MOANA

Image
MOANA In several islands of the Pacific do not share the representation and commercial exploitation that the study of animation does on a mythological figure that some cultures consider that it is an "ancestor". It has not even been released but the new Disney movie, "Moana", creates controversy in the Pacific, where the legendary animation studio is accused of contempt and cultural looting. (See Advance of "Moana: a sea of ​​adventures"). The animated film directed by John Musker and Ron Clements, whose original title in English is "Moana" and which in other countries will be titled "Vaiana", tells the story of an intrepid teenager of 16 years. So far everything is fine, except that in its journey the protagonist is accompanied by Maui, a legendary figure in the mythology of various cultures of the Pacific. Its representation and commercial exploitation by Disney has provoked outrage. In a short time the study has faced a ser...

INCREDIBLE 2

Image
INCREDIBLE 2 The incredible 2 ', in effect, submissively recycles many of the elements that made his predecessor a triumph. Once again we have a dysfunctional family, the Parr, who tries to reconcile their role as superheroes with the domestic problems in their midst; again, after being outlawed by the authorities, they receive the support of a benefactor who turns out to be cheating, and again, when one of their members falls into the networks of the bad guys, the rest of the offspring comes to the rescue. Now as then, too, everything is resolved in a spectacular final climax, and as we turn to it we are witnessing a new sequence starring fashion designer Edna Moda and other gags -the government methods of erasing memory, the authoritarian wife of Frozono- already used in similar conditions 14 years ago. Part of the power of that first film is that each of its characters, the villain included, was endowed with a distinctive dramatic bow despite the fact that at the same time...

FROZEN

FROZEN "It's worth melting for something beautiful" As Olaf's phrase (the snowman), is the feeling that Frozen generates us. From the beginning to the last scene, it does not stop making us melt with each one of its characters: the two princesses Anna and Elsa, one of them with a power of birth to freeze things, the other like any normal adolescent, happy of the life, singing dancing, trying to have the protocol and decorum of a person of royalty, a prince with a secret plan and an ice seller in the worst snowfall in the kingdom of Arendelle. Based on the story by Hans Christian Andersern The Snow Queen, but with a few changes (many really), there is no bad character, there is no fight against evil, but against oneself (the worst fight, if you ask me) ), there are no mirrors, no magical goblins, but there are trolls not like Peter Jackson's, but they are made of stone and can not be seen from all over the world, but with the charm of Disney, with dresses ...

EFFECTS OF TELEVISION ON KIDS

Image
EFFECTS OF TELEVISION Do you let your young children watch TV? Television affects children and adolescents differently than adults. This has an impact all the more important when their knowledge is limited and they are in full development. It is therefore essential for parents to be informed about the effects of television and especially what they can do to improve things. Learning difficulties Television viewing is not recommended for children under two years of age as their memory, attention and understanding of symbols are still immature. In addition, they have difficulty transferring their learning in 2D in a 3D world. It is therefore essential that very young children can interact with the real world and people of trust to promote healthy development. Aggressive behavior According to the CRTC, too much violence on the screen can lead the child to behave aggressively, be less sensitive to the pain of others and fear the world around him. Even if several other factors ...
