Flowers for Algernon

Hello, 

Today I want to tell you about the wonderful novel is Flowers for Algeron written by Daniel Keyes. Keyes created a masterpiece. I will not argue that the author selected topic that remains a rare nowadays, not at all. But the Keyes wrote the story much earlier, that is one of the first to develop this theme so widely.

Happy to tell you why this book is truly unique.

First, it is written in the form of a person's diary. Secondly, Daniel has kept the spelling and punctuation of the author of this diary! It would seem, what's the trick? And it is that this diary belongs to Charly Gordon is a young guy with a very low level of intelligence. The guy became a participant-volunteer medical experiment to increase the efficiency of the brain. Well and, thirdly, Keyes opened this topic not as do the current authors. He wrote from a position of kindness and sincerity. Humanity.

I admired of the story of man who changing from the inside. Charly grows wiser in all directions simultaneously, and these changes are simply amazing! Really believe that he is not the figment of imagination of a talented author, but a real, once living people, and you're holding his report. The report should be noted, very detailed and diligent, with sparkling dialogue and important details. And the more intelligent Charly becomes, the more detail he gives us, the more he adds his own thoughts and not just telling about what happened.

Of course, at first, to read his meager records it is very difficult, not even because of the fact that he makes mistakes in every word. Here everything is complicated by the incoherence, primitive Charly's thinking.

Throughout the series, Charly not only learns to write correctly, but begins to express more smoothly. In the book, several subplots, there is romance, and career, and the theme of friends, and the subject of reverent attitude to the experimental mouse.

Reading "Flowers for Algernon", I kept thinking about the fact that sometimes people with low IQ are more sensitive, kind than pundits and geniuses. To be honest, I like stupid Charly more than a genius Charly.

The book makes you think about what's most important in life - about love, about humanity, about relationships between people, about what really matters, and spend time on what is not necessary.

July Inspiration

Hello,

July ends and August is getting closer and closer. So, I decided to tell you about differnet things which inspired me in July. I think that it was important month because the exams finally passed and you can just relax and understand what you want to do and finally did some things that you wanted to the year but you didn't have enough time. In July I've read some books and watched films that I want to read and watch for so long. Of course I've found excellent music and musicians. I want to tell you every inspiring things in July. Welcome!


Let's start with MOVIES.

In this month I decided to know better Quentin Tarantino's movies. I've written about Hateful Eight but also I've watched Inglourious Basterds, Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. I want to say that Inglourious Basterds is my favourite Tarantino's movies. I didn't expect that it would be some amazing. I hope that I will watch other his movies and know well any other director.

Also I watched Horrible Bosses 2; Wanted with Angelina Jolie and James McAvoy; a very interesting story about God and his family which live in Brussels - The Brand New Testament (Le Tout Nouveau Testament); Rabbit Without Ears (Keinohrhasen) with Til Schweiger; The Three Musketeers.


SERIES.

I've said it once and I said it again I'm in love with Jane the Virgin. I'm looking for the next season.

BOOKS.

In the beginning of month I've told you about book of shopaholic is SHOPAHOLIC ABROAD. It's the secong book in the series and after that I decided to read the first one (why not) is The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic or Confessions of a Shopaholic. It's incredible about (if you didn't guess) shopaholic. Let me introduce - Rebecca Bloomwood and she adores to go shopping and she has a "little" problem with debt. I think you know the book becouse of film Confessions of a Shopaholic with Isla Fisher and Hugh Dancy.

The other book is 1984. It's so undescribable book but it's very impressed me. The events described in the book seems so close and so far away, so true and false at the same time. All I can say is you should read it.

Jane The Virgin

Hello,

Today I want to tell you about, I think, my favourite TV show in this summer. It's JANE THE VIRGIN. I want to tell you about it because is is not such "type" of series that I usually watch. It's more brazilian series a.k.a TELENOVELA than I've thought although I always think that I hate brazilian series but this one makes me think that it is the best series ever.

There are many funny moments, a little bit of detective and much love. The story is about Jane. Jane is a virgin. Pregnant virgin. That's how it starts. The doctor by mistake instead of the usual inspection procedure artificially inseminates our maid.

