series or musical for TV: Tracee Ellis Ross of the series Blackish and for best TV series Atlanta, best actress of the series that counts the trial of O.J. Simpson, Sarah Paulson.
After little series or film for TV, the series People x OJ Simpson, Trace unexpectedly received the prize of, composers of soundtracks Moonlight and La la Land were expected and La Land won, it was a barbada, since Justin Harwitz (first picture) did a good job, and best original song again La La Land, by Justin as well, but which was received by the ensemble, having received better actor in comedy or musical film: Ryan Gosling and Damien Chazelle (second picture at center) received the award for best director and best scrip /photography.
Gradually the best actress award and best director was revealed, and the best supporting actress already seemed to indicate a different path in this award, the deserved Viola Davis, since best director for Denzel Washington and best film for Fences were not in the nominations, And justice was made received the award for best actor.
Best animation was Zootopia, with a message about diversity, and although the criticism indicated this personally, Moana and Trolls (which was not indicated) seem better to me.
Best Foreign Film Elle by the director of the Netherlands: Paul Verhoven.
Best actor in the miniseries went to English: Tom Hindleston, who starred in The Night Manager and Clarie Floy for The Crown, which won best drama series in the sequel.
La la Land was the big winner leading the 7 nominations, while Moonlight (Picture above) who won only best drama movie was the deception, in the Hollywood glamour and the ironies and jokes with Donald Trump, who already reacted saying that she would be Hillary’s mistress.
Books to I read in 2017
27
Dec
I already have 2 books in my stack: Spheres I: Bubbles by Peter Sloterdijk and
Truth and Method (Wahrheit und Methode), the work of Otto-Hans Gadamer of greatest impact, where he tries to answer Heidegger’s question: “Where are we when we say we are in the world?”.
In Bubbles, the first of the Spheres trilogy, Peter Sloterdijk, just published in Brazil, offers a philosophical-existential inquiry to the question question of Heidegger, but also says about man and his relationship with his fellowmen and his surroundings, from the notion Of “intimate spaces” like “bubbles”, are we stuck in “bubbles” that are our “closed” circles?
Motivated by the economic climate, self-help must give way to more “psychological” books and alternative health issues, perhaps you can read two of the best-selling lists: psychologist Angela Duckworth’s work for educators, athletes, and even businesses, Where it indicates talent, it takes passion and perseverance for conquest: Claw – the Power of Passion and Perseverance, is already well sold and can bomb in 2016.
In the line of health care, the well-known Drauzio Varella gives signs that will bomb now in the books: Word Of Doctor – Science, Health And Lifestyle, where he gives tips of very recent discoveries of medicine and says how to take good health, without “fads”.
Of course there can always be surprises, someone better to explain the confused global situation of turning to patriotic and populist conservatism, new questions about ecology and someone who points optimistically toward the future.

What was good to read in 2016
26
Dec
I talked a lot about books about Hermeneutica, the Other and issues of politics
and ethics that bombed in 2016, but there are less “dense” and equally good books, they are easy readings that can help a lot of people, the first one is by Mario Sérgio Cortella : Why do we do what we do? Short, cheap and very interesting.
What does the pleasure of everyday life take away from us? Lack of time for everything? Do you have a purpose for life? Seems self-help, but it is not, it is a very practical philosophy book, without “theories”.
Cheap and very simple is also Anxiety and Self-control, from the well-known and brazilian famous writer Augusto Cury, gives important tips on the stress of our lives and how anxiety is generated, I liked it mainly because it demystifies the fact that it would be too much or too much information, the problem Is “self-control”, we do a lot in the momentum.
My third place is in reverse order, because I always need deeper books was the girl on the train: audacious and very intelligent, tells the story of Rachel that every day trains to London, one day she follows a couple and discovers that the Young is missing, goes to politics and tells everything, ah turned movie yes, it’s what was in the poster, but did not see, the author is Paula Hawkings, she changed as I see my day to day and the people next door.
My second place is Peter Kreeft, it was a discovery almost at random, but it did me very well, he does philosophy Socratic fashion, this is dialogue, I read the Best Things in Life, see my post, and Socrates meets Hume, there are others to read.
The first and last on this list was Edgar Morin’s book: Where Does The World Go? The book is old, but this 2016 turn to nationalism and conservative thinking seemed timely, according to François L’Yvonnet’s preface, Morin “resists any blessed reconciliation or optimism” and proposes a “planetary humanism, An awareness of ‘Homeland’ as the community of destiny of origin of doom ‘(be my post and the following).
My stack for 2017 is ready, but events always divert my reading.
Is Star Wars worth seeing?
19
Dec
Rogue One: A Star Wars story, the newest movie in the series is making its debut
on Brazilian screens, the story is pretty simple: the Alliance is formed to try to steal the plans of the Death Star and bring new hope to the galaxy, right here On Earth we need it.
I went to see, had the first expectation that it is not an isolated episode, Princess Leia that holographic broadcast reappears, the already anticipated participation in the Darth Vader trailer, but there are new characters like the Imperial robot K-2SO: a reprogrammed cyborg that speaks everything that comes to his mind, reminds one of the world of politics?
There is also Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones) who grew up under the care of the rebel and daughter of the death star’s chief engineer, alongside Cassian (Diego Luna) an Alliance spy, Chirrut (Donnie Yen), a blind warrior who believes In the Force with a religious fervor (impresses even though not a Jedi), Baze (Wen Jiang), protector and partner of Chirrut, and Bodhi (Riz Ahmed), a former pilot of the Empire.
I was watching the 3D version, the special effects really are worth it, Roque One has more action for fans of the genre, Wars actually for now was not exactly war, having more “terrestrial” approaches, being more daring and technically better done.
If this was not clear in previous films, the film “more terrestrial” is because there are scenes that reminds of D-Day, the invasion of soldiers on European beaches (of course in the space film), and also some scenes reimply to the conflicts of the East Medium, well to the global war standard of the American warmonger vision.
Perhaps this praise is also a criticism, but only for those who do not imagine that it has always been behind this series and other American warmongering, but ideology aside, the film is worth, as promised the best of the series.

