Le Manoir Du Diable

Le Manoir Du Diable (1896) (aka The Devil's Castle/The Haunted Castle) is where all horror film roots can be traced back to. A little over two minutes long, this film was the start of the ever popular and favorite of mine horror film genre. Le Manoir Du Diable is the creation the imaginative French filmmaker Georges Melies and contains familiar elements of later horror and vampire films: a flying bat, a medieval castle, a cauldron, a demon figure, and skeletons, ghosts, and witches - and a crucifix to dispatch with evil, all very effective and spooky elements to give us all a pretty chill.

I'm so excited for Halloween!
Do you guys have any costume ideas yet?
If you do, please share!!

I should also add that this is actually Sofia Coppola's debut short film. Wonderful little treat! I think she captured the essence of junior high beautifully.

Reality

What we have here is a dreamer.
Someone completely out of touch with reality.
When she jumped, she probably thought she could fly.
-The virgin suicides

I know my luck too well. Yes, I know my luck too well and I'll probably never see you again.

Nuit Blanche

It’s hard to stay mad, when there’s so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I’m seeing it all at once, and it’s too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that’s about to burst… And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can’t feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life.”

Big Love

“Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude.”

Film of the Day

I fell asleep to one of my favorites last night, The Virgin Suicides(1999), and I thought I'd tell you guys a bit about this film. The movie is based on Jeffrey Eugenides's novel titled (you guess it), The Virgin Suicides (great book by the way, if any of you guys are looking for a summer read), and directed by the incredibly talented, actress, producer, and director, Sofia Coppola. She is such an inspiration and has also been a part of creating and directing other great films you guys might have also heard of, such as, Lost in Translation(2003) and Marie Antoinette(2006). Some famous faces you might have seen before work in tying this story line together and bring a whole new light and feel to the film, such as, a young Kristen Dunst, who plays Lux Lisbon, one of the five sisters, the incredibly good looking, Josh Hartnett, who plays Trip Fontaine, Lux's love interest, and a very young and unbelievably handsome, Robert Shwartzman (lead singer of Rooney). The film takes us through the lives of five sisters, ages thirteen to seventeen years old, during the 1970s. It touches on topics of teenage distraught, love, suicide, rebellion, constraints, and passion. I would definitely recommend this film to everybody, it is a wonderful watch and I find it to be extremely captivating and touching.



As always, I leave you with some of my favorite quotes from this film:

Doctor: What are you doing here, honey? You're not even old enough to know how bad life gets
Cecilia: Obviously, Doctor, you've never been a thirteen year old girl

Cecilia: The trees like lungs filling with air. My sister- the mean one- pulling my hair

Narrator:We felt the imprisonment of being a girl, the way it made our minds active and dreamy, and how you ended up knowing which colors went together. We knew that the girls were our twins, that we all existed in space like animals with identical skins, and that they knew everything about us though we couldn't fathom them at all. We knew, finally, that the girls were really women in disguise, that they understood love and even death, and that our job was merely to create the noise that seemed to fascinate them.

Trip Fontaine: She was the still point of the turning world, man.

Tim Weiner: What we have here is a dreamer. Someone completely out of touch with reality.

Cecilia: Lux lost it over Kevin Haynes, the garbageman. She'd wake up at five in the morning and lay about on the front porch like it wasn't completely obvious! She wrote his name in marker in all her bras and underwear and mum found them and bleached out all the Kevins. Lux had been crying on her bed all day

Narrator: What lingered after them was not life, but the most trivial list of mundane facts; a clock ticking on a wall, a room dim at noon, and the outrageousness of a human being thinking only of herself

Tim Weiner: When she jumped, she probably thought she could fly
