Find your passion :)))



When I was a little girl, I used to dream  a lot about my future. When somebody asked me who I am going to be, I always answered that I would be a singer, dancer or actress.

Few years later I changed my mind and I was going to became a dentist.
But in my junior high school I realised that one thing  I’m interested in is music. I had some problems with choosing my further education. I used to like money so that’s why I had chosen high school with profiles of maths and physics. And I was quite good but in the last class I started to watch French movies and I was totally fascinated with this language, French culture and their life style – (they are usually easy-going people) and finally I decided to study French philology.

Exactly, I’m really glad that I can learn what I’m interested in. I’m content with my complicated plans from the past. I had a big chance to get to know the scientific life but it wasn’t for me.
What’s more – I finished a short beautician course in novembre – I am a stylist of lashes extensions. And I like this job – I have to have nerves of steel  and I need to be really scrupulous but it’s not as hard as it seems. In my future I imagine being a translator and I want to extend lashes during my free time. But I know that my plans would change because I often change my mind. We’ll see :)

But for this moment I’m glad and I can say that my job is my passion – go and find your own;)

200 years of Pride and Prejudice

Pride and Prejudice is a novel written by Jane Austen but also well-known for its adaptations. I mean TV series and a movie.
Unfortunately, I haven't read a novel yet but I saw only the movie because of my favourite actress - Keira Knigthley who played a lead role in this film - Elizabeth Bennet. After that movie, I started to watch costume dramas, for example The Duchess (it's funny because in this movie we can admire Keira Knightley also), The Other Boleyn Girl or Marie Antoinette.
Now, some of my observations between the movie and the TV series:


Here is an episode of the TV series.




And here's an episode of the movie.





In my opinion, that first short-movie seems to be realised more convincingly to what we can read in the novel. It is probably caused by the time of the movie - I read that TV series is 3 times longer than the movie and that's why it might have much more details. Moreover - having a first chapter of the novel in front of me I can compare that the dialogues in this first version are longer and better developed. However, both of them can depict the main idea of the film - give away one of daughters of  Mr. Bennet to a new, handsome and rich man in the neighbourhood, Mr. Bingley.

To summarize it's hard to me to compare these adaptations - I've seen just a movie and for me is
classic and it's in a class of its own. It had had an impact on me - I started to watch costume dramas. I really recommend this movie everyone. In addition, after watching a short episode of the TV series I made my mind to watch them all as soon as possible!
