the inuit

The Eskimos live in the artic regions of America, Greenland and Siberia. They prefer to be called the Inuit, because Eskimo is a derogatory term that mean «devourer of meat». This people have their origins in the northeast of Asia. Do some thousands of years they crossed the Berlin’s strait for to stay in the north of America too. The Inuit live in the north’s tundra of Canada, Alaska and Greenland. In this zone of the Earth live near of 100.000 persons. The Inuit have a nomad life, they follow the migrations of the animals that they hunt, like the caribous, the bears, the whales and the seals. Of that ones and of others animals they use all the possible parts for to eat, to wrap up and to construct igloos and tools for to hunt, like for example, the whales’ teeth (the Inuit take a whale’s beard and he coils it inside of a fat’s ball, this ball is eaten for a polar bear and when the fat is dissolved in its stomach, the beard stretches and hurt inside, then the Inuit hunter only have to follow the bear until it collapses). Actually, for the strong process of civilization, there is a big chance in their form of life. The Inuit are organized in familiar groups and every member has a specific work. The Inuit are hunter and worker people. In the family, the first-born has always to be a man, for that in the future he looks after and feed to his parents and to the rest of his family (his smaller sisters). And if the first-born is a women, the Inuit abandons the baby in the snow.

Tim Burton was born the 25 of august of 1958 in Burbank, California. Burton began to draw from he was so young, he was learning in the California Institute of the Arts, he studied the animation with a Disney scholarship, where he found a job like animator. He made one’s debut like director with the cartoons’ short, Vincent. The next work of Burton was a short calls Frankenweenie, a imaginative and young viewpoint of the legend of Frankenstein. Paul Reubens saw him and he decided that Burton, with only twenty years, was the ideal person to led his first feature film, Pee-wee’s Big Adventure, Burton was praised for his original viewpoint in this movie and he got a big success, that it leaded to the supernatural Beetlejuice.

After that, Tim Burton has directed a lot of extraordinary films with splendid casts, eerie pictures and fantastic stories. In Hollywood, they admires his originality and his risky work. Tim Burton is my favorite director because he has a very characteristic and funny style. I have never seen a bad or boring Burton’s film and two of my favorites movies are Burton’s films (Big Fish and Edward Scissorhands). Moreover, he always have wonderful actors that they fits in his mad and funny characters perfectly, Helena Bonham Carter and Johnny Depp.

Tim Burton gives to his movies an unique touch that do them very special. I love his films because they always grip me from the beginning and because all his movies have a magic and fantasize side that make me feel like in a dream.
