My Favorite Poem || The Revenant

The Revenant is the most beautiful poem I ever felt. 

Through those 156 minutes I saw, I lived, I was embraced by a lifetime film experience. 

I read the book by Michael Punke some months before and even when I was reading it, I was deeply touched by the extraordinary story of Hugh Glass and those men. 

When I finished reading, I was sure that only brilliant actors as Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy could perform Glass and Fitzgerald. 

I was anxious to see the film. But after, when I saw the film on theatre, I was out of my mind. 

It went beyond my expectations. 

I wasn't ready for such beauty and powerful images, sounds, costumes, music and above all, performances. 

I can't describe what I felt watching the film but in the end, as I was leaving the theatre, I felt I left my heart in those landscapes. 

So, thank you Mr. Alejandro G. Inarritu for your vision, thank you Mr. Leonardo DiCaprio for touching my heart and thank you Mr. Tom Hardy for, once again, you transcend yourself. But also to Will Poulter, to Domhnall Gleeson, to all the cast and with a special and deep thank you to all actors that performed the indigenous people and showed us one more time the deep wisdom and beautiful way of living and facing life. 

The Revenant took my heart. 

Time will pass by but it will remain forever as my favorite poem because it was made by visionary poets.

The First Woman to Vote in Portugal

Carolina Beatriz Ângelo (Guarda, 16 de Abril de 1878 — Lisboa, 3 de outubro de 1911) foi uma médica e feminista portuguesa. Foi a primeira mulher a votar no país, por ocasião das eleições da Assembleia Constituinte, em 1911.

Frequentou até ao Liceu em sua terra natal, Guarda. Posteriormente ingressou nas Escolas Politécnica e Médico-Cirúrgica em Lisboa, onde concluiu o curso de Medicina em 1902.

Sufragista, destacou-se como militante da Liga Republicana das Mulheres, fundadora e presidente da Associação de Propaganda Feminista.

O fato de ser viúva e ter de sustentar os seus filhos, permitiu-lhe invocar em tribunal o direito de ser considerada "chefe de família", tornando-se assim a primeira a votar no país, nas eleições constituintes, a 28 de maio de 1911. Por forma a evitar que tal exemplo pudesse ser repetido, a lei foi alterada no ano seguinte, com a especificação de que apenas os chefes de família do sexo masculino poderiam votar.

Cirurgiã e activista dos direitos femininos, Carolina Beatriz Ângelo foi a primeira mulher a votar em Portugal.

As mulheres portuguesas teriam de esperar por Salazar e pelo ano de 1931 para lhes ser concedido o direito de voto e, ainda assim, com restrições: apenas podiam votar as que tivessem cursos secundários ou superiores, enquanto para os homens continuava a bastar saber ler e escrever.

A lei eleitoral de Maio de 1946 alargou o direito de voto aos homens que, sendo analfabetos, pagassem ao Estado pelo menos 100 escudos de impostos e às mulheres chefes de família e às casadas que, sabendo ler e escrever, tivessem bens próprios e pagassem pelo menos 200 escudos de contribuição predial.

Em Dezembro de 1968 foi reconhecido o direito de voto político às mulheres, mas as Juntas de Freguesia continuaram a ser eleitas apenas pelos chefes de família. Só em 1974, já depois do 25 de Abril, seriam abolidas todas as restrições à capacidade eleitoral dos cidadãos tendo por base o género.

Carolina Beatriz Ângelo (Guarda, April 16, 1878 - Lisbon, October 3, 1911) was a doctor and Portuguese feminist. She was the first woman to vote in the country on the occasion of the Constituent Assembly elections in 1911.

She attended the high school in his native city, Guarda. Later she joined the Polytechnic School and Medical-Surgical in Lisbon, where she graduated in medicine in 1902.

Suffragette, stood out as a militant of the Republican Women's League, founder and president of the Feminist Propaganda Association.

Being a widow and having to support their children, allowed her to plead in court the right to be considered "householder", thus becoming the first to vote in the country in constituent elections on 28 May 1911. In order to prevent such example could be repeated, the law was changed the following year, specifying that only the male householders could vote.

