Café Society

Hola everyone.

Soooo, today I want to talk about an amazing movie I watched a few days ago. One that totally brought me back to the feeling of nostalgia. Another enormous gift brought to us by the magnificent Woody Allen. And one that feels like a dream.

.
I’m pretty sure that by reading the title you’ve already guessed which movie I’m talking about and yes, you are right, I’m talking about Café Society. I think this movie fits perfectly into Allens previous works like Magic In The Moonlight or Midnight In Paris. They all circle around the late 30s and how the people lived and especially in this one it’s all about this times society – the so-called café society.

.
Actually, the movie is a about a young guy named Bobby who travels to Los Angeles to work in the movie business for his uncle, who is in a pretty high position when it comes to making movies. And while being there he falls in love with a girl that isn’t like all the others, but somehow their love isn’t meant to be. Oh and let’s not forget his older brother who doesn’t always stay on the legal path when it comes to business. And so the adventure begins.

.
For me, the whole movie felt like a dream and actually the whole cinema experience. I watched the movie in a really old theatre, which actually only has one screen and therefore only plays one movie. And the whole room for the audience looked like a theatre and old music was playing and the audience was also so special – much older than me and still so chilled and cool. So the movie and the cinema couldn’t have fitted any more perfectly.

.
Overall, I probably couldn’t have had a better movie night. The movie itself was fantastic and so were the actors and of course the whole look of the movie and also especially the soundtrack. It featured that kind of old music that just makes you feel like you stepped onto the streets of Paris the 20s or 30s, full of romance, luxus and the happiness of life. And that’s why I love it so much.

.
So yeah, what a great movie. Thanks to Woody Allen for creating another piece of a dream. And as you can all probably guess, I can just highly recommend this one to you. And if you are in that kind of movies, you won’t regret it, I promise. And if any of you want to chat about the movie or anything else, I’m here. And until then I hope you enjoyed this post and, as always, thanks for reading. x

Oldschool music

Hola everyone.

This blog post is again dedicated to music, but this time it’s about special music. About special songs, that we probably all know to well. Either from our childhood, from movies we watched and just from pure life. Yep, it’s time to talk about the most epic old school songs (most of them are probably not even that old, but who cares). And again, here are some of my favorites:

  • Heroes – David Bowie (it always reminds me of the movie “Perks of being a wallflower”)
  • Fire – Kasabian (saw it live last year at the Sziget festival – the crowd went totally crazy)
  • Someday – The Strokes (it just makes me feel so happy and full of life)
  • Mr. Brightside – The Killers (to be honest, who doesn’t like that song?)
  • Wonderwall – Oasis (an anthem right there)
  • Teenage Dirtbag – Wheatus (One Direction totally rocked that cover)
  • Where is my mind – Pixies (it just makes you feel supercool; a song perfect for an dramatic ending scene on a movie)
  • Uprising – Muse (basically the only song by music I actually listen to)
  • This love – Maroon 5 (the moment I first heard the song was the moment I fell in love with band)
  • Always where I need to be – The Kooks (a totally addicting song)
  • What Ever Happened – The Strokes (again a really amazing song by The Strokes)
  • Sweet Diposition – The Temper Trap (that’s literally the perfect song to listen to in the car at night)
  • September – Earth, Wind & Fire (the perfect song to get you into the party mode)
  • I Write Sins Not Tragedies – Panic! At The Disco (that band always ruled; my favorite   line is “Haven’t you people ever heard of closing the goddamn door?”)
  • Dance, Dance – Fall Out Boy (one of the best alternative rock bands out there, ever single song is breathtakingly good)
  • The Funeral – Band of Horses (the first song lines I learned on my guitar; always reminds me of How I met your mother)

Sooo, I guess that’s it. Those are my favorite “old school” songs, although most of them weren’t even produced before 2005, but hey. They kinda gives me that special vintage feeling and brings me back to times when that kind of music played on the radio and I was a lot younger.

Hope you like the list and I would also love to hear about some of your favorites, I’m always open to new music. Thanks for reading. x
