A Discovery of Witches (2018)
This show is just so Clever and Beautiful
Okay let me start this review off by disclosing that I am totally not a teenager as one might think and I am surprisingly not even someone who interested in fantasy but I somehow stumbled upon this show ( I havd never heard about the All souls Trilogy, but will definitely add it in my read list) and I just couldn't stop watching it, I binged watched all the episodes 😁 This show is brilliantly directed with an amazing cast, omg i felt like a teenger fangirling over Matthew and Diana's chemistry, the plot is very strong and it keeps getting better, with each episode one cant wait for the story to unfold as in the opening scene you can hear Matthew saying "In every ending, there is a new beginning" ,this cant be more true when it comes to every episode of ADOW, it is AWESOME, the scenery and the soundtrack are also praiseworthy and beautiful, all in all this show has a strong, clever plot and a breathtakingly beautiful chemistry between the leads... everyone must give it a try..teens or adults!
Edit: Season 2 is coming out and i can't wait any futher for it, 5 more months to go but I am sure its worth the wait.
P.S. I could have never imagined Matthew Goodmen in a vampire's role, but it just couldn't get better. He is tooooo good😍
Suite Française (2014)
So human, watch to see the very essence of being human..!
Its a must watch. I had no expectations or any sort of idea about the background of this movie,but i was pleasantly surprised.
This movie shows that how when humans are looked closely and compared to each other, you will be shocked to discover that they all are made of the same element , deep down the flesh , our emotions, our needs as humans, our sufferings, duties, morals, feelings are all same despite the differences in skin, race,language and culture..we are all one.. it shows that how our hearts if given the chance,would strike a similar symphony and this movie only shows how two humans bound to resent each other or meant to have no emotional connection, tend to fall in love, through the language of kindness and musical notes, love is the very essence of being human, it is the most simple thing about us as complex beings, its drives us towards passion and makes us move away surprisingly from our initial motives, the deviation from the essence of love is hatred..which not only separates us physically but creates a chaos in our so called ideologies, the characters here belong to different ideologies but they are one as a human.
The main characters in this movie are so subtle , so real that they actually come to life on your screen ( despite the fact i watched it on a small screen- laptop) , you tend to get goosebumps equally both on their pain and their passion, the actors are remarkable and their chemistry is so lively.
Matthias Schoenaerts is an absolute gem, he comes with an air of mistrust and gentleness that sweeps you over and makes you fall hard for him, for he is as human as any one of us can be, in that "duty" uniform, as he says in the movie " i am supposed to be the one people are afraid of" and yet he is so approachable and kind. Michelle has done a great job in showing her character development, starting as an obedient submissive daughter-in-law but soon she rises above herself, becomes assertive in the matters of heart, passion and finally when it comes to her moral/ social duties , this movie is a must watch..its touches somewhere deep,- makes you feel empty in the last few minutes..but thats how great things are..they leave an impact.
