The Golden Compass (Review)

I’ll talk about the film “The Golden Compass” directed by Chris Weitz which is an adapted script from the book with the same name, this fairy tale takes place in a alternating universe where the magic, demons and witches really exist. The film’s main characters are interpreted by consecrated actors like Nicole Kidman (“The Others”, “Eyes Wide Shut”), Daniel Craig ( a.k.a James Bond) and Ian McKellen (“The Da Vinci Code”, “The Lord Of The Rings”); in addition to this there’s a very young cast.

This story rotates around the “dust” which seems to be something magic and at the same time something forbidden, not less important is the golden compass which is an strange gadget to know the truth behind the people and only one person can read it, this person is Lyra a little girl with a unknown past; she realizes that a conspiracy against children and their demons has been planed and somehow the “dust” is involved, in order to stop this plans she starts a journey where she finds some strange and magic friends who will help her across weird lands and seas.

This film has a great soundtrack with some african rhythms and classical music, another excellent detail is the photography which helps to create the illusion and atmosphere of a fantastic wolrd with strange places, transportation and wardrobe.

“The Golden Compass” is an interesting film, good for a weekend with children who will find some fun and a fantastic story. If you are looking for a serious film, this won’t be an option.

In a world where every movie trailer starts with "In a world....". Jajaja.

Water pollution

a) Problem description
b) Causes
c) Effects
d) Possible solutions
e) Conclusions

a) Planet earth, also known as the blue planet and thats true, 70% of the surface is water but our water isn't only a surface, unfortunately only 2.59% is drinkable. Of this 2.59% onother porcent is caught in form of polar caps, wich is 2%. The rest of the water is underground (0.592%), and river's, lake's water is only the 0.014%. But worst is that this small porcent is being polluted in high levels and in several ways.
If we don't start a change in our habits with water soon, in the future the consequences will be hopeless, that's why water pollution is an actual priority.

b) Most water pollution doesn't begin in the water itself. Take the oceans: around 80 percent of ocean pollution enters our seas from the land. Virtually any human activity can have an effect on the quality of our water environment. When farmers fertilise the fields, the chemicals they use are gradually washed by rain into the groundwater or surface waters nearby. Sometimes the causes of water pollution are quite surprising. Chemicals released by smokestacks (chimneys) can enter the atmosphere and then fall back to earth as rain, entering seas, rivers, and lakes and causing water pollution. Water pollution has many different causes and this is one of the reasons why it is such a difficult problem to solve.

c) There's a lot of effects that water pollution has left, the most importat is the low level of avaible water for human consumption, another several problem is the extinctionof many species, many infections and diseases have the water as a way for reproduction, among others.
We have countless examples:
Pollution of freshwater (drinking water) is a problem for about half of the world's population.
-Each year there are about 250 million cases of water-related diseases, with roughly 5 to 10 million deaths.
-Diseases caused by the ingestion of water contaminated with pathogenic bacteria, viruses, or parasites include: cholera, typhoid, schistosomiasis, dysentery and other diarrheal diseases.
-Each year, plastic waste in water and coastal areas kills up to: 100,000 marine mammals, 1 million sea birds, and countless fish.
-ETC.

d) It is hard to give a solution, because is not a easy problem, but there are two point where the problem can be attacked:
1.- Education. Unfortunately a lack of ambiental education exist nowadays and is our responsability avoid it, how? being a example for our future generations -monkey see monkey do-.
2.- Laws. The laws about water pollution are poor, and many people take andvantage of this fact, again, unfortunately this desicion take place on the hands of a minority.

e) We have the decision of what kind of world is the one that we want.
