Goku!

My Favorite Super Hero

My favorite super hero is “Goku”. He is the protagonist of Dragon Ball, an animation´s TV program.  His true name is “Kakaroto” and he came from other planet but he grew in the  mountains  of our planet and he learned martial arts from his adoptive grandfather, then he knew to Milk and get married whit Milk and they had childrens.

I like this Super hero because I grew whit his venture and I always learned something about him and about his personality. And also I like goku because he makes me remember my childhood days and when I tried to do the “Kame hame ha!” and this memory makes me laugh so much. =)

Goku represents to me the nobility and the courage.  I love the way he is because he is always happy. But the most important characteristic of Goku is that he always defended us even when he had  to die for protect this planet.

This is a picture of Goku =) I know that you Know him too =)

Paul Ekman

Paul Ekman

The person than I admire of my field is Paul ekman. He was born in 1934 in Washington D. C. He received the Scientific Research Award from the National institute of mental Health and he still alive.

Paul Ekman was one of the first to study the relationship between emotions and its facial expressions. He found an universal expressions of many emotions like anger, repugnant, fear, happiness, sadness, surprise.  He described facial micro expression than it can use to detect lies but his works about lies it is not only about the facial expressions, He work whit the expressions of all human body too. Ekman has contributed to the study of social aspects of lying, why we lie, and why we are often unconcerned with detecting lies and I think that this is a great contribution to the knowledge in general. It is because I admire Paul Ekman  and because his work has a great importance in the practice of psychology and because this theory is given in reality. Other important things about Paul Ekman is that the “Lie to me” tv program it is an Ekman theory based.

My favorite movie

"Spring and Chaos"
 
Spring and chaos is one of my favorite movies because it is a great movie, it is full of magic and color. The first time I saw it I was in shock because I didn’t understand the history.  I must been 11 years old and I remember than I loved the song, the music and the characters.

This movie is an animation and it was directed by Shoji Kawamori, a Japanese director, this movie is set in nineteenth century in Iwate. The characters are like human cats and  the history tell us about the tragic history of Kanji, (a Japanese poet), his fight to be true his art and his fight for be honest whit himself.

I have chosen this movie because it gives the name of my blog and as far I´m concerned  this name have something of beauty and blue.

The most exciting part of the movie was when a train goes over the water and then the train plunged into the lake, then appears a big machine that apparently keeps the planet alive. In my opinion it was beautiful. (You can watch this in the trailer J )

I like the main character´s world view and his imagination.

I recommend this movie because I´m sure than you´re going to love it, I know it is a little rare but in my opinion it is a great movie.

This is the trailer, enjoy!
