Stone throwing

I like to see pictures about unknown people that represents the injustice which act some governments. This one, is a picture taked by Musa Al-Shaer in a riot at Gaza Strip in 2001. The picture shows a little palestinian child when he is on the point of throw a stone against an Israeli tank on front of him.

There are a lots of pictures about this conflict between Israel and Palestine, but I choose this one because it represents the difference about their arms and power. The first country is attacking with a huge militar vehicle, while Palestinian people reply that with stones. A worthless way that Israel have to demostrate power to this little and poor country.

Is a paradoxical situation about the jewish people and their history. First of all, is a people that was expeled from various places and discriminated by other cultures (even murdered because of the hate of other races).

And now, that the same people is acting with the same process (sometimes even worst wich they suffered), I think is ridiculous. They haven´t learned too much.

Anyway, this type of practics of repression, isn't new about the way that the current democracys act to supress other cultures and demands, including that ones inside their territories.

A great movie

Around 6 years ago I saw a short film from a spanish director called Luis Buñuel. The video is called "Un chien Andalou". Then I don´t understand anything about the symbolic images that i saw, but reading some articles, I could see the meaning of lots of them. Buñuel´s filmografy is absorbed in a vanguard style called Surrealism, that express the activity of the subconscious in humans being and the consecuence  in their actions. Buñuel also made hard criticism to bourgeoisie and the catholic church, thing that i like so much from his movies.

But the movie that I present now isn´t that short film. The movie is "Belle de Jour" (1966), a film that present us a burgeoise woman unhappy and repress about her way of life and the social class pressure present in everything that she did. Because of that, Severine (performed by Catherine Denevue), a married wooman, was interested in the Prostitute´s life. I like this film because represents to me, the agony that suffer a member of a high social class, and for the other side, the excess of free time of a burgeoise woman, that gets in this world.

Check to this film and the director filmografy. I Absolutely recommend you!
