Kill Your Darlings – movie review

Hola everyone.

Today I’d like to present you another movie I recently watched. And trust me, you’re going to love it just as much as me.

The movie is called Kill Your Darlings and I’d say that it’s a really really special one. It’s about the famous poet Allen Ginsberg and his time in college. The story follows his path through college, while he’s meeting new people and making friends. This is also when he meets Lucien Carr, who shows him the crazy side of life and poetry and together they plan to change the world and break the rules to make it better. But then something really bad happens and everything seems to break apart. Allen is the one who could either solve everything or make it even worse.

Exciting, right? I especially liked the way how the movie works. It’s really artsy and full of aesthetic and poetry an philosophy and dreams, with special people who do all the things others are too afraid for. And also the actors are amazing – Daniel Radcliffe as Allen Ginsberg and Dane DeHaan as Lucien Carr. And I have to say that Dane is really really crushworhty, for real. And it’s crazy that he’s already 30, while still looking all young and hot. And they both are breathtaking and perfect for their roles. And lets say, they work better together than I first thought.

I also loved how the story is based on true events, on a true human being. And the quotes, oh my god the quotes. There is one that I can say has become one of my most favorite quotes ever:

Allen Ginsberg: Some things, once you’ve loved them, become yours forever./And if you try to let them go… They only circle back and return to you. They become part of who you are…

Lucien Carr: …or they destroy you.

How beautiful is that? It makes me want to fall in love and write a sad book about sad love at the same time. So intense and fascinating.

Overall, I really really really enjoyed watching this ,movie and I’m happy that movies like that exist, because they are really special and those you’ll probably never forget. So I can just highly recommend it to all of you guys. Oh, and if you’re interested, here’s the trailer. If any of you want to talk about the movie or anything else, I’m here. And until then, enjoy the movie and I hope you enjoyed this post. Oh, and as always, thanks for reading. x

Music of the month

Hola everyone.

I know it’s early for a music of the month list, but hey, there can never be enough lists about music, right? I have to say that my current taste in music and my favorite songs are especially influenced by all the new upcoming albums of some of my favorite bands. And of course they all thought “why not release some singles first and basically bless all the ears on this planet???”. Thanks guys.

Anyways, all this songs are freaking amazing and I love them and some have a special meaning to me and some are just a blessing. But all of them are perfect. Enjoy.

OneRepublic – Kids (such an amazing song, perfect to sing to – link: youtube.com)
Kings Of Leon – Waste A Moment (I couldn’t be any more excited for their new album – link: youtube.com)
Conor Maynard – Close (another cover, but it’s freaking breathtaking – link: youtube.com)

Twenty One Pilots – Heathens (that doesn’t really surprise anyone, right? – link: youtube.com)
Panic! At The Disco – Death Of A Bachelor (this song and Brendon’s voice are a blessing – link: youtube.com)

Basically any Fall Out Boy song, for real
Foals – My Number (this is my official Reading hymn, so I can’t listen to it, but I still have it in my head and I love it and it just makes you want to DANCE – link: youtube.com)
The 1975 – Somebody Else (when I think about their set at Reading, I think about this one immediately – link: youtube.com)
Two Door Cinema Club – Sleep Alone (god, I love this song so much, it is such a tune live – and on CD too, ofc – link: youtube.com)
Banners – Ghosts (his voice is so smooth and just pure heaven – link: youtube.com)
Martin Garrix ft. Bebe Rexha – In The Name Of Love (I actually listened to it again for the first time today after hearing it live two months ago, still getting all emotional and happy, god I wish I could see Martin every week – link: youtube.com)

Soooo, here you go. Here are my current favorite songs and yes, I’m in love with every single one of them. If any of you have the same taste in music as me, feel free to chat with me, for real. I’d love to talk. And until then, I hope you enjoyed this post and list and, as always, thanks for reading. x

My favorite TV shows

Hola everyone.

As many of you probably know by now, I loved watching TV. But not in that “I have no idea what I’m watching, I’m just watching Tv so I’m doing anything” – type. I embrace the tv shows and movies I watch. I try to get into the story, sympathize with the characters and step into another world for some time. And also, now that I still have one month left until uni starts again, I have a lot of time to do and watch whatever I want. And i thought, why not talk about some of my favorites tv shows of the past years? Let’s go.

Gossip Girl
- I have to say, just in this year, I have watched this show three times already. That’s how much I love this show – I’ve already talked about that in another post too. I just enjoyed the story and the characters. At first I didn’t really like it that much, but it got better and better. And I think this is one of those shows you just have to see. It’s a must. Also, I love Blair.

How I Met Your Mother
- This one of the shows I started with – my TV show obsession. I always watched it after school when I got home and I got so into the story, I just couldn’t stop. And Ted and his friends were just too cool. And then the show got better and better and story got deeper and deeper and I had to cry more and more. And seriously, the last three episodes killed me. I cried so much. Please go and watch this show. It’s funny and emotional. And just perfect. You won’t regret it.