Abortion is not a solution for Catholic girls to keep the baby was not an option, then appear the father of the unborn child with his wife, which was intended for the inseminates, a bunch of relatives, mobsters, aristocrats and admirers of the latter-day cult of the virgin mother. In short, the wheel is turning.

The action develops rapidly, the plot throws wild, but at the same time is fairly standard for the genre of pranks and even the VoiceOver of the commentator sometimes has no time to explain to the viewer what is happening but it very helps to understand everything what happens.

I know that I should tell you about plot but really i don't know what to say you without spoilering because it moves so fast and sometimes I think that one episode is like a whole movie. It still makes me watch it all day and night long.

I say one thing to you is you should watch it. It is really amazing. Every detail is well thought. I am in love with emojies, hashtags and unexpected plot twists.

I have some concerns about the series. Two seasons of great show are awesome but if they are seven or eight seasons it can turn into slime, with no interest.

Jane: Mom, I had a dream.

Xiomara: Like the Martin Luther King kind of thing?

Jane: No, like the sex dream kind of thing.

Life is full of tough moments, you have to fight for what you want.

Ok, I'm going to tweet my 6.3 million followers with the hashtag #PleaseFindJane.

Between you and me, I would like to declare myself #TeamMichael. But, first and foremost, I must remain #TeamJane. That means I must encourage you to #Moveon.

Rogelio: You are amazing. 

Xo: No you are.

Rogelio: I know.

6 The Best Dystopian Movies

Hello,

Each of the people waiting for life something positive, right. I want to believe that our efforts in the present will lead to a bright and peaceful future for our descendants. What it is, life in the future? This question is trying to answer. The world of dystopia is the world the coming of totalitarianism, is based on sophisticated social violence and absolute control over the people. There is no place for sincere human feelings, no weakness and doubt. We are planned for life to be an obedient cog in the totalitarian system, and in the case of the uprising against it is doomed to failure. But as they say, there are no rules without exceptions.

In Time

In the distant future we did not capture the aliens don't attack the giant insects and similar creatures, now we just measure the lifetime. You will forever be twenty-five, but you have to pay. And as for the old law of life — survival of the fittest — the rich have left millions of years, and ordinary people are forced to take on credit a month, not to die... Sad but nothing can be done. The film is beautifully made.


Mad Max

From the first minutes of the film impregnated with insane action. The first scene set a certain pace, which over time will increasingly grow. The action develops against the background of a dystopian desert landscape. Two hours waiting for you epic chase, the real crazy race. Wild world-drawn as realistic as possible. A feeling of total immersion in what is happening, if you're a member of this frantic race. The film flies by with incredible speed, adrenaline while watching rolls. "Fury road" consists of destruction, shootings and explosions. You just have to enjoy the act. The dialogue is simply no time, only movement, movement, movement.

1984 (Nineteen Eighty-Four)

Alternative time. 1984. The whole world is under totalitarian power, divided by three bishops. Residents are under constant oppression by the authorities, carrying out prescribed orders and conditions. The main character tried to resist, but couldn't. However, it is properly said an elite member of the party: something you win. It's hard to argue with the fact that "1984" — the darkest dystopia.


Brazil

World "Brazil" will seem unreal, crazy, ridiculous. Insane domination of bureaucracy, the cult of pointless and useless information, a world in which officials endlessly going round in circles, and people are drowning in endless paperwork, dissolve into them, die, and even in sleep, where a person freely floating in the sky, everywhere grow endless walls and bars. One of the best dystopia ever coming out on the screen. This film is often compared with 1984 Orwell's.

District 13

In the near future. Because of a big banditry many criminal areas were isolated from the outside world by huge concrete walls. But it didn't help. This is a movie! Incredible, fantastic... How many more flattering adjectives you can think of for this film? A limitless number! This film is a real example of how to make a movie.


