LADY BIRD THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY GRETA GERWIG CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE ABOUT THE FILM Lady Bird is a coming-of-age drama directed by Greta Gerwig, set in Sacramento, California, during the early 2000s. The film follows Christine "Lady Bird" McPherson, a high school senior with dreams of leaving her small town and attending a prestigious college on the East Coast. Throughout the story, Lady Bird navigates her strained relationship with her mother, Marion, her evolving friendships, and her romantic relationships. The film explores themes of identity, family, ambition, and the challenges of growing up. It captures the universal struggle of adolescence, blending humor and emotional depth in its portrayal of self-discovery. TRIVIA SAMPLES: “Saoirse Ronan had some stage experience prior to filming Lady Bird, and the hot stage lights caused some acne. Instead of covering it up, Ronan and makeup artist Jacqueline Knowlton convinced Greta Gerwig to leave it visible to differentiate the film from other coming-of-age dramas featuring teenagers with perfect skin.” “Saoirse Ronan once mentioned that the most challenging word for her to pronounce with an American accent was "perfect."” “Greta Gerwig has revealed that she was the complete opposite of her character "Lady Bird" during her youth, being more strait-laced and less rebellious.” “Greta Gerwig shared that the first draft of the Lady Bird script was 350 pages long, which would have made the film nearly 6 hours long.”Ver livro
The artistic creations made between about the 1860s and the 1970s are considered modern art. According to history, a Frenchman named Edouard Manet witnessed modern art in the 18th century. However, it was thought that the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood had begun modern painting before the Frenchman, given the works they produced throughout the 18th and 19th centuries lacked the typical academic art forms. Following the Pre-Raphaelites, various changes and movements occurred in the field of art.Ver livro
