The Way of Saint James, more than just a journey .

Did you like "The Way"? In my opinion it was watchable, a good introduction to the Camino. Well, this video is about it. I usually use it in my 2nd of ESO History lessons. It's very helpful in understanding what is the Way of Saint James and summerises all the "steps" to follow.

Django Unchained

Django is the title of the latest Quentin Tarantino film. It is an enjoyable and hectic story developed in the deep South of the USA, in the state of Mississippi, two years before the Civil War started. The plot is about a former dentist, now a bounty hunter, who buys the freedom of a slave, Django, because he is the only one who can lead him to his bounty: the Brittle Brothers. In turn, Django is looking for his slave wife Broomhilda, from whom he was separated from due to the slave trade. Christopher Waltz and Jamie Foxx star brilliantly in this film, notwithstanding the role of Candyland plantation proprietor, played by Leonardo di Caprio, is undoubtedly proof of his command of performance. The film has been involved in some controversy due to the use of the “n-word” racial epithet and the depiction of slavery itself. It is true that Tarantino is a love it/hate it director who, in this film, faithfully captures the spirit of the 70's Spaghetti Westerns set this time in the South and involving slave matters, although it has been interpreted through his own aestheticization of violence filter, e.g. the really huge quantity of blood at the end of the film reminds us of his saga Kill Bill Vol.1 and Vol. 2. I have to admit that I am a big fan of Tarantino films, but the nearly three hours the film lasted were so amusing that you would not even notice the passing of time. It was worth it!