Surgeon and activist for women's rights, Carolina Beatriz Ângelo was the first woman to vote in Portugal.

Portuguese women would have to wait for Salazar and by the year 1931 to be awarded the right to vote and yet, with restrictions: only could vote those who had secondary courses or higher, while for men it was still enough to read and write.

The electoral law of May 1946 extended the right to vote to men who, being illiterate, paid to the State at least 100 tax coins and family of the chief women and married that knowing how to read and write, had its own assets and paid by least 200 tax coins of property tax .

In December 1968 it was granted the right to political vote to women, but the parish councils continued to be elected only by householders. Only in 1974, already after the April 25, would be abolished all restrictions on the electoral capacity of citizens based on gender.

The Bohemian Word || Balzac

No século XV, passou a significar 'cigano' ou membro de tribos nomadas supostamente originárias da região da Boemia.

Já no século XVII, com Tallemant des Réaux, bohème passa a designar também o indivíduo "que leva uma vida desregrada", num estilo de vida caracterizado pela despreocupação com relação a bens materiais, a grandes projetos, às normas. Era para descrever uma vida à margem da sociedade e cultivar uma nova forma de liberdade de pensamento, e uma preocupação de usar nomeadamente roupas excêntricas.

O termo passa do francês ao português, na acepção do século XVII: 'vagabundo, indivíduo de vida desregrada' ou não convencional, eventualmente ligado às artes ou à literatura, ou mero aventureiro que vivia de forma despreocupada.

Nesse sentido, mais tarde, no século XIX surge um movimento artístico e literário, constituído à margem do movimento romântico, mais "aristocrático" e fora do uso da sua época.

Será Balzac, que em 1844, ao escrever Um Príncipe da Boémia, faz rasgados elogios a tal juvenil comportamento: «A palavra Boémia diz tudo. Ela não tem nada e vive de tudo. A esperança é a sua religião, a fé em si mesma é o código, a caridade o seu orçamento. Todos esses jovens são maiores do que o seu infortúnio, abaixo da sorte, mas acima do destino».

***

In the fifteenth century, it has come to mean 'Gypsy' or members of nomadic tribes allegedly originating in the Bohemia region.

In the seventeenth century, with Tallemant des Réaux, bohème shall also designate the individual "who leads a dissolute life," a lifestyle characterized by the lack of concern with regard to material goods, to large projects, standards. It was to describe a life on the margins of society and cultivate a new form of freedom of thought, and a concern to use such eccentric clothes.

The term goes from French to Portuguese within the meaning of the seventeenth century: 'bum, individual riotous living' or unconventional, possibly linked to the arts or literature, or mere adventurer who lived carefree manner.

In this sense, later, in the nineteenth century it appears an artistic and literary movement, made on the sidelines of the Romantic movement, more "aristocratic" and out of use of their time.

Balzac is that in 1844, when he wrote A Prince of Bohemia, is high praise to such juvenile behavior: "The Bohemian word says it all. She has nothing and lives of all. Hope is its religion, faith itself is the code, charity your budget. All these young people are bigger than their misfortune, below the luck, but above the target. "

The Wolf

Os índios americanos eram um povo profundamente espiritual e comunicavam a sua história, pensamentos, ideias e sonhos de geração em geração através de símbolos e sinais , como o símbolo do Lobo.

O Lobo simboliza direção e liderança assim como também proteção e destruição. O símbolo do lobo significa força, resistência, instinto ligado à inteligência, valores familiares e acreditavam que dava orientações em sonhos e meditação.

De acordo com o mito da criação Pawnee, o lobo foi a primeira criatura a experimentar a morte. Algumas tribos acreditavam que os lobos, uivando para a lua, eram seres espirituais que podiam falar com os deuses e conferir poderes mágicos.

The Portuguese Shawl : Origins

Use the scarf or shawl (the Persian shal) is very old, at least in the East, maybe it's originally from Kashmir, its main production center. In the West its use appears only in the early nineteenth century.

The use of the shawl seems to have been introduced to Europe around 1798 by French soldiers who made the campaign in Egypt.

They were very expensive, and the finest that were made of the hair of a goat that existed in northern India and its preparation took about a year.

