Emma Award

Ich habe den Emma-Award bekommen – vielen Dank an Elise :) Wie ich es immer halte, werde ich keine Sites nominieren, da ich den Award „persönlich“ nehme und außerdem niemanden „in die Pflicht“ nehmen möchte. Rechts seht ihr die Blogs, die ich für lesenswert halte und eigentlich alle nominieren müsste ;)
I received the Emma Award from Elise – thank you :) According to my usual policy I will not nominate any sites as I take the award “personally” and also do not want to make anybody feel obliged to do the same. On the right hand side you see those blogs which I consider worth reading and actually I should have nominated all of them ;)

Aschenbrödel - Cinderella
Der Märchenfilm “Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel” wird jedes Jahr um die Weihnachtszeit auf verschiedenen deutschen Fernsehkanälen gezeigt. Der 1973 in den damaligen Ostblockländern Tschechoslowakei und DDR gedrehte Film hatte schon vor dem Fall des Eisernen Vorhangs auch im Westen Deutschlands Kultstatus erreicht. Die Geschichte entspricht nicht ganz der Grimmschen Version des Märchens, aber das tut dem Vergnügen keinen Abbruch – im Gegenteil! Ich liebe diesen Film, seit er das erste Mal im deutschen Fernsehen gelaufen ist, und damals war ich erst in der Grundschule :)
The fairy tale movie „Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella“ is being shown on several channels of German TV every year around Christmas. The movie which had been made in 1973 in the former Eastern Block countries Czechoslovakia and GDR achieved cult status also in West Germany long before the fall of the Iron Curtain. The story is not exactly like the one of the Brothers Grimm, but that does not really matter – on the contrary! I have loved this movie since it had been shown on German TV for the first time, and I was only in elementary school then :)

Eine großartige Schauspielerin - A Great Actress
Actress Sophie Thompson caught my attention immediately when I watched “Emma” (with Gwyneth Paltrow) and “Persuasion” (with Amanda Root) for the first time. In “Emma” she is wonderfully wacky in the role of Miss Bates and in “Persuasion” she is just as wonderful playing Anne Elliot’s egocentric and hypochondriac sister Mary Musgrove. What I didn’t know until recently, though, was the fact that Sophie is the younger sister of Emma Thompson who of course is well-known in her role as Elinor Dashwood in “Sense and Sensibility” of 1995. Below you can watch scenes from “Persuasion” and “Emma” in which Mary Musgrove and Miss Bates are appearing.
