Yesterday I watched a Spanish film because my mother forces me to watch it because she said that it was a great film. I didn’t want to watch it because I hardly ever like Spanish films but this was one of those I really like. It's a prison film directed by the Spanish director Daniel Monzón. The film tells us a story of the prisoner’s rebellion in a Spanish jail.
The film starts when Juan Oliver arrives to the jail. Juan Oliver is a married man who is going to work in the jail; he is married with Elena and they are going to be parents. He allegedly started working in the jail the day after but he goes a day earlier because he wants to make a good impression. He arrives to the prison and two guards and he do a tour of the jail. During this tour something fall on Juan’s head and let him unconscious so the two guards take Juan and lay him on the bed of one empty cell, the cell 211. Meanwhile, Malamadre (one prisoner) hurt one guard and he starts a rebellion. The two guards aware of the violent situation fled and leave Juan unconscious and hurt in the cell. When Juan Oliver wakes up he takes stock of the situation, he needs to seem like a prisoner to survive. So Juan Oliver starts to take his shoelace, his rings and his necklace off. Suddenly a prisoner comes in the cell and sees Juan and he brings Juan to Malamadre, the ringleader, because he doesn’t know him. Juan says to Malamadre and all the prisoners that he is a new prisoner. He says to them that he killed a man. Everybody believes him, and Malamadre nickname him calzones (because he wears ridiculous pants). Juan not only is believed but also Malamadre takes him under his wing. Malamadre discovers that in the prison are some ETA members (ETA is a Spanish terrorist group) and take them as hostages so they can negotiate with the police if they want something. Meanwhile a security guard of the prison phones Juan Oliver’s wife, Elena and he says to her that she needs to go to her home and he’ll tell her what happen to Juan. She becomes very nervous and goes to the prison. When she arrives there are a lot of people, the family of the prisoners, shouting at the entrance of the jail and a lot of TV cameras and journalists. In the prison the prisoners are aware of what is the situation outside the jail, because they are watching their family shouting at the entrance. Suddenly the jail police go outside and beat a lot of people, they hit Elena too and Juan watched it on TV. Elena dies and so dies their baby and Juan becomes very furious and agresive. Juan says to Malamadre that he wants to see the man who killed Elena, Utrilla an important police. So some time after Utrilla goes to the prison and says that Juan isn’t a prisoner and Juan kills him. Suddenly the police go into the jail, beat the prisoners and stop the rebellion. Juan dies but Malamadre doesn’t, he defends Juan till the end, although he knew Juan was a police, because they became friends.

SHUTTER ISLAND
Last night I went to the cinema with my friends. We went to Kinepolis (a cinema of Paterna) because it's our favorite cinema, it's perfect. The seats are really very comfortable (they are like a sofa), the screen is kilometric and the popcorn are really nice (although they are very expensive).We watched Shutter Island, a thriller based on the 2003 novel of the same name by Dennis Lehane. The main character was Leonardo Dicaprio, I looooooooove him, he is one of my favorite actors. The film was really fantastic, I recommend it to you.
In the film Leonardo Dicaprio is a private detective called Teddy Daniels. He goes to Shutter Island, a very important mental hospital situated in an island, with his partner Chuck Aule to investigate how one of the patients was able to escape of her cell. The patient was a woman called Rachel Solando who had killed her three children some years ago. The doctor John Cawley, the head of the institution, says to the detectives that Rachel thinks that she is still at home and her children are still alive. Teddy says to doctor Cawley that he wants to see the files of the mental hospital, but Cawley refuses.
That night Teddy dream with his wife, who died in a fire, and she says to him that Rachel is still in the island and also is Andrew Laeddis, the man who started the fire where his wife dead.
The detectives question the staff and some of the patients (one of them says to Teddy that he has to run out the island), but they can’t question Rachel’s doctor because he is on vacation, so Teddy goes angry with the doctor John Cawley because he thinks that he doesn’t want to collaborate with them. After question the staff and the patients Teddy and Chuck go for a walk and Teddy explains to Chuck the real reason he took the case: because some time ago he met one person who was in Shutter Island and he said to Teddy that in the mental center they experiment with the patients, and it was horrible. When they return to the mental hospital Rachel Solando was in her room, some doctors found her near the lighthouse of the Island. Teddy starts to question Rachel but she doesn’t answer to any of his questions. After that he tries to reach the lighthouse because he thinks that was there where the doctors do the experiments. But he can’t reach the lighthouse and he arrives to a cave where he found the real Rachel Solando. She explains to Teddy that she wasn’t mad; she used to work at the mental hospital but one day she discovered that they want to control the human minds with their human experiments and they locked up her. She also says to Teddy that they have drugged him and he will die.
The day before Teddy Teddy finally makes him to the lighthouse and finds Cawley waiting at the top. Cawley says to him that he was Andrew Laeddis. He killed his manic depressive wife after she killed his three children and he invented all this fantasy where he was a hero, not a murderer. He has been under the care of the man he thought was Chuck, his partner, for two years. Andrew (the real name of Teddy) starts to remember everything. Finally when the doctors think that he is back to reality, Andrew starts to fantasize again, so the doctors decide that they have to prepare a lobotomy for Andrew. Finally he says to his doctor that is better to die as a good man than to live as a monster so Andrew is aware of the reality but he can’t live with it.

