1. In general, what did you like and dislike about the film?

 I like the story behind the film, because you can see a different reality.  In addition, I love the reggae music, and investigate this movie was very important for the process to popularize this type of music.

  When I think in my best summer vacation, I remember this winter vacations. In this holidays, I visited with my mom the south of Chile, specifically in Purranque, a little town in ten region. In this little town I lived a big part of my childhood, because my parents from here and the most part of my family still live in the nears of the town. This vacations are special because I don´t visited the south of Chile in three years and I don´t see my family in all this time. I love the south of Chile, I love the towns, the people, the food and the landscaspe. In the future I would live here, because the peaceful this places give me it´s not compare with Santiago or other cities. In January I would go to the Torres del Paine with my school friends, this travel is very special because we are friends since twelve years ago.
