GRACE & FRANKIE!

Hello beautiful people, a new week, one more day, what have you been doing? Have you seen anything new? My girlfriend hooked me with a tv show that breaks all the parameters of the series that have been broadcast in these years.

Grace & Frankie is an original Netflix American television comedy released on May 8, 2015. The series was created by Marta Kauffman and Howard J. Morris and stars Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin.

SYNOPSIS

Grace is the retired director of the cosmetics company she founded and Frankie is a hippie art teacher. Their respective husbands Robert and Sol are partners in a successful San Diego divorce law firm. The lives of the two women become more complicated when their husbands announce that they are gay.

The two women leave their own homes and are forced to live together in the beach house that both couples bought years ago, now they must deal with their divorces and how to advance to the next chapter of their lives.

CAST

Jane Fonda-Grace: An independent woman with a business, with an ideal life but without happiness, she does not like to share her feelings and is seen as hard and cold.

Lily Tomlin-Frankie: Free, hippie, a soul full of love, with very strong convictions and ideals, she is an artist, she can be seen as Grace's counterpart, but also as her support.

Sam Waterston-Sol: A relaxed man, lawyer, a free soul too, in love with life, even though he knows what he wants, he can be insecure at times.

Martin Sheen-Robert: He is who has the most character and temperament, can be seen very cold and authoritarian, his marriage to Grace was always seen as a business.

Hand in hand with smart scripts, innovative themes and a cast in which chemistry and good vibes reign, Grace and Frankie is one of the most celebrated original productions of the streaming giant.

And although it never falls into cynicism, the show is not afraid to tease the “new age”, the assembled families and the stereotypes of progressivism. Furthermore, it shows the problems that mature women face in a world that prefers youth and superficiality.

It seems to me that one of the successes of Grace and Frankie is having a perfect casting, which is recognized by the public and critics. The series has received seven Emmy and one Golden Globe nominations, and its secret seems to be that they all get along well.

One of the most important things about this show is that it passes the BECHDEL test; For those who still don't know what it is and what it consists of, it is a system to assess the gender gap in movies, series, books, plays and other cultural products. It was popularized with the comic "A caring lesbian" by Alison Bechdel, although the invention of the test is attributed to Liz Wallace, a friend of the author.

What is important are the requirements established to create an equalitarian story:

1) At least two female characters with their own names must appear.

2) These characters have to talk to each other at some point.

3) This conversation must be about something other than a man.

Without a doubt Grace & Frankie is one of the most feminist shows of this time, it reinvents itself day by day, giving us a look at what life is like after 60, what are the fears, pleasures and dreams of an older person, this characters deal with the stigma of age, how difficult it is to try to break the paradigm and continue living as always when half the world tells you that you cannot do many things because you are old.

It's worth looking at and having a good time with each chapter of this awesome series.

XOXO Li.

YOU SHOULD HAVE LEFT!

Hello beautiful people, happy Thursday!! how's that quarantine going? are you enduring it?

Today I'm going to tell you about the recent film by Kevin Bacon and Amanda seyfried called "You should have left".

It's an American psychological horror film, written and directed by David Koepp, based on Daniel Kehlmann's 2017 book of the same name.

Kevin Bacon plays Theo Conroy, a retired millionaire banker who lives by, listening to a kind of self-help guru who tries to calm him down in what appears to be outbreaks of anxiety, impatience, or jealousy, often accompanied by brutal nightmares.

This film can be a mix between Hitchcock and Kubrick, it has good drama, you could think about the toxic dynamics and their repercussions within the family nucleus, you realize that although it seems like a relatively happy family, each one has their problems and secrets, and who think that a vacation away from the city can remove such problems?.

So one thing I notice is that the big star of the movie, in addition to Bacon and Seyfried, is the house itself, a sleek modern construction that has little to do with the country setting near a village in the mid-Wales surrounding it. And the house, shows its tricks at the outset: what we see is not what there is and to understand how to move in there, it may not even reach with a square or a tape measure.