Scrubs
- Another perfect example for a perfect tv show. God, how did I love watching this. I laughed from the first second on. And I wished to be friends with all of them. Oh and I even once met Zach Braff in London, which just tops it all. I juts love how they put super funny and crazy characters together with an at the end really serious and good story. Well done guys. Another must, for real.

Downton Abbey
- I started watching this with my mum in February and currently we have two episodes left and then it’s over. And god, that was a rough trip, seriously. And I loved every second of it. This is my portion of Englishness every now and then and I couldn’t live without it anymore. Also, it’s crazy to see how the nobility and the servants lived together.

New Girl
- I have always loved this show with all of my heart. And it made me so jealous. Because Jess lives together with most crazy and funny people ever. Oh god, what would I do to live in that apartment. It’s so much fun watching them, how funny must it be to live in such an apartment. I’m really glad that this show exists, it brought a lot of laughter and happiness into my life.

American Horror Story
- This is like a horror movie, just that it’s a super creepy and sometimes really really really disgusting and gory tv show. For real, sometimes my parents walk past the tv while I’m watching it and ask me what the hell I’m watching while somebody is being eaten alive on the screen. But actually, the show is amazing. I love how the stories are always different from season to season. And how the actors stay the same. And I couldn’t be more excited for the upcoming sixth season.

Cougar Town
- I just started watching this show about three weeks ago – but I knew it before already – and I looooove it. My mum does too. Mainly because Jules and her son are exactly like my mum and me. Just that the crazy friends in our kitchen are missing. It’s so stupid and funny and crazy and watching it makes me so freaking happy, seriously. If any of you get the chance to watch this, I highly recommend it. Really.

So, there you go. These are pretty much my favorite TV shows of all time. And I still watch all of them until today. And I couldn’t enjoy all of them more. I really love them all. And I’m happy that they exist, because they bring a lot of happiness into my life. And they can turn a bad day into a good one. If any of you are into tv shows as much as me, I’d love to talk to you. And until then, I hope you enjoyed this post, and as always, thanks for reading. x

Reading festival -the summary

Hola everyone.

I know, this is already a little bit getting out of hand, but I just can’t shut up about the festival. Actually, I also didn’t quite know what to post today. This week is kinda weird, with 3 posts already this week and still Friday being the day for me to tell you guys a little story. So, I thought why not summarize the past three posts? Let’s go.

Honestly, I think that Reading is a really special festival. It’s different to others that I know, because the music is the most important part of the weekend. It doesn’t have cute decorations or people doing dance shows or activities to do between the gigs. It’s all about the music and the fun. And I love that. And besides that, it’s also quite old and full of history. My mum and I especially noticed that when we saw people her age walking around and families. We never walked past a whole family at Sziget last year. So that was really cool to experience. It kind of breaks the cliche that festivals are only for young people. Which is so damn wrong, just saying. My mum is the best example.

Also, I was really surprised by its dimensions. I knew that it was sold out completely, but I didn’t think that it would be this big with so many people. I was overwhelmed. And still am. And you could really see that everybody was enjoying their time there. Pure happiness all around, no worries, no problems, just music and fun and love. Just perfect.

Finally I have to praise their choice of bands. The lineup was really breathtaking, seriously. I never thought that somebody would ever do that and create the perfect lineup. But they did. And I got to experience this amazing lineup live. And I got to finally see Fall Out Boy, which is like so damn unreal still. God, I’m so happy.

Guys, if any of you ever get the chance to attend this festival, please go and do that. You won’t regret it, I swear. And I can actually say that this time wasn’t my last. I can already see myself attending it again. And I think this isn’t even this crazy to say. So yeah, see you again Reading festival.

So yeah guys, there you go. That was my weekend at Reading festival. Three days I’ll never ever forget. If any of you love music and festivals as much as me, don’t be shy and hit m up. I’m here. And until then, I hope you enjoyed this post and, as always, thanks for reading. x

Reading Festival – Day 2

Hola everyone.

And helloooo again and welcome to the festival show. It’s time to talk about the second day of one of the best weekends of my life. My weekend at the Reading festival in England (day 1 – here).

Soooo, the day started with a short shopping trip with my mum, as there was a mall close to our hotel. But as you know, music matters the most so we quickly decided to get to the festival area and start our second day of pure awesomeness. Also because the surprise act had just gotten announced – You Me At Six. And hello, of course you have to see the surprise act, which we did, luckily. Although it were just a few minutes, I’m glad that we got to hear them. And yes, they were amazing.

After that we had a little time because the next band on our list was going on stage in an hour or so. So we walked around and then sat down next to the tent stage and listened to Sigma. And also we watched the people there – you wouldn’t believe how crazy the people dress there, it’s so weird and cool at the same time. And funny, of course. After getting some dance beats, we walked over to the Introducing Stage and listened to a really really awesome band called High Tyde. They actually are from Brighton and have that typical english indie pop rock sound, which I loooooove. So yeah, I really enjoyed this one.

