"Be the change you want to see in the world."
(Mahatma Gandhi)
I firmly believe that human beings are capable of building the road, of building societies and of changing the world. If in this journey we find stones, we seek the necessary strength to remove them. Of course, we only have to believe, be motivated, and fight for change. If the conditions are not suitable, they will always invent ways; with their creativity they will adapt them to feel good and comfortable. As, for example, the one who arrives to an empty and cold house; he will clean, put flowers and curtains to make it more pleasant and cozy.
Sometimes you need an impulse to move and act. Especially when you have gone through difficult situations; however, with support and solidarity, moments of sadness and pain are alleviated and it is easier to continue building dreams. As our friend Helen Keller said: "Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of overcoming". It is necessary to learn from our mistakes and give value to what we have, only in this way we will be able to chart a new course in our lives.
Believe it or not, giving our support, a hand, a pat on the shoulder and a smile can change societies and the world. Indifference to other people's problems makes us insensitive beings. It is a mistake to believe that we deserve everything without even working to get it. This paradigm must be left behind, since it has been proven that working together and as a team for our goals and dreams, and for societies is what makes us achieve what we desire and our goals faster.
Take my hand, let's walk together and change the world.

Human beings, we inhabit an entire planet, together we have to find ways to survive, and strive to achieve changes that benefit us all. It is not about big projects, nor big investments, nor shouting with a megaphone in the street, much less attending endless meetings that in the end do not reach any conclusion. This is not what should be sought, the idea is to sow consciences and hold hands and work together as a team for the good of humanity.
To work for the good of our home and family, communities and society; it is a cascade effect, everything that is done will affect the planet. Give a little of our time for the benefit of all human beings, such as: planting a tree, creating suitable conditions for raising children and adolescents, family planning, not wasting water, not throwing garbage on the streets or in the waterways, being respectful of neighbors and society, fulfilling our duties as citizens among many other things.
Walking together and working as a team
#
We do have to change our way of thinking, acting, customs and habits. We have to do it and that's it. Sometimes we don't know what we are capable of until we have to face adversity. This example of teamwork to improve the conditions of society is captured in the movie Change of Habit. The protagonist is forced to change the course of her life, with her smile and attitude she changes the conditions of the convent and the surrounding community.
Deloris or Sister Mary Clarence, is naughty since she was a child and manages to get to work in a bar, where she sings. This makes me laugh because the nun read her future and sentenced her. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Her whole life was a sin for society. Specifically for society because for me, everyone has the right to live their life as they wish. To hide herself she arrives at the convent where she has to start a new life. She makes friends and .... (I won't tell you more). If you haven't seen it, look for it so you can enjoy the madness of these little nuns.
OMG, how time flies, in a few months it will be 31 years since this movie was released. It is a musical comedy directed by American Emile Ardolino and Buena Vista Pictures Distribution. I have seen this film many times, I found it in Disney Plus and I took the opportunity to see it again, for an hour and forty minutes I enjoyed once again the smiles and inventions of Whoopi Goldberg and the little nuns covering her to hide what she was doing to the mother superior.
Deloris or Sister Mary Clarence has to abruptly change her life and habits to survive. She finds it difficult to adapt to the customs of the convent. She revolutionizes with her initiatives to raise income for the convent. One of the scenes I like the most is when she is threading a needle, she says: "I won't manage to do it, it's too complicated for me" and Sister Mary Patrick replies: "Don't worry, you'll make it, it's too complicated for me":
Don't worry, you'll make it, I'll help you -
Music brings them together, and together they work as a team to improve their conditions and those of the nearby community. With an eye on the proposed goal, to raise funds for the convent. Here is one of the melodies performed by the choir.
Friends of the #Movies&Shows Community, human beings are capable of changing their perspective on life and achieving great things, the protagonist of the film Change of Habit, turned around to improve as a human being. She found in the convent a family, where they supported each other.

"A dream doesn't come true through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work."
Creo firmemente en que los seres humanos somos capaces de construir el camino, a las sociedades y de cambiar al mundo. Si en este trayecto encontramos piedras, buscamos la fuerza necesaria para quitarlas. Eso sí, solo tenemos que creer, estar motivados, y luchar por los cambios. Si las condiciones no son aptas, siempre inventarán las maneras; con su creatividad las adaptarán para sentirse bien y cómodos. Como, por ejemplo, el que llega a una casa vacía y fría; limpiara, pondrá flores y cortinas para hacerla más agradable y acogedora.
