Resultat d'imatges de life vida pau gasol



Today, I recieved as a Nikolaus gift, a German tradition [even though I'm not german] the book from Pau Gasol. 

I've been a supporter from Pau since I remember, I like him a lot, as a basketball player and as a person. With this book I've learned lots of things I didn't knew Pau liked or did, and I also learned more from the things I knew about. 

With this book, Pau, as the title says, tries to do a quick summary with photos and text of what's his life about, from childhood to now, and from a basketball player to a normal guy from Barcelona who lives in the USA. 

He shows both his american fans what's like living and the culture in Barcelona, Catalonia and Spain and to the catalan and spanish people how he deals with living and working in the USA. 

He talks about the past, but also about the future and what does he want to be, become or do. He also talks about the present, and how he relate with friends, colleagues, family, fame.... 

Gasol also talks about him and which were are and could possibly be his goals in life. The book, then, becomes a magic story in where Pau opens his doors up to where he can or wants and you really enjoy reading and seeing the photos he includes. 

You can read it in an hour, but for sure you're gonna read it again some other time, or you're going to takes notes of one of the chapters.... for sure... 'cause Pau Gasol does not open up because he wants fame or for some money... he opens up because he wants everybody to see the things he does and why he does this things. He's also an inspiration because with his words and the help of professionals he transmits his passion, the life.

I'm proud of him, and for me he is a role model. I'm also from Barcelona, I like basketball, I am a Lakers fan and I would like to live in California as well. Good job Pau!

the secret life of walter mitty | 2013

A dreamer, Walter Mitty is a contemporaneous dreamer that wants to say that to escape from the world we're living in, we don't need, if we would like to change it, to fight, we need to dream. With this motto Walter Mitty starts to change his life and live the dream.  When the Life magazine is about to close it's doors to become a digital source of information Mitty is the person who needs to provide the photography that will be the 5th essence and last cover of the publication. The problem is, he does not find it. The movie, then becomes a journey, sometimes ponderous and boring, where the best thing is the photography. The original story was simple, but this one starts being also simple and changes to be complex and more awkward than it should be.  Very promising, but the result hasn't been as good as it could and should have been. The moral could have been a good point for this movie, but the idea of dreaming to escape from the problems is not convi...

only god forgives | 2013

I saw this movie at the Sitges Film Festival. When the movie started you could feel Gosling's presence in the film as you do all the time that the movie lasts... but nothing more. Ryan Gosling's carachter 'Julian' seems like a ghost that sometimes can be violent and other times he stands up with everything, that her mother says. The movie stands between the violence and the colors, the feelings that the scenes produce on you. I think that the film is a metaphor of the things that happen in a kind of world that exists and where the only way of surviving is violence, but also your way of dying. Right know I can tell I made a good choice, 'cause this movie is different, it has something special Thanks to the Sitges Festival Organization for bringing this movie to Sitges!