The Hunger Games

Standard dystopian world of the future. The story takes place in the US in the future, where after the war there was a conditional division of the country into two parts: 1) a privileged, high society part 2, consisting of 12 districts, which are home to poor people of technical professions. In the center of the story gets fun, violent entertainment of the highest part of the society, called the "Hungry games". I recommend this movie to anyone who loves post apocalypse

6 Comedies For Those Who Love Black Humour

Hello,

We all have different sense of humor. Someone likes romantic comedies, someone сomedy with a share of cynicism. Black humor is quite unique, but still has much audience of fans. A good movie with a good kind of jokes always had success with those who like to laugh.

The Addams Family

No wonder the movie is considered one of the best comedies in the genre of black humor. The humor in the film is not that black — it's killer! Hellishly funny and deadly hilarious jokes, which I really like. All the characters of this family is unique, though, is for them to love. Yeah, family is really cool. It is something very special. It would seem that death, sorcery and the like that accompanies the life of Addams, always terrified and disgusted. But this film brings a good mood.

Pugsley: ...Because we're Addams'.

Gomez: We're Addams'.

Four Rooms

Great, original, it's just a mad film."Four Rooms" is an unusual film, quite unlike other "black" comedies, here the fun, easy mockery. And it makes the film a pleasant surprise and unique. Looks with great interest. Throughout the picture, only have time to wonder spice to the story and laugh at hilarious, but hard jokes. Tim Roth, who plays in this film the main role, looks amazing. His character is remembered and remains in the memory. Of course, facial expressions and gestures of the main character is one of the main criteria for the success of this film.

Ted the Bellhop: Police! It's an emergency! Police get someone over here right fucking now. There is a dead fuckin' whore!

Zombieland

The film is just classic black, sarcastic and humor. Still, nice to watch the scenes with a Metallica song. Here you are, relationship, romance, sorrow and joy! All emotions, all experiences fit in this small but memorable film. The film is really gorgeous and look it is for each viewer, whether he is a fan of zombie horror comedies or conventional. If you want to relax with friends and spend a pleasant evening, then "Zombieland" is the most suitable option.

Tallahassee: There's nothing more romantic then an old couple dying within minutes of one another.

Columbus: Yeah, that's because you smashed their heads in with a fireplace poker.

Little Rock: This is really, really fucked up.

Tallahassee: Hey-ho! Language. But you're right. It is.

Death Proof

The film is dynamic and crazy, in the best traditions of Tarantino. With a superbly chosen soundtrack. A kind of mixture of trash-horror comedy, with a specific "Tarantino" humor and dialogue. And of course casting. Amazing film, from which it is simply impossible to put down. Tarantino once again showed what he is a master. This film deserves the highest rating, and output — to watch, to watch and rewatch. It's worth it!

Pam: Are you sure it's safe?

Stuntman Mike: It's better than safe. It's death proof.

Death at a Funeral

Long live one of my favorite genres — black Comedy. Well, combine black humor with the English and you will receive one of the best comedies on the subject! Every word is a joke. And death doesn't seem so black and scary. No wonder they say that laughter prolongs life. To say here is useless, this movie you just have to see.

Robert: What are you doing in my dad's coffin?

In Bruges

This is incredible! The whole movie can be taken for quotations. And the dialogue of the characters is something. It's amazing everything: the actors, the imagery, plot, dialogue, imbued with black humor, atmosphere and of course music! And all this action takes place against the background of the toy town of Bruges, which is shown directed so beautiful and cozy that definitely makes you want to visit. An undoubted masterpiece, and probably one of the best black comedies in film history. The film is mandatory viewing to all fans of the genre.

Ray: Maybe that's what hell is, the entire rest of eternity spent in fucking Bruges.

Ice Age: Collision Course [TO WATCH OR NOT TO WATCH]

Oh, hello mammals!

Hello, 

If you are tired of the hot summer, you can watch a new part of the Ice Age. As always, our well-known team has unforeseen troubles and how they always have to save their skins. Generally classic.

This time the threat has become more global and unavoidable for our heroes than any previous, so interest has arisen. The inhabitants of the ice age do not live in peace, this time they will have to seek shelter from the asteroid, which with great speed approaching the Earth.

