ulaluna

Ulaluna is a young girl that she belong to the tribe of the Litoga lake, a tribe of only five families, that it lives in the north pole’s region, away from the civilization. Everything was fine for Ulaluna until the morning of the big change, Ulaluna was playing with her friends and she was swept out. Ulaluna appeared in a rare earth, away from her home. From this moment she is meeting different and estrange people while she looks for the return’s way. This is a very entertain book, because it has a lot of short capitols and in every capitols she find a new and interesting adventure. I am reading this book because it is one of the books that Vera has recommended me and she has lent me (together with The violet diary of Carlota, I asked for this book to Vera because I have read The red diary of Carlota and I loved it) and I’m very happy for that because I am enjoying with the return to home of Ulaluna. I like that every capitols give you something about to think with a funny and fantastic form to see, though every this things are took of the reality. And I think that is genial the form to interact with the different characters, it has remembered me to the story of Alice in wonderland. This is a very interesting book that it is teaching me something new with every stories. Ulaluna is a book written for Jesús Ferrero, though he says that " She is the unique and really author of this book, I only made a note of Ulaluna dictates to me, in a place calls imagination."

paris je t'aime

Vera and I wanted to watch this movie because Vera likes French cinema and Elena was slept when she went to see it in the cinema (it doesn’t mean that the film wasn’t interesting). So after of many attempts, we got to watch it. Fine.

Paris, Je t’aime narrate different stories about love, from different points of view, that they happens in Paris. The 18 stories are directed by different directors, like; Olivier Assayas, Gérard Depardieu, Gurinder Chadha, Joel and Ethan Coen, Isabel Coixet, Alfonso Cuarón, Alexander Payne, Daniela Thomas, Oliver Schmitz, Gus van Sant… Vera: Directed by Isabel Coixet, my favorite story has been a story about a man that he wants to separate of his wife, because he is in love of an other women (Leonor Watling). When his wife said him that she has cancer, he decides to face to the circumstances and to stay with her. Then he rediscover his love for she. I like this story because it demonstrates that when the situations get worse, they can have their positive part, in spite of you think that everything were lost. Elena: One of the stories that I prefer is about a vampire woman fell in love of a boy (Elijah wood) and she is unable of to eat him. He try to keep her cutting his veins, but he doesn’t get it and he die. She save his life converting him in vampire. I loved this story because as I like books about fantasy romance, I know the importance of she doesn’t eat him. For us this film has meant a lot, because we wanted to see it from long time and because all the stories have transmitted us something. And it has attracted us for its different points of view of the different directors, we think that this is a very complete form to see the love.
