Who’s who: Jean Dujardin


Jean Dujardin in "La French"


Talented, hilarious, charming. Just a few qualities that perfectly describe Jean Dujardin. 
French actor, he started his career in a talk show in 1996 but we saw him on the big screen for the first time in 2002 with “À l'abri des regards indiscrets”. 

In 2011 we can assist at his breakthrough with “The Artist”. The film received many awards - including the Academic Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role - and Dujardin became really popular in America and in the rest of Europe. He got a role in films with big Hollywood names like Martin Scorsese and Leonardo Di Caprio (“The Wolf Of Wall Street”) or also George Clooney and Bill Murray (“Monuments Men”). 
I think he’s so popular now not only for his talent but also because he’s different. Jean Dujardin is the European man who went to conquer the United States with his sense of humor and its wonderful French charm. He turns the tables in a world made up of six-pack-men.

If you haven't noticed yet, I have a big crush on him. I saw a lot of his films and unfortunately many of them have never been translated (and I don’t understand a single word of French). In these cases, the only thing I can do is just stare at him, at his beautiful brown eyes, his graying hair, his charming hint of beard and thinking that, in my life, I will end up alone (with 27 cats).

I am not a feminist.  Yes, I am a woman and I don't believe in feminism. It's not that I don't believe in equality between men and women, but the word already gives it away: "feminism". Not the best way to express the "lack of differences" between the two genders (which is bullshit, but this is not the purpose of this post).  I am interested in showing how different is for women to go out by themselves. It doesn't matter if it's day or night, if it's in a club on a Saturday night or during a sunny day in a park full of families. It doesn't matter if it's in a city or in a town. If you are not in the company of a "penis-equipped" person, there will always be someone ready to annoy you.  Everything started last weekend when two friends and I decided to make a trip to London to do something different. We were ready to go clubbing, so we left the hostel (in a quite central area of London) and we head to the bus stop....

10 curiosities you have to know about The Avengers: Age of Ultron

Image
Are you excited to watch Marvel's new movie "Avengers: Age of Ultron"? Well, me too. I waited for so long and finally the day is close! Before watching it, here are 10 curiosities you must know about the Behind-the-Scenes. 1) To avoid Scarlett Johansson's baby bump being seen, the production casted three stand-ins of the beautiful actress. It confounded people on set, especially Chris Evans, who confused one of the doubles with his long-time friend. 2) Tony Stark will be armoured in his Mark XLIII , the new version of the Mark 42 . What are the differences? Exchangeable face, LED light-up eyes, arc reactor and a new range of repulsors. 3) James Spader, who will play Ultron, was chosen for this role thanks to his "calming and hypnotic voice". 4) In Seoul, to film the most extreme and special scenes, they used drones and remote control cars. 5) The costumes used in the film were created by the sports clothing line Unde...

You've Got Mail

Image
Hello, people! I already failed my purpose of writing every day, but here I am. Last night I watched "You've Got Mail", a film from 1998 with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. I already watched it a few years ago, but yesterday I looked at it with different eyes. When you get old you look at things in a different way.  It's quite amusing to watch a romantic comedy about two people that never met having a sort of relationship online in 1998. Even better when they talk about virtual sex and stuff like that. It's fun how the film shows how the computer worked at that time, making that weird noise every time they connected to the web. Or when Meg Ryan explains her frustration in waiting for the computer to connects to see her emails. "You've Got Mail" was released 17 years ago, but it is extremely ongoing.  They are two people that apparently never met but know a lot about each other, insomuch to fall in love. But at the same time, th...
