Batman, a classic.

Hello guys!

So it was kind of difficult to decide my favourite superhero (I wanted so bad to talk about Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, but I didn't have information enough). So, I'm going to talk about my -real- favourite superhero: Batman.



Batman is a fictional character created for the americans Bob Kane y Bill Finger. His secret identity is Bruce Wayne, a multimillionaire business man who loves humanity. When he was a child, he saw the murder of his parents at the hands of criminals, and he swore revenge by capturing all of them from Ghotam City.

His costume is characteristic: he’s always dressed as a bat. This superhero doesn’t have superpowers, he just uses the latest technological applications to make weapons to fight crime. He lives at the Wayne mansion, where he has the classical “Batcave”, and has loyal allies, like Robin (his crime-fighting partner) or the heroine Batgirl.

Personally, I like Batman because he has no superpowers and that makes him so much closer to the humans. Also, I think Batman represents the dream of everyone, he has a lot of money but he isn't selfish. I guess that's his message: to do something good for the rest.

Jodorowsky? psychomagic? Let's see...

Hello guys!
Today I'm going to introduce a person that I admire: Alejandro Jodorowsky.



He's a chilean man with a lot of professions, like artist, film director, actor, and the most related with psychology is that he's a psychoanalyst, among many others.
He was born on 1929, and when he was 24, he left Chile and traveled to France seeking to learn more about art. In 1960, he traveled to Mexico and became interested on psychological and mystical issues.

His contribution to Psychology is the "Psychomagic", a controversial technique that mixes art, Eastern philosophizes and psychoanalysis, trying to make a catharsis into the patient. This technique assumes that the unconscious takes a symbolic act as a fact; so, any symbolic act could change the unconsciousness behaviour.
The therapist has to investigate about the patient's personality and family structure, and according to that information, he has to prepare a symbolic act that could help resolve some kind of irrational conflict inside the patient.

Some persons are really skepticals about this therapy because it has no scientific basis, but the same Jodorowsky has said that "it isn't located into science".

In my personal opinion, I believe in Psychomagic (and alternative therapies, in general) because I don't agree in the disrespect that science usually makes from another kinds of knowledge, that has thousands of years of wisdom. Psychomagic is different from the usual, with this therapy you won't find a "magic pill" to heal someone, it's a personalized therapy, and it has yielded many, and solid results.

Wondering who is Catu?

Hello bloggers!

Today I will tell you a little bit about myself. I'm Catalina. My friends call me Cata and some persons call me Catu, I really like it because it's cute and original. I'm 19 years old, I study psychology at Campus Juan Gómez Millas, it's my second year.

I love my family and my friends, I like music, parties and laugh with my friends until tears.


I love books, and Franz Kafka is one of my favorites writers (he must be president).

I want my blog to become a good place to write my opinion. Also, I want to practice english because I like it, so I think a blog is perfect to do it and to know about another people's opinion.

So, see you later!

500 Days of Summer, my favorite movie

Hello bloggers!

So, this is a special day because today I’m going to tell you about my favorite movie. It was truly difficult to make the choice, but finally I have chosen “500 Days of Summer”.

Before giving you my reasons, I will tell you some general aspects about the movie.

This is a comedy, drama and, of course, romantic film released in 2009. It was directed by Marc Webb, and stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt (as Tom Hansen) and Zooey Deschanel (as Summer Finn).

It narrates the story of Tom, a frustrated architect who works writing greeting cards messages, a boy who believes in eternal, honest and romantic love, whose life is actually empty until the day he meets Summer, the new assistant to his boss. She’s a girl who doesn’t believe in love, she thinks on “living the moment” without getting responsibilities.

Well, what do you think?.. Tom sees her and, of course! immediately falls in love: she’s everything he have dreamed of, they listen to the same music, read the same books, make fun at the same things. But there’s a little –but important- difference: he thinks he had found the love of his life. She doesn’t think so.

One peculiarity of the film is that it shows the end since the beginning: we all know they break up. The important thing here is to know the separation process, the meeting process, how do they love each other and how do they hate each other. How Tom creates all a story inside his head and how Summer has an idea completely different. How Tom teaches her to believe in eternal love, and how she teaches him to don’t believe on it at all.

They show us a reality inside many couples: when you’ve got a different idea, when you expect something different of your partner, then it’s really difficult to stay together. And that's why I really really love this movie. Basically it came to me in the very moment of my life. I could even say that this movie made me “open” my eyes and see that, well, we all suffer sometime for love and then we think that life is unfair and we cry and all we want to do is just die. Okay, that's part of the process, but then I realized that life isn’t like all the non-ending love stories that we hear when we’re childrens.

Another aspect that makes me really love it, is the soundtrack. Regina Spektor, The Smiths, She & Him and many others artists are involved, the right song at the right scene and that makes all the movie simply amazing.

So, I've got a present for you! Here we have the Official Trailer!!
