LOS ANGELES - WRITING A REVIEW by Helder Prado https://padlet.com/lablinguasprof01/b4fh03wus8b8r087 You're going to write a review of an artist whose work you like. en-us 2021-03-26 11:06:01 UTC 2021-03-31 19:10:19 UTC hello@padlet.com Freddie Mercury https://padlet.com/lablinguasprof01/b4fh03wus8b8r087/wish/1365983946 Freedie Mercury is considerate like one the most versatile performs of the world. He was a singer-songwriter and talented and innovative musician in the 1970s and 1980s. He founded the Queen, a rock band in London, with your partners Roger Taylor, Brian May and John Deacon in 1971, when I was born. In my oppinion, he is unique, a fabulous performer of all the times.  One of the best quotes is: “I love the fact that I can make people happy, in any form. Even if it is just an hour of their lives, if I can make them feel lucky or make them feel good, or bring a smile to a sour face, that to me is worthwhile”. He always was absolutely confident, he told once: ‘I won’t be a rock star. I will be a legend.” I agree he became a legend, and so do that millions old and new fans that watched the Bohemian Rhapsody, a 2018 British-American biographical drama film about him. Unfortunately, Freddie died of AIDS-related bronchial pneumonia on November 24, 1991, at age 45.]]> 2021-03-29 22:38:10 UTC https://padlet.com/lablinguasprof01/b4fh03wus8b8r087/wish/1365983946 About Tony Ramos erikahama64 https://padlet.com/lablinguasprof01/b4fh03wus8b8r087/wish/1366343104  Although his full name is Antônio de Carvalho Barbosa, everyone knows him as Tony Ramos. He was born in Arapongas on August 25, 1948. He is married and he has two children. I have seen his spectacular performance in novels, productions, plays. To me, he is absolutely fantastic. Tony Ramos said " as a boy, I dreamed of being an actor. When I was young I watched the films of Oscarito and I wanted to be like him". However, as his fan, I think he was born to be a great actor. Despite being best- known as a novel actor ( Dance with me, Summer Sun, Free to Fly, Baby on Board, Queen of Trash, Happiness, Family Ties, etc...), he has worked on comedies and one of his great box office success was "If I were you" and after "If I were you 2". These movies really made me laugh. It was absolutely hilarious. Consequently, Tony Ramos is considered by his professional colleagues to be a person of integrity and good mood.]]> 2021-03-30 01:39:36 UTC https://padlet.com/lablinguasprof01/b4fh03wus8b8r087/wish/1366343104 Akira Kurosawa https://padlet.com/lablinguasprof01/b4fh03wus8b8r087/wish/1366391242 Akira Kurozawa was a director whose movies include Dersu Uzula, The seven Samurais, Dodeska, Kaguemusha, Ran and others.  I have seen some of this movie, and in my opinion, Kurosawa is the best Japanese director. Despite being Japanese he crossed the border of Japan.
At the beginning of your professional life. He was a painter, consequently his movies there was a paint pictures as “storyboard”.   His passion for arts, mainly literature gave him many inspiration for his works. The movie “Ran” is based on the book “Rei Lear” from William Shakespeare.
In spite of the movie “Dersu Uzula” winning the Oscar for the best foreign film, for him “Ran” was the “work of his life”.  On the other hand , the most famous is “the Seven Samurais”, there also Americans’ version .
The movie “Dersu Uzula , it’s only movie shot entirely outside of Japan, it was shooting in Siberia. For me, it is amazing, fascinating and unforgettable with really beautiful landscape.

Chester Bennington was the lead singer from a large successful nu metal band in the turn of the century called Linkin Park.  Chester gained notoriety with their first studio album "Hybrid Theory", it quickly became a sales and critical success, the album combined alternative metal with rap elements, by the end of the year it would sell 30millions copies around the word, because of this large sale "Hybrid Theory" became the best selling rock album of the century.
however.
In contrast with this apparent success, his life  was never easy, in the childhood Chester was a victim of sexual abuse, developing a lot of psychological disorders until became addicted in drugs over the years. he found in the music a way to express her feelings and also as your exhaust valve. he was known by her energetic performance, the interaction with the crowd and for his unique vocal range. Chester married twice and had six children, in the past years Bennington was evolved and known for his awareness work about mental health, and spoke it openly as a way to inspire and aware about it. however after several years fighting against his demons,  Chester was found dead in his house.
In addiction to enjoying your work as a musician, i also attach a lot of value to your words and lessons about mental health, something very important but also ignored in our times  ]]> 2021-03-31 13:05:34 UTC https://padlet.com/lablinguasprof01/b4fh03wus8b8r087/wish/1371632568 Chico Buarque lclerner https://padlet.com/lablinguasprof01/b4fh03wus8b8r087/wish/1372166593 Chico Buarque is a very famous artist in the world, where people speaks portughese language.

He is an musician, a singer, a writer, a composer, and a poet. He started as a musician in the decade of 60, and his first book was written in 1991, but in 1967 he wrote his first  theater play, Roda Viva. 

Although he is best-known as a musician, he is a terrific writer. I think that two or three of his books was transformed in movies and his last book, The Germain Brother is unforgettable. It is a mixing of reality and fiction, and in my opinion it’s his best work as a writer.

As a fascinating composer, he is known because his letters were claims against the tirany of our governants in the 60s and 70s, in last century.

He told once that “…the censure Department in Brasil was so ridiculous!! The people, who worked there, was very fool. They stamped in a paper – our songs - “Censured” and then we changed just one word and submitted it again, and the paper came back: OK!! But the claims continued there. All of them!!! There was any sense, how as in any dictatorship govern!!”.