Algunas veces se necesita de un impulso para moverse y accionar. Sobre todo cuando se ha pasado por situaciones difíciles; sin embargo, con apoyo y solidaridad, en momentos de tristeza y dolor se alivianan y se es más fácil seguir construyendo los sueños. Como dijo la amiga Helen Keller: “Aunque el mundo está lleno de sufrimiento, también está lleno de superación”. Es necesario aprender de los errores y darle valor a lo que tenemos, solo así se lograra trazar un nuevo rumbo de nuestras vidas.
Aunque usted no lo crea; brindar nuestro apoyo, dar la mano, una palmada en el hombro y una sonrisa puede cambiar a las sociedades y al mundo. La indiferencia ante los problemas de otras personas nos hace seres insensibles. Es un error creer que lo merecemos todo sin siquiera trabajar por conseguirlo. Este paradigma hay que dejarlo atrás, ya que se ha demostrado que trabajar juntos y en equipo por nuestras metas y sueños, y por de las sociedades es o que hace que más rápido se logre lo que deseamos y nuestras metas.
Toma mi mano, caminemos juntos y cambiemos el mundo
Los seres humanos, habitamos todo un planeta, juntos tenemos que buscar las maneras de sobrevivir, y luchar por lograr cambios que nos beneficien a todos. No se trata de grandes proyectos, ni de grandes inversiones, ni de gritar con un megáfono en la calle, ni mucho menos asistir a reuniones interminables y para que al final no lleguen a ninguna conclusión. Esto no es lo que se debe buscar, la idea es sembrar conciencias y agarrarnos de la mano y trabajar juntos y en equipo por el bien de la humanidad.
Abocarnos a trabajar por el bien de nuestro hogar y de la familia, de las comunidades y de la sociedad; es un efecto cascada todo lo que se hace va a afectar al planeta. Dar un poco de nuestro tiempo en beneficios de todos los seres humanos; como por ejemplo: sembrar un árbol, crear condiciones aptas para la crianza de los niños y adolescentes, planificación familiar, no desperdiciar el agua, no tirar basura en las calles ni en las afluentes de agua, ser respetuosos con los vecinos y la sociedad, cumplir con nuestros deberes como ciudadano entre muchas otras cosas.
Caminar juntos y trabajar en equipo
Sí tenemos que cambiar nuestra manera de pensar, de actuar, de costumbres y de hábito. Hay que hacerlo y listo. Algunas veces no sabemos de lo que somos capaces hasta que tenemos que enfrentar las adversidades. Este ejemplo de trabajo en equipo para mejorar las condiciones de la sociedad es plasmado en la película Cambio de Hábito. La protagonista se ve forzada a darle un cambio de rumbo a su vida, con su sonrisa y actitud cambia las condiciones del convento y de la comunidad que lo rodea.
Deloris o la Hermana Mary Clarence, es traviesa desde niña y logra llegar a trabajar en un Bar, donde canta. A mí esto me da mucha risa porque la monja como que le leyó el futuro y la sentencio. Ja, ja, ja. Toda su vida era un pecado para la sociedad. Específico para la sociedad porque para mí, cada quien tiene derecho a vivir su vida como lo desee. Para ocultarse llega el convento donde debe iniciar una nueva vida. Hace amigas y….( no les cuento más). Si no la has visto, búscala para que disfrutes de las locuras de estas monjitas.
OMG, como pasa el tiempo, dentro de unos meses cumplirá 31 años desde que fue estrenada esta película. Es una comedia musical que estuvo bajo la dirección del estadounidense Emile Ardolino y de Buena Vista Pictures Distribution. Este filme lo he visto muchas veces, lo encontré en Disney Plus y aproveche de volver a verla, durante una hora y cuarenta minutos disfrute una vez más de las sonrisas e inventos de Whoopi Goldberg y a las monjitas cubriéndola para ocultarle lo que hacía a la madre superiora.
Deloris o la Hermana Mary Clarence tiene que cambiar bruscamente su vida y hábitos para sobrevivir. Le cuesta adaptarse a las costumbres del convento. Revoluciona con sus iniciativas para recaudar ingresos para el convento. Una de las escenas que más me gustan es cuando está ensartando una aguja, dice: “No lograré hacerlo, es demasiado complicado para mí” y la hermana Mary Patrick, replica:
— No te preocupes, lo lograrás, yo te ayudaré —
La música logra unirlas, juntas trabajan en equipo para mejorar sus condiciones y la de la comunidad cercana. Con la mirada en la meta propuesta, recaudar fondos para el convento. Les dejo una de las melodías interpretadas por el coro.
