Salut Mikael!

I love French. Anything French is good and you know it.
French Fries, French History, French Fashion, French Kiss, French Art, French Movies, ...

"Tomboy"

I changed 3 schools and 1 country between 1st and 12th grades. Which was crazy.
 First time was when I finished 4th grade. I think it was the hardest since I was pretty young, and my life was all about my friends.
I was feeling very scared, thinking how in the world was I going to fit in with the kids in the new school? Thanks to my delirious self, that never was a problem, I jumped right in.

Although Laure approached a different way. 
After her family moved to a different neighborhood, she had the entire summer to hang out with the kids from the area, and start the new year in a new school with them. 
The story begins when she introduces herself as a boy, Mikael.

Dressing like a boy, acting like a boy, looking like a boy is so much easier when you're 10 years old. 
Being the new kid, spending the entire summer with "his" buddies, playing and laughing around also brings some attention from the girls of the block.

woof! Look at those eyes!



It's not only hard pretending, but knowing your lie will be out once the school starts.

Great movie written and directed by CĂ©line Sciamma. Loving her name (hihihi).

A must see;


ENJOY

How to Live Your Life

I'm super excited about this post.
Last night, a cute cute friend invited me and another friend over for a dinner + movie night. After having a healthy meal, we sat on her cozy couch to watch a french movie. I love international movies, but last night, I just did not feel like reading all these subtitles! But let me tell you, it was worth 100 times. 

" Intouchables"

It is already in my top 10 favorites. I felt so many emotions while watching it, its ridiculous. Of course I loved it because it was also based on a true story, and as I mentioned before, I have a thing for those kind of films.
It is about a black man from the ghettos of Paris applying for a job just to get welfare payments. The job he applies is for care-taking of a neck-to-toe paralyzed man. The movie starts when he gets hired and how he changes both their life by not pitying Phillipe ( paralyzed man) and helping him to live his life.




It's a comedy- drama, just how I like it. I laughed so much watching it, I cried. And of course I also cried because how touching it was ( hahaha like always!).
I don't care what you have to do, but find a way to watch it! It is still in the theaters in some countries. If not, download it, buy it, rent it or do something else, but WATCH IT. It is beautiful.



And here is a picture of the real people that the movie is based on! 

Abdel Sellou & Philippe Pozzo di Borgo 

Enjoy and let me know how you like it!
