REMANDO AL VIENTO

The other day we were speaking about films. Now I want you to know a very beautiful and strange film: Remando al viento. It is a Spanish film from 1987. Why is it interesting for us? Well, the story is about some British people and it was shot in English. British actors like Hugh Grant and Elizabeth Hurley took part in the film and Spanish actors like Aitana Sánchez Gijón and José Luis Gómez. They all spoke in English. The director is Gonzalo Suárez and the film was quite famous when it was released.

The film is about some British poets: Lord Byron and Percy B. Shelley and his wife Mary. They were famous poets in the time of Romanticism and  their writings are considered some of the best in the English language.

Mary Shelley wrote a short novel which was later very well known: Frankenstein. In the film Mary tells the other writers how she created the monster and how she suffered from it.


You have two videos here. In the first you can see the names of the actors and see the atmosphere of the film. I n the second you see one of the last scenes. I hope you'll like them.

GLOBE AWARDS

Yesterday night there was a huge celebration in Los Angeles: the ceremony of the Globe Awards. Actors and actresses, films and TV series receive awards every year.

It is said that the people and films that win in the Globe awards have many possibilies of winning an Oscar.

The presenter of the show has made a lot of jokes, some not very polite. He said that he could not understand Antonio Banderas speaking English. So, study English, you could be the next.

Anyway, here is a video with the best moments of the show.Enjoy it.
