Last year the movie The King´s Speech was released on the cinemas. I watched it yesterday. It keept me captivated. It has a bunch of really good actors. One scene I find entertaining is when Colin Firth - playing the main character King George IV - is trying to get out some anger.... and therefore is aiming at swearing.... But he is not really used of it so it comes out a little bit clumsy....but he gets better, cute ending... made me laugh....
So anyone else has any ideas of how to get of frustration or anger without hurting others or swearing?
A family member of mine use to say that you cannot hinder the birds to fly around your head, but you can stop them from building a nest there. Its really a metaphor about letting go of what other thinks and says of you. Perhaps if you build your own nest you may be able to have a better understanding of the situation, since you might have changed your perspective and are above the feelings on a safe spot.
This morning I was as usually checking through the news and found a very interesting article about a tree hotel in northern Sweden. Prices for a night is prolly more thought of for the ones travelling on a big budget (2000-4000sek/night) or those who wants to celebrate something. Perhaps an unusual honey moon, like lovers in a nest...
The birds did not create this. But they inspired us to think of the possibility of another place to live...or perhaps just to get away from the busy city life and live closer to nature. In 2008 a movie called "Trädälskaren" (The tree lover) was released. It is about building a little place to live high up in a pine. To live up there connects us to ancient time and dreams, where the tree is the symbol of life force, growth and grounding.
The tree lover was the inspiration for the Tree Hotel (following links and click on image to transfer to the homepage and origin of photo). I really like the beautiful a room with a view, the ufo....
....and this one is my favourite in style...the mirrorcube.
There is a great reportage done by BBC where you could get a better feeling of the rooms and stay within them. Watch it here.
hey people, I know it has been more than a week ago since I have been writing to you..... I am fine... living 3 and a half hours south of Uppsala at my mums place...it's pretty rural, even if the village is the "capital" of this municipality... The public library is great and I am here very often to use internet, scan and copy my documents, renting books from far away (they are very good at finding ones for my thesis and travel)...
I just watched the following movies. The first one is a Danish one from 2007 (note the subtitles in Spanish... :) ), in English its something about "Island of lost souls" but originally its called "De fortabte sjæles ø". I think its special effects is really neat done and the story kept me captivated. Nice going....
The second movie is the directorial debut of Drew Barrymore - Whip it (2009). I think its a cool feel-good movie. It's funny, clever, warm, un-expected and the best of all - the music. I like the way that Drew is part of the movie and her character in it... :) makes me smile....and of course the message of the movie to boost girls self asteem up and make us believe that we can become what ever we want, to "Be our own heros".
Imagine to have a bag which does not weight anything and which you can store a lot of things in. Instead of having a magic purse, I try to pack with just essentials. Learning to become less dependent on the materials and more so to the spiritual. Although, I find it of great imagination when enchanted bags pops up in movies and books in the way like it does here:
Relating to the previous post I made, I would like to bring up this Scandinavian movie based on the book called Sophie's World. I remembered that I watched it during high school and it was really captivating me. One of my favourite subjects by then was also philosophy so it was good entertainment. The movie is about this girl who gets face to face with influential philosophers in history. Here, let's watch the trailer for it...
There is so many nice people out there. People to have a tea with, some to go to cinema with, others to have deep existentialistic philosophic discussions, friends to party with and to laugh with, and even so a few more for studies, making dinner and to raise your voice with... But sometimes in life, you just meet those stars that like every aspect of you, love you whichever side you would show. They don't doubt you, but support you and give you love, respect, trust. Someone to laugh, relax and feel safe with.
When I was a teenager we were a very tight friendship group of four, and we all - curiously enough - were having different elements. It was like our group was balanced. Four people driven by water, fire, earth and air combined with a bound of loving spirit.
Just when I was in doubt, I find myself having the same kind of setting with friends again - and I am happy.
So here is some songs for friendships...
---------------------------------------- Annie - It's a hard knock life (1982) Note: Jay-z also did a funky version of this
--------------------------------------------------------- Hello Saferide - My best friend (2005?) Note: Swedish artist, new album released this year
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
...just because I love dancing, Dirty Dancing 1 (1987) was not able to emded...so here is a great song from the second Dirty Dancing called Havanan nights (2004), which btw is a great dance movie....
There is a part in one of the seasons of Ally McBeal where she tries to find her song. She walks down the street to her work and goes through different beats to find her special one that makes her feel good and energised...I love that part, but am unsure of the song (perhapsthis one?) and the episode...too bad... But here is my song anyways...my absolute favourite song which I sing when I am on the best of moods... although I use to sing "how wonderful life is, when your by my side"...
Before you watch this I might need to tell you a bit about this movie. It's about the French place Moulin Rouge and a story with a lot of dancing, about love. In this scene Satine (played by Nicole Kidman) has mistaken Christian for the duke and therefore tries to seduce him. The duke has a lot of money and was going to fund a show in Moulin Rouge but wanted to go out with the star Satine. So she was told to be a bit willingly...but it becomes a bit funny (and she will eventually fall in love with Christian instead which is not good since she has to be true to the duke for the funding of the place) when she doesn't realise her mistake. But I put up this scene because I love the song. When I was showdancing in my teenage I danced to another great song from this film.... but now - your song.
I know this is a pretty old movie, but I still think it is beautifully done. Especially the closure scene.... Perhaps you should watch the whole movie before the clip below. You could get a snapshot here which is also a great scene.
