Cine y adolescencia | Leonor Bruna | TEDxZaragoza


[Applause]
online today to our children
they educate themselves
I did not know the phrase the phrase is from that
great philosopher called homer simpson
we are effectively aware that
our children today many times
they are looking for references and models
out of our education we are
aware that these this search
It develops and is through
of the world of the image as we call it
cinema be television be videos of
youtube be the influencers etc
I’m going to tell you a story
16 year old teenager who lives in the
south of usa in california with their parents
separated one day decides to go live with
the father
and it’s on the other side of the USA almost in
the border of canada and in that search
inside the world of adolescence in
that search for the other gender falls in love
of a boy very different from what she
I had always seen he actually falls in love
of a vampire
this girl who has had the strength
enough to take the step this
so difficult step to leave your area of
comfort back and to throw yourself to the
adventure of a new life
this girl is that she ends
being not only dependent but ends
living at the expense of the submission of
the wishes of his beloved because
this guy has tried to convince him and
in fact it convinces him that the world is
hostile that she is not ready
to be able to face all the
inconveniences and all the obstacles and
all the dangers that you can
find in normal life then that
she really needs a protector
you need a savior to whom
himself obviously
this story that we all know is a
movie that conveys a story of
that kind of love called romantic
called toxic that unfortunately
televisions around the world and the
press around the world we are making a
and again I miss those murders of
couples of former couples in which
simply the argument simply the
argument that is used is the marque
because I loved her I killed her because it was mine
this type of messages
It is that our children receive us
aware of this statistics
they talk about that more and more forgiveness of
that each time the abusers are more
young boys
we are aware of it
notice when we from school
of film we teach our students or
we go to schools or institutes to explain
what is cinema for us
we always insist on this in the background
a movie is neither more nor less than
a message that we want to transmit and
to be able to transmit that message
obviously manipulated we create a whole
plot an attractive plot with about
very well-built characters with some
beautiful actors of course with some
spectacular locations and with a
photo or an awesome photograph of
so that we can mask the
message that we really want
transmit well when you
we tell this to our students the
Most of the time they do not believe us
they believe that the ultimate goal of hollywood
of the movies we make from this
country but good hollywood because brand
really really our mindset and
it marks the internet world a lot
unfortunately the real goal
of Hollywood and the real goal of
the programmers of televisions
that year after year and again and again
program this type of movies is not
neither more nor less than to transmit a
concrete message in this case the message
it is clear
to perpetuate the submission role of
the woman
and this generation after generation I
I’ve been with this school for ten years
ten years teaching what for me what
that in school we have been teaching what
that for us is the cinema and it is
impressive to see that there are many
films that are projected and exist
many more movies that are not screened
every year but curiously the saga
I do not know if they have fixed themselves
project every year I think that it
about 67 years ago, since
then every year it is projected
Well, when we tell you this to
our students do not want to believe us
and you know what happens that I think that we
we have stayed a bit at the point of
we are really educating parents
educators society
making them aware that we are not
the only educators
I believe that adolescence has very
bad fame fixes has very bad reputation
because surely in this room there is more
from a father to a mother and it has
found in that typical situation
situation of absolute empathy when
we say we comment among parents is that
I have a son who is very, very, very
Teen
that is to say that moment of empathy what
we understand all because because
effectively adolescence has very
bad fame but I’m here
maybe we were lucky to run into
the best teenagers in this city
maybe but I’m here to defend
adolescence I am here to say
that are not really ours
enemies the time of adolescence is
a complicated time is a time
complicated also at the olfactory level
at the olfactory level more than one of us
have we ever been in a classroom or in
a room in which moments before
there has been a group of teenagers and
we know that effectively
teenagers suck that’s crystal clear
they stink for a reason because the poor
is that they are going through a process
chemical
and that chemical process by smells that
let’s do
I personally the first time I had
in my life the awareness that in the
background we are chemical beings was when
I had my son for me was a
revolution because he says it can not be that
be the happiest person in the world already
the time is crying for the corners
so if we understand this if
we understand that adolescence is a
a stage of chaos of chaos and crisis
necessary if we understand this because no
we show them that in the end the
we are understanding and we help them
also be their referents
he said to them that to give a
next step in evolution what he
called the anagnórisis first we have
to go through a crisis stage and that
crisis is indefectible but that is that
crisis not only our
our teenagers we have not only
passed to us is that they have also
past the great men the heroes
the Saints
there is an American anthropologist who
possibly you know what’s called
Christ
joseph goebbels who devoted all his
life to investigate precisely in the
lives of heroes of saints and great
men and that in the end came to the
conclusion that they all passed
by a series of stages that were always
the same good ones that were repeated in the
life of all of them and one of those stages
it was a crisis stage that does not have to
be always at adolescence but it was a
crisis stage is the crises
that allow us to see it also to
social level being a next step
forward
and if we are aware of this as
parents and as educators because not
because we have declared adolescence
as our enemy or teenagers
as our enemies in the background the
teenagers the only thing they are doing
is to demand help
and from my point of view how can we
help them I think that beyond
indeed as yolanda said
we can help by applying what is
called emotional education apart from
that I think is simply something
as simple as understanding
as respect and above all as a
valuation that effectively if they
they do not do that process in a healthy way and
we do not help them they are going to look
its referents outside and we all know that
adolescence is a moment of reset
neuronal is a time when you
they leave many connections of the brain
that have had their validity in childhood
but that they will not have it later
therefore our responsibility is
precisely to respect them in that process
that they are the ones who are capable
to do the whole process of
self-definition that can be defined
before the society that can be defined
before parents and of course that
can define themselves
forgive me that like the goat to the mountain I
go back to my subject which is the cinema
and actually tell you that before you
I’ve talked about negative manipulation
that is exercised that we exercise those that
we make movies from our
movies from our topics from
our plots but I’m going to give the good
news that messages also exist
very positive these days in theaters
there is a spanish movie
I can not recommend a movie
Spanish that really raises something very
nice it’s about a story in the
that a basketball coach a
high level team by circumstances
of life that I’m not going to say here has
he had forced himself to train a team
of disabled people well this is
vital experience makes you transform your
vision of the world but not only does it
transform your vision of the world makes you
pose this question that never before
had been raised
really what disability is the worst the
physical psychic or emotional
We are aware that we all
When someone is a teenager, be
disabled or are marginalized from the
society when someone is claiming
our attention and our dedication in
the fund is helping us see that
we have more than one disability
both as parents and educators
individual beings or as beings
collective
