TV SHOW AND SERIES - Machos


I have never really liked watching series, because I have always thought that I could be occupying that time studying something or reading. In short, doing something more productive than sitting in front of the television. In addition, I perceive that series often tend to lengthen for no apparent reason. For example, I once tried to watch the Narcos series, which tells the story of Pablo Escobar. However, I felt that the director was making it too long and was stealing my time. For this reason, I do not enjoy any type of series in particular, as I usually avoid them.


Even so, if I had to choose one, I would stick with Machos, released in 2003 on Channel 13. This is a masterpiece of Chilean productions, in addition to having a spectacular cast. The series tells the story of the Mercader family, made up of seven brothers, all men. Throughout the chapters, the interlocks and family dramas are shown, as well as the conflicts that emerge between the different siblings. I like it because it is quite a sociological series, as it shows what happened in Chile in the 2000s and the most contingent issues of the time, such as masculinity, homosexuality, the sexualization of the body and sexual trauma. It is undoubtedly a portrait of a society in full transformation, whose agents are highly stressed by contingency. A highly recommended, beautiful and heartbreaking series.

    I love that you like Chilean series too! I haven't watched Machos yet but I wanna do it when I'll have some time. I remember that I've watched many series at that time because I didn't had tv-cable, so I have the teleserie culture, with La Fiera, Aquelarre, Brujas, etc.

    I remember when Machos came out, I was very young, but I remember that my mother watched it on TV, she really liked it.
    The only chilean serie that I like was El Dia Menos Pensado.

    Hello Juan Pablo! I also saw this series when I was a little girl. I remember that watching the national television series with my family in the afternoons while we ate. That doesn’t happen anymore in my house, now we are all adults and at tea time we all have our own things to do. Reading your post reminded me of those days.

SUMMER PLANS - UWU

Imagen
  I generally like to go on vacation when it is summer, especially if it involves going to the beach or to another nearby Latin American country. For example, last year I went to Guatemala and Honduras. It was an incredible experience. Now, this year it will be much more difficult to travel due to the coronavirus and the health barrier. Or rather, it will be impossible to travel. Anyway, faith is the last thing you lose and with my girlfriend we want to rent a cabin on a nearby beach where there aren't many people. Last year we went to El Canelo together and I think that after all this difficult year we deserve a break. It was very beautiful and we have incredible photos of El Canelo. Hope we can go in January. My family will go on a trip to the south but I will not be able to accompany them because they are leaving for two weeks, and I need that time to work on my thesis and some works in sociology. I have no doubt that they will have a great time, but I suppose the holidays are o...

A COUNTRY I'D LIKE TO VISIT - GUYANA

Imagen
Without a doubt there are many countries that I would like to visit. But at the moment the one that most catches my attention is the Cooperative Republic of Guyana, known until 1966 as British Guyana. That same year the small country won its independence. First of all, it strikes me because I have always wanted to visit Latin America in its entirety and Guyana is one of those countries that I still don't know. Second, it strikes me because it is a fairly unknown country and whose beautiful landscapes hide its troubled and conflictive history. I would like to get lost in its streets and towns to soak up its culture. Also, I would like to meet their people, who are surely a little different from the rest of Latin America. I have no plans to move there, but I would like to visit it for tourism and take pictures of daily life in Guyana with my analog camera.
