(e)Book – Love and friendship

  (e) Book –  Love and friendship Full title :  Love and friendship and other early works Author : Jane Austen Score : /10 Year : 1790 (original) ; 2012 (this edition) Publisher : Duke Classics   ISBN  978-1-62012-155-9  // 9781620121559  (ebook)  Pages :  Language: English Jane Austen is best known for her 6 novels, which all have been adapted into tv movies - but after having read Virginia Woolf's short fiction in chronological order, I decided to apply the same for Austen's publications, to better appreciate her growth and evolution in narrative style. So, before reading her novels which were released from 1811 to 1817, in the following order :  Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma,  Northanger Abbey, Persuasion, I decided to go back to her teenage years, reading Love and Friendships, and other early works.

Did you notice many, many of the films i watch are science-fiction? lol
well, a lot to be said about Interstellar.
I wasn't sure what to expect, as I disliked Nolan's previous ''Inception'' deception... I had felt as if I'd fallen into an explosion with no real beginning, and after 10 minutes gave up on it, and was afraid that my money wouldn't be well spent on Interstellar. Yet, upon many recommendations, I decided to go watch it on the big screen and wow, what a treat.

As usual, theatre volume is just wayyyyy too loud, I'll never stress that. Especially since there are many noisy moments, on the verge of bursting one's ears, so really, they need to reduce said volume.

There were a few predictable moments, sadly, but a lot of original and unpredictability as well... 


The special effects were good, but not the main focus, as the real story is about human drama, right from the start, with an amazing performance by Matthew Mcconaughey, very moving.

Hans Zimmer's score was really good as well.

I loved a lot of the main messages in this multilayered movie, but I'll let you discover them and we'll discuss that in private, because I don't want to spoil to those who haven't seen it yet... just go watch it.

There are robots, very different from other scifi movies, nicely done.
There is comic relief, there is drama to experience, and my only real gripe would be Murph, mcconaughey's daugter in the movie : good acting, but why call her that and not Murphy ?!
