So I’ve just finished to watch red white and royal blue and honestly I didn’t have much expectation but that was great !
I was literally giggling and kicking the whole thing because of my joy seeing Henry and Alex on screen. First of all,Alex actor was perfect. The first part of the film was so fun and gave a feeling close to when I was reading the book. The cake scene, the hospital scene etc… But, I expected it, when the love story started I was so disappointed that all the side stories were erased. The story of Béatrice, Alex freaking out about being bi (as a bi person it really matters to me), the personality of Nora, Raphaël and of course June (seeing Alex being an only child was heartbreaking). Most importantly, I missed the whole group of friends (and the kimono in the karaoke scene) that I think was so important to Henry's development. And I wanted a few little details like the quotes from Remus Lupin but it's just that I wanted an unrealistic 5 hour movie for this book. So yes the story had lost a lot of depth but again it was expected. Except, the romance was cute and touching and I'm definitely going to see it again (I have to reread the book first )
dont you love it when dorcas
Crying in front of mechanics or mathematics was not my idea of how I was going to spend my evenings as a university student…
More alcohol and fewer theorems would be better
I literally do everything to be miserable. I have no survival instinct it's dramatic
I'm going to one of the most prestigious schools in my country. I don't want to go there because I like the studies or because I'll be well paid when I leave. Not just because there's a ball where you can carry a real sword (need I ask for a better reason?).
Unpopular opinion : I prefer The Goldfinch by Dona Tartt than The Secret history
Am I procrastinating from reading my books for school while reading other books? Yes. will I regret it? probably. am I going to stop doing it? Never.
It's only been two days since I returned to class and I'm already behind on work? Like how?
So happy to have had Babel for Christmas. I already have the American edition so I can compare the translations, and I can't wait to see how the translator has adapted the meaning of the words in the French version!
And above all, I can't wait to meet the characters again. Babel is the book that really made an impression on me in 2023, and I literally quote it in all my French essays.
