BLOGGER RECOGNITION AWARD

BLOGGER RECOGNITION AWARD

Nov 5, 2020 | AWARD

I am delighted to have been nominated for the Blogger Recognition Award and extend my thanks to Jaya from Nin Chronicles for this amazing nomination!
Jaya is a wonderful poet so don’t miss the chance to explore the magic that her deep words inspire.
I love her poems!
Dear Jaya I am really grateful and happy for the luck I had the day I “met” you.

ABOUT THIS AWARD:
it is given to bloggers by bloggers, who in turn pass it on.
The Award promotes community and shows us just how far one little thing can go as each nominee shares the love further.

RULES:

  1. Thank the person who nominated you and include the link to their site.

  6. Tell your nomimees about your award post so they can partecipate!

WHY I STARTED MY BLOG:
well, simply because who loves me encouraged me to fight my fear and not to be ashamed of sharing what I always loved: writing.
Also considering that I like socializing since ages ago when the only way was through paper letters by mail …

TWO PIECES OF ADVICES FOR NEW BLOGGERS:
to tell the truth I don’t think to be able to give advices, but maybe, if you allow me, I can tell that on my opinion the most important thing is be yourself.
No matter if you aren’t perfect.
No matter if you have faults: flaws are the features that make you different from others.
Because no one else is like you.

And then … enjoy! Have fun!
Live life in full, don’t loose anything and share laughing

IN INGHILTERRA IL CAFFÈ HA SEMPRE IL GUSTO DI UN ESPERIMENTO CHIMICO Agatha Christie

IN INGHILTERRA IL CAFFÈ HA SEMPRE IL GUSTO DI UN ESPERIMENTO CHIMICO Agatha Christie

Ago 27, 2020 | CINEMA, LIBRI

In Inghilterra il caffè ha sempre il gusto di un esperimento chimico.
Agatha Christie

A colei che è la Queen assoluta andrebbe dedicato un intero blog, tanto per esprimere quel minimo di ammirazione e di stima che merita.

Ma per rimanere nella nostra misura spazio temporale del caffé intanto inizierei dal fondo: cioè dal trailer del prossimo Assassinio sul Nilo. Lo hai già visto? 

Inutile dire che io sono molto curiosa, senza contare che appena ho sentito le prime note di Policy of Truth  è scattata una standing ovation.
Purtroppo non sono stata a molti concerti però i Depeche Mode a Milano negli anni 80 sono stati un grande sì.

Ma torniamo all’Assassinio sul Nilo: questa possiamo considerarla come terza versione dopo il film con Peter Ustinov del 1978 e Poirot sul Nilo del 2004 con David Suchet.

Direi che Kenneth Branagh si sente a proprio agio nei panni dell’investigatore nato dalla penna di Agatha Christie se ha deciso di replicare dopo Assassinio sull’Orient Express.

Eppure Hercule Poirot è un personaggio molto particolare, all’apparenza scomodo direi, e in linea generale io non lo avrei mai associato a Branagh seppure io lo consideri molto bravo. Forse perché lo ho sempre percepito come molto inglese e come attore Shakesperiano per eccellenza.

Oltretutto nel suo Assassinio sull’Orient Express a mio avviso Kenneth Branagh si è complicato ancor di più la prova con la presenza di Johnny Depp: da quando è posseduto dallo spirito di Jack Sparrow ci ha abituati a ruoli caricaturali tipo Lone Ranger, Dark Shadows, per non parlare di Mortdecai, che per quanto mi riguarda hanno fatto sì che per tutta la visione del film mi aleggiasse nella mente la domanda “perchè Depp è Ratchett e non Poirot?

A onor del vero però i baffi di Branagh per quanto possano sembrare esagerati sono più fedeli ai baffi pensati da Agatha Christie, non trovi?

Dunque, tralasciando interpretazioni che non hanno lasciato il segno come quelle di Albert Finney, Tony Randall, Austin Trevor e Alfred Molina, qual è il tuo Poirot preferito?

Peter Ustinov, David Suchet o Kenneth Branagh?
