💡Preparing for the BOOK CLUB SESSION 4 , I recalled some films 🎥 based on STEPHEN KING'S novels and short stories .
The list is impressively long!
Have you ever watched any ? 🤔
Interestingly enough,I've seen very few ones as horror and thrillers are not my cup of tea at all but I remembered " The green mile " ( 1999) ... It made me think 🤔 Was it a true story??🤔
"The Green Mile" is partially based on a true story.
Well, precisely speaking, the 1999 movie is based on Stephen King’s novel of the same name that was published in 1996. When it comes to the inspiration of the book, it is believed that King based his novel on a 14-year-old boy named George Stinney Jr., the youngest ever to be sentenced to death in the electric chair in the 20th century in America.
The film is emotionally charged,heart-wrenching at times. Tom Hanks is incomparable there 🔥 one of my favorite actors and he still is !

🤩" PEOPLE- PLEASER " has landed on the Italian Lexical ground too , which hardly ever surprises me 🤓
Italian is full of English words.
If you know English well, you are able to understand a half of the Italian article( or a borderline half 😀)
E.g. Potresti essere un people pleaser. Una persona che desidera essere apprezzata dagli altri ad ogni costo, così tanto da arrivare a perdere sé stessa pur di andare incontro ai desideri di chi ha intorno.
🧐desiderare- to desire
🧐arrivare - to arrive
🧐apprezzare - to appreciate
🧐una persona - a person
🧐ad ogni costo - at all costs
🧐desideri - desires,wishes
Магия!И спасибо ЛАТИНСКОМУ языку ☀️Статья прекрасна и " people- pleaser " ( человек,который угождает всем в ущерб себе самому) описывается очень занимательно.

An UMBRELLA TERM is a phrase that encompasses a wide range of concepts, often with varying degrees of similarity or relevance. It's like a big, juicy catch-all for anything and everything that fits under its broad and all-encompassing definition.
✍✍✍
Soooo,guys, you can talk using UMBRELLA TERMS about anything if you don't want to get bogged down in details or specifics.
😂 I'm pretty sure 'conspiracy theorist' is just an Umbrella Term for people who don't understand science.
😂 "I'm sorry, I can't provide an Umbrella Term for your stupidity."

💃🤔 'SUPREMATIC DRESS’( супрематическое платье) was created in 1923 by Kazimir Malevich in Suprematism style.
Yesterday I eagerly went to the lecture called " МОДА И РУССКИЙ АВАНГАРД" 🔥🔥🔥
2 hours flew like 5 minutes and I finally had learned what AVANT-GARD is !!
The word captivated me and here is where it came from :
📌avant-garde (n.)
also avant garde, avantgarde; French, literally "advance guard" (see avant + guard (n.)). Used in English 15c.-18c. in a literal, military sense; borrowed again 1910 as an artistic term for "pioneers or innovators of a particular period." Also used around the same time in a political sense in communist and anarchist publications. As an adjective, by 1925.
It is not as though I had never heard the word before and had been living in oblivion 😂but it shines new colors to me now and NO I'm definitely NOT going to wear " супрематическое платье" in the foreseeable future 😂🙈

📕📗📒ONLY UP BOOK CLUB Session 6 and JACK LONDON’S short story " A piece of steak " for our discussion..
📌Interesting facts:
Jack London’s 1909 “A Piece of Steak” is a naturalist short story first published in The Saturday Evening Post.
It took him between two and four weeks to write, and he was paid a very handsome (for the era) $500 for it. While London is best known for his novels about the Alaskan wilderness, including The Call of the Wild and White Fang, he was also interested in workers’ rights and advocated for socialism and unions.
“A Piece of Steak” is one of his best-known short stories and, like many London stories of the era, explores social Darwinist themes.
📖The link to the story and the documentary about Jack London is already in our Skype Group 🔍
See you on June,2d at 12.00 ❤️

📽🎞 Anthony Hopkins and the poignant drama (2023) made me ignite my passion to watch and rewatch the films with the actor ,who ,in fact, has always been the one and my favorite actor so far.
📽Known for his exceptional acting prowess, Anthony Hopkins has also shared a wealth of insightful quotes that reflect his unique perspective on life, philosophy, and the human condition.
From his views on self-acceptance to his thoughts on the world we live in, his words inspire, provoke thought, and offer a deeper understanding of our existence
💡A friend of mine dropped the recommendation for the film... Long time had passed since I saw such an impeccable and elegant acting like Anthony's ...Time and age takes its toll with many actors but not with Anthony Hopkins.
JUST WATCH .. ....no more words.. .

" Спотти и я " parla di molte cose serie . Della nostra vita oggi,parla di noi ...
По-русски: фильм не простой, многослойный и говорит о нас в современном мире. РЕКОМЕНДУЮ! 🔥
Как сказал сам режиссёр на презентации, что фильм об одиночестве, любви,молодых людях 21 века ,о мечтах и их реализациях.
💡Не найдёте в интернете:
🎥 Фильм посвящен двум друзьям Козимо, которые сподвигли его стать режиссёром и он посвятил этот фильм им. Они ушли из жизни во время ковида.... В конце фильма вы увидите их имена.
Фильм 🎥 вдохновлен документалкой о сообществе людей,которые из Англии и весьма " оригинальны" в своих пристрастиях)))
❤️Per me e' stato un film comovente, gentile, di qualita e molto di solitudine ❤️
Guardatelo, raggazi 👍👍
