An Education

I just finished watching the Virgin Suicides. The movie is just amazing! I love movies by Sofia Coppola! And I love movies with Kirsten Dunst!!! I had been looking forward to watching this movie after reading the book from Jeffrey Eugenides, and it surpassed all my expectations...

I also finished reading the book Emma by Jane Austen. Her books are so amazingly good, I love how she uses words and describe the actions of the characters. Emma is such a great character, I love how she struggles with her vanity and how Mr. Knightley helps her to be a better person. Mr. Knightley is one of my favourite character in her novels so far. There's a certain magical quality to Jane Austen books and it's really nice to immerse in the world of english countryside and in this case in the live of a rich girl and matchmaker. Altough there were some obnoxious characters that I just couldn´t stand!

And this movie...!! it's one of my favourites from now on! I just love everything about it. It's called An Education and it's about a sixteen year old english girl that always dreams of going to Paris and then she meets this older man who seems to make all her dreams come true.

I had a really stressful week and watching this movies and reading Emma for a couple of hours every night made me really relaxed... : ) Sometimes, instead of reading a book really quickly, I just take my time and enjoy it and sometimes it's just what I need. And this couple of movies where perfect for that because they're really artistic and show everyting in a different way. And finally this is a relaxing song that I've been listening to very frequently.