However, in 1818, the French began to imitate the Shawl of Kashmir, but the warp was silk and woof in Tibetan goat hair and merino or Australian wool, maintaining the richness of colors and the beauty of typically oriental designs, but as its use has been disclosing any material or design served to your clothing.

In Portugal they entered slowly.

The first shawls have been brought by ship captains that offered to their wives. Initially were used as the house ornament, only later they began to appear at dances involving the shoulders of women.

O uso do xale ou xaile (do persa Shāl) é muito antigo, pelo menos no Oriente, defendo-se que será originário de Caxemira, o seu principal centro produtor. No ocidente o seu uso surge apenas no princípio do século XIX.

O uso do Xaile parece ter sido introduzido na Europa por volta de 1798 por soldados Franceses que fizeram a campanha no Egipto.

Eram muito caros, sendo mais finos os que se faziam do pêlo de uma cabra que existia no norte da Índia e a sua confecção levava cerca de um ano.

Todavia, em 1818, os Franceses, começaram a imitar o Xaile de Caxemira, mas a urdidura era de seda e a trama em pêlo de cabra do Tibete e lã merina ou Australiana, mantendo a riqueza das cores e a beleza dos desenhos tipicamente orientais, mas à medida que o seu uso se foi divulgando, qualquer matéria ou desenho servia para a sua confecção.

Em Portugal entraram lentamente.

Os primeiros xailes teriam sido trazidos pelos capitães de navios que os ofereciam a suas esposas. Inicialmente foram utilizados como ornamento da casa, só posteriormente começaram a aparecer em bailes envolvendo os ombros das senhoras.

Arte é um mundo!

A arte não é para ser compreendida, uma vez que ela surge dos mais inúmeros artistas e todos eles diferentes entre si, cada um com o seu traço único e com a sua sensibilidade, daí dizer que ela tem como único objetivo exprimir. 

Na arte não há um estilo simples ou complexo nem mesmo estranho ou vulgar, na Arte existe ideias vulgares e ideias complexas e existem sensações simples e sensações complexas, tudo isto é uma variante conforme o estilo, a expressão, o sentimento de cada criativo.

O sentimento exposto na obra pode ser interpretado de duas maneiras, quando um criativo escreve, pinta, esculpe pode estar sob duas condições, consumido pelo sentimento ou consumido pela Arte, a Arte nasce sempre de uma paixão por muito vaga que essa seja torna-se sempre num mundo diferente, infinito onde cada centímetro é um turbilhão de sentimentos.  

Somente pela Arte podemos sair de nós mesmos.

Penso que a Arte se baseia na vida, não como um corpo mas como uma forma, pois esta é produto direto do nosso pensamento ou seja a Obra de Arte é um pensamento tornado vida, quase como um desejo tornado realidade. O mundo é formado de Arte, nós não nos damos conta de como a Arte nos trespassa de todo o lado, a musica, a literatura, uma simples flor, um outdoor são alguma das infinitas formas de Arte que nos chegam das quais não nos apercebemos.

A Arte é a essência da vida tornando-a diferente a cada dia que passa.

The exceptional Revenant

The 73rd Golden Globe Awards took place at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on last 10th January and it was as amazing night for The Revenant.

So well deserved the Golden Globe for Best Actor Drama for Leonardo DiCaprio for The Revenant, the best director for Alejandro Inarritu and for sure the best movie for The Revenant!

Amazing and powerful acceptance speech of Leonardo DiCaprio calling everyone attention to protect native lands and their legacy. So deep words spoken with emotion by the brilliant actor.

Really can't wait for the premiere at Portugal to go see it, I had read the book and fall in love with the story. I was reading it and trying to imagine how Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy would play their parts and only masters of cinema can bring alive that incredible story.

Here goes my fav from that night from Leonardo DiCaprio always so elegant, to Harrison Ford, to the ladies specially Jennifer Lawrence in a stunning red color, Julianne Moore and Kate Winslet both in a beautiful blue to the beautiful family of Sylvester Stallone dating the dad.

Hollywood knows how to present us with glamour and it was there, but there's more to come, more awards and the final big night, the Oscars.

See you there!

Lot's of luv,

PCf