I will follow him Sister act HD Cambio de hábitos.
Amigos de la Comunidad de #Movies&Shows, el ser humano es capaz de cambiar su perspectiva de la vida y de lograr grandes cosas, la protagonista del filme Cambio de hábito, dio un vuelco para mejorar como ser humano. Encontró en el convento una familia, donde se apoyaron entre sí.

Today I want to share with you a film from 1992, which even today is still in the hearts of the audience, first of all because it is so funny and also because of the enormous charisma of Whoopi Goldberg in each of her scenes.
Hoy quiero compartir con ustedes un film de 1992, que aún hoy en día sigue estando en el corazón de la audiencia, en primer lugar por ser tan divertido y también por el enorme carisma de Whoopi Goldberg en cada una de sus escenas.
It all begins when Deloris Van Cartier (Whoopi Goldberg), a successful singer at a famous casino in Reno, becomes an unwitting witness to a crime committed by Vince de la Roca, who was her lover. She has to flee to avoid him trying to silence her by killing her, so she turns to the police and Lieutenant Eddie Souther decides to hide her in a convent where she would have to pretend to be just another nun in order to try to go unnoticed. The real challenge of her life comes when the Reverend Mother Superior asks Deloris to help the church choir, made up of several nuns, who are very disorganised, making their music tedious and boring, but injects them with a good dose of her energy and charisma, making it fun, fresh and above all attractive not only to the regular parishioners, but also to the people who arrive every Sunday, including young people who would never have imagined spending a Sunday morning in church.
Todo comienza cuando Deloris Van Cartier (Whoopi Goldberg) una cantante exitosa de un famoso casino en Reno, se convierte en testigo involuntaria de un crimen por parte de Vince de la Roca, quien era su amante, ella tiene que huir para evitar que él intente silenciarla matándola, así que recurre a la policía y el teniente Eddie Souther decide esconderla en un convento donde tendría que fingir ser una monja más del lugar, con el objetivo de intentar pasar desapercibida. El verdadero reto de su vida viene cuando la reverenda Madre Superiora le pide a Deloris que ayude al coro de la iglesia, conformado por varias monjas, las cuales están muy desorganizadas, haciendo que su música sea tediosa y aburrida, Deloris no solo las organiza, sino que les inyecta una buena dosis de su energía y carísma, volviéndolo divertido, fresco y sobre todo atractivo no solo para la feligresía habitual, sino para las personas que van llegando cada domingo, incluso los jóvenes que nunca hubiesen imaginado ir a pasar una mañana de domingo en la iglesia.
This film is great because of Whoopi Goldberg's usual naturalness, her character is as charismatic as she is, it has a lot of funny scenes, however, in my humble opinion what makes it special is the fact how much you can learn about music with her, both in this film and in the sequel, it also leaves you with many positive messages, among them, the fact that you can't judge a book by its cover and above all that if you dare to combine the traditional with new ideas you can have very good results, sometimes we refuse to make positive changes just for fear of failure or even "what will they say about me? " But if we take a little risk, trying new things, we can shine.
Esta película es grandiosa por la acostumbrada naturalidad de Whoopi Goldberg, su personaje es tan carismático como ella, tiene muchísimas escenas divertidas, sin embargo, en mi humilde opinión lo que la hace especial es el hecho de lo mucho que puedes llegar a aprender de música con ella, tanto en esta película como en la secuela, además también te deja muchos mensajes positivos, entre ellos, el hecho de que no puedes juzgar a un libro por su portada y sobre todo que si te atreves a combinar lo tradicional con nuevas ideas puedes tener muy buenos resultados, a veces nos negamos a los cambios positivos tan solo por miedo al fracaso o hasta al "¿qué dirán de mi?" pero si nos arriesgamos un poco, probando cosas nuevas podremos brillar.
This film talks about opening the heart and leaving prejudices behind because when Deloris arrives at the convent she complains a lot, she thinks that this place is not for her (something quite natural, taking into account the contrast that makes this sacred place with the one she used to in the casino) but she practically isolates herself because she thinks that her companions are boring, however in reality they want to integrate her to their group, the Mother Superior on the other hand, is a strict woman who does not admit changes, she is full of prejudices towards Deloris for coming from such a pagan place as Reno, and even when she could see the enormous change that the choir had with the musical arrangements of "Sister Mary Clarence" (Deloris) she simply closed her mind, without caring if the change was favourable or not, although the priest does not agree with her and on the contrary he congratulates Mery Clarence.