And now Trump won?

The world is watching something that for many was unbelievable, wrote
the Spanish newspaper El País: “The politically inexperienced tycoon, who represents a leap in the dark, won from Hillary Clinton, veteran in politics,” the French newspaper Figaro compared The departure of the United Kingdom from the European Community and Le Monde in addition to comparing the brexit stated: ” If the vote for Brexit (the departure of the United Kingdom from the EU) on 23 June was an earthquake for the European Union, the Donald Trump’s election as head of the United States, the first military power, is an earthquake for the world. ”
Most analysts prefer to expect something of the kind that will make it different from what they said, build walls with Mexico, would be a new wall of shame, expel immigrants en masse, prohibit the entry of Islamists into the country, and create trade barriers are mostly illegal measures .
The economies have already reacted, but the world’s largest power will be able to isolate itself economically, countries will prefer to trade with Europe and China, Japan has already announced a meeting of its economic team, it will take almost two months to take over, but The consequences have already begun.
Saying that it will bring back the jobs of the consumer goods industries is silly, the world has already changed, what exists today is a spread of manpower and services, many concentrated in China at low cost, around all Planet and closer to emerging countries.
Latinos and immigrants go to the United States to work in low-skilled services that Americans generally reject, and mechanization of the countryside will not bring much labor into the countryside, the conservative South is traditionally occupied by families who migrated a few years ago and Most are regularized as American citizens.
For our part, we will continue to fight for a world of solidarity, religious tolerance and greater brotherhood, economic equality continues a horizon far, but the number of people and people who demand greater equality is a growing voice on the planet.

Now in its 75th. Edition continues to be a good indicator for the Oscars, since it is more than one month prior to the industry award, it is more respected however, because it is an independent award, without the power of money and the film industry.

Trump not triumph

The world watches shocked insults, intolerance and disrespect for 
humanitarian minimum standards: acceptance of diversity, ethnic-racial respect, overvaluation of financial power, sexism, etc. and incredibly Donald Trump has chances of becoming the president on major world power in the West, who will stop him?
Hillary Clinton used personal emails to deal with strategic American affairs, although the FBI has softened the issue, stating that there is nothing “illegal” in these e-mails, the fact reveals two embarrassing questions: there is no privacy in emails and personal issues that can affect countries, economies and wars can be made by an individual person.
The evolution of the election data that begins on Monday and ends tomorrow, but the determination there is slow, it may be accompanied by Haffington Post data entry, data that can be customized, showing an advantage of around 4% for Hillary Clinton.
Among the custom data, you can for example choose the subpopulations the independent data where there is a worrying growth Donald Trump in recent days, but the FBI statement that there is nothing illegal in the emails, did Hillary grow back.
Until tomorrow voters vote in the US elections have started and many have already voted, approximately 25% and ends tomorrow, people with awareness of the national and international conjuncture expect Trump not triumph.
1 year Mariana (Brazil) tragedy

A village of 600 people, which was part of the call route “Royal Route” in the seventeenth century, which had monuments and churches of cultural value, on 5 December last year was swept by 62 million cubic meters of mud, so off the map Bento Rodrigues, ten deaths and an ecological tragedy.
The wave in eleven minutes devastated Mariana seven districts, also contaminated the North Gualaxo rivers do Carmo and the Doce River, still no signs of any recovery, and whose waste has reached the Holy Spirit and the sea.
Samarco mining was little known to the local population, but was considered successful model, and associated with a joint venture of Vale do Rio Doce and Anglo-Australian BHP Billiton, was 37 years old at the site.
In 2014 the company had revenues of 7.5 billion reais, with a net profit of 2.8 billion reais, but the company’s stock and worth plummeted and soon to Andrew Mackenzie, BHP Executive land in Brazil, and the chief executive of Vale Murilo Ferreira, and his colleague Ricardo Vescovi de Aragão of enterprise Samarco, tried to erase the negative image, but without success.
There are still doubts as ecological restoration, the role that regulatory agencies of the Minas Gerais State and the Brazil Government (Dilma in this time) exercised because today appear documents with evidence of the possibility of tragedy, a document spoke including that the death toll could reach 19, eighteen, it’s amazing the accuracy of the forecast.
One year later there are still shadows on the real culprits, besides engineers Samarco and the government monitoramente also the recovery of fauna and flora, the compensation of the affected follows in slow steps.
