Django Unchained.

Django unchained is an action movie starred by Jamie Foxx and Leonardo Dicaprio.

 In the year 1857, in the states a group of slaves were driven by two brothers, when suddenly the journey was interrupted by Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz).  He kills the two brothers and sets free all the slaves but he took one of them Django (Jamie Foxx) as an informant. The Doctor explained to Django why he put his attention on him and that´s because  Django had crucial information to find three highly required criminals. The doctor promised a split of the gains because the doctor was bounty hunter and also the doctor offers his services to Django to find his wife, because the two were separated a long time ago and that is how these two characters start their journey. Django is a long movie (165 minutes) but very fun to watch you will feel that the time pass flying. The director of the movie, Quentin Tarantino his trademark style on this movie like the other he has made like dusk till dawn, kill bill, and the well know pulp fiction.
 The movie was well received by the media, and has been nominated to five academy awards including best picture and Christoph Waltz won a Golden Globe for this movie. 

I really enjoyed the originality of the film and of course the action scene that includes. Quentin Tarantino has special way to produce movies, I feel very comfortable with his style and that is one of    my reasons to watch Django.

A new form of intelligence

In my first year in the college, I had to do an essay of Howard Gardner and his work, but who is he? Well Howard Gardner is an American psychologist , he was born in 1949 and he is the author of an important theory, the theory of multiple intelligence. The scope of his work is quite big. First of all his theory was elaborated in a time of a hegemonic conception of intelligence which believes that  people´s intelligence is measured only by their performance in the school tests. Gardner was highly critical about that because of the social stereotypes involved  because society labbels as a fool a person that didn´t had a good performance in the school grades but  doesn´t involve that the person is a real fool, it only means a person doesn´t have the abilities on that particular field. In summary the school was the best predictor of success in the person´s life.

 The theory of multiple intelligence was elaborated in 1983 and dictates that a person have at least seven different and separated intelligences. I like Gardner´s work because it opens a new way of thinking the concept of intelligence and also has opened a new way of teaching. There are many school nowadays that are using  Gardner´s work to create new forms of teaching and get a children's maximum potential.

The seven intelligences are:

Ø  Logic and mathematical intelligence

Ø  Spacial intelligence

Ø  Musical intelligence

Ø  Bodily kinesthetic intelligence

Ø  intrapersonal intelligence

Ø  interpersonal Intelligence

Ø  Naturalist Intelligence
