Love Is All you Need

 

Danish movie (original title: Den skaldede frisør) you might not recognize the acress, Trine Dyrholm, but think you have all heard of Pierce Brosnan, and yes, he does speak a little Danish in the movie. Actually it is not the first time, that Pierce Brosnan tries to speak a little Danish in a movie, as he has done it in a James Bond movie.

 

Ida completes her cancer chemo treatment and is looking forward to a trip to Italy, where her daughter is getting married. Her happiness is spoiled when she walks in on her husband having sex with a girl his daughter's age. Distressed by her discovery, she runs into the father of the groom (car accident) a man she dislikes in every possible way. The trip to Italy seems to become very challenging and it is not helping that the husband decides to bring his mistress to the wedding.

 

A romantic comedy that just makes you feel good, dispite dealing with cancer, adultery, broken hearts, etc. :o)

 

 

 

You've Got Mail

Well that is the title of one of my favourite movies, but also what immediately popped into my mind when I saw the sketch challenge from Panduro Hobby - though not email but real mail.

What if...someday??!! Guess that is one of the curses when you love paper craft: you simply can not part with small pieces of scraps from other creations, as they might just come in handy some day. Found a template, that I purchased a long time ago in Panduro Hobby and had to downsize it with the help of the scanner/photocopier, so I ended up with just the right size.

I know how much I enjoy getting real mail in my mailbox and think the intended receiver of this card does too - just might attempt to do an extra couple of these cards with different sentiments, as it could be used for lots of occations.

Can a Movie Really Inspire you??

I should be sleeping now - or maybe doing other things on my have-to-do-list instead of blogging.... have to get up earlier tomorrow (or it it today?) to make a card to a colleague.

I just saw "Letters to Juliet" on DVD, and I just had to write about it - not the movie, but the thoughts it generated.... no wonder part of my blog's sub-headline is "Random thoughts just put out there...."

Well my old innovation professor would call my string of thoughts, association technique... but here goes... all inspired by a chick-flick I soo needed after having had a troublesome day.

Just the title made me think of "Romeo & Julie" and of course Shakespeare, one of the worlds greatest writers... or was he? Hmmmm.... been reading way to many books with different theories on that subject andstill does not know, what to believe.

Everywhere I looked, it was if as the world could only speak about writing: this movie, the fact that they handed out the Nobel Prize of Litterature today, that the heroine in todays movie wants to be a writer, that one of my favorite magazine announced a writing competition today...

Do you believe in signs? I mean, it can all be coincidental...?!

She is searching... in the movie.... Claire is searching for her long lost love Lorenzo and Sophie is searching to refind her passion for writing... and the rewards are so much more than the initial searches.

And I just realised... Maybe I have been looking for something without even realising it? I think that the writing competition is a challenge, that I have to do.... I do not expect to win... But it is simply to try to accomplish writing that story and feel good about it.

Maybe I am rambling and it is getting late.... but time to take a dive into the deep end of the pool and see if I can reach the edge of the pool :o)