In my opinion, the acting was excellent but the plot was normal, this type of movie is one of those that always makes you think "what's really going on here?" a theme that seems to have most of the psychological thrillers. But it lacked more content to make it solid, at times it felt confused, rushed, and lacking in depth.

By the way, it gives you some warning signs for an AirBnB, choose the house well when you travel, hahahahaha. On the other hand, I loved the camera work, straight lines, good screen angles, focused reflections, and depth-of-field material.

I'll leave the trailer for you to judge for yourself.

XOXO Li.

THE BEST COVERS!

Hello beautiful people, today I come to talk about covers in the musical world.

Let's start first by saying what the covers are. Covers are an area of the branch of music that refers to taking a song by a famous singer or composer and having another author interpret it but in a different way, either by changing the language, the lyrics or by changing the rhythm.

To make a cover and make a profit on it, it's necessary to make a letter or writing where it says wich covers are the ones you will record, how many copies will you sell, and what will be the name of your album. 

In case you upload it to a platform, you must buy a license that will cost you about 15 dollars plus the royalty payment to the artist, which will depend on the success of your version. You also have to put the credits of the original song; it means that it must say the name of the song, the original author and finally your name.

Doing a cover has its advantages, if you love to sing but still don't dare to show your own content, you can try other people's songs, you will be able to find your voice range when experimenting with different vibes and musical styles, and if you sing in another language you will perfect your pronunciation with the letters.

A good way to start would be to create a YouTube channel and place your covers there, but keep in mind that you must have everything correctly so as not to suffer the delete of a video; make sure you have a professional microphone, a good camera and learn to edit or have a partner to help you in that area.

Depending on your country, you will need to follow different laws or rules if you want to try a cover, you only have to do a good research first and have the necessary musical elements.

Covers are simply adaptations to your favorite songs made your way, it can also be seen as a sign of respect for those composers / performers. Today are several cover artists, most with accounts on YouTube, we also see bands/singers doing covers of other singers, and many times we have found that the cover is even better than the original song.

I will leave you what for me is the top 10 of Covers that will leave you surprised.

Halleluja - Pentatonix:

Rolling In The Deep - Linkin Park:

Stay - 30 Seconds to Mars: 

Summertime Sadness - Miley Cyrus:

Jolene - Sofia Ellar:

Natural - Kihyun de Monsta X:

She Will Be Loved - Bely Basarte:

Juice - Harry Styles:

We Are The Champions - Marc Martel:

Hope you like this covers, tell me in the comment section who's your favorite!

XOXO Li.

ERASED!

Hello beautiful people, I wish you all the best in your work this week, and take good care of yourselves in this quarantine.

Let's talk about exciting series, Boku dake ga inai machi (僕 だ け が い な い 街 lit. The city where only I have disappeared), known in Latin America as "Erased", is a manga series written and illustrated by Kei Sanbe serialized in Young Ace magazine in Kadokawa Shoten since 2012. The first volume launched on June 2nd and ended on March 4th, 2016 with 8 volumes.

In 2016, under the production of A-1 Pictures, the animated adaptation was broadcast by Fuji TV from January 8th to March 26th of that year. The series was directed by Tomohiko Ito and written by Taku Kishimoto, with character design by Keigo Sasaki.

A live action film adaptation of Boku dake ga inai machi premiered in Japanese theaters on March 19th, 2016. Then in 2017, Netflix announced a live action series adaptation, which was released worldwide by the streaming platform on December 15th.

Today I am going to tell you about the adaptation to the series that is on Netflix, Satoru is 29 years old, is a mangaka (manga artist) and works as a pizza delivery boy. His life is apparently ordinary, but he has a special ability: when he is near the place where some incident that puts someone's life at risk occurs, he goes back a few minutes in time to avoid it.

One night, Satoru arrives at the place where a murder has occurred and becomes the main suspect; the regression does not take him a few minutes ago, but 18 years ago, when he was in primary school. Satoru will have to discover the relationship between the events that occurred then, with the murder of his present and try to change the past.

