Strange Nightmare

In the last days i have a recurring dream.
In this dream I’m in my apartment playing the guitar, alone, with anybody. Just me, my guitar, and my bed. And I’m playing “here comes the sun” of George Harrison, when suddenly all my strings begins to disappear, and my voice is getting worst with every strophe I sing. It´s very strange, because the light begins to getting dark and my room bigger.

In the dream I try to escape, but is impossible, the door is getting far away when I run to it, and my speed is very slow. It´s like running in the moon, without the force of gravity.
I’m always awake in the instant when my hand touches the door, and I never know what happens next.

Many persons describe my dream like a metaphor of me escaping of the dead, because I was close of dying three years ago in a hospital because a strong fever I had in that moment for a internal infection. But I think in another significance, very different of the other. I believe this dream it´s the metaphor of my actual situation, the fact of trying to play the guitar like George Harrison. I will never going to play like him, and my tries of doing that it´s only a stupid thing.

We Can Work It Out

Life is very short, and there's no time....

Like The Beatles song, this term is very short, and we haven't enough time. Two months are very few for all the contents and classes that we need, especially if you study “Cinema and TV” and you must to make a “Pilot episode” of a TV Show for the University. My expectations there aren’t many.

In this term i took five subjects: Investigation, Production of Cinema and TV, Costume Design, sound’s post-production and TV workshop. But in the other hand i have a lot of parallel activities, like sports and a musical event for the education. For all of these reasons, I haven’t enough time to do everything in good conditions.

One of the most problematic points of this term is the holydays that we have on the last month of the year in the way. It’s going to be a problem because I have a lot of friends who lives in other places, and they probably will not do it.

But like the Beatles song says, we can work it out!

Death of a Loyalist Soldier

Are you prepare to see a person dying?
The next photograph I’m going to show you is very violent, because it’s the precise instant of someone dying. It’s not recommend for sensible persons, so you decide if you want to continue or not.




This photograph called “Death of a Loyalist Soldier” was taken by Robert Capa in 1936 during the civil war of Spain. The photograph takes the precise moment of a bullet entering in the head of a soldier, and caught his dead. For many photographers this is the best war photograph of all times, and the most famous too. But like every controversial photograph, this one it’s object of a debate of many professional photographers who doubts of his veracity.
Finally in 1996, sixty years later of the event, was proved the veracity of the photograph, and was recognized the person who appears dying. He was Federico Borrel Garcia, and he has only 25 years old.
Robert Capa is very famous for his war photographs. He was participating in a lot of wars, like the Second World War and Vietnam, and in all of it have famous photographs. It’s one of the most important photographers of the history, and has a lot of films and documentaries about his life and career.
The composition of the photograph it’s amazing, and it’s a lesson for filmmakers and photographers about how to compose a picture. It’s a perfect example of have a great eye for these things.
I like this photograph because it’s the most powerful proof of the violence of wars, and it’s the most emblematic symbol to fight against the violence. Like a filmmaker I think this is the best photograph of all times.

Macbook Pro 15

Hi Everybody. Are you a fan of Macintosh?



I'm going to start saying i love the “Apple” mark. This summer, with the money i save in holydays working, finally i can buy the new Macbook Pro. It's very useful for a student of Cinema and TV, because it’s a very good computer to edit videos.
This kind of Laptop is complicated at the beginning, but with practice, is very easy and fast to use. With softwares like “Final Cut Pro”, “After Effects”, “Color” and “Soundtrack pro” it’s a monster, because works perfectly, and that is the big difference with a Window computer. It never get crashed.
It’s a very good computer where you can do everything like Laptops, but faster and better. It’s very expensive, but it’s a good inversion, because this computer can you use it for a long period of time.
I use my Macbook Pro always. To watch films, write and read emails, edit my films, listen music, and for a lot of things more. I recommend to everyone who study Cinema, TV, and design to get it. My life change when I get it.

PS: I invite you to listen my radio show "24 Frames" in this link http://www.podcaster.cl/category/radio-juan-gomez-millas/24-frames/

Me and Bono

To start, I need to say the music is very, very, very important to my life. If I listen a sad song I cry, if I listen a happy song I dance. But today I’m going to talk about a big moment of my life… when I become a friend of Bono.
Bono?, yes, Bono, that singer of U2.
I need to confess, I hate U2, I don’t like their music. I Listen classic rock, like The Beatles, Queen, Mammas and the Pappas, and a lot more. But U2 don’t cause me anything. I like the rock of 60’ and 70’ and a few bands of the 90’ like Soundgarden. I enjoy the music of Radio Futuro.
The last Friday I was invited to the concert of U2 and Muse with the invitation of Rene Castro, the couple of my mom, and the best Chilean friend of Bono. I enjoy the concert because the scene and the show was fantastic, but the music was really boring. After that I went to a private party in the hotel W, when I knowed the band of U2 and Muse.
I’m a big fan of music, but I never buy cd’s, I download the music I like, because I don’t want to help the music industry.
A special meaning song is “Two of Us” of the Beatles album “Let it Be”. With that song I become a friend of a lot of people three years ago, and now we are biggest friends.
In my hobbie time, I play the guitar and bass, and compose songs.

The music is very important in this time, but nothing will be so great like the moment when I become a friend of Bono.

My sad life

I was born in the U.S.S.R when the berlin's wall falled. I come to Chile with my family to found a best home, and sadly we found a lot of allergic people here. I am allergic to elephants, so i was happy, because in Chile you only can find elephants in the zoo.
When i was four years old, i discovered Checho Hirane, and inmediatly he was converted in my favorite celebrity ever. "Humor Prohibido" it's my favorite book of the human history.

My teenager history is very sad. When i was dancing for the first time with a women, i started to dance like a mad monkey, and with my hand i beat her so strong in his head provocating his fall to the floor. After that i never dance again.

My life is sad, very very very sad. I don't know what to do right now. I hope Checho Irane and Meruane comes to save me like Superman, and go to the end of the world with them.
