Reviewing #2 - The Theory of Everything (2014)

Goodmorning everyone !

On Monday morning I'll have my first oral exam, and it's Latin, one of the most disgusting subjects (in my opinion). I'm already so so nervous and I found few minutes to write down this post. Hopefully there won't be too many grammar mistakes, considering that I'm in rush !

* Another really quick news: On Sunday 15th the Please Diana (the group I once wrote about) is releasing a new song. Check it out on their website ! *

Today I would like to write about a movie that is currently at the cinema, but that will probably will removed soon, not because of something bad in it, it has only been in the movies programming for weeks and weeks. The movie was released on 2014, but in Italy we have the bad habit to dub everything (tv series, tv programs etc.). Although, compared to the ones in other countries, our voice actors are good, I'm saying ''bad habit'' because I personally enjoy a lot more the real voice of every actor, and when it comes to translate, there are certain elements of a language (such as jokes, idiomatic expressions...) that cannot be translated literally ! They will lose their meaning, so we need to use sentences and words that may express the same concept but that won't preserve the original version. Plus, I think that, if I can understand different accents and other languages it's mainly because I always try to watch movies and series in their original languages, I may add subtitles to comprehend in a better way, but I rarely do. It's a way to improve my knowledge. 

* From this point: SPOILER ALERT *

Back to the movie. ''The theory of everything'' is about Stephen and Jane Hawking's story.

Not being a huge lover of physic, I don't know that much about the life of this famous scientist, but I definitely want to discover more about him and his theory now that I've seen more about him. The plot contains the development of the love between these two young people, a story parallel to the worsening of Stephen's health, due to this rare disease that, they say at the beginning, won't allow him to live longer that 2 years. Despite this first verdict, Hawking is still alive nowadays!

The colors are quite cold and pastel, and I love them like this ! The main actors are magnificent, the dresses are perfect and the photography is amazing. There's the scene in which Stephen discovers about his disease and, despite this, he tries to open up his fingers while he's taking a bath...there's the perfect composition of a scene ! Everything's so symmetrical....just perfect !

I need to say that I was sad when I discovered that Jane ended up marrying another man, when Stephen decided to leave for the USA, to keep developing his theory. Although it was perfectly fine for both of them...I really hoped they were going to represent the perfect couple for the ''and they lived happily ever after''.

I can't think about anything else at the moment, luckily I'll be able to re-edit this post in the future. 

I leave you with this is the quote, the one I liked the most in the whole movie, and I wish you all a good weekend. 

''The should be no boundaries to human endeavor. 

However bad life may seem, while there is life, there is hope''

Walking under rain and snow

Hello everyone !

Yesterday was quite an awesome evening ! Although it only was Wednesday, I went to bed at almost 5am (things that I obviously don't usually do). This happened because, every week, there's an event in Perugia, at the 110 café, which is the central café for the biggest part of the universities here. It is called the ''Wednesday Rock'' and half of the evening there's a band playing on the main stage, followed by the DJ set with different kind of music. I went there for the first time, and I can't wait for next week to be back again !

Anyway, today I want to share with you some pictures I took last Saturday and Sunday. Differently from my average weekend routine, on the 31st I left at 3pm with my scout group, and we went by train to Spoleto, a city in my region, not too far from where I live but that I've never really visited. When I was a gymnast I used to have a couple of competitions every year in the local sports hall, but that was it. Half day in the gym and than back to Assisi. 

When we arrived it immediately started raining. Covering ourselves and our backpacks as much as we could, we started walking on the Spoleto - Norcia. It's a really nice path because it is an old railroad who connected the two cities above. I had the occasion to walk half of it a couple of time, but on Saturday we decided to leave the path because we thought it was time to, in order to change path and take the one that was going to lead us to Campello, the small and lovely city where we already called and ''booked'' a room. When I say a room, a literally mean a room, not a proper bedroom. We only need a roof and, if it's possible, something that will warm us up during winter time. 

Truth is that we didn't have to leave the Spoleto-Norcia railroad, or at least not on the point in which we did. At 6.30pm was still raining, was dark and we arrived in Eggi (another lovely small village). We luckily found another room there and we decided to have dinner and sleep there, and to arrive in Campello the day after, although this meant that we were going to do +7km the day after. And so we did, waking up at 5.30am.

On sunday morning it was raining again, but around 8am it started snowing. Although to walk with snow it's quite complex and it's colder...it was totally worth it. 

We arrived in Campello, had lunch and the possibility to dry our clothes and warm up a little bit. Than we left again and walked without pause, and at 7pm we reached Trevi, our final destination.

Sorry for the poor quality of the picture, but I forgot my Canon at home, so I could only use my phone to take. pictures. Hope you liked this blog post and, for those of you who like walking and who may have the possibility to come around my area, I highly recommend you the ''Sentiero degli Ulivi'' (The path of olives - literally) and the Spoleto-Norcia old railroad. Have a nice weekend !
