Film Review
I'm The stunning must-see drama Crash is the proof that dialogue have not cost the ability to shock our society. Crash it's about a bunch of Los Angeles citizens with separate live that collide in interviewing stories of race, loss and redemption. While the director writes with such a good ear, the actors make seem the characters so real that it make you feel emotional.
The story and their cultural diversity stereotypes is what make the movie shocking, following the characters thinks in a bad way to each other make them do the wrong choices and sometimes doing the humanitarian choice that is not follow a sterotype of a culture instead of looking forward that and look at the person by himself.
Actions shifts between many characters, whose lives collide with each other in unpredictable ways as each other faces their own moral dilemma and tries to deal with the consequences of their resulting desicion made or action taken. As the story it's in his finale it show that every character suffer a metamorphosis, in a positive or negative way depending of the character and their own desicion.
The racism theme is show with honestly and without reservation. The directors is not afraid to show the world how Americans see to each other culture and social class and he make it with such elegance that captivates and shock all of us in some point of the movie.
In summery I give this movie five stars of five for the direction capacity and the stunning performances of the actors. Also the story and the braveness for showing the world the reality of the stereotypes who are given to each culture and race.

Europe Letter Task
12/09/15
Dear Clarence Cross:
I'm sending this message for tell you about how different is the UK culture to ours (chilean of course). Well you were right about this place everything is different to their clothes from their ideologies even the the cars wheels are in the other side is like they try to tell to the world that they are not like the others countries, that they are the greatest country of the world and that's why they are different to us. These kind of thinking is typical of the English people is quite annoying that they think like that way, but whatever they practically own the world right? If I'm wrong we would not be talking in english right now.
You know that people at the UK have the best security system! I haven't seen anything like it! It feels like being at a James Bond movie every time is someone watching me with those cameras all around the city, not like Chile were with a little bit of luck we get a camera at the ATM's pointing at our credit cards code. And the best part of this place is that they don't use grille around their houses! Nothing like Chile were our houses looks like bunkers for all the security system that we have to buy for the thief do not dare to come inside. Even tho their food habits are different, they eat a lot at breakfast and they practically don't eat lunch, but they then eat again a lot at the dinner. I don't liked this habits I prefer the one we have in Chile is kind a more handy.
Well Clarence I have to go, I'm with a little bit of hurry, the UK is so different and we have a lot of things we have to learn about this country, like you told last time " there is nothing similar like the lands England" you were right, at least mostly because I still found some chileans habits better. We have to discuss it later then!
Sincerely, Juan Salgado

TCK song
British are coming- Weezer
I choose this song beacuse it show the hate that Americans, most of them British people born in the Americas, had on the British people for stop the manipulation and extortion by the King in the new world.
The song make me feel kind of patriotic even when I'm not an American (US citizen) and also a hate to them like to oppress over the weak and powerless, in other words a hate over the tirany.
When I listen to the words of the song it make me think that the singer is a patriotic and violent person who could be a racist, because he insult and mocks the British. Also I think that the song is a message to the Americans for keep their traditions and don't been influencie for foreign people.
This relate to me in the way that I don't like to be exploited for the advantages and amenities of other people.
