Today's Topic:

1920's inspired films:

From the start, I promised you guys to be honest with you, and to show my true colours. So here it goes.

I've only recently discovered my love for the era of jazz - the 1920s. Ever since I was little, these songs always interested me and put a smile on my face, but now, at an age when I am beginning to discover myself and am full of curiosity, I want to search, search and search.

My ultimate dream is to visit Paris in the 1920s - speak with Ernest Hemmingway, Gertrude Stein and discuss with them works such as Picasso's. (If some of you have watched 'Midnight in Paris' directed by Woody Allen, you'll know where this wanting has derived from). To be in the company of rich aristocrats, small talking and keeping up the expectations a noble has. I think you get the picture ;)

And if you don't here are some pour vous:



An even more gobsmacking depiction of the 1920's is in my eyes 'The Great Gatsby'' (2013). I'm not one to judge the directing etc. because I haven't yet read the book and I'm halfway through the film, but some scenes were simply spectacular and have stuck in my mind with all the colours vivid and clear. If you haven't already, you guys should definitely buy the dvd or just download online.
Tip: Maybe reading the book would be a better idea first :)


Will continue this some other time, unfortunately got lots of homework due in tomorrow :(
Need to keep my head up and STAY STRONG!

GOOD DAY:)
