A charming film "The Violin"

When I went to the movies see The violin (dir. Francisco Vargas, Mexico, 2005), I was expecting the film trite complaint about human rights violations in Mexico. Trite say not reject the human rights situation in my country, but because the complaint has become commonplace not only of certain politicians who make the flag issue to attract votes, but of some intellectuals and artists who served the complaint pose to be conceit of critics and benefactors of mankind. Instead, I surprised a film that, without the exposure of embarrassing situations for power, not sink into the propaganda and privileges izquierdoide aesthetics. From simple but effective actions of the characters, especially the beloved Don Ángel Tavira as the grandfather a violinist, to photography reminiscent of Kurosawa epic images ( Beard, The Hidden Fortress, etc.) Through the proposed values \u200b\u200b(the struggle for dignity, oral tradition and social and family ties, the last and art music as elusive for the arrogant *, solidarity), The violin is a film that will undoubtedly set a milestone in the history of Mexican cinema and perhaps even become a classic of contemporary cinema.



(* Of particular humor, for those of us in this primary violinist, are the disastrous attempts of the military captain playing the violin, the bow is moving almost parallel to the strings. To the uninitiated know that the correct motion is perpendicular to the bow string.)

Who would think! The case of Joshua Bell

not to blame the Indian but it does my friend, the wise proverb says Mexican is well you can apply to the virtuoso Joshua Bell (39 years, confirmed bachelor, attractive young women to die for.) Only newspaper The Washington Post came up lazy to do an experiment: put one of the best violinists in the world to play in cognito inside a subway station in the U.S. capital on Friday, January 12 (2007) at eight o'clock. The time when people, mostly federal bureaucrats at the station where the experiment was performed, go to the races to get to work. And Joshua Bell was just naive enough to consent to be used for idle American newspaper experiment, intended to show whether the average pedestrian is sensitive enough to stay and listen to music masterpieces or simply, as it happened, it follows long. If anything demonstrated the experiment is that if art is sublime, on the other hand, as Oscar Wilde said, "is absolutely useless at the time of check card. People who go to work is still long, no matter what you put for the move to one of the best violinists in the world, regardless of singing make a Stradivarius worth some four billion dollars, and without matter that gives life to the masterpieces of classical music. Everything has its time, ruling the Bible. There is a time to laugh and one to mourn, a time to read The Washington Post and other Corn Flakes for breakfast, there is a time to check card and another to hear Joshua Bell play for free! Certainly any connoisseur would say that should be very, very stupid hopelessly who pass by when one of the best violinists in the world giving a free concert in a public place. Overall, there is always the wonderful excuse to explain to the boss frowning, termination of a contract in hand, if one arrived two hours late for work is that it was hearing a concert by Joshua Bell in the subway. Yes, Joshua Bell, who at 14 took the solos of the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Riccardo Muti large, which we are enthralled with the music of The Red Violin, which won a Grammy, then. The fact is that not everyone knows Mr. Bell, and in fact virtually nobody recognized him, except, according to the Post - a bureaucrat who gave $ 20. Twenty dollars for a concert violinist whose tickets are priced hundreds of dollars! (Side note, the impromptu recital at Joshua Bell paid off 37.12 dollars, not counting the twenty listed. Yes, people threw pennies and who gives money to a beggar.) It is true that Joshua Bell was "disguised" as violinist street, beggar musician, with his jeans, a sweatshirt and cap, but the hypothesis of the experiment was over whether, regardless of the façade of the artifice, the art is in itself so sublime that it should move the masses. Sure!, And Jean Baptiste Grenouille moved the mob and escaped execution thanks to the art of perfumery and a Guernica should stop massacres or Joshua Bell agglomerated masses of bureaucrats around him. But it was not. The virtuous, on the other hand super attractive to girls, Joshua Bell played and played his violin, and hardly anyone took it into account. The case has shocked the music lovers around the world, although one wonders how many of those same music lovers would not have done the same thing to be unaware that the ragged boy who was playing the violin in the subway was one of the best violinists in the world. In other words, is truly sublime art itself or are so commonplace that we need the place, advertising, media paraphernalia all for giving gifts to culture? "Conclusions derived from the judicious experiment: 1) in general, everyday users Enfant station (where it was held of yore) are an ignorant Runfla without any artistic sensibility, no matter how attractive, charismatic or virtuous was the artist who introduced them, 2) playing the violin in some U.S. metro stations are profitable, and sorry, if question one of the best violinists in the world; 3) some U.S. media have enough power to subdue the cream and cream their stupid culture experiments, and 4) Brad Pitt classical music failed him dozens of fanatical fans who harass the end of each concert. Better luck, we would have run Joshua Bell submitted a holiday in a plaza or public park. But equally, without neglecting the undeniable talent of Joshua Bell, may have had better luck Bond girls.

not exactly a Stradivarius Playing violin

If the old adage warns, "creating fame and cast to sleep", this sentence can still be applied to musical instruments. But fame can be misleading when there is no complete information. That happened to a man in the city of Guadalajara, Jal. (Mexico), who entered a music shop to ask for the price of a violin, and when he saw the model it was thought that this was a masterpiece of craftsmanship. Could not resist, and asked the seller if the violin that he showed was a Stradivarius authentic. Of course, an instrument that is sold in a shopping plaza, at a price of 4 000 Mexican pesos (approximately U.S. $ 400.00) can not in any way, a Stradivarius genuine. As many know, Antonio Stradivari was a seventeenth-century Italian craftsman, famous for the extraordinary quality of the instruments he created, of which only about 700 survive today that prices are quoted in millions. So why do so many instruments that have a brand Stradivarius model? The reason is that over the centuries many European craftsmen have followed the teachings of Stradivari in the manufacture of stringed instruments. So when one is a violin marked "Stradivarius model", it was the canons of an old school manufacturing or luthiers, not that it is a genuine Strad . This is the case violin sold at that store in Guadalajara. Indeed, a 4 / 4 Strunal manufactured by the factory, based in the Czech town of Luby. A manufacturing industry, said on the violin, operating since 1640. So, I do not resist the temptation to take a look.

Squeaking Spin Bike Wheel

rejuvenates!

Proven not to extensive scientific evidence but from personal experience. Truly I say to play the violin younger. We do not know at the time of writing this notice if it is an effect similar to water crystals shown in the film hidden messages in water or in the controversy What do you ... @% # & know, in which words "positive", loving, etc. as well as classic tunes, have the effect of creating beautiful shapes, with the possibility of improving psychophysiology of individuals, but since we started in the intricate art of the violin, now in at least once asking us to enter the official identification of adult movies when we had never requested or more years in our young men, and there are several known that when dealing in Street tell us "how do you see him so young?" They should not miss (pardon my speculation) that we attribute the envious pacts with demonic powers to Dorian Grey, but could hit it because, while we retain young and happy, others wrinkled and increasingly bitter. So, you know, if they kept young and beautiful, accompanied by their fruits and vegetables with a good melody of the violin.
