The Room: A movie that you have to watch... I'm not kidding

 


Have you ever cooked something, and screwed it up so bad, that it actually taste good in a different way of the originally intended? Well, this movie it’s exactly that.

The Room: the most classic example of movies that are so bad that are good. I’m not saying that this is the best movie I’ve seen, but it certainly is the best of its class, an absolute unforgettable experience. I think that the big difference with just any bad movie it’s that this one it’s not a “poorly made film”, this one it’s exactly how it’s supposed to be, it’s full of love, it´s the masterpiece of a mastermind that it’s just beyond our common conceptions of aesthetics and narrative, the mind of an artistic alien, the mind of Tommy Wiseau.

The first time I saw The Room I wasn’t sure of what to expect; I’ve had seen some of the famous lines like “Oh hi Mark”, sure, but the whole movie it’s a different experience. I laughed a lot while watching it, but when the film was over I felt like “did I really spent one and a half hour of my life on this cr*p”… I went to sleep, I woke up the next morning, I looked through my window and I knew that I had done the right thing. And I want YOU to feel the same.

PS: there is a James Franco’s movie about the creation of The Room called “The Disaster Artist” and it’s a very good movie in the “normal” sense of the word.

    A friend recommended me this film, but I brushed it off because "why would I watch something that I know it's bad?" But you made me reconsider it haha

My future job

  Being so close to the end of my career -I’m in fourth year of sociology- one starts to think more and more often on how you are going to make a living out of what you have been learning all these years. Sociology has a very large specialization spectrum, but the labor field it’s no so wide, so the general offer is like this: a reduced group of activities in a wide field of topics. This flexibility allows you to change your area of work frequently, but most sociologist choose to specialize in a couple of topics. Considering the previous, I would like to take a major in Latin-American issues and work on that area beyond the specific activity that I dedicated myself at. For the love I have for my cultural continent and considering other personal projects I would like to work on diplomacy, and having a sociology title and a related mayor it’s a good start. The nature itself of this job attracts me. Lots of traveling (and not just “touring”), the improvement of relations between our cou

Post graduate studies: one topic, many places.

  Being near to the end of my career makes you think often on what to do after you get your title. Just get to work the quickest as possible it’s always a tempting option, but the love for learning and the fear that the labor world causes, plus the better future possibilities that offers a postgraduate degree makes it a really attractive choose. As I said on my previous blog, I have a special interest -even love, I would say- on Latin America. As such, I have the idea of studying a master or a PhD on Latin-American issues. In addition to my interest on the subject, it could give some advantage in the postulation to the Diplomatic Academy, in which I would like to enter, as I explained too on my last post. I’m thinking about taking a course at the University of Chile, at the Faculty of Philosophy, or maybe at the Alberto Hurtado University (the Society of Jesus it’s probably the institution with the strongest Latin-American tradition). Other great Latin-American universities like th

My career choice

Imagen
  By the time I had to postulate to a career I already had it decided and I was absolutely confident of my decision, but it wasn’t always like That. Obviously I wasn’t born with the idea of studying sociology -some people might disagree on my view of vocation-, but I mean about the process of choosing a career on the last years of high school. My biggest interests at that time were -and still are, actually- around history, philosophy and economics. Consequently my options for an university career were between History, Philosophy, or other social science. I discarded the first two, mainly because I didn’t like the labor field that they had to offer, focused primarily on school education. The big problem I had with studying Economics, or commercial engineering, how it is called in Chile, was the monopoly of the Monetarist School of thought over the economics schools of the country, despite of the traditional political position of the universities. At one time I had the opportunity to t
