Amazing magazing XX

Editorial

Hello and welcome, dear person reading this Amazing magazine!
This “thing” started as a final project assigned by our beloved
teacher Roa. At first everybody was lost and we didn’t know what
to do or how. However, we coped with it and found a way to finish
alive and victorious. In this first (and only) edition of our maga-
zine Amazing, you will find all kind of content based on what the
youngers are into these days. From the latest tendencies in tech-
nology, nutrition, until recommendations about smart traveling.
As our main article (on cover), we have entrepreneurship- the
business of our generation- inspired by the hardworking young
people fighting to make their own way through the wild world we
are living in. Since Christmas is right around the corner we added
some topics related to it, as well. We all hope that everybody get
to enjoy and have fun while writing. Thank you <3

CHRISTTMV AS MOVIES

  
ENTERTAINMENT

Since Christmas is just around the corner, here I bring you a Top 5 movies recomendation for those lazy

eating leftover from last’night dinner.

Home Alone

Even though Home Alone didn’t turn out to be the greatest thing
to happen to Macaulay Culkin, we feel rather fond of this classic
Christmas hit. For those who haven’t yet watched it (where
have you been though?) here’s a quick summary: eight-year-
old Kevin McCallister gets forgotten by his family who jet off to
Paris without him. Whilst his family try desperately to get back to
America, burglars try to break into poor Kevin’s home. However,
through much hilarity, Kevin skilfully defends his home with the
aid of a tarantula and some artfully crafted cardboard cut-outs.
Film fact: The picture Kevin finds of Buzz’s girlfriend whilst he
raids his big brother’s room was actually a boy wearing a wig. The
director felt it would be too harsh to use a real girl for this scene.

The Snowman

The Snowman is a magical and simplistic movie that is a firm
favorite on this best Christmas movies list. The animated movie
is a great family hit, not only because of the stunning pictures
and the magical world in which the story takes place, but also
because it’s mesmerizing music can calm even the most hyper-
active of overexcited children down and send them soundly to
sleep until Father Christmas arrives. This one is great to watch
on Christmas Eve.
Film fact: The key song in the movie, Walking In The Air, was
not actually sung by Aled Jones. It was sung instead by Peter
Auty and was released by Aled Jones three years later in 1985.

AMAZING | November 2018

The Santa ClausE

The Santa Clause is a 1994 American Christmas fantasy family
comedy film written by Leo Benvenuti and Steve Rudnick, and
directed by John Pasquin. The first film in the Santa Clause film
series, it stars Tim Allen as Scott Calvin, an ordinary man who
accidentally causes Santa Claus to fall from his roof on Christmas
Eve. When he and his young son, Charlie, finish St. Nick’s trip
and deliveries, they go to the North Pole where Scott learns that
he must become the new Santa and convince those he loves that
he is indeed Father Christmas.
Film fact: The film was followed by two sequels, The Santa
Clause 2 (2002) and The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause
(2006). In comparison to the original, the former received mixed
critical response while the latter was panned by most critics.

A Christmas Story

This staple is ranked consistently as one of the best holiday films
of all time, and for good reason. The sheer number of memora-
ble scenes and lines—Flick getting his tongue stuck to the flag-
pole, the boys being triple-dog-dared to do something (and the
aghast look on Ralphie’s face as the dares escalate), Ralphie’s
cringe-inducing pink bunny pajamas, eating a Christmas dinner
of Peking duck (or what Ralphie calls a Chinese turkey),
Film fact: The film was released on November 18, 1983. It
earned two Canadian Genie Awards in 1984 and in 2012 was
selected for preservation in the National Film Registry by the
Library of Congress for being “culturally, historically, or aestheti-
cally significant”.

Elf

If you haven’t seen this yet, don’t let the old-school animation at
the beginning of the film put you off—the movie aims to make use
of older animated Christmas classics. Whether you watch with
your nieces and nephews or your parents, Will Ferrell is endear-
ingly earnest as Buddy, even in the face of the cynical reality of
New York City. It almost makes you want to pour maple syrup on
your spaghetti in solidarity. Almost. The movie’s ultimate villains
(the Central Park Rangers?) make the movie veer a tad toward
corny, but Ferrell’s charm makes up for it in the end.
Film fact: The film was released in the United States on November
7, 2003 by New Line Cinema. Directed by Jon Favreau and written
by David Berenbaum.

rhythm (and its associated con-

softness), and the sonic qualities
of timbre and texture (which are
sometimes termed the “color” of
a musical sound). Different styles

or types of music may emphasize, de-emphasize or omit some of these elements. Music is performed with
a vast range of instruments and vocal techniques ranging from singing to rapping; there are solely instru-

ENTREPRENEURSHIP
THE BUSINESS OF
OUR GENERATION.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Be an entrepreneur has become one of the main goals in the big young’s mind mass either because it

gives kind of prestige or for the fact that the new generation doesn’t want to be employee and rather have
their own businesses.
The formal way to define entrepreneurship is saying that it is the process of starting a business or an orv-
ganization for profit or for social needs, we divide profit from social needs to separate the commercial entre-
preneurship from social and charitable entrepreneurship.

When we hear the word “entrepreneur”, we
suddenly tend to associate it with a person
who has or is starting their own ventures or
in other words, striking it on their own, and
we are right because technically an entre-