His particular ability will not be helpful for this, but he will have to overcome the conflicts that he did not have the courage to face as a child, and, on the way, rediscover his identity. With this he will not only save several lives but also save himself, discovering the value of friendship along the way, and realizing that sometimes the help of other people is necessary to be successful.

Introspection, monologues, and tenderness (common resources in the Japanese narrative) say present in this live-action and collide with the western way of telling and receiving stories. There lies the magic of this story, in showing us through Satoru how our lack of empathy makes us ignore the problems that people close to us may be experiencing, because when we are lulled by the rays of the sun, it's easy to turn our backs on the black clouds.

Such is the fidelity of this adaptation, that it was proposed to maintain the most important ages, dialogues and characterizations of the original, only by subtracting or adding what effectively solidifies the story. And I can say that it is precisely at this point that the Netflix adaptation surpassed the anime.

In my opinion, this adaptation stuck to and approached the manga in a different way from what was seen in the anime; and they even chose to end the story using the formula written by his mangaka, which was much more logical and forceful, while in the anime everything is hasty and implausible.

The serial killer and criminal genius of the series (whom I will not reveal so as not to ruin your experience) are also given depth, presenting their background and motivations, which were not addressed so well in the anime.

The series does not lose the suspense at any moment and makes us stay on the edge of the seat trying to discover who the murderer is and how Satoru will stop him as a child. Erased is an excellent option for those who love the thriller genre, it has only 12 episodes of approximately 20 minutes.

I leave the trailer of the series:

TRAINING FOR YOUR DOG!

Hello beautiful people, it's finally Friday, we are coming to the end of another week. Who have pets or want to have one?

Today I bring you 10 tips for a perfect training when it comes to having a dog, whether you are acquiring it as a puppy or an older dog, you just have to be very patient and consider what the training method should be.

#1 Ask yourself questions about how you want to educate your doggo

No, it is not absurd, we all want our dog to come to our call, to sit down, not bite, give paw... but no, Im not referring to all those orders that we want it to learn. Before you start training, ask yourself the following:

• Where am I going to want him to sleep?
• Am I going to let him get on the couches and the beds?
• Will she be able to access all the sites in the house?
• Will she eat in the same place as us?

Normally when we have a new puppy, the emotion makes us forget the basic rules, and that is fine, but we must be clear that what we allow them to do from the moment they arrive will become normal behavior for them.

#2 The whole family should train the dog in the same way

The arrival of a furry friend is going to fill us all with happiness, there is no doubt about that; but also, of responsibilities. If you want the puppy to sleep in the kitchen, but your kid kidnaps him secretly and takes him to bed, that will only generate confusion. Our pet will not understand why with some people yes and with others no.

#3 Educate your dog to learn to recognize its name

We are faced with a very important step: teaching a puppy to recognize its name. You should bear in mind that the time it takes for a dog to learn its name is between 5 and 10 days.

A good way to start this training is to call him when you have eye contact and always, with the reinforcement of the award. From there, continue the exercises when its no longer looking at you.

#4 Educate your dog to learn to be with others

This is one of the most important steps, since knowing how to socialize will make our pet relate correctly to other dogs and people. If in the first months of your puppy's life you only have it at home, when it goes out for the first time, it is normal for her/him to be afraid.

It is very good that in those first months you walk with your pet in different places. Not only will it teach him how to move around the city, but he will see that there are many types of people, cars, bikes, etc. At first, your puppy may be shy, don't worry, he will gain self-confidence very quickly.

#5 You must teach your pet how to bite

At the same time that your puppy discovers that the world is very large and there are an infinite number of mysteries to be discovered, it must learn to communicate.

Our dog will interact with us through its mouth. Not only do they play by pretending to bite, they catch objects with their mouths; but also, they give them to us with it. It is important that they learn to control their way of biting before the 4 or 5 months.