Esta película nos habla de abrir el corazón y dejar los prejuicios atrás porque cuando Deloris llega al convento se queja mucho, piensa que ese lugar no es para ella (algo bastante natural, tomando en cuenta el contraste que hace ese lugar sacro con el que ella acostumbraba en el casino) pero ella prácticamente se aísla porque piensa que sus compañeras son aburridas, sin embargo en realidad ellas quieren integrarla a su grupo, la Madre Superiora por su parte, es una mujer estricta que no admite cambios, está llena de prejuicios hacia Deloris por provenir de una lugar tan pagano como Reno, e incluso cuando pudo comprobar el enorme cambio que tuvo el coro con los arreglos musicales de "La hermana Mary Clarence" (Deloris) ella simplemente cerró su mente, sin importarle si el cambio era favorable o no, aunque el sacerdote no está de acuerdo con ella y por el contrario felicita a Mery Clarence.
And speaking specifically about this moment I can only tell you that I perceived a lot of happiness, both in the faces of the nuns and Deloris, clearly you can see that they are doing what they love, what they are passionate about, as Deloris (Mary Clarence) said "Don't forget that you are singing for the Lord" she taught them that even though they were not singing for the public, but for God, they should sing with soul and enthusiasm, be authentic and happy, and that their singing would not only connect them with God, but would attract the public to him, people would come to him, people would come to church out of conviction, not obligation.
Y hablando específicamente de este momento solo puedo decirles que yo percibí mucha felicidad, tanto en el rostro de las monjas como en el de Deloris, claramente se nota que están haciendo lo que aman, lo que les apasiona, tal como dijo Deloris (Mary Clarence) "No olviden que están cantando para el señor" ella les enseñó que a pesar de no estar cantando para el publico, sino para Dios, ellas debían cantar con el alma y con entusiasmo, ser auténticas y felices, además de que su canto no solo las conectaría con Dios, sino que atraería el publico hacia él, la gente llegaría a la iglesia por convicción propia, no por obligación.
With Mary Clarence's changes step by step the church choir became so good, dynamic and fun but organised, and also attracted so many people to the church, that even the mother superior could not deny it, moreover even the pope had heard about them and wanted to come and see them, Deloris proved to the mother superior that she was not just a common casino singer, but a professional woman who knows her job very well, who in spite of being carefree takes music seriously and applies discipline, these positive changes encouraged the sisters by proving that with a little effort, discipline and perseverance one can achieve great things and go very far.
Con los cambios de Mary Clarence poco a poco el coro de la iglesia se hizo tan bueno dinámico y divertido pero organizado, y además atrajo a tanta gente a la iglesia, que ni siquiera la madre superiora pudo negarlo, por otra parte incluso el papa había escuchado acerca de ellas y quiso ir a verlas, Deloris le demostró a la madre superiora que ella no era solo una vulgar cantante de casino, sino una mujer profesional que conoce muy bien su trabajo, que a pesar de ser despreocupada toma enserio la música y aplica la disciplina, estos cambios positivos alentaron a las hermanas al quedar demostrado que con un poco de esfuerzo, disciplina y constancia se pueden lograr grandes cosas y llegar muy lejos.
Deloris, who became Mary Clarence, helped the choir a lot, not only to improve their skills, but also to gain confidence, but especially Sister Mary Robert, who was the least confident, afraid to stand out and this fear affected her barely audible voice, but when Deloris taught her some vocal techniques and also injected her with a dose of confidence, she let her talent come to the surface, standing out in the choir with her great voice.
Deloris, devenida en Mary Clarence ayudó mucho al coro, no solo a mejorar su habilidad, sino a ganar confianza, pero sobre todo a la hermana Mary Robert, quien era la que menos confianza tenía en sí misma, tenía miedo de sobresalir y ese miedo repercutía en su voz apenas audible, pero cuando Deloris le enseñó algunas técnicas vocales y además le inyectó una dósis de confianza, ella dejó que su talento aflorara, destacando en el coro por su grandiosa voz.
I like this scene not only because it is hilarious, but also because it shows that the sisters, no matter if Mary Clarence lied to them and she is not a real nun, but a casino singer called Deloris, they already consider her part of the group, they are grateful to her and want to protect her at all costs, they already consider her as part of the group, they are grateful to her and they want to protect her at all costs, moreover, the mother superior also goes with them to rescue her and she even shows her cunning by persuading the helicopter pilot to take them to Reno for free, she does it through prayers where she asks God to have mercy on that man who didn't want to take them 🤣.