Following that we walked back to the tent and waited for the amazing Jack Garratt to come on stage. I already knew him before the festival and oh my, I didn’t know that he would be THAT good. Like, he plays guitar, keys, djs and sings, all at the same time. How crazy is that? I was so impressed. And besides that, I loved how you could see how he enjoyed the show, I think that’s the little piece that perfects a concert. Seeing that the act enjoys it too and really loves to be on stage.

Then it was already time to head to the main stage to watch Imagine Dragons. Who doesn’t know them and their songs. In my country, they are a typical radio band, but holy moly, I was nearly shocked how much I enjoyed their set. I never thought that I’d enjoy their music THAT much. But for real, they are breathtaking live. And their lead singer Dan is just too cool. And he looked so nice and he was nice, actually. Telling us how much he loves to be here. And yes, I cried. It was just so emotional and I was so overwhelmed by the music and the people and the fact that I was for real watching an amazing band at a festival I had prayed to attend for like half a year. It was just too much. I love my mum so much for flying to this festival with me. Seriously.

Oh and then mums highlight got on stage, the headliner of this day, Red Hot Chili Peppers. That’s a band mum connects to her youth, so it meant really much for her. I only stayed for 20 minutes, because I wanted to see Two Door Cinema Club, but my mum told me that they were amazing and I’m really really happy for her.

The last band we saw that day were, as already mentioned, Two Door Cinema Club. I ran to the stage to get a great spot, which I luckily did, and I couldn’t wait to see them. Some of you may know why, but I’ll tell you anyway. They are the band everything started with. They were my first real concert, my first band shirt and the start of my taste in music, which I love, for real. So yeah, it REALLY meant a lot to see them again after three long years. As you can probably all guess by now they were breathtaking. I loved every single second of it and never wanted them to stop. And again, I just had to cry. Another perfect end of another perfect day.

So yeah, this was day 2 of my perfect weekend at Reading festival. Stay tuned for day 3 tomorrow. I really hope that you enjoyed this post and, as always, thanks for reading. x

Reading festival – Day 1

Hola everyone.

3 days. 22 bands. And probably one of the best weekends in my life. Yes, I’m talking about the coolest festival of this year – Reading festival.

I don’t even know where to begin, it was such a cool and huge weekend and I just loved every single second of it, for real. This is why I thought to split the three days, I hope you like it (so, days 2 tomorrow).

The first day was kind of a rush at the beginning because mum and I got there directly from Brighton, which meant that we had to get up at like 7 am (I was close to falling asleep standing). But after we got into the hotel in Reading and to the festival area, everything was just perfect. The first band we saw was Nothing But Thieves and I can tell you, I was going crazy. I love the band so much and they were so amazing live and Conor, the lead singer, was sooooooo freaking damn cute, oh my god. He told us how important this days was for him and it felt so special.

Afterwards we watched Mura Masa, visited Russell Howard, probably one of the funniest people on earth, then The Internet, a new upcoming band called Paris Youth Foundation and and then the evening was already coming up. It started with The Neighbourhood, a band I’ve known for years now and had always wanted to see live. And I have to say, they were amazing. After that we had a little rush back to our hotel because it was getting cold and mum wanted to change into something warmer. Unfortunately this costed us some time and caused us to be late for Twenty One Pilots, too late to get some space in the tent. That’s why we had to watch them over the big screen.

Oh and I have to say something about the show. Tyler had a lil accident while playing the last song and surfing the crowd to get to his platform and the internet literally went crazy after that. I read all the comments at home but let me tell you, it really wasn’t that bad. The security should have looked after him but it wasn’t the crowds fault. And saying that they will never come to the UK again because of that is just ridiculous. So, nothing bad happened clique and yes, they slayed. And I loved every single second of it. That show reminded me again why I’m so in love with this band.

After screaming out 21P lyrics, mum and I went over to the main stage to watch Foals, a band none of us had ever seen live before, so I was pretty excited. And I have to say, they were really cool. Sometimes they had some kind of scream parts, which I’m not that kind of fan of, but besides that it was amazing.

And after Foals had rocked the main stage, we quickly went over to Jack Ü to dance to some beats. Luckily they played the one song with Justin Bieber, the one song I wanted to hear live so it was really cool. And I was so happy. And after that we had a quick listen of Oliver Heldens.

And that was it. Day 1 was officially over. And I walked home with the biggest grin ever. And a huuuuge amount of excitement for the next two upcoming days. Oh and speaking of that, as already mentioned, I decided to split one post into three for the three days, so it doesn’t get too long. So, stay tuned for tomorrow for day 2 and more crazy festival tales. And until then, I hope you enjoyed this post and, as always, thanks for reading. x
