THUNDERBOLTS*

THUNDERBOLTS*

Thunderbolts* released in cinemas, will the MCU succeed in electrifying audiences?

My husband, my son and I went into the theatre hoping to see a Marvel movie that could interrupt the drift of recent years.

Thunderbolts* name inspired by an anecdote told in a scene.

But the asterisk?

The asterisk brings the film full circle, as if it were a palindrome.

Originally in fact the title of the film was *The New Avengers

Thunderbolts*

But *The New Avengers become Thunderbolts* by their very nature, they are not actually classic superheroes.

Not Super Not Heroes

Yelena Belova = Black Widow
James Buchanan Barnes = Bucky – Winter Soldier
Alexei Shostakov = Red Guardian
John Walker = U.S. Agent
Antonia Dreykov = Taskmaster
Ava Starr = Ghost

and then Bob i.e. Robert Reynolds = Sentry

Bob encompasses strength and fragility, simplicity and complication, naughtiness and goodness, with a nerdy air about him.

The actor who embodies Bob is Lewis Pullman.

Yes: Pullman son of Bill, memorable performer of various loser roles.

Do you remember any of the films Bill Pullman starred in?

The resemblance made me smile

But Bob embodies the dark abyss of the burden of life that deflects the movie into something extremely difficult to portray.

I particularly liked Florence Pugh for the way she mixed depression and irony.

On the other hand, David Harbour is pumped, as well as businesslike 🙂

So is Thunderbolts* electrifying?

My husband is not entirely convinced, for my son it’s a yes, and what do you think?

FLORENCE COFFEE

FLORENCE COFFEE

Florence coffee … what comes to mind?

Actually the correct wording is Florence by Mills coffee and Mills is Millie Bobby Brown

Why Florence then?

Florence is the name of Millie’s great-grandmother, a woman who left her with a lesson: beauty is about loving and expressing yourself.

In fact, the brand was originally born for a makeup line.

What about the coffee?

Well … the connection is with the morning routine: waking up with a burst of energy helps you get the most out of your day. Coffee, moisturizer and depuffing … What else do you need? ☕️

I’m going to make a bad impression but my morning mood is much more on the chords of Hopper‘s “coffe and contemplation.” 

Millie Bobby Brown morning routine is:

– waking up

– feed the dogs

– take the dogs out

– drinking coffee

– take supplements

– starting work

Undoubtedly Eleven also has the power of business: this is demonstrated by this line of products dedicated to a very specific target audience.

Morning routine equals time to devote to oneself, a repeated ritual, a habit rather than a practice.

What is your morning routine like?

I do not have a morning routine: there are always many things to do in the morning, however if I could hypothetically my morning routine would be:

– breakfast sitting and outside

– reading

ok, let’s exaggerate: dream morning routine

– walking on the beach

Do you want to dream too?

MORNINGS ARE FOR COFFEE AND CONTEMPLATION

MORNINGS ARE FOR COFFEE AND CONTEMPLATION

Of course I couldn’t help but go crazy for this scene

 

David Harbor has a long filmography even if before Stranger Things probably many had that famous feeling of “I’ve seen him in which movie?”

Undoubtedly Hopper is a character!
And undoubtedly the step from Hopper to Alexei Shostakov aka Red Guardian is a bit of a caricature compared to the features that made Hop so loved.

Regarding Black Widow, I would especially mention the cover of Smells like teen spirit

 

And speaking of covers: David Harbor proposed American Pie in one of the opening scenes to give more emotionally engaging depth to his character.
Good job.

But most of all, I really enjoyed this visit to his Manhattan home

 

Books and books among which he was keen to show two copies of Don Quixote.

And then guitars, plants, and the memory of “Shakespeare in the park” in New York with Meryl as Juliet and Kevin Kline as Romeo I can’t believe I’ve been missing so far!

You knew it?
See here what I found! To me it’s like One-eyed Willy’s treasure!

To be explored ASAP !!!
