И снова на подходе прекрасный и нежный, самый первый весенний праздник – 8 марта.
В этот день (хотя и не только в этот) каждая женщина, девушка, девочка (и бабушка! :) обязательно должна почувствовать себя любимой, красивой, особенной и уникальной.
К грядущему празднику мы хотим вспомнить слова восьми великих женщин из мира кино. Знакомство с их цитатами и фильмами в оригинале поможет вам подтянуть владение английским языком, узнать новые слова и полезные выражения.
Audrey Hepburn:
You can even say that I hated myself at certain periods. I was too fat, or maybe too tall, or maybe just plain too ugly ... you can say my definiteness stems from underlying feelings of insecurity and inferiority. I couldn't conquer these feelings by acting indecisive. I found the only way to get the better of them was by adopting a forceful, concentrated drive.
Films with Audrey Hepburn: Breakfast at Tiffany's, Roman Holiday, How to Steal a Million.
Glenn Close:
Learn to walk in each other's shoes. In a world that is depending more and more on screens of various sizes, don't forget to look into each other's faces. Don't forget the power of two eyes looking into two other eyes, and don't forget to listen to each other's voices.
Films with Glenn Close: Fatal Attraction, 101 Dalmatians, Hamlet.
Barbra Streisand:
- I am simple, complex, generous, selfish, unattractive, beautiful, lazy, and driven.
- I arrived in Hollywood without having my nose fixed, my teeth capped, or my name changed. That is very gratifying to me.
Films with Barbra Streisand: Funny Girl, Hello, Dolly!, The Way We Were.
Judi Dench:
Once, a long time ago, I read some bad reviews and I made the decision not to read the reviews. You get some critics who don't like you, or the play. But they don't have to do it every night. I don't want to be affected like that. I loved doing "Madame de Sade". A friend told me not to apologise for myself or the play, and I won't. Then I cast it all off and go and put my feet up under the chimney with my family.
Films with Judi Dench: The Importance of Being Earnest, Chocolat, Casino Royale.
Helen Mirren:
Many years ago, when I started off as an actress, I had the immense good fortune to work with an actor that was so generous at sharing his craft - He became a mentor to me, he helped me believe in myself. Ian Richardson, I'm not too sure I would be here today if it wasn't for you.
Films with Helen Mirren: The Queen, Inkheart, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Susan Sarandon:
I feel I've always been on the outside and always on the edge of an abyss. The women I portray, and the woman I am, are ordinary but maybe find themselves in extra-ordinary circumstances, and what they do is at great cost.
Films with Susan Sarandon: Stepmom, Little Women, Shall We Dance.
Meryl Streep:
Listening is everything. Listening is the whole deal. That's what I think. And I mean that in terms of before you work, after you work, in between work, with your children, with your husband, with your friends, with your mother, with your father. It's everything. And it's where you learn everything.
Films with Meryl Streep: The Iron Lady, The Devil Wears Prada, Death Becomes Her.
Emma Thompson:
I have periods of intense activity, then stop. My ideal is to work hard in the morning until I pick Gaia up from school. Just putting an empty square in my diary seems to make a space in my head, too. You have to be very good at saying no.
Films with Emma Thompson: Sense and Sensibility, Nanny McPhee, Love Actually.
Если вам кажется, что в жизни что-то не ладится – прислушайтесь к этим словам и, может быть, именно в них вы найдёте ответ или полезный совет.
А если до сих пор не придумали, что подарить близким на праздник, то подарить можно милый и полезный, по-настоящему «английский» сувенир.
