The film I love most in this world [no spoiler]

Oldboy (2003) is the masterpiece of South Korean filmmaker Park Chan-wook. This film tells a story of vengeance crossed around two characters marked by the guilt and the awful consequences of his decisions. It shows us his moral conflicts and his need for love as a means of atonement. Oldboy shocked me and that's why I love it. When I watched it, I felt a void inside me and burst into tears as never before. It was being sadistic and Machiavellian with me, but at the same time, it was beautiful and sweet.

[Writing from a computer]

A laptop is an electronic machine equipped to perform common tasks of computer science and other activities. Four years ago, my uncle and my aunt gave me one and since then –without thinking too much– it is my favorite piece of technology. With my personal computer, I have been able to interact with other people and digital media and have had the opportunity to produce content. In addition, I have been able to connect with input devices and data storage devices, such as joysticks, video cameras, multifunction printers, memory cards, etc., which have given me entertainment. I use my laptop almost every day and I value it a lot, mainly, for the beautiful moments that I spend. I can't imagine being without my laptop. On two occasions, I took it to the technical service and I had a very bad time: I got bored a lot. Thanks for everything, scientists.

Why Film & Television Studies?

Ten years ago, I was a child that I dreamed of getting a job in an artistic area, such as architecture. Then, I noticed that I liked the Cultural studies and the mass media. I preferred to study Sociology or even Art history. However, these ideas did not prosper. After graduating of school, I apply to study Film and Television studies, and for two main reasons: to have the opportunity of filming with my smartphone and videocamera, and to watch video blogs on YouTube. Currently, with my audiovisual communication classmates, I'm trying to develop a short film and a television program, applying the acquired learning. Moreover, in a few years, I would like to work with the best filmmakers and to win film festivals. OK, I think that's all ... for now.
