That’s right, all ogres are destined to live lonely, miserable lives being chased by torch-wielding mobs who want to kill them. So the young Shrek set off, and eventually found a patch of swampland far away from the world that despised him. Many years pass, and the little ogre grows into a very big ogre, who has learned to love the solitude and privacy of his wonderfully stinky swamp (Big Bright Beautiful World.) Unfortunately, Shrek’s quiet little life is turned upside down when a pack of distraught Fairy Tale Creatures are dumped on his precious land. Pinocchio and his ragtag crew of pigs, witches and bears, lament their sorry fate, and explain that they’ve been banished from the Kingdom of Duloc by the evil Lord Farquaad for being freakishly different from everyone else (Story Of My Life.) Left with no choice, the grumpy ogre sets off left to right Jacob Ming-Trent to give that egotistical zealot a piece of his mind, and to Adam Riegler hopefully get his swamp back, exactly as it was.

  • A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
    A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens Stave V "The End of It" Yes! and the bedpost was his own. The bed was his own, the room was his own. Best and happiest of all, the Time before him was his own, to make amends in! “I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future!” Scrooge repeated, as he scrambled out of bed. “The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me. Oh Jacob Marley! Heaven, and the Christmas Time be praised for this. I say it on my knees, old Jacob, on my knees!” He was so fluttered and so glowing with his good intentions, that his broken voice would scarcely answer to his call. He had been sobbing violently in his conflict with the Spirit, and his face was wet with tears. “They are not torn down!” cried Scrooge, folding one of his bed- curtains in his arms, “they are not torn down, rings and all. They are here – I am here – the shadows of the things that would have been, may be dispelled. They will be! I know they will.” His hands were busy with his garments all this time; turning them inside out, putting them on upside down, tearing them, mislaying them, making them parties to every kind of extravagance. “I don’t know what to do!” cried Scrooge, laughing and crying in the same breath; and making a perfect Laocoon of himself with his stockings. “I am as light as a feather, I am as happy as an angel, I am as merry as a schoolboy.

  • Eddie Redmayne E Felicity Jones Di Nuovo Insieme a Bordo Della Mongolfiera Di Tom Harper - Di Alessia De Antoniis
    THE AERONAUTS Alla Festa Del Cinema Di Roma: Eddie Redmayne e Felicity Jones di nuovo insieme a bordo della mongolfiera di Tom Harper - di Alessia de Antoniis 19/10/2019 La storia di Amelia Wren e dell’ambizioso meterologo James Glaisher, che nel 1862 vogliono far progredire la conoscenza del tempo atmosferico e di volare più in alto di chiunque altro nella storia. Mentre stabiliscono primati e portano avanti la ricerca scientifica, il loro percorso di vita, condotto fino a limiti estremi, porta l’inverosimile coppia a trovare un posto in quel mondo che i due, dalle mongolfiere, vedono così lontano e piccolo. In un clima vittoriano e un'ambientazione che rammenta scene disneyane Tom Harper mette in scena il volo in mongolfiera da record di Glaisher e del suo collega scienziato Henry Coxwell, qui sostituito da una regina dei cieli glamour, l'immaginaria Amelia Wren. The Aeronauts è un film fantastico tratto da una storia vera, per la quale Harper e il suo sceneggiatore Jack Thorne si sono ispirati al libro Falling Upwards: How We Took the Air, di Richard Holmes. Tom Harper riunisce Eddie Redmayne e Felicity Jones, già protagonisti de La teoria del tutto. Redmayne interpreta ancora una volta uno scienziato, il pioniere della meteorologia James Glaisher, Jones interpreta un'aeronautica immaginaria, Amelia Wren, che si ritrova a doverlo aiutare. C'è suspense, avventura e qualcosa di esotico in un film che ricorda, in alcune scene, i cieli di Londra attraversati da Peter Pan con le vedute dall'altro della Londra ottocentesca. La mongolfiera sembra uno dei giocattoli della stanza di Mary Poppins, il metereologo Glaisher parte in camicia e giacca da marinaio rischiando si morire assiderato a 11.000 metri d'altezza, Amelia non ha i guanti e non le si congelano le mani.