TO WATCH

A special highlight in the picture was made with excessive imagination of the creators, which directly can be considered creative. I do not consider a disadvantage that every cartoon in the series, except the first, implausible. Still, it's not a documentary about prehistoric animals.

 Here we revealed the secrets of the universe like the rings of Saturn, the red spot on Jupiter, earth phenomena caused by the moon. 

Moreover, it is also encouraging that the creators have not forgotten about the tradition to discover new worlds. In the third part it was an underground world inhabited by dinosaurs, in the fourth — Scratlantis, and then we opened the world under the asteroid, which also is full of beautiful crystals of eternal youth. It's impressive the realism of this new world.

Sid: Everybody has somebody and all I've got is my boyish good looks and this Mariachi band.

  By the way, the animation is simply gorgeous, there's magicians from Blue Sky did a good job. Visuals are attracted to brightness, brilliance, saturation and vibrance, and watch as all of this was pure pleasure.

Including Manny. Diego, Sid and Ellie all left by the wayside. The focus apparently was on Peaches and her new boyfriend — the mammoth Julian. Besides, it can be assumed that the creators were more involved in the presentation of new minor heroes. Thus, most clearly in the tape stood out never losing heart and agile  Buck, funny to colic Sid's granny and flexible and elastic, Shangri Llama. And, of course, everyone's favorite Scrat. Everyone is the fifth time annealed to the full.

Sid: We're gonna stop this thing, baca bing baca boom.

Sid: Forget I said "boom".

Humor, of course, is not as sparkling as it was in the first three movies, but the funny moments were many.  It is not surprising that Scrat and the other minor characters got the lion's share of humor.

NOT TO WATCH

The number of characters in the cartoon just rolls over, the writers do not develop, but simply throws in the story of new characters and is to busy original composition. Here, in addition to the Buck added three Dromaeosaur and a herd of some hippie animal. As they say "NEED MORE CHARACTERS".

Innovation comedy characters are here only for entertainment, and Diego and his friend Shira, it seems generally as extras. In the narrative why it introduced the antagonists performing again, just a humorous feature.

Sid: Could you help me, please? My nose is dangerously close to my butt.

With the addition of the fantastic, the plot becomes more ridiculous. If the first part was attended by drama, there is intrigue from the get-go, and character development occurs.


Still, have the feeling that the authors tell nothing more, just began to think of absolutely unrealistic stories. It seems that sometimes the authors simply repeated, and it was all seen and known. Perhaps this cartoon — farewell and bring finally to the point stories of the characters, and maybe new performance.

"Ice Age: Collision Course" is a worthy continuation of the beloved franchise. Although this tape is noticeably inferior to its predecessors, it clings to their best traditions. Pretty funny, nice, bright and colorful cartoon, which is exactly what should be great fun for all ages.

I thought when sitting in the cinema, about how it was a great first part. And truth be told, I really don't want to continue, I want something new, a new nature.

The Most Extraordinary Music Videos YOU Have Ever Seen

Hello,

A little music does not hurt. Inspired by the band OK GO that takes amazing clips (each music video becomes a sensation: on the treadmills, in the weightlessness), I decided that it would be nice to show you the most extraordinary music videos I have ever seen, and if you have a favorite amazing video, tell us about it in comments.

OK GO, as always, inimitable. These guys are legends music videos! View all videos on their channel.

The idea is to show the visualization of sound through sand, water, plasma and other substances to “see” music through the eyes. The result is really impressive. While viewing the impression, that you begin to “see” the sound with the water and the sand.

The guys from Brunettes Shoot Blondes made a great video. The whole story turned out the guys on the 14 screens of iPhones and iPads.

Singer Boggie unveiled video that shows how to work photoshop, it's certainly not the most important thing, but it looks very unusual. Chic music video.

Disturbing clip Cinnamon Chasers. And the music is good. I again say that it is awesome. Cool video on the wonderful track left in the shade.

Foals have released a music video for the track "Mountain At My Gates". Open the video in Google Chrome and moving the arrows, watch a movie in a 360-degree perspective.

