Movie Memories

I have a theory that movies operate on the level of dreams, where you dream yourself.
Meryl Streep

The theme word in Take a Word is MEMORIES. I was stuck with this one, then I decided to work with my movie memories. The first try was a mess because there were too many movies. I started all over again with this tiny selection of my favorite movies: Rear Window, Wings of Desire, Blade Runner, Singing in the Rain, The piano, Casablanca, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Amélie, Some Like it Hot, Amarcord. 

“People who LIKE movies have a favorite. People who LOVE movies couldn't possibly choose.” ― Nicole Yatsonsky 

O tema em Take a Word é "memórias". Eu não conseguia decidir como começar, então resolvi trabalhar com minhas memórias cinematográficas. A primeira tentativa ficou uma bagunça porque tinha filmes demais. Comecei tudo de novo com essa pequeníssima seleção de meus filmes favoritos: Janela Indiscreta, Asas do Desejo, Blade Runner, Cantando da Chuva, O Piano, Casablanca, Bonequinha de Luxo, O Fabuloso Destino de Amélie Poulain, Quanto mais Quente Melhor, Amarcord. "Pessoas que gostam de cinema têm um filme favorito. Pessoas que amam cinema simplesmente não conseguem escolher." - Nicole Yatsonsky.

  2. I like your taste in movies, Christine!! Your collage is superb. Just the name of an old film is a reminder of what we may have been doing in that stage of our lives. Fantastic.
