Movie Recommendations

Hello everyone,

Today’s blog will be a recommendation of my favorite movies that are based on real events, this type of movie is called "biographical or biopic". I’ve decided to recommend movies of this genre because it’s one of my favorites as they show us inspiring, heartbreaking, and amazing stories that have happened in real life.

Although there are many movies, I haven't seen yet that are probably much better, this time I’ve chosen 6 movies that have had a big impact on me and that I’ve loved.

Lion (2016)

This film tells the story of Saroo, a 5-year-old Indian boy who accidentally gets separated from his family, Saroo has to learn to survive on his own until he is adopted by an Australian couple. As an adult, he does his best to find his biological family with the help of blurry memories from his childhood and Google Earth.

Men of Honor (2000)

The film is based on the life of Carl Brashear, a man of African-American descent, raised in a rural environment, who fights against racism and becomes the first African-American to become a master diver in the United States Navy in 1970.

Loving (2016)

The interracial marriage struggle of a young couple who married in Virginia in 1958 to have their rights preserved. Richard and Mildred Loving took their case to the Supreme Court to denounce a law prohibiting marriages between people of different races.

Just Mercy (2019)

This movie follows the life of the young lawyer, Bryan Stevenson, and his historic battle for justice. Stevenson defends Walter McMillian, a man sentenced to death in 1987 for a murder he didn't commit. While struggling to save his client’s life, the young lawyer must face both racism and the complicated legal system of the United States.

Hacksaw Ridge (2016)

It tells the story of Desmond Doss, a young man who, despite having a strong conviction not to use weapons, he decides to enlist in the army during World War II to become a medic. In the bloody Battle of Okinawa, Desmond manages to evacuate 75 men without even firing a single bullet.

Hidden Figures (2016)

The incredible story of Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson, three African-American scientists who worked at NASA, who were instrumental in one of the greatest operations in history: the launch into orbit of astronaut John Glenn. At the same time, these brilliant women fought for the civil rights of African Americans.

Finally, I would like to make a special mention of other movies that I also think deserve recognition for having a pretty good story, these are:

  • American Sniper (2014)
  • Schindler's List (1993)
  • The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind (2019)
  • Changeling (2008)
  • The Founder (2016)
  • Escape from Alcatraz (1979)

Storytelling festival

Hello everyone, In this last blog I will talk a little bit about my experience doing the storytelling festival. To be honest, before I did it, I was nervous because I was going to "act" and I'm bad at acting. Whenever I have to make a video, I always take a long time because I laugh or make a mistake while recording (Now I have enough material to make a video only of bloopers  😅 ). Despite the mistakes and all the takes I had to do, I liked this activity and I also really liked the result of the whole video. Another thing that kept me nervous was that the story my group and I had chosen was too long. Fortunately, we were able to change it to a shorter and more interesting one. On the other hand, I will talk a little about the things I had to do to play my role. First of all, in order to make the video with green screen, I had to use a sofa cover. Also, since the character I had to play was the chief of the station, I had to wear a black long sleeve shirt, but sin...

Homemade garlic powder

  Hello everyone, In today's blog, I would like to share with you how I make my own garlic powder at home.  To be honest, cooking has become one of my hobbies since the pandemic began.  By watching videos and looking for recipes I have learned to make my own condiments and I consider that this benefits me a lot because doing it on my own, it is cheaper for me and at least I am aware that the garlic powder I am consuming is natural and has no other additives. By the way, for this recipe, all you need is garlic  and the help of the sun. 😂🌞 The first thing I do is peel the garlic. Then I cut them into thin slices, trying to make them of the same thickness. I place the garlic in trays and put them in a place where they receive the sun to dry. (This procedure can be done in the oven, but I will teach you the way I do it. I prefer to do it this way because no gas is wasted). The only disadvantage of doing it under the sun is that it takes at least 3 days for the garlic t...
