WINONA FOREVER

WINONA FOREVER

Choosing a name for a newborn child is never a trivial matter, and certainly Mr and Mrs Horowitz decided on a name for their daughter that is striking.

Winona.

One would be inclined to quote Donnie Darko: “What the hell kind of name is that? It’s like some sort of superhero or something.”

Winona is the place of birth, but more importantly Winona is a female name of Native American origin meaning ‘first-born daughter’ in the Dakota and Sioux languages.

The surname Ryder, on the other hand, is a tribute to Mitch Ryder

We could also consider a married surname: Reeves.

Since the 1990s, in fact, she affectionately calls Keanu ‘husband’ because unbeknownst to them, the person who celebrated their wedding in Bram Stoker’s film Dracula was not an actor but a real priest. 

Francis Ford Coppola, but also Martin Scorsese and The Age of Innocence that earned her a Golden Globe, or Tim Burton with Edward Scissorhands or Bettlejuice that closes the circle in a way.

The iconic scenes featuring Winona would be so many, do you want to name one?

Is there a particular film you prefer out of all the ones she has starred in?

Winona was also a testimonial in a Japanese  commercial advertising coffee laughing

Don’t you find If you wanna be happy in Mermaids extremely addictive? 

Or irresistible My Sharona in Reality Bytes? 

Winona forever then?

She is Jo March!

Winona forever

She is human after all, so human that she has also made mistakes.

Maybe it’s because of this that I fell in love with Joyce Byers and all her imperfection in Stranger Things

Winona forever

And you?

How do you feel about the name your parents gave you?

FLORENCE COFFEE

FLORENCE COFFEE

Florence coffee … what comes to mind?

Actually the correct wording is Florence by Mills coffee and Mills is Millie Bobby Brown

Why Florence then?

Florence is the name of Millie’s great-grandmother, a woman who left her with a lesson: beauty is about loving and expressing yourself.

In fact, the brand was originally born for a makeup line.

What about the coffee?

Well … the connection is with the morning routine: waking up with a burst of energy helps you get the most out of your day. Coffee, moisturizer and depuffing … What else do you need? ☕️

I’m going to make a bad impression but my morning mood is much more on the chords of Hopper‘s “coffe and contemplation.” 

Millie Bobby Brown morning routine is:

– waking up

– feed the dogs

– take the dogs out

– drinking coffee

– take supplements

– starting work

Undoubtedly Eleven also has the power of business: this is demonstrated by this line of products dedicated to a very specific target audience.

Morning routine equals time to devote to oneself, a repeated ritual, a habit rather than a practice.

What is your morning routine like?

I do not have a morning routine: there are always many things to do in the morning, however if I could hypothetically my morning routine would be:

– breakfast sitting and outside

– reading

ok, let’s exaggerate: dream morning routine

– walking on the beach

Do you want to dream too?

MORNINGS ARE FOR COFFEE AND CONTEMPLATION

MORNINGS ARE FOR COFFEE AND CONTEMPLATION

Of course I couldn’t help but go crazy for this scene

 

David Harbor has a long filmography even if before Stranger Things probably many had that famous feeling of “I’ve seen him in which movie?”

Undoubtedly Hopper is a character!
And undoubtedly the step from Hopper to Alexei Shostakov aka Red Guardian is a bit of a caricature compared to the features that made Hop so loved.

Regarding Black Widow, I would especially mention the cover of Smells like teen spirit

 

And speaking of covers: David Harbor proposed American Pie in one of the opening scenes to give more emotionally engaging depth to his character.
Good job.

But most of all, I really enjoyed this visit to his Manhattan home

 

Books and books among which he was keen to show two copies of Don Quixote.

And then guitars, plants, and the memory of “Shakespeare in the park” in New York with Meryl as Juliet and Kevin Kline as Romeo I can’t believe I’ve been missing so far!

You knew it?
See here what I found! To me it’s like One-eyed Willy’s treasure!

To be explored ASAP !!!