You must have all his toys for him to bite, but you must use your hand to teach him the difference, the moment he presses very hard with your hand, you just have to push it away and go, like this, repeatedly until he understands how he should bite.

#6 You must train your puppy positively

You may not know it, but it has been shown that it is more effective to train reinforcing positive behaviors, and avoiding negative ones. If your dog is only scolded for misconduct and you don't value what he does well, he becomes unmotivated. That doesn't mean you never scold him, but you must learn what is right and what is wrong.

Use caresses, compliments and treats, do it in a combined way since dogs like, not only to have a prize in the form of food but also a good caress on the back to know that they are doing something right.

#7 Don't have a contradictory training

We are faced with a classic failure when it comes to educating a dog, many people call their dog when he has done something silly and punish him. By doing so, the dog learns that it is very dangerous to come because sometimes he receives a punishment when you call him. After a few times the most normal thing is that it don't answer your call. 

#8 Teach your dog to be alone

One of the causes of greater anxiety and sadness for our pets is spending a lot of time without us, since they are social animals they need company. Still, it is very important that our dog learns to manage his loneliness.

It is not healthy that in the first weeks of living with your pet, you are with it all the time. We must make exits from the house, even if they are for a very short period of time.

#9 Training sessions must short and in different places

Teaching the dog should be fun for him and you. Therefore, it is advisable to organize short work sessions, of about 15 minutes each. That way, neither of you will be bored or frustrated.

It is also advisable that you vary the training site. The order he obey at home may not be followed in the park. The more you vary the sites and the moments getting positive responses, the more reliable your dog's behavior will be.

#10 Learn to scold him properly

In some moments, our puppy will act in an inappropriate way. However, if we want our pet to understand that something should not be done, just say the word "NO". With our tone we are telling you everything, it is not necessary to lengthen it, nor to scream, nor to hit it. The dog understands by the posture, the tone of voice and the word that it should not behave in this way.

I hope these tips serve you and have the best relationship with your puppy

XOXO Li.

SWISS ARMY MAN!

Hello beautiful people, how are you today? Today I bring you a wonder in the world of movies

It's a dark comedy-drama film released in June 2016, starring Daniel Radcliffe, Paul Dano, and Mary Elizabeth Winstead. Written and directed by Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert.

The film was not released commercially but was widely accepted by critics, praising Radcliffe's twisted performance and his charismatic and bizarre character, but is available on the Netflix platform to her delight.

"Swiss Army Man" is about the desperate decision of a man who is on the verge of suicide on a desert island when he meets a body on the shore of the beach and goes in search of him in the hope that he is alive, but he is not, instead he meets a flatulent corpse who will help him get off the island and return to civilization with his strange "powers" and thus creating a strange friendship between the two.

The Daniels duo went on to create a film that will not leave anyone indifferent, causing different tastes and points of view as extreme as absolute hatred for this film or glorification of a story that is not easy to tell and interpret with an ending difficult to explain. Uncomfortable and touching in equal parts.

The film demystifies death in every possible way, and it does so by looking closely. There is no contrast more beautiful than that which occurs when someone saves his life by a miraculous call from death.

You don't have to put anyone else when you see how perfect Paul and Daniel are together, the union they create with their characters is so real and close that they make you believe that their friendship really goes beyond eternity. In this film you realize that each situation leaves you with a lesson, that you can always learn something new in life, that things are easy and simple but we make them complicated.

If you are one of those who supports black humor, do not believe in taboos and like funny movies, "Swiss Army Man" is for you. This film has an excellent and delicate work of photography, artistic direction and a brilliant soundtrack (Andy Hull and Robert McDowell); impeccable performances that reveal the sensitivity of the film, risky, original and without limits.

For me it's undoubtedly a difficult film to forget, fascinating, worth commenting on and sharing, I leave the trailer for you to see it.

XOXO Li.

SPRING DAY!

BTS "Spring Day" and the Sewol-Ho tragedy, A pure magical coincidence?

