HER THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY SPIKE JONZE CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE ABOUT THE FILM Her is a 2013 science fiction romantic drama directed by Spike Jonze. Set in a near-future Los Angeles, the film follows Theodore Twombly, a lonely, introverted man who develops an unlikely romantic relationship with Samantha, an advanced artificial intelligence operating system voiced by Scarlett Johansson. As their connection deepens, Theodore grapples with his emotions, loneliness, and the nature of love in an increasingly digital world. The film explores themes of intimacy, identity, and the boundaries between human connection and technology, offering a thought-provoking look at the complexities of modern relationships in a tech-driven society. TRIVIA SAMPLES: “Spike Jonze, stuck in the editing process with an early 150-minute cut, asked Steven Soderbergh to edit it down. Soderbergh returned within 24 hours with a 90-minute cut, which helped Jonze finalize the film’s 126-minute runtime.” “Director Spike Jonze loved his role as Alien Child so much that he would often give notes to his editor and producer while staying in character.” “This is the only film written and directed by Spike Jonze, entirely based on his original script.” “Charlie Kaufman contributed some uncredited screenwriting to the film.” “The airplane sculpture featured in a square outside the Pacific Design Center was entirely created using CGI. There is no such sculpture at the actual location in West Hollywood.”Ver libro
Inspiring, revealing, and deeply relatable, Being a Ballerina is a firsthand look at the realities of life as a professional ballet dancer. Through episodes from her own career, Gavin Larsen describes the forces that drive a person to study dance; the daily balance that dancers navigate between hardship and joy; and the dancer's continual quest to discover who they are as a person and as an artist. Starting with her arrival as a young beginner at a class too advanced for her, Larsen tells how the embarrassing mistake ended up helping her learn quickly and advance rapidly. In other stories of her early teachers, training, and auditions, she explains how she gradually came to understand and achieve what she and her body were capable of. Larsen then re-creates scenes from her experiences in dance companies, from unglamorous roles to exhilarating performances. Working as a ballerina was shocking and scary at first, she says, recalling unexpected injuries, leaps of faith, and her constant struggle to operate at the level she wanted—but full of enormously rewarding moments. An ideal read for aspiring dancers, Larsen's memoir will also delight experienced dance professionals and fascinate anyone who wonders what it takes to live a life dedicated to the perfection of the art form.Ver libro