JUNO
Yesterday I watched again one of my favorite films: Juno. I love it because is really very funny (the screenplay is fantastic!) and the subject of the film is up-to-date.
This film talks about Juno's life a sixteen year old teenager. The film starts with an image of Juno, drinking and drinking Sunny D, and an armchair. She is looking the armchair because she made love with a friend on it. Juno is worried because she thinks she is pregnant, so she's drinking tons of Sunny because she wants to produce enough pee to do another pregnancy test (she did another pregnancy test before, but she thought that the first test is not very reliable). When she finishes drinking all the Sunny, she goes to a store and buys a pregnancy test, but the result is again positive; Juno is pregnant. After this, Juno calls her friend Leah and tells her her problem. Leah helps Juno and finally Juno decides to terminate her pregnancy. Juno goes to Bleeker's house (Bleeker is who slept with Juno; her best friend) and tells him that she is pregnant and she wants to have an abortion. He says to her that he respects her decision. So the day after that Juno goes to interrupt her pregnancy but finally she decides not to abort. She goes to see Leah and tells her that she has changed her mind and she wants to give up her baby in adoption. So they start to look for the perfect couple for her baby and finally they find it. Then Juno and Leah go to Juno's home to tell Juno's parents (Well, Juno's father and the wife of Juno's father) that she is pregnant and she wants to give up the baby in adoption. Her father says to her that he will go with Juno to meet the parents-to-be of Juno's baby. So the day after they go to meet Vanessa and Mark. They live in a posh neighborhood and they have a big house. They talk about the adoption and they agree that Juno will come to show the couple the ultrasound scan of the baby and they agree that they won't send Juno any pictures of the baby (because Juno doesn't want to).
In time Juno starts to strike up friendship with Mark because she shares with him her pleasures. They both love rock and terror films. Mark starts to remember his life after being married with Vanessa; he misses this life.
Juno is still in love with Bleeker but she doesn't want to admit it and she ignores him; so she breaks Bleeker's heart. But when Bleeker doesn't invite Juno to the graduation dance and invites Katrina, she feels very jealous and she gets angry with Bleeker.
When she is about to give birth she goes to visit Mark and Vanessa; Mark was alone at home. He tells her that he is going to break up with Vanessa, and Juno gets angry with him. Suddenly Vanessa gets home and Mark and she argue. Juno comes out the house crying and writes a note for Vanessa. After that she goes to her house and she speaks with her father about love and she realizes that she loves Bleeker, so she goes and she reveals her feelings to him.
Some days after, at Bleeker's athletics competition, he realizes that Juno isn't in the grandstand and he realizes that she was giving birth so he goes to the hospital with Juno. Juno and Bleeker don't want to see the baby because they feel that is Vanessa's.
Finally Vanessa has her baby, a boy, and in the baby's bedroom wall is hanging Juno's note which says: "If you are still in, I’m still in. Juno"

EASTER!
This Easter I'm staying at home, because my friends and I didn't organize anything for these days, however I'm enjoying my holidays. Last week was the "Semana Santa Saguntina" (Sagunto’s Holly Week) so in Sagunto there were a lot of processions of Semana Santa, the procession del silencio, procesión de los caramelos, the procession del calvario... it's a nice week (it isn't as nice as the Sevilla's Holly Week, but is nice and exiting), although I'm not believer.
This weekend my friends and I went to ride our bikes, and we went to different villages around mine. On Saturday we went to Montanejos. Montanejos is a beautiful small village, it has a lovely landscape. We rode our bikes around the villages and then we went to a small river of Montanejos which water is hot. We go here sometimes because is a lovely river and you can enjoy a bath in summer and in winter as well (although when you finish your bath in the river in winter you go freezing). After swam in the river we returned to our village. On Sunday we went to Santo Espíritu (It's a beautiful area of my village; it has a beautiful monastery, a camping, and a picnic area as well). Some of our friends were sleeping at the camping of Santo Espiritu so we caught our bikes and went to visit them (It’s hard do this way by bike because we had to go uphill more than 20 minutes). We had lunch together. We cooked (well, they cooked) a paella (It was nice!) and then we went to play cards in the tents. After that my friends and I went to one of my friend's house and we watched a film. We watched my favorite film, Bridget Jones' Diary. I really love this film, it’s perfect. I read the novel and the film is very very similar. It's a funny story with a very funny main character. The starring is great! Specially Reneé Zellweger and Huge Grant (I love them!).
The film tells the story of a woman called Bridget Jones’. Bridget is in her early thirties, she smokes and drinks a lot, and she is worried because she’s still single. Her mother is worried too, so she always tries to find a man for Bridget, always rich men. In one of these intents she meets Mark Darcy but she thinks he is a “boring jerk”. She works in publicity and she fantasizes with her boss, Daniel Clivert. Bridget starts to flirt with him, and they finally start dating. One night, Bridget go to Daniel's house and finds out that he's infidel and they break up and Bridget give up her job, because she doesn’t want to see Daniel Clivert again. She starts to look for a job, and she finds a job as a reporter in television. One day Bridget returns to meet Marc Darcy and he confesses to Bridget that he likes her like she is. Bridget notices that she doesn’t hate him, she loves him. Finally Marc and Bridget start a relationship. In the second part of the film they got married, it’s a lovely end.
After watched the film we had dinner together and then we went to one pub of my village. We got drunk and we returned home.
Today I think I’m going to do some homework because I haven’t done anything these days. It’s going to be a funny Monday!
