Tybalt

The most famous love story in the world surely is Shakespeare's Rome & Juliet. This story has a couple of representations, one of these being the 1996 movie in which Leonardo DiCaprio represents Romeo and Claire Danes represents Juliet. This movie presented the story in a complete new way, combining modern environments and some comedy with a classic drama story. Some of the characters in the movie were really great, since they were just as imagined by most people but the one that really made the movie worth it  was the one represented by John Leguizamo: Tybalt.

Tybalt is the  actual definition of a bad guy. From his latin-killer looks, to his rockstar attitude, this guy's only mission in life is to kill the Montegues. From the beginning of the movie, till his death, Tybalt's only wish is to fight and kill anyone who belongs to the enemy family. The reason for this: because he wants to. He just can't help it: he hates Romeo! In fact, the whole story just changes when he finally goes looking for him and ends up dead in a fountain. He was willing to kill him even when he was not defending himself at all.

In the movie, Tybalt adds a bit of humor to the story. His clothes are both interesting and funny. Even though he is meant to be seen as the serious  bad guy who dresses properly and everything, he looks funny! His virgin decorations all over his shirts make such contrast with the rest of his clothes that it is like a formal joke, one that is not meant to mock at something but just to entertain the audience. Also, he looks kind of like a latin bullfighter. The way he wears his pants, makes him look like he is wearing a traditional bullfighter costume and this also applies to his gang, so they kind of match up. His movements are hilarious! When he is in the middle of the gunfight against Romeo's gang, his tango-like movements make him look so funny but without loosing the bad-guy style!

Not only does he look bad, he's got his very own style! The way he talks just makes you believe he is a dangerous man. His voice tone is always showing how mad he is and how much he hates everyone. Even though his accent is kind of sharp, you understand what he is saying and how he feels when he talks: simply angry! He is kind of like a rockstar! Although he is supposed to be a teenager, he smokes which gives him that super-bad look. Also, his car is just something else! It isn't something a regular teenager would drive around in.

Tybalt is your classic bad guy, but with a twist. The way he talks, dresses and acts. He's so bad he is the reason why the story turns the completely around. He is kind of funny, but without loosing the respect to this own character. He is one of the coolest villains ever seen in movies, his mere presence just adds danger to the scene but something else... he's got his own style!

“Transformers” is a great movie!

Over the past few years we have seen lots of science-fiction movies. Some of them are great others aren’t that lucky. Contrary to some opinions, the movie “Transformers” is one of the greatest science-fiction movies ever made.
In the first place, it has the best visual effects. The effects in this movie look highly realistic. You actually believe all those cars actually transform into high-tech alien robots. The scenes in the movie that are made by computer blend correctly with the rest of the movie. It’s not like some parts don’t go with the rest of it.
In second place, it shows some of the best and fastest cars out there. The Camaro for example, it’s one of the classic ponycars of all times which goes from 0-60 mph in only 4.7s. The Mustang GT, another classic ponycar goes from 0-60 mph in 4.7s. And of course the Solstice, not a ponycar but it can go from 0-60 mph in just 5.5s
In the third place, the story easily gets you. You feel identified with the characters. From the high school guy who wants a girl to be with him, to the hot chick everyone wants to be with.
“Transformers” has the best visual effects, presents the world some of the coolest rides and makes the audience feel attached to the story. If you’re a great science-fiction movie fan, this is a must-see for you. And even if you aren’t I’m sure you’ll like this movie.

Heroes

When you hear the word "hero", pictures of super-strong men or women with extraordinary abilities usually come to your mind, when I was a kid however I found out this was just a comic-book thing; in real life, heroes are regular men or women who risk their lives to protect the ones who need it. The day I realized this was the day I heard the story about how my dad had risked his own life to protect me from some guy who wanted to kidnap me.

“It was a regular day” he told me “I was waiting in the car with you in my arms just outside the school your sister went at. We had been waiting for at least half an hour for your mom to come back with your sister when this stranger came up to me and asked me where a street was. I didn't recognize the street name he told me (and I seriously doubt it even existed), so he turned around and so did I. I never should have done that. The second I turned around he took out a gun, pointed it at me and started yelling:  “Get to the back seat and leave the kid in the front seat!” over and over again, to which I continuously answered “No! Take the car and just let us go!” and then he must have gotten nervous to see I didn’t obey him, so he decided to hit me in the forehead with his gun. The impact triggered the gun and I will never forget the strenuous and terrifying sound that came with the shot, which scared everyone around: you started crying, people started screaming and even the strange man froze for a few seconds, luckily (and for some reason I could not explain) I didn’t. The second I saw the man distracted, I got out of the car with you in my arms and started running as fast as I could and watched from a distance as the man tried to turn the car on but failed since it was an imported car and had a little trick for the engine to start. So the man left without achieving anything other than scaring every person in the surroundings.”

Obviously I wasn’t able to understand what was really happening the day the strange man approached my father, but when he told me that story I realized what the word “hero” means. That day I realized I knew who my hero was, and would always be: my dad.