Hello beautiful people, Im back fully recovered and with a lot of content for you, today I bring you a theory of a song by one of the most recognized Korean boy band in the musical world.

As is well known, BTS has songs with heartfelt lyrics, with different meanings and interpretations, and for a long time the Fanbase of this group has had theories regarding the songs and their MVs.

Today in particular I am going to tell you about Spring Day, a song that belongs to the album "You Never Walk Alone" and was released on February 12, 2017. The first thing we notice in this song is the feeling of longing for someone, it may be a friend they had lost, and the despair and desolation of losing someone.

In the MV you can see the members in different stages, together and separately, overcoming or processing something, and you can see that all the time it is winter, with the imminent cold but also the internal pain that we feel when we do not move on or when we are mourning.

Two important references can be seen in the "Spring Day" video, the first is from the novel "The One Who Walk Away from Omelas", and the second is from the movie "Snowpiercer". 

Many theories were formed regarding this song as it is believed to commemorate the tragedy that took place on April 16, 2014, where the Sewol-Ho ferry sank down. 

It had 476 passengers on board, of which 330 were students with their teachers, in the tragedy only 174 passengers managed to get to safety, while after many searches the death toll reached 183, after an investigation it was found that the ferry it had been illegally modified to increase its carrying capacity, and carried twice the tons allowed.

For this reason, when making a very abrupt turn, it overturned and collapsed, its captain along with two other officers, abandoned the ship without safeguarding its passengers, for which they were prosecuted and sentenced and their conduct was classified as a "kind of act of murder"

In my opinion, not only the MV, even the lyrics itself suggests that part of the song is related to the tragedy. In the second part of RM's rap, he says "Here it is only winter", while in literature winter symbolizes death, old age, pain, loneliness and despair. The phrase "Even in August, it's winter here" could carry the meaning that their loneliness and despair continue despite the season in which they live at the moment.

And the fact that the South Korean government finally lifted Sewol-Ho out of the ocean in March 2017, a month after the launch of Spring Day, was an unexpected event. It seems that the words in the letter became a reality. That the verse "I'll go find you" happened magically.

BTS did not confirm that "Spring Day" was about the Sewol-Ho tragedy, as they wanted to leave the meaning of the songs and MVs to viewers, as they mentioned during their Wings Tour at the Seoul press conference. 

But knowing the fact that BTS and the company made a large donation to the families of the victims shows their awareness of this tragedy and the sense of responsibility as citizens of the country.

There are two YouTube videos where they explain the meaning of "Spring Day" and are the most assertives. I will leave you both explanations as well as the lyrics of the song and the video for you to enjoy.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!

AMAZING ANIMALS!

Hello beautiful people, today I bring you 9 species that are super strange and amazing and that I think would be worth exploring some time, don't you think? It would be great to be able to go on an excursion and discover a species and study and protect it.

1. The pink fish with hands
   She uses her flippers to walk, rather than swim, along the ocean floor. The pinkfish with hands (Brachiopsilus dianthus) is one of the nine newly named species described in a scientific review of the family of fish with hands (Brachionichthyidae).
   
   Only four specimens of this elusive 10-centimeter pink-handed fish have been found, and all in the area near Hobart Island, on the Australian island of Tasmania.

   
2. Lizard Leiolepis ngovantrii
   It could be called the (surprise of the menu) of the day: a popular food in Vietnamese restaurants has turned out to be a lizard unknown to science. The newly discovered Leiolepis ngovantrii is not in danger of extinction, since the female reproduces by cloning and without the need for males.

   
3. The Simpsons Toad
   While searching for lost amphibian species in western Colombia, in September 2010, scientists stumbled upon three new species, including this beaked toad (Rhinella). His long, pointed nose is reminiscent of that of the villain Mr. Burns, from the television series The Simpsons, according to expedition leader Robert Moore, amphibian conservation specialist for Conservation International.

   
4. The wood-eating fish
   A new species of Panaque found in the Amazon feeds on a fallen tree in the Santa Ana river in Peru in 2006. Other species of loricariids (known as catfish or siluriforms) use their teeth to scratch organic matter from the surface of the wood. sunken. The new species, still unnamed, is among the dozen known Panaque species that digest wood.

   
5. The monkey without nose
   The Burmese Nose Monkey or Flat-nosed Monkey (Rhinopithecus strykeri) has such a flat nose that the rain makes him sneeze, but apparently that is the least of his problems, conservationists commented in October 2010.
   
   The only scientifically analyzed specimen had been killed by local hunters when investigators discovered it in 2010, and was eaten soon after. It was the hunters themselves who spoke about this species to a team of researchers from Flora & Fauna International (FFI), in 2010.

   
6. Borneo's Ninja Slug
   Boasting a tail three times longer than its head, this new species of long-tailed slug was discovered in the mountains of Malaysia in the Borneo area.
   
   This new spice launches its partner "love darts" composed of calcium carbonate and hormones, hence its name, the "ninja" slug. Scientists believe that this Cupid-like behavior can lead to increased reproductive success.

   
7. The purple octopus
   This purple octopus was one of 11 new species found during a deep-sea expedition off the Atlantic coast of Canada in July 2010.
   
   The 20-day expedition, in which Canadian and Spanish scientists collaborated, aimed to discover the relationship between cold water corals and other creatures on the seafloor in an environment yet to be studied. For this they used an ROV called ROPOS to dive into the coasts of Newfoundland with a maximum depth of 3,000 meters.

   
8. The T. rex leech
   This new leech species was discovered in a remote area of the Peruvian Amazon and has been named Tyrannobdella rex. It can measure up to seven centimeters and has long teeth, like those of the dinosaur that gives it the name Tyrannosaurus rex.
   
   What's more, "the bites of this new creature are relatively small," said study co-author Mark Siddall, an expert in invertebrate zoology at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. For this and more reasons, this leech species is among the "rarest species of 2010".

   
9. Squid worm
   Is it a squid? Is it a worm? At first, this new species puzzled Census of Marine Life researchers, so much so that they threw in the towel and called it a squid worm. This ten-centimeter-long creature, discovered through a ROV 2,800 meters below the Celebes Sea in 2007, turned out to be a member of a new family of the Polychaeta class or polychaetes (annelids).

   

What did you think? would you dare to have any of these species in front? or would you rather not know what strange animals there are in this world

XOXO Li.

BTS!

Hello beautiful people, today I bring you one of the best bands in the K-pop world.

BTS (방탄 소년단; Bangtan Sonyeondan) is a South Korean boy band formed in Seoul in 2010. It is made up of seven members: Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook. They debuted on June 13, 2013, under the company Big Hit Entertainment, with the song "No More Dream", included in their first single 2 Cool 4 Skool. they are characterized by creating conceptual albums with influences on literary and psychological works.

How was BTS born?

It all started with songwriter Bang Si-hyuk, founder of Big Hit Entertainment studio and author of hits like "One Candle" by g.o.d. and "Like the First Time" by T-ara.

Bang, in his own words, was a very insecure man about his work despite his talent, and for this he admired artists who could express their personality through music. Along those lines, he made the effort to combine both ideas, honest musical expression and creative anxiety, to prepare for the birth of BTS.

This was how BTS was formed with seven members, who trained in all artistic aspects and contributed their best qualities to have an excellent group. Little by little they achieved success, appearing as a small group in the shadow of large producers with more budget, battling their way to the top and being sincere in their songs, which usually spoke of social problems that its members identified in themselves.

This combination of sincerity with music, the ambivalence of the rap genre combined with the current popular trend and a total openness with their fans on social networks, made the members of the group into real idols, and since they reached stardom, their followers believe blindly in them and give them their full support through voting, nominations, buying tickets and making them global trend.

Their fanbase is called A.R.M.Y, which is an acronym for "Adorable Representative MC for Youth", their anniversary date is July 9th and they are a loyal army of fans who always accompany them worldwide.

MEMBERS:
