Boule de Suif

Novels
Therese Raquin
Sa Majeste des Mouches

I would really love if Vishal Bardwaj were to make an adaptation of Therese Raquin.

I miss school so much too! 😭 Especially my 7th and 8th grade Literature classes...

Oh and I really enjoyed reading Julius Caeser and Brutus was ❤️ in the play 😳
I love the whole theme of external and internal conflict and how it puts friendships and morales to test...

But I find it slightly comical how everyone (well, just Brutus and Cassius) just decide to kill off themselves for no good reason towards the end😆


LOL TBH...there were lots of things comical :P

My brain isn't working right now, but I remember liking even Cassius. All the characters were just perfect, and.. what can I say, he's Shakespeare - the way he portrays human nature is what captures us. ❤️

I think I should read him in future :D

I would love to read the classics but don't have the patience...

So recently I've started watching the movies instead

Loved War and Peace, Pride and Prejudice - 1940, (not the terrible 2005 movie with Kierra Knightley) Sense and sensibility, Les Miserables, To kill a mocking bird, many Tennessee Williams stories( all movies) etc.. Yet to watch Charkes Dickens 😊
Recently watched Moby Dick starring Gregory peck


There are so many good stories from Indian literature that BW can try.

Just occurred to me Sajan story, atleast the basic plot is somewhat similar to 'Cyrano de Bergerac'


and the scene where Cyrano recites, Christain just pretends and Roxane thinks it's Christain speaking is used as comedy in movies like Padosan
