Original advertisement The document we are dealing with is a non-commercial advertisement of the road safety, it was done in no country for real and was released in September 2007. So... this photo shows a parking spot around an imposing tree, a frightening tree, on the roadside . At the bottom is specified in white capital letters "RESERVED FOR DRUNK DRIVERS" as a catch phrase. Thus we can conclude that it's a vivid illustration of the consequences of drinking and driving. Indeed we obviously cannot a normal car here without hitting the tree, This tree is actually a fateful symbol, a hint of the important amount of accidents due to drinking, that would be the first cause of mortality on road, or at least in France. They want to convey to the audience the message that we could end up in a tree if we drink too much before driving. It's aimed at those who have the bad habit of drinking alcohol, I mean the alcoholics of course, and the young students or other people who just loves going partying at night. Its goal is to deter people from hitting the road after drinking, at a party or a night club for example, and convince them to prefer stay overnight or call a taxi, ask somebody to take them back home, you see... if necessary. At the end of the day, putting aside the shocking side our mind can create from all the car crashes in trees we could've heard of, the absurdity of the situation, that is to say to park one's car in a tree, makes it more humorous than fatalist to my mind, and that can be the reason why it's so effective, I think more than standard methods using scare tactics and featuring real accidents. Thank you!

The serial killer has stricken again. Until now the killer has eluded the police as regards the case of the serial killing near Edmonton but they are still investigating while an eighth corpse has just been found by a couple of middle-aged men in a picnic area on the roadside of a highway. They were on the way of their summer cottage where they've been going every year for 5 years. The victim is 20 and he would have died from a point-blank headshot according to the autopsy report. A kid fitting perfectly the killer's description covered by the police has been remanded in custody as he was seen yesterday night by the manager of the filling station in a red car with the victim at the wheel, close to the crime scene a few minutes before the estimated hour of the murder. The police has never been so close to arrest the killer since the murder of his fourth victim, the case of the strangled kid found in the restroom of a gas station, that the police were investigating for 4 months in this same area. They are currently looking for this car and the witness is still giving his statement at the police station of Edmonton. He's an elderly man, he's been managing this gas station for only one month and lives in a little house there, far from every social contact, without television set or radio, alone with the silence he loves so much according to his eldest daughter. The suspect has not confessed yet and will be set free if no piece of evidence will have been found by Monday. I need your corrections please.

Presentación de la película "Volver" La película que he elegido se llama Volver porque la vi hace 3 años en francés pero no me recordaba nada de la historia. Por eso la vio una secunda vez en Español sin subtítulos porque es un poco difícil encontrarla con ellos para cumplir esta misión. Fue escrita y dirigida por el famoso Pedro Almodóvar que es un director de cine, guionista y productor español nacido en Calzada de Calatrava en la provincia de Ciudad Real, es decir en la Comunidad Autónoma de Castilla-La Mancha el 24 de septiembre de 1949. Entonces, que significa esto? Un poco de geografía para situarse mejor, sino sirve para nada, aquí está el mapa de España y aquí la Comunidad Autónoma de Castilla-La Mancha que es dividida en 5 provincias como lo podemos ver aquí. Ciudad Real es una de estas donde está Calzada de Calatrava aquí. Recibió múltiples premios como por ejemplo dos premios Óscar, en diversas categorías y su cine cultiva un naturalismo que destruye el usual costumbrismo burgués del cine español. Volver se estrenó en 2006 y recibió más de 40 premios internacionales. Está interpretada por Carmen Maura en el papel de Abuela Irene, Lola Dueñas actuando Sole, Chus Lampreave como Tía Paula y sobre todo Penélope Cruz que desempeña el papel de Raimunda. Es la historia de Raimunda, una mujer fuerte luchadora y frágil emocionalmente que vivía en Madrid con su marido Paco en paro y su hija adolescente Paula. Tiene una hermana mayor tímida y miedosa Sole que gana su vida como peluquera ilegalmente. Un día aprenden que su tía Paula ha muerto en su pueblo donde las dos hermanas pasaron su infancia y donde sus padres murieron en un incendio, o a lo menos es lo que piensan. Pero Sole tiene que ir sola al entierro porque Raimunda encuentra a su marido muerto clavado con un cuchillo y está preocupada por salvar a su hija que le confiesa que es ella que lo mató porque su padre, borracho, intentó abusar de ella. Así Raimunda va a empezar a mentir a su hermana y tratar de desembarazarse del cuerpo mientras que Sole al regresar del funeral encuentra a lo que cree ser el fantasma de su abuela en su maletero que está sería de vuelta del otro mundo por el secreto que Raimunda esconde desde niña y Sole va a esconderla en su peluquería. Esto es el principio de una historia donde la muerte y la relaciones familiares son el centro del acción en un guión dominado por las mujeres y pienso que os gustarais si decidís verlo, en español por supuesto.
