Meet Sergio Merino: My Journey in Audiovisuals and Music

Hi, I'm Sergio Merino. I'm currently studying a higher degree in Sound Engineering for Audiovisuals and Shows. I'm also diligently preparing for the auditions of the Young Orchestra of the Community of Madrid for the trumpet section.

Aspiring Sound Technician and Trumpeter

In the future, it would be a dream to be part of ORCAM (the main orchestra of the Community of Madrid). The best Spanish trumpeters have played there, and it would be an immense honor to follow in their footsteps.

Musical Achievements and Future Goals

Additionally, I am a proud member of the JMJ Orchestra. We recently had an incredible experience performing in January at the National Auditorium in Madrid.

Career Aspirations in Audiovisual Production

My immediate goal is to complete an internship and then secure a position with a direct sound company. Once I've saved some capital, I'd love to establish my own studio to record musical groups. I also aim to work in television or film, exploring various facets of audiovisual production. Ultimately, I aspire to find a fulfilling role where I am comfortable and can continue pursuing my lifelong passion: the trumpet.

"The Wolf of Wall Street" - A Film Review

My review focuses on The Wolf of Wall Street, one of my absolute favorite films.

Plot Summary and Key Characters

First, let's discuss the plot. This movie is based on the true story of an American man, brilliantly portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio, who is young and incredibly charismatic. He begins his career in the cutthroat world of Wall Street finance, where he soon befriends a group of ambitious individuals. Together, they amass immense wealth, which they lavish on extravagant luxuries. The protagonist acquires a massive house and marries a beautiful woman, but his life is also characterized by excessive partying, rampant drug use, and heavy alcohol consumption.

My Take: Entertainment, Direction, and Performances

In my opinion, while the movie is quite long (approximately 3 hours), I find it incredibly entertaining and genuinely humorous. It's a true story brought to life by Martin Scorsese, a very funny biopic, and undoubtedly one of the best comedies of recent years. With Scorsese's impeccable direction and Leonardo DiCaprio's compelling performance as Jordan Belfort, The Wolf of Wall Street delivers a wild, psychotic trip of violence, excess, and occasional drama. Its strong script and talented cast further enhance the legacy of its renowned director.

Why This Scorsese Film is a Must-Watch

In summary, it is a fantastic film that everyone should experience at least once in their life, particularly for its comedic brilliance and sharp social commentary. It's perfect for those who appreciate dark humor and a captivating true story.