What will you do if your flight will be delayed? Example: man stuck in airport, shot a video for the song Celine Dion - "All By Myself". That's what a creative person

The Legend Of Tarzan [TO WATCH OR NOT TO WATCH]

You are Lord of the Apes, King of the Jungle. Tarzan. Tarzan.

Hello,

Now I'm very exciting about new movie which tells story about Tarzan. I've thought I am not fan of Tarzan but in one moment I decided to go to the cinema and I was not disappointed. You know, I usually go to cinema when I know actors and want to see them in a new way or the movies are new part but this film wasn't the case. I want to see Christoph Waltz and I expect to watch fights, animals and beautiful views and I've seen.

So let's start with the plot of the film. It begins in Congo where  Léon Rom with army negotiate with the tribe Mbonga about dimonds of Opar which needs to king of Belgium Leopold but Leon Rom should bring Tarzan to tribal leader. But there is a problem John Clayton a.k.a Tarzan is in London. John with his wife Jane have already lived in London for ten years after their return from Africa. John gets an invitation to visit Congo and after much thought he decides to go there. That's how their story begins.

TO WATCH

The beauty of unspoiled nature, which wanted to show the authors, is really amazing. Funny ostriches, gorillas, hippos and crocodiles, elephants — and all this against the background drawn to the smallest detail of nature of the jungle. The work was done really great.

Alexander Skarsgard, who became the new Tarzan, in the beginning, showed himself to be so callous and serious, but then emotions have acquired a new color. Margot Robbie played the brave and the daring Jane,. Samuel L. Jackson wormed his way into the company to relieve the tension. And the highlight of the film was Christoph Waltz. Well played immoral bastard even pleasing to the eye.

The most sincere part of the film is the return of the hero home. Meeting with the grown-up relatives, the genuine joy of being in the untouched hand of civilization places, feeling truly present space around such moments bring unforgettable happiness.

 He is no normal man. He was thought to be an evil spirit, a ghost in the trees. No man ever started with less.

NOT TO WATCH

The main disadvantage of the film is an adaptation "from the beginning". Sometimes it seems that you are watching a prequel, not knowing what was where and where it comes from. Despite the fact that the highlights in the life of Tarzan were revealed in short flashbacks, but for the full picture of this, it seems, is not enough. 

Not revealed to the characters and history of minor characters. No people, no animals. Except that brave  Tarzan's  foster-motherpaid at least some attention. But it's too little! Mom's deserve so much more. And about the wild friends of Tarzan I would be interested to know more, not just to look at his fraternizing with them when meeting with the terse statement "we are friends" or "he had known from a young age"...

There is a very long beginning, for which we are given practically nothing that could catch anything that would tell about the characters a little more. 

The picturesque landscapes of Africa pleasing to the eye, the noisy waterfalls, and the jungle is full of danger. John Clayton, however, is not for nothing that in some point asks you not to call him Tarzan — his place now, not in the wild, and in the House of Lords. Yes, a definite plus, though Tarzan really powerful, he is not invulnerable. And all the scars, pain, injury — will not disappear. "The Legend of Tarzan" — good summer movie entertainment, allowing you to recall the legend of his childhood and immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the jungle with the new characters. 

P.S. I'll rewatch the cartoon.

The Hateful Eight [TO WATCH OR NOT TO WATCH]

Hello,

Today I want to tell you about one of the most gorgeous films of Tarantino. And analyze the pros and cons of a new film - the Hateful Eight.

The films of Quentin Tarantino can be treated differently. They can admire or hate, but still worth to admit that Tarantino makes his movie which is different from others. You can be crazy as a film critic or a snarky fan, describing what Quentin is brilliant and masterpiece paintings which he takes, but still, I think many people agree that his films have something that can catch anyone. Quentin does not seek to please somebody or to please a particular audience, he's just doing his job as he sees and as he wants, and the rest is not his concern.

