El polémico golpe de Lady Gaga a DiCaprio en los Globos de Oro
Si bien puede que no resulte ser una sorpresa que la cantante ganara el galardón de actriz secundaria, el golpe que le dio a Leonardo DiCaprio al recibir el premio si lo fue.
Lady Gaga suele sorprender por extravagancia, pero en este caso, fue por el golpe que le dio a Leonardo DiCaprio cuando se levantó de su asiento para caminar al escenario de los Golden Globe.
Tal como informó el medio DailyMail, Lady Gaga mostró cierta inestabilidad en su caminar y pasó a dar un certero golpe a DiCapio. Éste intentó que el hecho pasara inadvertido, pero no fue capaz de contener la risa.

La cantante además llamó la atención por su vestido, bastante alejado de lo que tiene acostumbrado al público. Un modelo clásico negro de los años 50, que junto a su peinado, la hacían verse muy parecida a Marilyn Monroe.
The film tells the story of an archetypal human life using images
taken from all around the world and the last 100 years of cinema.
The images span the microcosm (inside the body), through the
individual (the first cry of a new-born baby), to the macrocosm
(accumulated archive footage of ritual celebration and the carnage of
war).
The editing, music, and the mythic narrative arc of the material is
designed to take the viewer on a roller coaster tour of the human body
and life cycle. Every possible depiction of the human life from
microscopic medical to portraits and newsreels, from births to deaths,
are cut to a music track by Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead to create a mythic narrative of the arc of a single life.
Hollywood director Paul Thomas Anderson saw the film at its Rotterdam
Festival premiere: "I remember seeing bodysong and feeling like I was
in a trance. A wonderful collection of the two simple things a film has
to work with: pictures and music. It's a moving, scary and hypnotic
potpourri of images and an experience that gets more lucid the more you
watch ...The website, which is 50% of the experience is a testament to
the strong, caring research and a dedication to wonderful material."[1]
Simon Pummell's unique documentary Bodysong uses a collage of images to
present a portrait of life from the moment the sperm pierces the egg
until death. Home movies, famous film images, and other sources have
been tapped to supply the materials. The f...more

This film is about a young just married couple ho settle into
his home in a remote area of the Phillipines. There is no electricity and no
cell phone signal even. The wife, Tess (pretty good job by Diana Zuburi) has to
deal with her husband being a traveling salesman. The husband, Rico (Polo
Ravales) has to away for three days, leaving her with the elderly caretaker.
Through this time, Tess begins to suspect Rico is not faithful. She meets Celia
(Francine Prieto) and she comes to live with her, especially since Rico is gone
longer than three days since there was a storm. When Rico returns, Tess
suspects he and Celia are having an affair and plots revenge. The film isn't
bad, it keeps your interest, but it moves slowly to the conclusion. There are a
few decent twists, and I recommend it to anyone who likes these kinds of
dramas, but I don't think its terribly special. Diana Zuburi has the potential
to be a star, maybe even cross over beyond Phillipine cinema. It'll be
interesting to see where her career takes her.
Plot
In the remote countryside of Ilocos, various women are sexually abused by local men. Two sisters, Tonya (Maria Isabel Lopez), a sexually repressed young woman, and Selda (Sarsi Emmanuelle), a promiscuous woman, meet Simon (Mark Joseph), the most attractive man in the village. Tonya teaches catechism to the children of the village. Selda comes home from the city with her American lover, whom she throws out shortly afterward. She's the exact opposite of Tonya, as her views on sex are more liberal and less guilt-filled. Tonya is secretly sexually attracted to Simon, but she refuses his sexual advances.
First released in 1985, the film was commercially released on DVD by Mondo Macabro in 2007.[4] The region-one two-DVD set has soundtracks in both Tagalog and English.[5]
Reception
Of the DVD release, Kurt Dahlke of DVD Talk noted that Silip: Daughters of Eve is an exploitation film, but "not your usual empty-headed sleaze show," and he remarked that viewers simply looking for a sexploitation film won't understand Silip. He expands on this by writing, "Other reviewers have complained of the long, boring bits in between each scandalous act, completely missing the point," and he explains that unlike many films of its genre, Silip delivers its message "in small-scale epic fashion, with a lyric beauty that's hard to argue against. Using the desert-like scenery to maximum effect, nearly every shot is beautiful to look at, fostering a meditative, sweaty atmosphere that's truly unique." He goes on to praise the cinematography and the simultaneous themes that play out in the film and summarizes "While the women-are-the-root-of-all-evil message is ultimately distasteful, the truths exposed, and the path we're lead down in getting there, consists of quite a sumptuous, sensuous journey."[6]
