Motörhead, Tarja and Airbourne.....In the same show!!! an unforgettable night.

Last night I went to the town of Colmar, to see an amazing show in France: the Hard Rock Session. The purpose of this show is to bring together several rock groups to engage them in a huge concert to the delight of the metalheads. This year, there were four groups: a French group, Blackrain. The Finnish singer and my queen of metal, Tarja. The Australian band, Airbourne. And to finish the concert, a legendary band in the world of rock, Motörhead.

Blackrain began the concert. I do not know much about this group for now, but it was pretty cool and dynamic. Their look is truly original, and one would think a rock band of the 70s.

After Blackrain, it was time for the Queen of Metal, Tarja. When she came on stage, dressed in a beautiful blue dress, my heart started beating very fast and I have scream like a mad man. She is so beautiful in the videos, but when I saw her in live, I found her even more beautiful. Her enchanting voice mesmerized me throughout the concert, and she even sang a song Nightwish "Over the hills and far away." I was really glad she did it. At the end of her concert, me and the entire crowd we've screaming and we've applauded all our strength for her, and Tarja was really happy, she almost shed tears of joy. During the concert, I shouted several times, "I love you Tarja," but I do not know if she heard me. The important thing is that I could see her, and it was a magical moment in my life. 

After Tarja and the metal world, we entered in the world of rock and roll, with the Australian band, Airbourne. I know the group since few months on the internet through their music videos, and I really wanted to see them in real life. Well, I have not been disappointed with their performance, on the contrary, it was Rock and Roll! I was completely crazy, like the rest of the crowd. The singer, Joel O'Keeffe climbed the bleachers to sing at the top and sprinkled the crowd with beer. This guy is completely crazy, but really cool. Airbourne sang her biggest hits, like "Live it Up", "Runnin' Wild" or "No way aim the Hard Way." A great time rock and roll, as we like.

To end the concert, there was the group I was waiting impatiently. A legend in the world of rock. The one and only ..... Motörhead! When the band started the concert, and I saw Lemmy Kilmister for the first time in my life, I almost shed a tear of joy, I was so excited and happy to finally see him. Motörhead made ​​a performance worthy of their legend, and I'm really pleased that Lemmy feels better, because he was very ill earlier this year, and I was afraid that he was forced to delete the dates in France. Motörhead sang some songs of their success as "Ace of Spades" and "Overkill". Me and the whole crowd, we've shouted "Lemmy" for several minutes, to show that we were really happy to see him healthy. He smiled at this welcome for him, he was really happy. Motörhead has the reputation to being the loudest band in the world. Well, I can confirm that this is true. Leaving the room, I was half deaf, but damn, it was so awesome!

Thank you so much, Motörhead, Tarja and Airbourne, for this legendary show. You were awesome, and I hope to see you again, one day!!!!

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes: a Masterpiece of a Legendary Saga

Today I went to the cinema to see a movie I waited impatiently: "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" the sequel of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes."
I already loved the first movie, but the second is even better. Darker, a little more action and also moving moments. I'll tell the positives and also the rare little disappointments I've seen in this amazing film.

The story takes place ten years after the first film. Caesar now lives in the forest with his family and his community, in a wooden fortress away from humans. Caesar did not want war with the humans, he wants to live in peace with them, but without being in contact. A group of humans comes into their territory, but do not want to hurt them. At this moment, Malcolm and Ellie, the two main humans of the film, have befriended with Caesar and want what the apes want: to survive and live in peace. Unfortunately, the greed of some men and apes will threaten the peace and lead to a confrontation that seems inevitable. As Caesar said: "War begins!"

The positives:

The script is basic, but very effective. Caesar has a family now, a wife and two son, he wants to protect them at all costs. One might think that Caesar hates humans, but in reality, he wants to give them a chance, because he knows that all humans are not killers. He wants to believe in the goodness of some humans, and that, it proves that Caesar showed more humanity than some men, then that it is a ape. This is why Caesar is my favorite saga character: it is a ape, but with a good man's heart.

The villain of the film is not a man but a ape: Koba, the Lieutenant of Caesar. If Caesar wants that the humans and the apes live in peace, Koba wants to make war against them. It has a boundless hatred for humans since the torture that he suffered in experimental laboratories, which proves its scars on his face and body. Koba is ready at all to eradicate humans, even kill his own brothers and its leader to take his place. Moreover, I was very scared at one point of the movie because I thought Koba had killed Caesar, but finally, Caesar comes back and kills Koba, in an incredible battle at the top of a tower. My only disappointment is that Koba became wicked. It was a very interesting character, and I think it's a pity that it is became like what it hated: a human. But also, I find it interesting that even monkeys can become bad, like humans. Moreover, Caesar realizes when he knows that Koba has trying to kill it, and it told his son: I thought apes were better than humans, but I was wrong. We are like them. "

The end is very beautiful and moving. Caesar killed Koba and took over his place of leadership, but he also knows that an army of humans is on the way towards them, and that confrontation is inevitable. It asked then has his human friend, Malcolm, to flee with his family, to give them a chance to survive. This suggests that Caesar will stay with his army to fight, and give a chance to his new friends to survive. 

I put the note of 10/10 to the movie, because I have not been disappointed once (except for Koba, but I do not take that into consideration). This film is a masterpiece, and I hope that the sequel will be just as epic. Go Apes! Go Caesar! War begins ...... Now!
