Multicultural 2015

Probably the Biggest Event At My School...

I participated this year (and I will be participating every year) singing "Porque te vas" by Jeanette. It was really cool and I guess I should have posted this a lot sooner, because this all happened last week on 5/22/15.

I have been getting a lot of comments. One of my friends who was also in the show said her aunt cried when I was singing, because of how passionate I was. My Spanish teacher said that I surprised her, because I was always so quiet in class. I'm really glad I did it. =)

Line up:

1st- Girl singing Ave Maria

2nd- Folkloric Dancing by 4 girls (these were freshmen)

3rd- Japanese Dancing to Senbon Zakura!!!

4th- More Folkloric Dancing by 4 girls (these were upperclassmen)

5th- ME SINGING IN SPANISH!!!

6th- Group of 6 dancing to "Waka Waka" by Shakira

7th- Group of 8 (includes one of my friends) dancing to 2 songs

8th- 2 girls singing with 1 on guitar

9th- 4 dances from the Philippines.

10th- Ethiopian Dancing

11th- Bollywood Dancing

And that was that. =) I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting something here, but...too bad...

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari

Quite the movie...

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari) is a 1920 German horror silent film. The film is about an insane hypnotist who uses a somnambulist (basically a sleep walker) to commit murders. There is not much to say about the story itself when that is really all of the basic plot. The movie is more of an art form as were most silent films at the time. Since there are no words except the occasional frames with dialogue in them, you can imagine that the acting was very passionate and had to speak for itself.
It's a horror film, yes, it is actually scary. It's not your "something popped out of the closet" kind of scary. It's a psychological kind of scary towards the end and a suspenseful scary in the beginning.

If you notice in silent films when the frames are edited you can see where somethings are cut out. It's kind of hard to explain, but if you understand what I mean then you'll know what I'm talking about. If you do get what I'm saying, then you'll know that the way the frames are edited (most likely NOT on purpose) adds to the creepiness.

I'd like to say that I wasn't going to watch the whole thing, because I thought it was going to be boring, but it was great. 4/5

If you do decide to watch this movie, you'll love the ending.

Also, the actress Lil Dagover is very pretty:

Here's the film. Hope you enjoy:
