Title: Born a Crime Author: Trevor Noah “Love is a creative act. When you love someone you create a new world for them. My mother did that for me, and with the progress I made and the things I learned, I came back and created a new world and a new understanding for her.”

Title: The Magnolia Story Author: Chip & Joanna Gaines “It was such a blessing to find myself thriving in the middle of the pain. Unless you find a way to do that, there's always going to be this fake illusion that once you get there--wherever "there" is for you--you'll be happy. But that's just not life. If you can't find happiness in the ugliness, you're not going to find it in beauty, either.” - Joanna Gaines

Title: The Zookeeper's Wife Author: Diane Ackerman “All our senses feed the brain, and if it diets mainly on cruelty and suffering, how can it remain healthy? Change that diet, on purpose, train mentally to refocus the mind, and one nourishes the brain.”

Title: Lunch in Paris: A Love Story, with Recipes Author: Elizabeth Bard “They weren't tears of sadness or even tears of joy. I was just overflowing. Like so many things since I'd been here, I didn't yet understand it, but I felt it.”

The music and score for the movie was so beautifully written and portrayed. Part of that is because the original composer who helped with the animated version came back to help with the live action film. That made my heart happy to know that those in charge of this production wanted to make the original audience love this movie just as much as the new audience. I was perfectly fine with the new songs because it allowed for the story to grow. It helped to develop the characters and their stories. After all another song or two wouldn't hurt anybody. It will be something else that we can add to our current collection of beloved songs from Beauty & The Beast. | The story line, script, and actors were perfectly aligned with the original (in my eyes at least). They allowed for this to be the same story that we fell for, but also for it to be something new that makes you fall in love all over again. This is kind of the reason why I said at the beginning that this is: A Tale As Old As Time... Retold In A New Light. The original story and vision for it, is still there in its entirety. I just loved that the story was expanded and we were able to have this love story last a little longer. The cast to me was perfectly casted. Emma Watson blew me away by her performance, and I knew she would. I was so happy when I first heard cast rumors when the idea was sparked years ago, because there is nobody who is even close to perfect to play the Belle that I love. Thank you Emma Watson for becoming the Belle that we all know & love. Thank you for brining her to life. Thanks to the entire cast for doing the same. |
I will post here about books, movies, songs, poems, quotes, and anything else from the art industry.
