El Bachillerato II

El bachillerato fueron tres muy buenos años… hubo música y películas buenas:

En 1975 las películas que no pude ir a ver por razones económicas, pero que he podido disfrutar posteriormente, según mi gusto las mejores: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest; Tarde de perros. En 1976 lo recuerdo como un año pobre solo recuerdo: Sobreviviente de Los Andes y fue porque había leído la historia en Selecciones de Readers Digest; Tal vez Rocky que también la vi en televisión comercial, no anoto más. Ya en 1977 el cine fue más bien una sala para entregar o recibir informes políticos, así es que no recuerdo películas.
