It may be because since I was a kid I love to write and tell stories, create alternate worlds, and obviously, because I love watching movies.
In my childhood, and part of adolescence, I never had it clear what I wanted to be when I grew, I just knew I wanted something related to movies, not for vanity or ambition to be famous, just because I loved the idea of telling histories and convey feelings through images that you could capture with a camera.Like any other kid, my first contact with cinema was the Disney movies, but thanks to my parents, at a very young age I began to see other movies. The first non-animated film I remember seeing was "Forget Paris" with Billy Crystal, highly recommended, before seeing this movie, the "Adult Movies", as then I used to call them, seemed boring for me, I believed that all of them treated of the same, except black and white, these only lacked colored. But "Forget Paris" managed to keep me interested in the story and in the gags.I became interested in movies similar to this one, I began to see Woody Allen and
Mel Brooks movies.The first thing I began to identify in movies was the actors. With the passage of time I began to identify directors, their style and themes.
At an older age I elaborated reviews and comparisons between films, mainly comparing styles, the themes concerning, and the way they addressed them.From an early age I consider myself a cinephile, and since I was a kid I love comedy, because for me is a very clever way to show and criticize our reality. The good cinema is a universal form of communication, I don't mean it by language, but because a well made film can be understood even if it is spoken in another language, because all human beings are able to recognize a gesture of anguish, fear, sadness, a smile and of course, laughter.You could see "Barry Lyndon" from Kubrick, in mute and still could understand the story.
I love cinema because it is the perfect blend of image and sound, because it is the best way to tell a story and to give to understand. But I especially love movies and filmmaking because I can do things like this:
