Hello friends, welcome to my blog, I love the theme of this week's contest because it gives me the opportunity to bring this movie that is one of my favorites, directed by Steven Soderbergh and starring one of my favorite actresses Julia Roberts, this film released in 2000, brings to the table one of the global problems that thousands of people around the world suffer, environmental pollution caused by unscrupulous companies that throw their industrial waste into the environment without measuring the repercussions for all living beings and the environmental ecosystem in general.
Hola amigos, bienvenidos a mi blog, me encanta el tema del concurso de esta semana porque me da la oportunidad de traer esta película que es una de mis favoritas, dirigida por Steven Soderbergh y protagonizada por una de mis actrices favoritas Julia Roberts, esta cinta estrenada en el 2000, nos trae al tapete uno de los problemas mundiales que miles de personas en todo el mundo sufre, la contaminación ambiental originada por empresas inescrupulosas que lanzan sus desechos industriales al medio ambiente sin medir las repercusiones para todos los seres vivos y el ecosistema ambiental en general.
Based on real events, this film shows us that the struggle of a single person can generate and trigger events that change the course of things. In a small California farm town, Hinkley, children and adults are gradually falling ill with cancer. With a high rate of cancer patients, this caught the attention of a woman who worked as a file clerk in a law office, Erin, begins to investigate and discover what is really happening, and begins his struggle to prove that a powerful company, Pacific Gas and Electricity, is behind what is happening in the town.
Basada en hechos reales, esta cinta nos demuestra que la lucha de una sola persona puede generar y desencadenar acontecimientos que cambien en rumbo de las cosas. En una pequeña localidad granjera de California, Hinkley, se empiezan a enfermar niños y adultos, paulatinamente de cáncer. Con un índice elevado de pacientes con cáncer, esto llamó la atención de una mujer que trabajaba como archivista en una oficina de abogados, Erin, comienza a investigar y descubrir lo que en realidad está ocurriendo, así comienza su lucha por demostrar que una poderosa compañía, Pacific Gas and Electricity, está detrás de lo que pasa en el pueblo.
For me, one of the best things is to see how a woman, a mother, considered a fool and judged for the way she dressed, broke with the labels that society imposed on her and achieved the unthinkable by beating a powerful company that underestimated her, besides demonstrating to her coworkers that she was much more than a stereotype, earning their respect. She was able to achieve, with her perseverance and hard work, that all the affected families united to fight together against the company that was making them sick. This was what made it possible to take action against this company.
Para mí una de las mejoras cosas es ver como una mujer, madre, considerada como una tonta y que además por su manera de vestir, juzgada, rompió con las etiquetas que la sociedad le impuso y logró lo impensable ganarle a una empresa poderosa que la subestimo, además de demostrar a sus compañeros de trabajo que era mucho más que un estereotipo, ganándose su respeto. Ella supo lograr, con su perseverancia y trabajo, que todas las familias afectadas se unieran para luchar juntas en contra de la empresa que los estaban enfermando. Esto fue lo que permitió que se pudieran tomar acciones en contra de esta compañía.
When we talk about winning for me is to achieve the goals we set and what we fight for, sometimes we can do it alone, but in others, as in this film, to fight against such a big monster we need to be united and be many fighting for the same cause. Making a difference in a world where money is the most important thing, no matter if it affects others, is not easy, but when Erin won, she did not do it for the money, she did it to save a town from death, to save and begin to change the mentality of a company that did not care about polluting the environment, but only understands the language of money.
Cuando hablamos de ganar para mí es lograr los objetivos que planteamos y por lo que luchamos, algunas veces podemos hacerlos solos, pero en otras, como en esta cinta, para luchar contra un monstruo tan grande necesitamos estar unidos y ser muchos luchando por una misma causa. Hacer la diferencia en un mundo donde el dinero es lo más importante, sin importar si eso afecta a otros, no es sencillo, pero cuando Erin, ganó, no lo hizo por el dinero, lo hizo para salvar un pueblo de la muerte, para salvar y comenzar a cambiar la mentalidad de una empresa que no le importo contaminar el ambiente, pero que solo entiende el lenguaje del dinero.
Winning, changed the lives of everyone involved, changed the way a company handled its waste, changed the laws so that a government would make sure that these companies should and had to be careful with their industrial waste under penalty of fines and exemplary punishments. All of us have small battles that we have won, in different stages of our lives, in sports, academic and professional, each one of them teach us and give us courage to have new goals. Winning and losing is part of our life, but regardless of the results, the important thing is to always fight for what we believe in and the goals we set for ourselves.
Ganar, cambio la vida de todos los involucrados, cambio la forma de como una empresa manejaba sus desechos, cambio las leyes para que un gobierno se cerciorara de que estas empresas debían y tenían que ser cuidadosa con sus desechos industriales so pena de multas y castigos ejemplares. Todos nosotros tenemos pequeñas batallas que hemos ganado, en distintas etapas de nuestras vidas, en los deportes, académicas y profesionales, cada una de ellas nos enseñan y nos dan valor para tener nuevas metas. Ganar como perder es parte de nuestra vida, pero indiferentemente de los resultados, lo importante es luchar siempre por lo que creemos y las metas que nos propongamos.
