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''

Reviewing #1 - Anna Karenina (2012)

Hello !

This is my 50th post! wow !...just saying ! 

From January to February there's the winter session of exams. This means that I do not have lesson in order to focus and study for my tests. Being home this often, even in the morning when no one's around, means that I have the possibility to organize my days as I please. I started going to the gym, I restarted taking acting classes and, the rest of the time, I'm supposed to be studying. 

Truth is that, if I focus really hard, I won't leave my desk for 4h or more, but the rest of the time, is not like I can spend my day out with friends, in every moment. I rediscovered the pleasure to be home, reorder my bedroom, try to learn how to play the guitar...and watch movies. 

Recently I've seen so many movies, and the ones that I liked the most, I decided, are going to be the main topic of my next 2 or 3 blog posts. This ''reviewing'' of movies, may be something that I'll keep doing occasionally, or that maybe will end after this first post. 

I'll talk about recent movies, if I'll go to the cinema and watch them, or old movies that I've never seen before, or maybe that I've recently re-watched. 

I'd like to start with a movie released on 2012, but that I've seen only yesterday for the first time. Anna Karenina. 

* From this point: SPOILER ALERT !  *

I'd like to start admitting that I had no idea what the movie was going to talk about. Although it naturally was mentioned many times in high school, call me ignorant but I've never really known and studied the plot of the original ''Anna Karenina'' novel, written by Lev Tolstoj (original title: Aнна Каренина).

From the beginning until the end, in exception for few scenes, the whole story is settled in an old theater. The background changes on the stage, as well as the objects on the dovecote and the place where the audience sits. The scenes sets in environments for high society members are all built on these parts of the theater. Differently, the places where to find the poor population of Moscow or other Russian cities where the novel is set, are the backstage, the dressing rooms, the ''bridges'' where the technicians changes lights etc. The change of scene are incredibly fast and, although the place is always the same, they recreate very easily every room and situations by adding few essential but specific objects. 

The costumes are fabulous. Every dress that Anna Karenina ( Keira Knightley) wears is perfect ! In every details everyone's clothes are magnificent and I have absolutely nothing to say against them ! I can only wish that one day, maybe for a masquerade, I'll be able to wear one of those dreamlike-superclassyandrich dresses.

The story itself it's really interesting, you like the main character at the beginning, hating others. But than, after few but important twists of the story, you end up (or, at least, I did) hating Anna for what she does and for her behavior. 

Parallel to the main love story, there's another interesting character that, I have to say, was my favorite one. Kostantin Levin. Differently from the others, He's the one who lives and sees the relationship with a woman as something based on love, true love. And, in fact, at the end he's the only one who marries the woman of his dream, Kitty, and ends up living with her a wonderful life. 

The best scene, in my opinion, is the one in which Kostantin proposes to Kitty, for the second time, The first one he's bypassed by Aleksej Vronskij, but than, when he ends up with Anna Karenina, who cheats on her husband, Kitty remains alone, and that's when Kostantin tries again. They're both at Dolly's place (Kitty's sister) and they start talking using those wooden cubes with letters written on them, the ones that children play with. And they have a conversation like this, using the initial letters and slowly composing the whole sentences. With few words she apologizes and he proposes to her confessing her his love. 

The photography is amazing, every scene follows the basic rules of composition, also in terms of colors, I enjoyed the contrast created at the ball where Kitty and Aleksej dance together, both wearing white, and, on the other side, we have Anna with a black dress.

I highly recommend this movie ! Hope you liked this new kind of post, and I wish you all a pleasant weekend !

New haircut .

HeyHey

Yes...I finally did it...I got an haircut !! To cut my hair has always been a dramatic experience for me, since when I was 13, when i realized I always had short hair.

I did the so called ''shatush'', so the discoloration of my hair, two years ago, and I was happy of the result, they turned out in a really good way. Than, in November I cut my hair a little bit (just the tips that got ruined during summer) and I did the discoloration again, at the same saloon. Unfortunately this time I turned out as a Barbie! It was really hard for me at the beginning to get used to that ''light yellow!'' (because they turned more yellow than blonde) but at the end I got used to it and I didn't even notice how much that treatment ruined my hair!

The other day, more precisely on Wednesday, my mum took me with her to the new hairdresser she goes to, that is way better than the woman who turned my hair in yellow (in my mum's opinion). And I have to admit that...she was right.

The tips of my hair has been cut out, and the hairdresser also trimmed them (not sure if this verb is the correct one), to make them less heavy, and I also wanted to try this fringe that I saw on a french girl I met in cruise few years ago. The biggest change is in my hair color though. It's impossible to remove that yellow effect, so it has been covered with this hair dye that nourish and repair my hair, and of course gives them the same blonde effect...but in a proper tone this time!
