I am starting this blog with one of my favorite cities in the world, Paris! Also one of my biggest friends is travelling there in a few months and asked me for some tips so here we go: Paris was the first place I ever travelled outside of Portugal by airplane. I was about 4 or 5 and I spent a few days with my parents in the city. Of course all I remember from this trip was walking around a lot, eating at McDonald’s because I found the food strange and going to the only place that will overshadow Paris for any child (and even some adults) - EuroDisney ! You see even a current travelling lover had to learn how to travel at some point :) Many years passed, I have been to Paris another 5 times and I can say, without a doubt, that the more you go to city of lights, the more you love it! Every time you visit there is something new to do…a new shop, a new trendy restaurant, a new bar, a temporary art exposition you simply must see! And then there are all the timeless things of Paris
This Hollywood
obsession of turning all bestselling books into movies should end! Not all
books are meant for the big screen and The Girl on the Train sure looks like one. Dealing
with a story with different narrators and timeframes is hard to do in movies yet
not impossible - Nolan’s The Prestige (2006) is a pretty good example of a success. However
this movie failed to do so and Hawkins amazing organization of perspectives and
events in the book turns out boring and loses all of it's suspense. Next time instead
of trying to turn the bestselling book of 2015 into the major blockbuster of
2016, dedicate a little more time to making an interesting plot and not just copy the book! Cheers to Emily Blunt though for an amazing performance!
