A good friend of mine made me a painting! It's called Sensibility.


Isn't it beautiful? It was as you probably can see made with the knowledge of my period drama 'addiction'. It sort of reminds me of the beginning of Jane Eyre. If you want to see more of the paintings of my friend, check her website. And leave her a message, she will be thrilled with international messages!

Day 19 - The most hilarious film you've seen

Robin Hood - men in tights. When you watch this movie keep an eye out for the mole on the face of Prince John....

Day 20 - A moving (emotional) scene

I often cry at the end of romantic movies, when 'boy gets girl and they live happily ever after'. But an especially moving scene in my eyes is the one but last scene of the movie Australia. I know the opinions on this movie are varied, but I happen to love it: for it's scale, it's romance, it's beautiful scenery (and for Hugh Jackman.....). In the scene I mean (I can't seem to find a YT vid of it), Drover (Hugh Jackman) believes his love Sarah (Nicole Kidman) has died in the attack from the Japanese planes on the city of Darwin. But she's alive and when they find each other again there's such wild happiness in both their eyes. Very beautiful.

Day 21 - Favourite film from your favourite actor/actress

Ioan Gruffudd in Amazing Grace. I think Ioan is incredibly handsome and though I watched for example The Fantastic Four with pleasure because he's in it, it's not really a great movie. But Amazing Grace is! A moving story and superb acting, both from Ioan and the rest of the cast, including Romola Garai (another favourite of mine) and Rufus Sewell.

Day 22 - Favourite Academy Award acceptance speech

I've never really watched the Academy Award ceremony, it's always in the middle of the night in The Netherlands. So I really can't answer this question.

I really love her tulip painting.

Oh yes, it's a Dutch page... Messages can be left at the tab 'Gastenboek' which means guestbook.

The painting is gorgeous! It does feel like the beginning of Jane Eyre or something...Your friend is very talented =D *thumbs up*

Thanks! I really hope her talent will be recognized in the future and she'll be able to make painting a larger part of her life.

The painting is beautiful!

That painting is beautiful :) I definitely get a Jane Eyre vibe from it too.

And I'm glad I'm not the only one that loved Australia! Apparently it's a crime over here to like it, so I never have the courage to tell anyone my opinion on it. But anyway, that scene is lovely and so emotional!

[birdienl.livejournal.com]

Indeed I heard that not many Australian people like Australia. Well, to me you can spill as much 'Australia' love as you like!

That's a gorgeous painting! It's so Austen/period drama-esque.

I love "Robin Hood: Men in Tights." I just love parody movies lol.

[birdienl.livejournal.com]

I don't like parody movies in general, but Robin Hood: men in tights was just the right amount of funny without being to mean about the original. Because I also love the original Robin Hood: prince of thieves and I would not like too much bashing of that.
