OLE! The Great Dictator
<-- Better this film poster of the same name by Boldi ..
iHola!
I'm in Murcia, Spain, for a day of technology transfer in the food industry. I arrived yesterday afternoon at 15.30, I jumped at the hotel to support her suitcase and went to the place of meeting, to begin at 18 with the first two meetings.
Climate spring (or pre-autumn), with approximately 20 degrees. The sun is very well in the shade .. Well, the sun is best.
Every time I come, Murcia is more beautiful, more "new", more alive. The walk from the Hotel Arco de San Juan Auditorium is very relaxing, as it runs along the river, with bridges made these beautiful sailing vessel that give a modern twist in this city, I think, Baroque.
instead I found a very nice city near the theater (which I do not remember how to call it), with shops and places to eat.
After trying a pizza last night in another of the city's main squares, today I folded up to the sound "Carnaccia" and wine "stain" at Taberna Dona Lola, which is close to the hotel and above all is security, since in both 2003 and in 2005 I was there to eat. And in fact did not disappoint expectations. Moreover
today are also in the area of \u200b\u200bthe stadium and past the Plaza de Toros. The first, called "The Condo" is no longer used by the local team, Real Murcia FC. The team militates in Primera Division and I doubt that, as the stadium is located, may be considered convenient to accommodate the supporters of the Merengues or Blau-Grana: it is held between the blocks of the city, with an effect similar to that of the sadly famous stadium in Catania.
Now team plays in the new stadium, "La nueva condominium, located 3 km north of the city center in a residential and commercial area of \u200b\u200bthe same name. The plaza de toros
hand is still there, attached to the stadium and also between the houses and narrow streets of Murcia. In this case, except that a bull does not escape from the arena, with dangers but there are none. Too bad it never managed to go see a bullfight.
Now I'm in the hotel lobby, waiting for me is sleep (and also because there is no room in the wireless connection ..) this afternoon in fact been free of commitments and I turned up to 18 steps, for then finish everything on the PC and look CARS THE BOURNE SUPREMACY to 21.30, at which time I went to dinner. That is to say when you've got a tube to do is hard to get to evening.
And tomorrow will be even worse: up to 13.15 I fuck, I'm flying to 15.45 and then I have to be 5 hours at Madrid airport, and arriving in Bologna at 23.40. So I can not waste the pages of my book, my only pastime in Madrid.
Now I go on. As soon as I get home uploader to Flickr photos of Murcia, which I think are quite nice too ..
soon. Indeed, hasta Lueg!

18th Birthday Wordings
<-- Il dialogo diplomatico tra Hynkel e Napoloni sul ritiro delle truppe di Bacteriane dal confine con l'Ostria
Last night I wanted to remove a birthmark and I covered "The Great Dictator" directed by and starring Charlie Chaplin, mainly because I wanted to show it to include (but there was no way: this too has fallen asleep around ..). I remembered that it was a comedy but at the same time "engaged" with a strong critique of totalitarian regimes such as Nazi (of Adenoid Hynkel, FUI - instead Fuhrer - Toman) and fascist (Benzino Napoloni, Dictator of Bacteria) I remembered the famous scenes such as that Hynkel playing with the globe to the notes of classical music, the arrival of Napoloni train station, the military parade or speeches to the nation. But above all I knew at the end of the movie the barber jew, who was mistaken for Hynkel, is to take the conversation to the people to start to conquer Europe. And the barber, of course, is far from a speech aimed to conquer the world. A good speech at any age is alive.
"I'm sorry, but I do not want the Emperor, it's not my job. I do not want to rule, or conquer anyone. I would like to help everyone if possible: Jews, Aryans, blacks or whites.
We all want to help each other. Human beings are like that. We want to live each other's happiness, but not each other's misery. We do not hate us and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone, nature is rich and it is sufficient for all of us. Life can be free and beautiful but we have forgotten. Greed has poisoned our hearts, shut the world behind a barricade of hate, has made us march, with goose-step, to the misery and bloodshed.
We have developed speed but we have shut ourselves. The machines that give you plenty gave us poverty, science has turned into cynics, the ability has made us hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than intelligence, we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost.
aviation and radio were close to the people: the very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness of man, cries out for universal brotherhood, the unity of humanity. My voice is reaching millions of people all over the world, millions of men, women and children, victims of a system that forces men torture and imprison innocent people.
To those who can hear me I say, do not despair. The unhappiness that struck us is that an effect of human greed: the bitterness of those who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, dictators die and the power they took from the world return to the people. All men die, liberty will never perish.
Soldiers! Do not give yourselves to these brutes who despise you, enslave you, which regiment your lives, tell you what you need to do, what you think and feel! Do not give yourselves to these people without a soul, man-machine, with machine minds and machine instead of my heart!
You are not machines! You are men! With love in his heart for humanity! Do not hate! They are the ones who have no love for others who do.
Soldiers! Do not fight for slavery! Fight for freedom! In the seventeenth chapter of Saint Luke it is written that the kingdom of God is in the hearts of men.
Not one man, not a group of men, but all of you. You, the people, have the power to create machines, to create happiness, you have the strength to do that life is a wonderful adventure. So in the name of democracy, we use this force, let us unite and fight for all a new world that is better, giving people the chance to work, young people a future and old age security. Promising
these things, brutes have risen to power. Lied: they have kept that promise and never will. The Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people, then we fight for that promise, we fight to rid the world away with national barriers, greed, hatred and intolerance, we fight for a sensible world, a world in which the Science and progress will lead to all men welfare.
Soldiers Unite in the name of democracy! "
