The new Academy requirements

With the outburst of protest spawning all over the U.S, the impact of their demands has also reached the filmmaking industry, making its' way into de heart of the Academy. A few weeks back, The Academy announced a new set of "diversity" requirements for films running for the best picture nomination. Even though the details are still being discussed behind the scenes, these new requirements will take inspiration form those applied to the BAFTA (British Academy Film Awards) back in 2019. I emphatically support the idea of turning Hollywood into a more diverse and professional environment, where people can truly inspire and produce amazing art for us, the viewers, to enjoy and wonder upon. With that being said, I believe these regulations are dangerous; diversity shouldn't be imposed, it should be encouraged. Who am I to deny an award to an "all-black-cast" for their amazing performance? Who am I to deny an award to an "all-white-cast" for their incre...
While the COVID-19 pandemic is tragically affecting people’s health, lives and livelihoods, it has also had a noticeable positive impact on our environment in just few months.

It seems that this virus is not as dangerous as COVID-19 but in the future it can be   a thread if no action is taken to couter it, apparently there is no evidence that the G4 can spread from person to person and the problem is that common vaccines do not hava an effect in this virus. I hope this virus does not make us stay even longer in our homes.

Civil rights and Copyrights

I saw that many were struck by the police brutality and racial discrimination that caused George Floyd’s premature death.   I am sure you remember how the civil rights movement led by Martin Luther King fought for equality and more than fifty years later it is still an issue in the United States.   People from all over the world have rallied in support claiming that black lives matter, and proven that people stand together. We all have a big responsibility to make this world a better place for everyone, a world where people are treated with dignity, respect and offered the same rights. On another note, Donald Trump has been threatened by the Rolling Stones for using their songs at his rallies despite cease-and-desist directives. It’s not the first time they have complained about the use of their classic You Can’t Always Get What You Want, which was played at the close of Trump’s recent rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, an indoor event criticised for its potential to spread the...

The suspect, Christian Brueckner, lived several kilometers from the hotel where the girl disappeared. A man that worked with him in Portugal spoke up. However, the suspect, to date, hasn't shown up to investigators. It is said that Christian B. could be a serial killer and a child molester. "All we have ever wanted is to find her, discover the truth and bring those responsible to justice. We will never give up hope of finding Madeleine alive, but whatever the outcome is, we need to know because we need to find peace." the parents said.

Mandate of Hell: The fall of Hong Kong

The Mandate of Heaven was a political and theological organization method employed by the since-long-gone Chinese Empire to back up their emperor's claim to the throne. In western civilization, this argument went by the name of "Divine right", and its's abuses lead to the downfall of absolutism in Europe and its' colonies. The biggest difference between both concepts relies mostly upon the fact that the "Mandate" seemed to be a tangible possession, rather than an abstract invisible concept, and that it could be taken away from the ruler if his reign didn't prove to be prosperous enough, an attribution that the Chinese nobles had little chance to put to practice.  Nowadays, China is a so-called "communist" state, and whether or not its' political and economic policies offer the perseverance of the main basis of Marxism, it is certain that the "emperor" in charge, Xi Jinping, is more than anxious to expand the influence of the A...
