Thoughts

Dear readers, Hope you're all OK...well, at least better than me...not that I'm depressed or anything. Just that lately, my mood has been playing russian mountain again...don't like it much but then who does really? I don't know why or if it's the weather or again because I miss my family or my friends or just because I may need to adjust myself to this new and last year at university and the fact that I've to think about what I'd like to do next year...which is stressful for me at least...I'm aware of the fact that one day or the other, we all have to find our own way in life such as find a job, becoming independant , but for me (as I think I previously talked about it in a article a few months back..., anyway, it's not as simple as it looks like. Indeed, you must have guesses by now, that all these things and becoming adult, having responabilities and everything (I know we all have to begin somewhere but...) although, just by trying or picturing what I could do, is really scaring me...I feel like a big fish in the ocean, completly lost...I'm not alone but sometimes...just a feeling...:) all those things seems quite big to me...maybe we all feel like, we all go through things like this...I don't know... Fortunately, I know I can count on my family or friends, and all the good books I read, the music I listen, lightening some candles, drinking many warm cup of tea (rire),watching funny movies or that some TV shows are going to be back soon to keep my mood up,to distract myself, which has lately been mostly more low than up...hopefully it's just a moment to pass...:) I really hope that... Anyway, let's not dwell on that, I hope to write a more chearful article soon! :) thank you again, for listening to me, I really appreciate and in way, writing helps me..! :) a bit like therapy, we could say, put the words on what you really feel can be helpful sometimes (at least it is for me!) :) Take care and see you soon I hope, xxxxx

Ces séries qui vous rendent accro!

Dear readers, Hope you're all OK! It seems that you're quite lucky (lol), inspiration has strike again! (rire) Anyway, I still don't know how they do it but they still do! These TV shows that keep you awake at night, that keep your imagination going all the time , wondering what's going to happen next! We're all waiting impatiently every year for new episodes and discover, (re)discover again our favourites! There is so many that I can't remember every one of them, but these american (mostly because they come from that country but there others of course!)know how to keep your attention alive with all their famous ingredients: suspense et retournement de situation, making the characters evolve, making romantic situation impossible (sense where you always want them to be together but they're often too stubborn at first!) or make you think that this person kill someone else when it's not him or her, but someone else did it or getting on your nerves when of course someone tries to getting away with it (or think he/she can)...anyway you see what I mean...it's always the same thing, you discover a TV show you like and you can't stop watching it! And you can't wait to see what's going to happen next! :) Take for example: Friends, How I met your Mother, Castle, Drop dead diva, Burn notice, Csi (et autre franchise si vous aimez but I've a slightly preference for CSI Las vegas), Ncis (or NCIS LA), Once upon a time, Grimm, Vampire Diaries, Bones, Royal Pains, Necessary Roughness, White Collar and many others...you can't get enough and sometimes even if it's not that great...they still found a way to make you watch it, to renew your interest, it's horrible! They must be really good! :) That's it for today, I just wanted to share it with you! Take care and see you soon for another article I hope! :) xxxx

Anna Karenina- the movie adaptation (2012)

Hello again! Dear readers, hope you're still OK since my last posting. Good luck pour cette rentrée ou pour le retour au taf! :) Know it must be hard, I quite like holidays myself! :) (though we might get bored in the end lol) Anyway, yesterday,as you can see by the title, I went to see another adaptation (among many which have been made) of a book I read recently (see the july article if you miseed it): Anna Karenina! Eh oui, it finally came out (lol) and was quite surprised as we all know it's always hard to adapt a book at the cinema and there is always some passages cut or some details that we find ourselves important but that are unfortunately missing...(still the case here)but despite that I quite liked this new adaptation and we still found Tolstoï's spirit in it and Anna's courage to choose love over everything she has known. She doesn't care about what people think at the time. This new adaptation is also quite surprising as first, it's made as if it was a theatre play. The decor is always changing as if you were un spectateur watching the play going on directly on the stage! There is good actors (Jude Law, Keira Knightley, Kelly Mac Donald and Aaron Taylor-Johnson (saw in the Kick-Ass movie) and I like their exchange. You spend a good time and don't get bored too much (rire). You let yourself in the movie, picturing how these characters were living and what are the rules in the Russian society. When Anna's chooses Count Vronski over her husband (she has married young), she shocked a nation, she surprises everyone. She's in her own way right and we can understand why she chooses love over her husband (who only care about his reputation). Anna wants to be happy. However, despite that, she needs to be constantly reassured about her lover's love, always asking whether he still loves her and he still does. But she is regularly asking him and is jealous if he talks to a beautiful woman. In the end, Anna seems to think everyone is judging her (maybe some but she usually doesn't seem to care) and end up resenting everyone. She's unhappy and takes her life, jumping in front of a train. Irony or not, she's met Count Vronski in a train station at the beginning of the novel. I don't like this ending much (as I always like happy ending) but fortunately for some characters like Levine, he finally marries Kitty (to whom he has proposed already but she was first smitten by Count Vronski who himself has choosen Anna over her) and have a son together. Anna's daugther (she' had a daughter with Vronski) goes to live with Serge (Anna's first son) and her (ex)husband (though I don't recall they have ever divorced). So the end is not completly sad, there are still some happy moments. Anyway, hope you'll like it as much as I did (if you're going to see the movie when it comes out) or if you simply read the book! :) Have a good week-end, take care and see you soon I hope for another article! :) xxx
