One of my favourite films...“A beautiful mind”


One of my favourite films is “A beautiful mind” it is a movie from 2001 and directed by Ron Howard, starring Russell Crowe and Jennifer Connelly. This film received an Oscar for best film, best director and other nominations.
This is the history of John Forbes Nash, a student of math from University of Princeton and his life after graduating from College who suffer schizophrenia and he believes that he is pursued by the Russian intelligence agency because he worked deciphering Russian secret codes. Besides he got married and he has many problems caused by his mental illness. Finally he decided to continue working and he receive an Oscar.
I watched this film the first time when I was fifteen years old. In this occasion I went to cinema with my friends and we bought many snacks. This was a good day.
I like this film because the story is very exciting and the performance is very good.
Definitely I love it.

The philosopher and politics


Norberto Bobbio was born in Turin (Italy) in 1909 and died in 2004. He was an important intellectual contemporary.
Bobbio studied law in Turin and later he lecture of Law Philosophy in University of Camerino, Siena and Padua.
Besides between 1942 and 1943 he was member of Italian Antifascist Resistance for joining “Giustizia e Libertà” movement he was arrest.
On the other hand he was senator for life and Doctor Honoris Causa in the Universities of Paris, Buenos Aires, Complutence of Madrid, Bologna and Chambery.
Bobbio set up the Socialist-liberal party in 1942 but his most important contribution was in ideological field being some:
• What socialism? (1976)
• State, government and society: a General Theory of Politics (1985)
• Right and Left (1994)
• Neither Marx nor against Marx
• General Theory of Law (1958 and 1960)
• And others
I like Bobbio because is a great political, philosophical and law thinker. Besides I like because he was an important political activist. Anyway I have two books of him that Bobbio don’t write but some editorials published. These are Liberalism and Democracy (2006) and The philosopher and politics.

What is the music for me?


The music means for me an expression tool where any people can express oneself in the words and sound of the music. The music enable manifest against it of a war, discrimination o any idea. On the other hand enable to express feelings for example: happiness, sadness, hate, passion, love, etc.
I first started listening to the music I like when I’m sixteen years old. A friend invited me to his house and we listen to music and I liked.
I like because I express my feels and ideas about the world, entertain me and I can share with my friends.
My favourite band is the Red Hot Chilli Peppers and my favourite song is “Dani California”. The song is about death of a young pregnant woman called Danielle California from Mississippi and her hard life. Besides I like the song “She’s only eighteen” and “Californication” of the Red Hot chilli Peppers too.