Una de las escenas que más me divierte y me gusta mucho, es cuando las hermanas viajan a Reno para intentar rescatar a Mery Clarence, ya que los maleantes la habían secuestrado, me gusta esta escena no solamente porque es hilarante, sino porque demuestra que las hermanas, sin importar si Mary Clarence les mintió y no se trata de una monja real, sino de una cantante de casino llamada Deloris, ellas ya la consideran parte del grupo, están agradecidas con ella y desean protegerla a toda costa, además, la madre superiora también va con ellas a rescatarla e incluso, hace gala de su astucia al persuadir al piloto del helicóptero para que las lleve a Reno gratis, lo hace mediante plegarias donde le pide a Dios que tenga misericordia de ese hombre que no quiso llevarlas 🤣.
It's a great movie that I love for all the reasons I already explained, I find it fresh, dynamic, even today, with several positive messages that mainly lead you to believe and trust in your abilities, to work every day to improve them and not to judge anyone, to whoever hasn't seen it I recommend it, you will have a great time watching this movie. Thank you very much for your attention, friends, see you next time.
Es una película grandiosa que me encanta por todas las razones que ya expuse, me parece fresca, dinámica, aún hoy en día, con varios mensajes positivos que principalmente te conducen a creer y confiar en tus habilidades, a trabajar cada día para mejorarlas y a no juzgar a nadie, a quien no la haya visto se la recomiendo, pasarán un gran rato viendo esta película. Muchas gracias por su atención, amigos, nos vemos en una próxima oportunidad.
High concepts are popular in Hollywood because, on occasion, high concept films can deliver spectacular results. One of such examples can be found in Sister Act, 1992 comedy directed by Emile Ardolino.
The protagonist, played by Whoopie Goldberg, is Deloris Wilson a.k.a. Deloris Van Cartier, struggling lounge singer in Reno, Nevada. Her career is going nowhere and her private life isn’t any better, because she is stuck in poor relationship with Vince LaRocca (played by Harvey Keitel), a mobster who happens to be married. One day she accidentally see Vince and his goons execute alleged police informant. She immediately becomes target, but manages to escape and contact Lieutenant Eddie Souter (played by Bill Nun), police detective who puts her into protective custody. Souter has found an seemingly ingenious way to hide Deloris from Vince’s assassins – she is to take identity of Catholic nun named Sister Mary Clarence and live in St. Katherine’s, Carmelite monastery in San Francisco. Deloris, who is a wordly woman, at first has trouble adjusting to new and austere way of life, but gradually finds new friends among other nuns and discovers a way to put her talent to something useful. Reverend Mother (played by Maggie Smith) makes Deloris join convent’s choir, where she soon begins training other nuns and arranging traditional hymns in rock’n’roll style. This approach, which also includes singing rock standards with religious lyrics, brings many new people to church but also an unwanted attention that could lead Vince to her.
Script by Paul Rudnick (credited under pseudonym “Joseph Howard”) was based on the simple idea – wordly singer forced to live in convent – and didn’t want to complicate matters. Continuing with decades-long tradition of symbiotic relationship between Hollywood and Cahtolic Church, which was still strong in early 1990s, script tries to brush aside an issue of Church as socially conservative institution in increasingly liberal and progressive world. It suggests that Church can become “cool”, “hip” and modern simply by applying new music choices. Director Emile Ardolino, best known for his great hit Dirty Dancing, seemed suitable for this approach and the best part of the film are musical numbers, as well as the middle section, when protagonist finds herself in all kinds of “fish out of water” situations. This segment, as well as the rest of film, works very well due to immense talents of Whoopie Goldberg who makes the character of Deloris, despite some questionable choices, likeable. The rest of cast is good, including Maggie Smith who brings gravitas in the role of Reverend Mother; Wendy Makkena, Kathy Najimy and Mary Wickes are even better in the nuns’ roles. Bill Nunn is solid as police detective, but Harvey Keitel is wasted in one-dimensional and poorly written role of mob boss. The final sections of the film, when nuns have to rescue Deloris from mobsters’ den, are atrocious and almost ruin entire experience. Thankfully, energetic performances, good music and generally positive vibes of the script make Sister Act a good film. Despite less than enthusiastic reviews, Sister Act became one of the biggest hits of the year. In 1993 a sequel was made under title Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit.