TO WATCH

PLOT

The action takes place in the United States after the Civil war, when the motley company of the bounty hunter, criminals, mercenaries and the sheriff falls in a blizzard and trying to find shelter. However, among this gallant group of eight is the one who is not who he says he is. It would seem that everything is simple in the extreme. But this is only the beginning.

I think everyone knows that a Tarantino movies have always great CAST. In Eight it works with their proven actors, adding a few new faces.

John Ruth in the performance of Kurt Russell turned out great. A sleek snapper, but at the same time, he is on the side of justice and believes that "hang only need notorious, but notorious need to hang". His prisoner is Daisy Domergue. He slaps and calls her only "bitch". That the Daisy is played by Jennifer Jason Leigh. So to play the vicious gangster is a talent. All her jokes and antics is just top class. Marquis Warren, played by, perhaps, a favorite actor of Quentin — Samuel L. Jackson, also went to glory. Here's someone who just disgusting. Sheriff Chris Mannix — that's just the character for which it is possible to worry, and the villain to call it does not work. The character of Walton Goggins in this film — a huge pleasant surprise. He just plays amazing!

As we know haberdashery is a few more people. One of them is Osvaldo Mobray in the performance of Tim Roth. To say that I love this actor — to say nothing. So it was his appearance in the new film, Tarantino's most looking forward to. The cowboy, Joe Gage, who plays another actor from reservoir dogs — Michael Madsen — not so failed. Terse and, in general, uninteresting fellow, who, he said, goes for Christmas to her mother. And this is all that can be said about this image. The seventh and eighth main characters are Mexican and the old General, the main are not even close. Somehow they are not registered and not remembered. Then, too, in the number of main characters could be included and the coachman O. B. — he's got about as much screen time and the same "interesting" person.

Little of the appearance of Zoe Bell and Channing Tatum are very pleased. I don't like Tatum, but it worked pure magic Tarantino — even mediocre actors play it cool.


MUSIC

Noteworthy is the fact that this is the first film in which the music is written specifically for the film. Of the entire galaxy of composers Tarantino chooses Ennio Morricone. He probably knew that no one else will create THIS kind of music. I can't imagine what could be another music. Music crafted for emphasis, underlining meaningful passages, increasing the tension...

DIALOGUES


Whether there are who think that Tarantino can be boring and uninteresting dialogue? Yes this is his trick! Dialogues, dialogues and dialogues! Yes! The best dialogues in the movie only in the movies Tarantino! It also must be able to repeat the same phrase so that each time she was only saturation and more important!

HUMOUR

With this in our Western is all right, but if you have even a little sophisticated sense of humor, then you are doubly lucky, because even the most violent and bloody moments played so well that he made my sick and twisted mind to laugh!

THE DIVISION OF CHAPTERS

 It gave a feeling that the film is based on some kind of work. And gave the total duration (3 hours) special character, which the film passed in one breath.

PHRASE

They were diluted so long, but a fascinating dialogue. And one of them I can quote:

You wanna know what that sign said, Senior Bob? "No Dogs or Mexicans Allowed." Minnie hung that sign up the day she opened this haberdashery, and it hung over that bar every day until she took it down a little over two years ago. Know why she took it down? She started letting in dogs. 

NOT TO WATCH

Cruelty? After the release of the now legendary series "Game of Thrones" cruelty is difficult to surprise anyone, and Tarantino cruelty already looks childish prattle in comparison with what we saw in the series.


Blood from Tarantino, of course, an indispensable attribute always used masterfully, juicy and to the point, but without causing distraction (not true for the faint of heart;). But why, tell me, what was needed was a bloody fountain, erupting from the poisoned character is one fountain left (could stop), the second to the right, and a couple of fountains in face of Daisy closeup.

What is missing is tension. No discharge, from which the audience would have stood up in anticipation of action.


"Hateful Eight" like a mixture of Thriller, Western and black Comedy. It has some slowness, but also have the dynamics and dialogues related to the plot. In "Eight" makes sense... "the Eight" still good wins... Good with all its half-baked, disgusting, cunning, but a noble, not to betray. Evil walking corpses to save you get what you deserve.

Be Cool and Have Fun, 

Darie
